Family Day (23 November)

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 make fun animations with the new Animate Science activity. Pick up an Explorer Backpack and see what wildlife you can spot on our outdoor nature trails.

Live Lab: hands-on activities with special guest scientists and researchers. Seeing Differently: Look at different types of visual impairment with a range of special glasses. Can you still read an eye chart, unlock a box, find an object or make a cup of tea?
