Dads and Lads Tank Experience
This special armoured adventure is an ideal gift for fathers of any age. Dads and Lads (or lasses) are kitted out in military overalls and helmets before riding onboard a thundering 17 tonne armoured personnel carrier. Under the guidance of an instructor you will then climb up into the turret, take aim and fire the unique 40mm paintball cannon on a special target range. Afterwards it's dads turn to take the controls and have a go at tank driving.
Experience Summary: This experience is suitable for one adult and one child and will last approximately 45 minutes. Ride with an instructor before target shooting with the main 40mm paintball cannon. Dads will then drive the tank. Mums and daughters are welcome of course!
