Family of 5 adults this place does not disappoint! Real life sized tanks real experience of the trenches and how life would have been. The exhibition is amazing very informative and you learn a lot too! Admission prices really good we had the ticket where we can return within a year too.We were all really impressed with everything and couldn’t choose a favourite! My grandad was in world war 2 and I wanted to see the tank he drove the Cromwell he died 30 years ago and I definitely felt closer to him

This time we had more time to visit the whole museum and you can't help being amazed at the information and facts about these small to large vehicles used in war and peace times

No rush to move around and a lovely restaurant to fuel up on food before more viewing

There's so much to see and very moving accounts of men at war. The restaurant served tasty food too at reasonable prices.

I only heard about The Tank Museum earlier this year .

I went , Thursday 3 September . A very specific date .

To see the tanks I made as kits was a strange experience .

We hear don’t we ,  young people know little of the wars which led to modern Britain .

Trips to the Tank Museum , irrespective of politics , would help explain what young men had to do : whether British , German , Russian or American .

I just know I would have been terrified inside a tank in battle . Those shells look hideous . 

God bless our men who fought in tanks .

They absolutely loved it, we were there about 5 hours but could easily have done another 5, maybe another day hopefully? Cafe food was good and staff throughout were very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for all ages but especially keeping those young active minds occupied
