Tank Driving Experiences

Try something new and get a sense of what it's like to drive on caterpillar tracks with our off-road tank driving experiences!

If you book a tank experience you'll travel to a purpose-built track that's formed for a vehicle with a little more 'oomph' than the one you drive everyday! We have a variety of different tank vehicles, dependant on location. If you've always wanted to know what it feels like to drive a genuine military vehicle, book one of our tank driving days.

You'll be taught how to manoeuvre these metal beasts around a variety of obstacles, both manmade and natural, and if that's not enough at some locations you'll even have the chance to crush a car afterwards! You can take your pick, from tanks from the modern era to classic tank models, and see what they're like to drive. It's sure to be a truly unique experience!
