How are you getting here?

By car

If you’re travelling here on the M3, leave at junction 10. Take the A272, then the A31 towards Alton. Follow the brown tourist signs to the Science Centre. When you turn onto the B3404 at the roundabout, the Science Centre is the first turning on your left.

Before you set off, check out the latest travel news with Highways England, or use Google Maps to plan the best route.

By bus

The No. 64 bus runs between Winchester and Alresford and will take you within 300 metres of the Science Centre, just at the bottom of Morn Hill. Check out the timetable for when the bus will be passing by.

We have a dedicated private car park for the exclusive use of Science Centre visitors. 

You'll find Blue Badge accessible car parking bays at the top of the main car park. There's level access to the entrance from here. There are more Blue Badge bays closer to the Science Centre if you follow the road round to the left. To access the Centre from here, there's a short flight of steps or a sloping path.
