Christmas Holidays: Operation Christmas19 December 2026 - 3 January 2027

Best trip of my life Genuinely amazing place, the tanks are awesome, your ticket lasts a full year, the staff are amazing. It's never too croweded either apart from school trips, otherwise you have all the room you need. Must go for anyone into tanks.
The manager heard it was our last day in England so he let us into the conservation centre and into a tank for free. Will definitely go again

Exceeded Expectations-Wonderful Place We visited for my husband’s birthday, we knew we’d like it but had no idea just how brilliant this place is. Check in was friendly and the chap round at the start of the museum was really helpful and told us a talk would be starting soon so we went on that. The lady was excellent! I forget her name but she did the talk on the cut in half Centurian tank on October 1st in the morning around 11.30 if the museum is reading please check who was on shift and give her a massive thank you and well done, she was so interesting to listen to. We then wandered into the main section, so much to see! Honestly you will be pushed to do it in a day. We will absolutely head back using the year return feature of the ticket. Hats off to everyone involved.
The place was clean and had a good flow to lead you around from exhibit to exhibit, the stories are deeply moving, the one with the chap who took the compass from the wrecked tank and had a harrowing escape had us just stood there in quiet awe as did the display on the back wall of the WW2 area where veterans are interviewed in a film- deeply moving. We are all more blessed than we know to have had that generation go before us. Highly recommend a visit here.

So big and just amazing The tank Museum just wow it was far bigger than I expected. It is an all day event and I mean an all day realistically to every story you need more than one day and some of these stories are very powerful. It flows very good. The layout is mind-boggling to how many tanks they can get into that place. It’s a bit like a Titus and must’ve been playing Tetris squeezing in all them tank it’s just amazing a great day even for the young ones. There is plenty there to keep to keep them entertained
Staff really friendly really knowledgeable

A short walk from the museum where they maintain the tanks that will just blow your mind how many tanks they have in that place

My advice a good pair of walking shoes so much to see and do

Good value on the Ticket as you can come back in 12 months to properly read everything you will need to come back

Great day here is something for everyone

Tanks Great, relaxing place no, perhaps a bit of a good scrap yard, but full of tanks

Vast and impressive! What a huge museum! There is SO much to see here - every time we thought we were turning a corner to the exit, we'd find ourselves in another room full of tanks and more to see! This is a truly impressive place with a vast collection of tanks and all sorts of other war memorabilia. When you buy your ticket, it's valid for a year (excluding event days) which I think is a great idea, because there's so much to see I don't think you can really fully cover it in one visit. We'd definitely visit again.

Living-History is Fun! Terrific collection of vehicles and their history. The organizers have gone to great lengths to provide realistic live-history exhibits to complement the large array of military vehicles. Bovington, Dorset: Home of the Tank. Highly recommended!

I could not recommend this place enough! I could not recommend this place enough. It was one of my highlights of our trip to the UK. The museum was amazing but the people made it what it was. Incredibly helpful and friendly.

A Must Do The Tank Museum at Bovington is an amazing place! I recently visited the museum on Tiger Day and and actually the day before. The information on vehicles is spot on, the ability to touch them is very much appreciated. All of the staff I encountered were genuine, helpful and truly invested in the museum and that is everyone from the volunteers to the chief of operations (Simon) who I had the pleasure of meeting. If you are able to arrange a visit on Tiger Day or Tank Fest, I recommend taking advantage of the Premium tickets. It is well worth the cost of the tickets which may seem steep to some but again, the parking, access and additional experience is more than worth it. I cannot wait to return, with my adult kids in tow to show them the tank life I enjoyed (and endured) in the 1980s. The museum is Top Tier across the board.

The day at the museum. We had great time at the tank museum. All is very impressive and some tanks are still up and running taking part in Tankfest shows. I’m not into tanks, but my brother is and thanks to him we went there. Nobody was disappointed. Everything is very well kept and is very interesting. This is apparently second largest tank museum on this planet. Has little restaurant, other coffee shop and very well stocked gifts shop. They are offering guided tours as well. Loads of information provided about tanks. I would highly recommend visiting there.
