Group Bookings

A group booking to the Science Oxford Centre allows use of the Exploration Zone during the Saturday Family Day session of your choice (subject to availability).

Group Bookings are only available on Saturdays. 

Session times are:

  • 10:00am – 12:00pm
  • 12:30pm – 2:30pm
  • 3:00pm – 5:00pm

The Exploration Zone will close at the end of your session, but you are welcome to explore the woodland and outdoor spaces between 10am-5pm.

The outside areas and lobby are shared with other visitors during your stay.

We endeavour to make your booking as smooth and enjoyable as possible and will strive to accommodate your requests. For this reason, we strongly recommend a site visit and/or phone call before your booking. If you have any questions or would like to arrange a site visit/call, please contact our team via [email protected] or 01865 810000.
