We visited The Norfolk Tank Museum on our way home from a weekend stay away in Norwhich. Our daughter has an interest in 1st and 2nd world war items so we thought we would pop in have a look. We really enjoyed our visit here and my daughter was over the moon looking at all the memorabilia and getting to actually sit in some of the Tanks and learn so much about them. Want to Thank Rob for being so attentive and informative. It also has a sweet littke cafe for tea and ices creams & homemade cake! Such a little gem of a place to visit. We shall be back for the Amour Fest on 16th August 😊

Fantastic experience! Went today with the family and we all thoroughly enjoyed. Pete and the whole team were incredibly knowledgable and the tour was fascinating. With a 9 year old tank enthusiast in tow it was great for him to be able to get into several of the tanks and handle some of the weaponary. We also enjoyed a lovely lunch in the cafe to round off our visit. Would highly recommend! Phil

I really enjoyed my time at the museum. They have a very interesting display of tanks, other military vehicles and weapons from different time periods, as well as a communication room with devices used in different time periods. The volunteers are very knowledgeable and friendly and makes the visit even more worthwhile. We also had cake, and it was delicious. I definitely recommend this place :)

Where do I start, it was the most unbelievable day of my life. The variety of the tank collection was awesome. Having a tour ride in the BV206 was incredible. The staff were friendly and happy to help. Stephen with his insane amount of knowledge was amazing and giving time to answer any questions we had. On my visit today we got to see the FV601 start up. It made the experience even better. Ticket prices were decent, easy parking and easy to find. I will definitely visit again for one of the event. I appreciate the hand shake and your kindness Stephen. Top guy👊
