The Tank Museum in Bovington is promising a packed schedule during the Easter holidays, featuring weekday arena demonstrations, tank rides, and themed events.
Nik Wyness, director of marketing and engagement, said: “Over winter our workshop team have been getting our vehicles ready for a season jam-packed of live action displays.
“Seeing tanks moving teaches kids about the history and engineering behind our collection in an exciting, impactful way.”

“We pride ourselves on having plenty to do for all ages, even giving visitors the chance ride in a real tracked vehicle – a Cold War M548 troop carrier.”
Visitors can also volunteer to take part in a mock battle as part of the immersive activities.
The Tank Museum, which is Dorset’s largest indoor attraction, is also running family activities themed around ‘Tea & Tanks’, including crafts, a rationing trailing, and how to make tea in a tank.
The museum has lowered child ticket prices from £12.50 to £4.50 to make visits more affordable.
Mr Wyness said: “We want to see more children and young people engaging with our collections and learning about our heritage.
“We recognise that affordability remains a concern for many families, and our revised child pricing is designed to make visiting more accessible for families without compromising the quality of the experience we offer.”
