Science Oxford Family Open Day

22 August, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

£6

Welcome back to the Science Oxford Centre as, once again, we open our doors for an amazing and unique science-themed experience for young people and their families. We encourage children to play and explore, design their own experiments and make their own discoveries. You can visit the Exploration Zone and try out the scarf-shooter, build a giant magnetic marble run, see bugs up close under our easy-to-use microscopes, watch water freeze before your eyes and see yourself as never before with our Curious Camera! You can also enjoy our 15 acres of outdoor space with beautiful decked ponds and woodland trails to explore. Follow the clues and find out what wildlife lives in the woods – just ask one of our team for an activity sheet to get you started! Bring a picnic and enjoy an outdoor lunch with a view.

Your ticket includes two hours in the Exploration Zone and access to woodland all day. The morning session is from 10am to midday and the afternoon from 2pm to 4pm.



The health and well-being of our visitors and staff is our highest priority. Following Government recommendations to minimise the risk of person-to-person transmission of Coronavirus (COVID-19):
• All tickets must be booked in advance.
• There are car parking and bike racks available for all visitors.

• All visitors must sanitize their hands upon entering and exiting the Science Oxford Centre.
• Exhibits in the Exploration Zone have been widely spaced to allow social distancing.
• Our staff will wear visors inside the centre.
• Face coverings are required inside the centre (age 11+).
