So, you have made it this far, now it is time to take the controls of the steel soldiers!
The civilian’s tank driving adventure is an approximately 3 to 4 hour, hands on military vehicle historical experience.
Your time with us includes an introduction to armored vehicles, how they were used and who used them. A tour of our storage, maintenance and restoration facility is also included to give you an in depth view of our armored vehicle collection. You will see the inner workings and mechanical wonders of these amazing vehicles.
After a short safety and Tank Controls 101, you will take the controls of the two tanks. The first vehicle that will test your tank driving skills will be the FV 433 Abbott. The 105mm gun barrel points you in a forward position to complete your first course run. For this exercise, the tanker’s hatch will be open, giving you excellent view of your surroundings and your mission.

Next, we test you to see if you have what it takes to drive a tank in a “combat” type situation. You will attempt to navigate the speedy FV432 APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) through the course with the driver’s hatch closed, using nothing more than the periscope to navigate, just like a seasoned tanker in enemy territory.

Do you have the desire for even more tank adventure?
Then our car crush packae is for YOU! Under your navigation, the 120,000 pound Cheiftain Main Battle Tank (affectionately named "Larry") drives over a car!

Included in your DRIVE adventure is the chance to test fire some of our historic firearms in our adjacent indoor shooting range!
