The Oxfordshire Museum — Attraction in West Oxfordshire

We are local and visit probably every other week as my kids love it so much. It is fairly small but has plenty to keep you occupied for a couple of hours. They've just got all the costumes back out and other items/exhibitions that were put away due to Covid. The Dinosaur room is perfect for younger children (up to around 6/7) and there are lots of rooms with drawers etc for the kids to explore.

The exhibitions that change every few months are variable, the Alice in Wonderland one was wonderful but most since have been more suitable for adults. The garden is lovely and contained.
