牛津是英格兰最适合家庭出游的城市之一,而且大部分精华景点都是免费的。自然历史博物馆(Natural History Museum)拥有一具完整的霸王龙骨架和一个在紫外线下发光的矿石展厅。隔壁的皮特河博物馆(Pitt Rivers Museum)是一座令孩子们着迷的奇趣收藏馆:缩小的头颅、图腾柱、皮影戏偶和瓶中女巫。两个博物馆都完全免费。
基督教堂学院(Christ Church)是查尔斯·道奇森(Lewis Carroll 刘易斯·卡罗尔)担任数学讲师的地方,学院里到处都有《爱丽丝梦游仙境》的踪迹:大厅里的小门、启发了柴郡猫灵感的壁炉,以及马路对面的爱丽丝商店——它就是《爱丽丝镜中奇遇》里的"老绵羊商店",现在出售仙境主题纪念品。
当孩子们精力充沛时,不妨去Port Meadow——一片广阔的古老公共草地,孩子们可以奔跑、在泰晤士河边戏水、观赏马匹和牛群。从植物园出发沿切威尔河(Cherwell)撑篙适合年龄较大的孩子,经过大学公园的那段河道平静且水浅。室内市场(Covered Market)则老少皆宜:Ben's Cookies的饼干可以用来"贿赂"小朋友,正宗的肉铺可以准备野餐食材,而且有足够的室内空间应对变天。
