Science Oxford Centre
Family Day
Families
Visit the Science Oxford Centre for a unique family experience. Explore, discover and play in the Exploration Zone, where children and grown-ups alike have fun experimenting with interactive exhibits – create and test flying designs at the Air Table, build a giant magnetic ball run, and see what’s hot and what’s not with the Curious Camera. Experiment with water flow and dam building at the outdoor Water Lab.
With 15 acres of woodland and ponds, there’s plenty to explore outside too. Pick up an Explorer Backpack and trail map and see what wildlife you can spot.
Please note: Saturday 7 October is a Sensory-friendly Family Day with a lower capacity – book here.
Saturdays in October include Live Labs in the Exploration Zone, part of IF Oxford science and ideas Festival.
Go on a pumpkin hunt in the woodland on Saturdays 21 and 28 October, spooky outfits encouraged!
