The most memorable part of our trip for me was when we entered Narnia. It truly felt enchanting and transported me back to my childhood. It was an incredible experience. Little miss is currently fascinated by comics, so she particularly enjoyed discovering the history of comic books and exploring the interactive area. She had a great time!
One of the highlights of the museum is the Enchanted Library, a magical space filled with books and stories that come to life as you explore the space.
I recommend buying tickets for Small Worlds if you have a child age 5 and under. We didn’t check it out during our visit but it looks like great fun.
Visitors can purchase a day ticket to The Story Museum for £12. However, the museum also offers “Pay What You Can Sundays” which allows all visitors to enjoy the museum for as little as £1 per ticket. You can find more info here.
We took the train from London Marylebone to Oxford. It takes approximately 15 minutes to walk from the station to The Story Museum.
The Story Museum also hosts a range of special events throughout the year, including workshops, performances, and festivals. These events offer visitors the opportunity to engage more deeply with stories and to explore different aspects of the museum’s exhibits.
Overall, The Story Museum in Oxford is a fantastic destination for families, children, and anyone who loves stories. With its imaginative and immersive exhibits, engaging storytelling sessions, and range of special events, it offers a unique and unforgettable experience that will leave you feeling inspired and enchanted.
Although our admission to The Story Museum was complimentary, all opinions expressed are solely my own.
