SCIENCE AND INNOVATION PARK
THIS 545-ACRE MULTI-PURPOSE SITE IS HOME TO THE SCIENCE MUSEUM GROUP COLLECTION

On the tour you will see huge icons of transport including a Sno-Cat used in the first motorised crossing of Antarctica, right through to an ice cream tricycle that helped win the Second World War.
PUBLIC GUIDED TOURS
DATE: Dates available up to 30 December 2026, seven days a week (except for 24–27 December).
LOCATION: Hawking Building, Science and Innovation Park, Wroughton, SN4 9LT (near Swindon)

I make that near the No. 49 bus route (Stagecoach) from Fleming Way, Swindon via Devizes to Trowbridge.
Happy memories of seeing the "Science Museum Store" there. My understanding is that this is a guided tour through a single modern building, with the old aircraft hangars not now accessible due to concerns including asbestos issues.
