About Half Term Family Days at Science Oxford Centre
Visit the Science Oxford Centre for a unique family experience this half term. Explore, discover and play in the Exploration Zone, pick up an activity sheet and follow the winter woodland nature trails.
Children and grown-ups alike have fun experimenting with interactive exhibits in the Exploration Zone, where you can create and test flying designs at the Air Table, marvel at momentum with spinning discs at the Turntable and try to beat the Scarf-shooter.
Mini-engineers can build a giant magnetic ball run or test what’s hot and what’s not with the Curious Camera. Brainiacs can solve puzzles, light-up circuits and get the cogs whirring with our fun, mind-melting activities.
Your ticket includes two hours in the Exploration Zone and access to woodland all day. Please wear suitable clothing and note the woodland will close at 4.30pm, with the last entrance recommended no later than 4.00pm.
