Coastal Attraction
Bovington Tank Museum brings the history of armoured warfare to life through powerful personal stories, interactive exhibitions and one of the world’s most important collections of military vehicles.
Visitors can explore more than 300 tanks from around the world, tracing their development from the First World War to the present day. The collection includes historically significant vehicles alongside exhibitions exploring the experiences of the people who designed, operated and fought in them.
Spread across a series of large indoor galleries, the museum offers plenty to discover whatever the weather. Displays combine imposing vehicles with archive material, recreated environments, films and family-friendly activities, making the history accessible to enthusiasts and first-time visitors alike.
The museum also hosts a changing programme of special events, live vehicle displays, talks and tours throughout the year. Located just a few minutes from Whitemead Caravan Park, it is one of the easiest major Dorset attractions to include during your stay.
