Discover the Wonders of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car from the Cotswolds, take the A40 road towards Oxford. Continue on the A40 until you reach the Wolvercote Roundabout, then take the first exit onto the A44. Follow the A44 into the city center. As you approach the city, keep an eye out for signs directing you to the university area. Once you reach the city center, look for parking options nearby, such as the Westgate Shopping Centre car park or the Oxpens car park. After parking, it's about a 15-minute walk to the museum. Head south on the main road, then turn left onto Parks Road, where the museum is located at the address: Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3PW.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transport, head to your nearest train station in the Cotswolds. Find a train service to Oxford. Once you arrive at Oxford Train Station, exit the station and catch the bus number 400 or the number 5 bus towards the city center. The bus ride takes about 15 minutes. Get off at the stop for the city center (noted by 'St Aldates' or 'Cornmarket Street'). From there, it's a 10-15 minute walk to the museum. Head towards the Radcliffe Camera, then continue on to Parks Road, where the museum is located at Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3PW. Be sure to check the bus schedules, as they may vary.

• Taxi

  If you prefer a more direct route, consider taking a taxi from your location in the Cotswolds directly to the museum. This option provides a convenient and comfortable journey, especially if you're traveling with a group or have luggage. The taxi ride may take approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on traffic. Make sure to confirm the fare estimate with the driver before starting your journey, as costs can vary.
