Every program at our Minnesota Drive a Tank location includes:
A tour of our command center.
A detailed safety briefing and an overview of tank history
Then you’ll climb into our 5-ton troop transport vehicle for the short ride to the battlefield.
Next comes a short introductory tank driving lesson in the FV-433 Abbot.
Each tank adventure includes an opportunity to fire one or more famous weapons inside our indoor shooting range. For example, our introductory package includes the firing of a World War II STEN machine gun.
What kind of tanks can I drive?
Drive the FV-433 Abbot (Included in every tank adventure)
Every tank adventure begins with stick time in the FV-433 Abbot. The Abbot may look like a tank, but technically the FV-433 is a “self-propelled gun”. SPGs like the Abbot serve a different purpose in combat. The Abbot is the easiest of our armored vehicles to operate so all Minnesota Drive a Tank adventures begin with time in the Abbot FV-433.
The Abbot's 105mm gun barrel will point the way for you as you complete the introductory driving course included in every tank adventure. The tanker's hatch will be open, giving you an excellent view of your surroundings and your mission. (Don't worry. You won't be alone. Your instructor will ride along, coaching you.) A friend or family member is welcome to ride along, but will not be permitted to drive.
Drive the FV432-APC (Included in all but our introductory programs)
After a driving lesson in the Abbot, you can advance to the FV-432 Armored Personnel Carrier. In the FV-432, you’ll experience what it’s like to drive a tank in a "combat" type situation. You’ll be challenged to drive the speedy FV432 APC through the course with the driver's hatch closed, using nothing more than the periscope to navigate, just like a seasoned tanker in enemy territory.
Drive the Chieftain MK10 Main Battle Tank Over a Car (Included in our most popular programs)
Our most popular packages include the chance to crush a car with a legendary Chieftain. The Chieftain FV4201 was the main battle tank of the United Kingdom during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Our MK10 model debuted in 1985.
Drive the M-4 Sherman E-8 Tank (Optional)
The Sherman “Easy 8” was the main battle tank used by American and Allied Forces during World War II. Choose a Sherman adventure and you’ll start in the Abbot and progress to the 432 before taking command of the Sherman. Then, you’ll top off your incredible day with a car crush in the Chieftain. Our Sherman package includes a chance to fire a STEN, plus two other legendary weapons.
Drive a Russian T-55 Main Battle Tank (Optional)
The ultimate tank adventure includes time in the Abbot, the 432 and a Russian T-55. T-54 and T-55 Soviet battle tanks debuted shortly after World War II. (You’ll also get to crush a car and fire four famous World War II weapons.)
