The Tank Museum
Absolutely brilliantly day out. I had very little expectations. Thought they’d have a few tanks on display and a few medals. Nothing like that. The place has so much going on. They’ve thought of everything. And parking is free, which is always a bonus. We visited in the 6 week term so really busy but when I booked my ticket for the day (£45 for 2 adults and 2 children) I noticed you can add the annual pass for free with the ticket so make sure you do that. We will definitely visit again. The kids loved it. Highly recommend a visit

Brilliant place , a must see for all small boys & grown up ones too. You can spend the whole day here as there is so much to do. They have a display area as well where possiblely twice a day at weekends you might see some of the tanks replicate a battle. Nice cafe on site with plenty of toilets about. From what I seen there was plenty of ramp access to all areas.

Easy to find and significantly more professional and well presented than when I went as a kid. So, so many tanks and military vehicles with loads of info about the exhibits. One area was closed off due to a wedding, but we still ran out of time to see it all. Hopefully in a few years time they will cover the Ukrainian war and the impact drones have had on tank design and tactics.

What an absolutely brilliant day out. So worth the visit. The live tank display is a must and thoroughly enjoyable. Tank rides are available at an extra cost to the entrance price but worth it. Lots of WW1 and WW2 exhibits with interesting and moving personal accounts. With recreations of what life was like in a wartime bunker which you can actually walk through. Large cafe and seating available but gets busy. You can bring your own picnic and sit on the grass overlooking the tank display arena. Very friendly and helpful staff ready to answer any questions. I highly recommend a visit.

Having last visited the Tank Museum in 2001, I was not sure how much could have changed in that time, and I was slightly apprehensive that my young child might be quickly bored, but this was absolutely NOT the case!There are more than ample interactive activities for kids in almost every room, with each section being very well thought out to appeal to all age ranges. There is also reasonable cafe and soft play to keep young families occupied if the activity trails aren't enough, which is a bonus.The museum also offers sensory backpacks for children, which was a very nice touch.The tanks themselves are still very tastefully displayed and remain the real highlight.Highly recommended!

I think I felt like a 6 year old with big toys for the whole 4 hours it took to take the place in... Loved it!I arrived with a love for tanks and left with knowledge of the reason and history of the modern tank. It's an amazing collection expertly presented.

We were so impressed with our visit. We visited with our 3 year old and stayed for over 4 hours. There are some really great kids activities throughout the museum like army figures, lego, top trumps, dressing up, puzzles etc. I’m not that into tanks myself, my husband is the one who wanted to go, but I still really enjoyed myself and found everything so interesting. So much to see and a very big museum. Highly recommend. They also have some bargain books!

Been a few times, great place, never gets boring. Lots of information and not just only tanks to look at. Fun and interesting enough for probably any age group, and as someone who is rather interested in tanks I really enjoy going there with my dad.

Best tank museum in the world! Went there for Tiger Day with the premium tickets. Well worth the cost of them in my opinion. Though I only saw maybe 1/3 of the collection. You need 2 days to see it all if you do go. I liked how you were able to see the workshop and other tanks they have in storage that are off limits to the general admission. Makes you feel like the premium ticket price is worth it. Also they let you climb up on, but not in dozens of other tanks. Getting on top and seeing Tiger 131 climb the hill in their arena was truly a one in a lifetime experience if you're into tanks, history, or militaria in general.
