The Tank Museum is an amazing place to spend time with the family. There’s so much to see — from historic tanks to interactive exhibits — and it’s both educational and entertaining for all ages. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, making the visit even better. It’s very easy to get to, with plenty of parking available. You’ll definitely want to allow at least three hours to explore everything properly. Highly recommended!

We visited midweek during the October half term school holidays with our 8 year old twins, was worried that with them not being self pronounced armoured fighting vehicle fans, that they may not be entertained for much longer than say 30mins, as last time I visited was a little less than half a century ago! 😳 And it was very bare bones... I needn't have worried the place has grown exponentially, the car park was full, but inside it felt comfortably spacious with loads to do for a very excitable pair of monkeys, who grew more and more interested in what they were seeing. There are loads of looped films explaining the ins and outs of Tank design, Tanks through the ages, Tanks in the movies! You name it there was something for everyone who even has a modicome of interest in the subject. Would highly recommend with over 350 tanks on site of every size and shape and some over a hundred years old! loads to do and see! And a fab gift shop to boot with gifts and toys to suit every pocket! A fab day out had by all, we even saw some real modern tanks driving on the roads outside the museum as its in an active army camp! 5*

Perfect for both tank enthusiasts and those who just enjoy a good museum with lots of physical things to see. The museum is well deserved of its legendary status amongst the military enthusiast community. I’d say it is very child friendly with lots of space, things to do and see as well as an extremely reasonably priced canteen. I went in a day when the Tamiya hall was closed, although entirely my fault due to it being the remembrance weekend. Despite this I still felt I had a lovely time and felt I had seen a lot. I will certainly be back, especially due to the ticket sale lasting for 12 months.

I've been meaning to go for several years now, it was absolutely fantastic everything I dreamed of and more! Getting up close and personal with past giants of military machinery. The variety of tanks on show are breathtaking especially for me the WW2 tanks seeing a tiger 1&2 Vs what the allied forces had to try and combat the German behemoth's. Worth every penny will love to visit over and over again.

This is an absolutely fantastic museum, even if you aren’t particularly fussed on the military. The history, facts, exhibits and children’s activities are amazing! We visited as a family with an 7 old and a 2 year old and spent around 5 hours here. Tickets are cheaper if you book in advance and you can take your own food and drink in as well. The staff were amazing with our 7 year old who has sensory issues, they pointed out the louder parts of the exhibit and they do offer sensory backpacks for the way round. It doesn’t feel cramped either and there is plenty of space for toddlers to wander around. The exhibits themselves are great, essentially takes you from the first tank ever made through to modern day tanks. A big emphasis on WW2 and it was nice to see that there was exhibits on some of the smaller known battles of the war as well as the more obvious parts such as D-Day. There is a walk around the trenches and a part dedicated to horses in the war, both of which are brilliantly done. There are little activities the whole way round such as bunkers with tunnels, mock ups of houses from the war and dress up areas for kids. Probably the best museum I’ve been to in terms of the exhibits and the value for money. If you are on the fence I would say just go, both kids and adults will love it.

Absolutely enormous collection of armour This museum is well run and laid out. It is easy to wander around and see all the "exhibits". Easy to read and informative placards were well placed. Very, very clean. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Demonstrations took place with an M24 Chaffee, the M4E8 Fury and Dingo. A ride on the M548 transporter was an enjoyable experience (if a bit short). Spent over 4 hours on site and could easily have spent more time there. Will return in the future to see what else they are restoring.

Had an absolutely awesome day at the Tank Museum. It is a veritable treasure trove of tanks, with accompanying historical displays, informational boards, and interactive exhibits. The museum is incredibly well thought out. The large free car park leads past a small playground, to the entrance point. This then has a ramp up to the display halls, of which there are several. These are broken up and themed across the history of tanks, and naturally draw your attention to the star of the display, including Tiger 131. The usual museum facilities are all present and correct. The restaurant is reasonably priced, and the food was really good. The Tanks in Action display at 1pm is essential viewing. I'd recommend a picnic blanket to sit on, but it is a highlight of the day. I really can't recommend the museum enough, it was great, and tanks are cool!!! 😎
