Despite the fact that most of the museum is closed for major renovations, this was still a hit. My daughter loved the speaking throne, a truly fantastic idea, and she loved dressing up. The little shop has some nice books and little gifts. The cafe looked like it had a small but nice selection of cakes and tea/coffee, but there was a bit of a wait and the handful of tables were taken so didn't try it. Strongly recommend for children under 10 (ish).

What an amazing find! A beautiful book shop and cafe, we didn't have time for the events but loved the atmosphere and lovely books. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the best bit for me - are two lamps outside, being a Tolkien fan this was brilliant.

My 9 year is a real bookworm so really wanted to go. She enjoyed the Alice in Wonderland part. But the room with talking throne is very tired and needs some work. I feel this museum is much better for younger children. It a shame they don't have more for an older child.

Mixed feelings - it's a reasonable size and a lot of good ideas have gone in to it, but a lot of it feels a bit tatty and somehow unfinished. We went with young children who enjoyed looking around but weren't really enthralled by anything in particular, but I can see that older children would probably appreciate it more. Not overly expensive, and the additional activities can be good. Cafe is very is pleasant.

Amazing place to spend a quality time with you children I would say from any age but from age 2 they will enjoy more ;) the staff is amazing ! Every single one of them are delightful. We went to a Chinese new year celebration activities. And we spend really good time making lanterns dancing with dragon and just listening to a story. Thank you for being in Oxford hart.I love all the activities they offer but the place it self needs a bit renovating . Buggy place outside doesn't look very safe but thankfully I never had any problems. Otherwise 5stars !
