About This Adventure

Experience the thrill of driving a tank and target shooting with giant paintballs in this unique family activity! Perfect for ages 8 and up, you'll learn about the FV432 tank, navigate rugged terrain, and test your aim from the turret. Create unforgettable memories together while enjoying free museum entry!

Duration: 1 Hour

Perfect for parents, grandparents, teens and children (8+ years old), treat your family to some quality time together with this action-packed activity. As if learning to drive a tank wasn’t enough, you will also have a go at target shooting with giant paintballs!

Upon arrival, you will both be kitted out with tank suits (if needed) and helmets before your safety briefing and a short history lesson about the FV432 tank. Now that you’ve learnt about the vehicle you will be manoeuvring, it’s time to get going!

Firstly, your instructor will drive one lap; giving you the chance to enjoy the thrill of riding over the pits and peaks of our track from high up in the turret seats of the tank.

After a lap of the track, you will park up at the target practice position – no not the cows, but the bulls eye target board and two tanks in the middle of the track. You will both learn to charge, load, aim and fire the 40mm air cannon fitted to the turret of the tank from battle position. The question is, who will be the best shot?

Next, it’s the adult’s turn to drive. After mastering the controls, you will drive a lap with the driver’s hatch open followed by a lap in battle position with the driver’s hatch closed, only seeing the track through the periscope.
