The Tank Museum
The Tank Museum holds the world’s most comprehensive and important collection of armoured fighting vehicles. From the first tank ever built to the modern Challenger II, we house examples from all over the world. See the explosive Tanks In Action display, and experience for yourself the thrill of riding in a tracked vehicle as it thunders around The Museum arena.

Open daily from 10am-5pm, with free parking, gift and bookshop, licensed restaurant, picnic and play area. A great day out for all the family – whatever the weather.
