Advantages: Historic, Fun, live shows

Disadvantages: NA

I'm in the Armed Forces, and also interested in my jobs history. It was just my luck to have a Tank museum three minutes down the road from where I live in Bovington. So I decided to go have a visit with my mates one day.

From the minute you walk into the museum, history just hits you. It is host to lots of historical war fighting equipment, from clothes to smaller weaponry, to obviously tanks. The tanks on show time right back to the World wars to the very present. It is host too Sherman Tanks, some of which are the only one left of its kind, right up to the Challenger 2, with modules such as the Scimitar and Chieftan in between.

Occasionally the museum presents Tank mobility shows. This is located just outside and you can sit and watch a variety of Tanks being driven etc with the added commentary given information.

Inside is also a Tank training machine, so using this would be exactly how you would drive as well as engage the enemy in a tank we use at presence. There is also a café I noticed inside, selling various food and drink for when you fancy a break. Next door to this is a gift shop, selling disused bullets and memorabilia to take home to friends and family as a souvenir.

I would have to recommend the Tank museum to everyone as it's a great day out and a lot is learned from our history on British war fighting.

I hope this review helps and thanks for reading

Summary: A must see for anyone
