Christ Church Review

The film set of the Hogwarts dining hall was inspired by this majestic university college s Renaissance Great Hall.

Such a beautiful college, buildings are well looked after and the cost of access is quite reasonable for how much you get to see. It does get busy as obviously all the Harry potter fans flock to it but you never wait more than a few minutes to move through a room.

Christ Church is a fantastic experience for anyone that has an interest in Alice in Wonderland or Harry Potter. The gentlemen wearing black hats in the dining halls are happy to highlight all of the features in the hall that played a part in developing the story of Alice in Wonderland. Dining tables date back to the 1500's and are still used daily.

Great to see the dining hall that inspired the one created for the Harry Potter movies. There are quite some similarities.

The college was the setting for parts of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited, as well as a small part of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. More recently it has been used in the filming of the movies of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series and also the film adaptation of Philip Pullman's novel Northern Lights (the film bearing the title of the American edition of the book, The Golden Compass).

Huge college with a story. Lewis Caroll taught here.

This is must visit place in Oxford. This college has given maximum number of U.K prime minister. Super busy during weekend. Online booking option. Oxford university sudent and staff go for free and can take one guest. Highly recommended!

The beautiful place, but desepcionado because 3 places of which were included in the tiket were not avilitados hurt I hope to be in another opportunity.!

An amazing, beautiful piece of architecture and history and set in brilliant grounds. Well worth a visit if you're in Oxford, I can imagine it's an idyllic place to study.

To tell you about the institution's prestige, it is a constituent college of the University of Oxford, yet in the official name it does not include the word "college" because it is not a college, but it is ... the Oxford cathedral! It is worth visiting the large central courtyard, appearing at the entrance. The rooms inside still retain their medieval character.

As a study abroad student for a year, I spent everyday studying at a different Oxford college, Christ Church was my favorite with Magdalen coming in at a close second.

Expensive, popular... Harry potter fever ruined the whole experience

Absolutely worth seeing. Oxford like in a picture book.

Great green space right in the centre of Oxford. Some manicured areas of outstanding beauty. Lovely summer bedding flower displays. Nice to wander at leisure or a nice place for a picnic, and very close to the river.

Definitely top 5 destinations in Oxford. Plus a must-see for any Harry Potter fan.

Spent a week here in a summer program. They are able to deal with many food preferences and allergies. You get a card which lists the preference and the staff will get the correct food. You do have to be careful as they will usually just give you what everyone else is getting. But when you bring it to their attention they do get it right. The hall is magical. Tank a portrait gallery tour to get the history of the portraits and how they are managed.

A lot of history on these walls. Very well preserved

It is one of the most important universities in Oxford, apart from many conferences and private dinners. It's all part of the Harry Potter movie

Great atmosphere, was very impressed with the architecture, if you are fans of the British crime series "Inspector Mors" ... absolutely a MUST

A surprising find right in the middle of Christ Church. Well worth a look!

Beautiful college. Staff were lovely. It's the most expensive college out of them (as far as I'm aware) and I think for what you can do there, and compared to the others, it's quite expensive. I know it's their most popular college and they get a lot of footfall, but it's fairly expensive.

Awesome place with superb architecture! Must visit for Harry Potter fans as some of the scenes were shot here!

I remember the admission price being around 8 or 8.5 pounds. It was pleasant to be there and you can finish walking around in an hour or so. Got to see the dining hall that inspired Harry Potter's dining hall, so that was really cool, but it can get a little crowded.

Magnificent college with an outstanding architecture..for Harry Potter fans there this is a must...big linea to get in but the wait and the price are well worth..lots of places for photo opportunities and the place can get crowded at times...beautiful and iconic university...Don't miss it and enjoy it

Nice place to visit it does get busy so expect a line to get tickets although for us it moved pretty fast (we came around 2:15 after the Hall reopened after lunch) the price to get in was 7.50 pounds for students usually 8.50 pounds I think although it might be more expensive on average because we went on a day where the Cathedral was closed. The main sights are the hall which was involved in the Harry Potter movies. We also went to the picture gallery which is 2 pounds on top of the regular ticket to see the art displays.

So beautiful to walk in this area ... very large gardens around it ...

It is one of the largest and richest colleges of Oxford University. This is to see for the grandiose of these buildings.

Stunning. Everyone who gets the chance should visit this magnificent building and gardens.

This place feels directly out of a Harry Potter movie (some of it was actually filmed there) its a beautiful place and i highly recommend taking the tour.

Christ Church is a beautiful dormitory of Oxford University. Definitely worth a visit in sunny weather. There is also a staircase, which appeared in the film adaptation of Harry Potter. However, the dining room to which it leads was already filmed elsewhere.

Is beautiful. Full of history. It is worth knowing about the site before entering. Better to go on student vacations, if there are no closed areas. Many people and tremendous queues. Take an Oxford Tour that includes it ... Something more expensive, but less overwhelming

Beautiful area. Buildings and surroundings right in the heart of Oxford.
