Every parent and their child should experience driving around in a tank together and firing giant paintballs at targets! Some say it’s the ultimate bonding activity.
This is called a Dads & Lads experience but don’t let that put you off, Mums & Daughters, this one is for you too!
Get kitted up in the official tank-driving uniform, comprising of a specialist tank suit and helmet.
This tank experience starts with a health & safety briefing and a talk on the history of your tank for the day, followed by a demo on how the controls work.
Before you get stuck in yourselves, the friendly instructor will drive you around the course, showing you how to drive the tank, while you sit in the turret seats and enjoy the thrilling view, as the tank rumbles along the rough terrain.
Then it’s time for the parent to take the wheel! The first lap will be with the hatch open, while you get to grips with manoeuvring the tank, and the second lap will be with the hatch down, using the periscope alone! If their parent’s driving isn’t too scary, the child can sit up front and really be part of the action. Your instructor will be giving you handy tips and instructions as you go, via a headset to get that real combat feel!
Once the basics are down, it’s time for the youngster to start firing some paintballs! Learn how to load up the cannon and how to aim and fire. Launch giant paintballs from the tank and try and hit the bullseye. This is where we find out which one of you has the best skills. We know who we’re rooting for!
The fun doesn’t stop there – you’re also welcome to look around the on-site museum, with some incredible examples of famous tanks, including some used in big screen movies such as Saving Private Ryan & Evita.
There’s also an on-site café, if you want to sit and relax and talk about the awesome experience you’ve just had.
Tank you very much!
