What to do and see in Oxford, England: The Best Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers

October 16, 2021 Flossie Demartino

In the "city of dreaming spires," academia takes center stage. Gaze out at Oxford's world-famous university from the top of Carfax Tower before heading into the city's pedestrian-friendly streets. Follow your nose to the Covered Market for the makings of a picnic to enjoy at Headington Hill Park. Mix the historic and modern with visits to the 12th-century village church of Iffley and trendy Cowley's ethnic shops and music venues.

Thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon at the Race Hut, as we booked the venue for an international group of colleagues, made up of men and women from a handful of backgrounds and cultures. Charles and the team made sure the event ran smoothly, from the initial welcome and briefing to the podium ceremony at the end. A clean & comfortable environment, and a fully stocked bar helped as well! Highly recommended.

Took my 9 year old daughter and 11 year old son and managed to escape the Alice room with just 13 seconds to go!! Very interactive and imaginative puzzles with very clever use of electronics and magnets to make certain things open etc. Amazing fun and Game Master Aaron was excellent throughout. Will definitely be back to try the other rooms.
