  Tanks in Action
 

Tank in Action is a 30-minute outdoor tank display including loud pyrotechnic explosions, culminating in a mock tank battle.
The display features a selection of vehicles used on the battlefield. Some are from as early as World War Two.
Vehicles rides are also available during the day.

  Armoured Vehicle Rides
 

Available for £3 per person.
The vehicle (M548) has tracks like a tank which is perfect for our bumpy tank arena.
The vehicle takes up to 16 at a time so the whole family can jump on together.

  Tank Rides
  Climb into the commander’s seat of a main battle tank, and you will get an idea of how it feels to take charge of a 30 tonne war machine. The Tank Museum is able to offer a limited number of tank rides during our Tank Action displays (see 2008 events calendar). These must be pre-booked. (To get even more hands on, ask about our Tank Experience Day!)

Cost £150 per person
You will be taking part in the display and riding in at least two vehicles, one of which will be a tank
