Watch and hear history come alive as powerful military vehicles from the Second World War rumble into action on our demo track behind the Museum.
Kids and adults alike can get up close to the vehicles, chat with our friendly staff and volunteers, and learn how these machines worked—and why they mattered. There’s plenty to explore for curious minds of all ages!
Art activities, cool collector displays, tasty eats, live riverside tunes, and tank-themed goodies in the boutique. Plus, tons to explore in the Museum—don’t miss it!
