Space Store Oxford

We booked the astronaut experience which was fantastic. Laksh was also a very knowledgeable and friendly host.

Absolutely amazing experience! Set in the Covered Market in Oxford, this little place is a must do for any space lovers. A personalised tour of space, meteorites and how they’ve formed and found on Earth. How do we know this is from space? All these things and more are answered on this experience.We loved having pics in space outfits. The Virtual reality experience really was brilliant. Steve was so knowledgable and really made the experience for us all. Kids loved every minute (aged 11). Highly recommend.Thank you!

We had such a great time with Steve and the VR experience today. The whole set up was very innovative: a great idea pulled off excellently.

Took my 10 year old son and his friend for his birthday, and they had a great time.

Nicely themed shop with original gifts to browse. Our kids *loved* the VR headset experience and would recommend it if you don’t routinely have access to modern VR as a way of experiencing just how far this technology has come.

A lovely place to work! I've been with Space Store for over 4 years, and every day the whole team love giving our customers and patrons memorable space experiences. The store is perfect for all space-mad kids and adults so do give us a visit if you're around!

This shop is great. Steven was really friendly and helpful and the shop has a wide range of gifts. The VR was fun.

We had such a great experience at the store today. My daughter had a change of heart about doing the VR experience we'd paid for. The man (sadly didn't take his name) was so incredibly kind to my daughter and offered her a brilliant alternative which she loved, and spent lots of time sharing space facts and showing her a meteorite. The shop itself has loads of amazing space themed books, gifts and toys and is a must visit for any space enthusiast. We'll definitely be back. We loved it.

Definitely worth the travel! I bought this for my son (11) as a gift in Dec 2022, booked it in Jan 2023 and went in April 2023. We travelled from Portsmouth and didn't really know what to expect. Upon first arrival I was disappointed with what appeared to be the 'set-up' however I need not have been. My son took along a friend and the chap that hosted was amazing (apologies I cannot remember his name!). He really was very knowledgeable and brought out the knowledge from both boys, the boys were keen and enthusiastic and kept engaged for the entire duration of 2 hours which is not easy. The boys were very so excited and exhausted at the end, getting to place on VR and having a bag of food similar to those that an astronaut would eat. I would highly recommend to anyone that has an interest in space.
