If your kids usually roll their eyes at the very suggestion of visiting a museum, the Oxford University Museum of Natural History might just change their minds. With fascinating collections depicting the natural world – along with a fantastic display of dinosaur skeletons and fossils – there’s plenty here to really inspire."

"The Museum of Natural History is a tall, open space, with displays of animal skeletons and dinosaur bones, and it’s where you can find out about the dodo that featured in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. The original stuffed Dodo, a bird that’s now extinct, is no longer on display, but there’s a model and some information near the entrance telling you all about it."

"Pitt Rivers Museum is definitely one of the best things to do in Oxford if you like a little history or anthropology. This museum houses over half a million objects from different parts of the world and the best part is that it has no interactive displays or computers. Just dim lighting and glass cases that feels like you’ve walked into a private collection – it’s so cool to see."

"The Pitt Rivers Museum is one of Oxford’s quirkier and most interesting museums. Centred around the collection of Augustus Henry Lane-Fox Pitt Rivers, the museum opened in 1887 to showcase its anthropological treasures from around the world. The Pitt Rivers features over half a million artifacts, which together tell the story of the history of man."

"You could stay busy all day in Oxford without leaving the Pitt Rivers Museum. Housed in one of the biggest and most impressive buildings in Oxford on Parks Road, it’s stocked to the brim with artefacts from different time periods and civilisations around the world. Including masks from Mexico and pottery from Pakistan, it’s all here."

"The History of Science Museum - housed in the Old Ashmolean Building, the world's first purpose-built museum building - is a fascinating facility that specializes in the study of the history of science and the development of western culture and collecting. The museum includes the blackboard that Albert Einstein used during his Oxford lectures of 1931, and a fascinating display showing the development of clocks. Other nearby attractions include the Holywell Music Room (1748), reputedly the oldest concert hall in the world, and Kettell Hall (1620), with its beautiful chapel and fine woodcarvings."

"The History of Science Museum houses a fantastic collection of early scientific instruments from Europe and the Islamic World, including sundials and astrolabes of extraordinary beauty. Find your nearest bus stops"

"The Heath Robinson Museum is a biographical museum dedicated to the life and art of its namesake. The museum displays memorabilia, artwork, and objects from the life of Heath Robinson, as well as hosts exhibitions and events that support Robinson's life mission and vision. Admission to the museum is free."

"This really is one of the most unusual things to do in Hertfordshire. A completely unique sight, this Roman Theatre is a theatre with a stage, rather than the usual Amphitheatre which we may be used to seeing from Roman times. It was built in 140AD and is the only one of its type in the whole of the UK."

"The Roman Theatre of Verulamium is an ancient excavated theatre built around 140 AD. It’s unique in that it’s not an amphitheatre, as was commonly built during Roman times. But rather, it resembles a design similar to a modern theatre, with a raised stage."

"Children and adults alike will enjoy this museum, designed to encourage an interest in science and history through Roald Dahl’s characters and stories. A visit to the gallery has often been described as walking into a giant pop-up book and it’s impossible to leave without a smile on your face. So, whether you want to climb inside a giant peach, crawl through Mr Fantastic Fox’s tunnel (not recommended unless you’re small) or simply pay homage to The Twits, this gallery is well worth a visit."

"Not strictly a ‘garden’ but definitely a quirky outside space at Tap Social. Chilled vibes and craft beer from their on-site brewery. Think lots of picnic tables on a bustling industrial estate, with live music and regular street food pop-ups (when allowed)."

"Founded in 2016 out of a passion for good beer and social justice, their eclectic partnerships with local foodie vendors continues with the added bonus of heaters, covered seating and of course the (outside) taproom."

"Tap Social is a craft brewery, coffee house and community space that provides training and employment to people serving and recently released from prison sentences."

"Majestic Wine Warehouse sell wine by the case ensuring better value for money as well as a selection of beers and soft drinks. A glass hire facility is also available upon request and the staff are knowledgeable and helpful ensuring that your every need is met. A local delivery service is also provided."

"As a commercial restaurant, Brookes Restaurant is amongst the finest in Oxford. The modern, spacious restaurant won a design award in 1999 and is as suitable for an intimate dinner as it is for a large corporate lunch or private party. The restaurant is managed by dedicated professional staff who are passionate about the food and wine they prepare and serve."

"The Ivy Oxford do a Saturday and Sunday Brunch (and bank holidays). The restaurant itself is a beautiful art deco inspired space. With options like Truffle Arancini, Zucchini fritti, Eggs Benedict and Avocado Benedict, as well as Hot Buttermilk Pancakes for those (like me) with a sweet tooth!"

"Oxford is an idyllic location for the elegant Ivy brasserie institution, with its stunning canals and historic buildings. The Ivy Oxford Brasserie is close ..."

"Address: Victors, RU5, Westgate Shopping Centre 307 The Westgate, Queen St, Oxford OX1 1PG. Thirdly, we have Victors!. This restaurant-bar is a lovely place to unwind for a few hours for either a coffee, lunch, cocktails, dinner or a weekend brunch."

"Victors Oxford is a Hamptons-inspired restaurant & bar offering a menu of modern American small plates. The menu is designed to share. Dishes are served to the centre of the table, creating a social and relaxed environment."

"For those seeking discounted luxury goods, you might head a bit out of town to Bicester Village which boasts over 100 retail shops. You can get to the shopping village by public bus (about 35 minutes), taxi, or by car (about a 20 minute drive) from Oxford. There is also a dedicated express shuttle from London you can take, which is free for those with a London Pass."
