Incredible We visited for tiger day, it was amazing to see the tank actually driving around the arena, the whole day was brilliant and the museum was fantastic

Tanks for the excellent day out Always wanted to visit the tank museum and finally got to do it, it was a very fascinating place. The exhibits are well laid out and some are accessible and you can go inside, it opens your eyes what the soldiers went through. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful, it has a fantastic shop. Theres thingd to do for the kids they can dress up , theres an indoor adventure playground for them. Well worth a visit

Tiger tank day Brilliant tiger day ,really good seeing all the tanks .cafe very good too

Brilliant! Fun for everyone We visited the tank museum today - a friend and I and our kids. What a fabulous day! Staff so friendly, nice food, so so much to see! Something for everyone and nothing was overpriced- which really made a difference- also there was free water and milk which was such a nice touch

Live Tank Battle Re-enactment. We are regular visitors to the Tank Museum and we cannot recommend it highly enough. Today (9 April) my children volunteered me to take part in a simulated tank battle (the museum often run these and need people to volunteer to be mechanised infantry; you get driven around in a tracked APC and capture an enemy soldier). Joe was the member of museum staff responsible for us and he looked after us very well. We received safety training and we were well supervised. The whole thing was excellent fun.

So much to see and do! Purchase a ticket and you can visit every day for a year if you wish!
Fantastic value for money.
There is so much to see and do here and kids love it. The information and the history would take many days to absorb and remember. The cafe serves good honest food and plenty of it. Nearest railway station if you fancy a lovely walk is Wool and as we walked to the museum we were lucky enough to see quite a few tanks motor down the road. Amazing the speed they can get up to. Don't miss the Conservation Centre and the Tanks in Action.

10 years and it only gets better. It had been 10 years since I'd visited last and even though I am no longer a child I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the tank museum. There are plenty of exhibits to see and get up close with and some interactive displays around the museum also. Defiantly worth a visit. I stayed for around 2 - 3 hours which was plenty of time to have some food and wander around the entire museum. I visited on a wednesday so the crowds were fairly quiet. All the staff i had interacted with were friendly and welcoming. I paid £39.10 for two tickets and have been told they're yearly admission tickets which n was pleased to find out.

Not just for history buffs A masterclass in military history! The collection at Bovington is unparalleled, featuring everything from the earliest prototype tanks to modern marvels like the Challenger 2. Seeing the world's only working Tiger 131 is a highlight.
The exhibits are immersive, well-paced, and incredibly moving, especially the "Trench Experience." It’s spacious, family-friendly, and the knowledgeable staff's passion is infectious.
