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"

"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."

"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."

"Offering a traditional menu and a prized list of Fuller's cask ales, The Bear Inn is a trusty pub in the heart of Oxford. The 'Best of British' menu comprises daily specials, pub classics, homemade bar snacks and tempting desserts."

"The younger sister of The Duke of Cambridge, The House opened in 2009 and has firmly propelled itself onto every list of the best bars in Oxford. It’s no surprise seeing as it’s the same guys who run The Duke – over 30 years of expertise has brought the bar to life. But it would be a mistake to think The House is a simple replica of it’s older sibling."

"It's been featured in Vogue and Elle magazine and it's pretty damn sexy with all its designer furniture lurking about. There's a private terrace for special occasions and although it may seem a bit pretentious, it certainly won't fail to impress. If this isn't cosy I don't know what is."
