Absolutely fantastic museum. Loads of tanks. Kids loved it. Gets busy. Take a packed lunch to save some cash. Staff are brilliant and full of knowledge. We took 4.5hrs go go around everything. If like me and you like to read about all the history then you need all day! You can go back again with in 12 months.

Last visited during the "Tankfest" 3-day event in June 2025, having also attended 1 day at the previous year's equivalent event. Prior to this, I had visited the museum on non-event days during holidays in the 1980's and with my own family in the 00's & 10's. As such, I have seen the site develop. It is without doubt one of the best museums I have ever visited, and my recent experience of attending during the "Tankfest" event has only doubled down on my previous perception. If possible, I would suggest visiting on a non-event day to get a better opportunity to view all the static exhibits in a less busy environment. Then visit again whilst a live demonstration event is occurring so you can see in the live show arena some of the exhibits in action, as well as enjoy the additional retailers and food & drink providers that appear at these events. Parking is on-site and free, and there are plenty of good-quality interactive exhibits as well as permanent refreshment outlets. Too much to see in one visit.

Brilliant, family friendly museum. Busted whilst on holiday in the area. Lots to see and do both indoors and out, with the added benefit of a kids trail during half term to keep the little ones entertained. We kept the soft place area a surprise for the end of the trail. Our family tickets are valid for a year so we would definitely return, if we didn't live so far away! Buy tickets online for cheaper in advance prices
