The Discovery Zone
The discovery zone at Science Oxford Live is a hands-on science gallery that is packed with lots of exciting interactive exhibits that allow children to explore science through play.
Most schools combine a visit to our discovery zone with a show or workshop. Led by an experienced member of our team, they cover a range of topics, involve plenty of interaction and discussion to stimulate thinking and bring science and design and technology to life.
