Experience something new today and try driving a tank, they are most often seen in war stricken areas or on the television but now you can experience handling one of these military vehicles and see just how heavy they really are. Many companies big or small like to have team building days or corporate entertainment so why not try tank driving and see how much you really trust your colleagues.

Tank driving isn't just necessarily about driving you can experience using the different controls and act out scenarios that enable you to use all the functions of the tank. Some places also allow you to race tanks although they don't go very fast; you can also have the chance to crush some vehicles using the tank just like what you see in films and on the news.

If you have a young son whose ambition is to one day join the army, then this could also be the ultimate gift. Youths as young as 16 can try tank driving as you don't need a drivers licence to participate. Tank driving on average costs from £100 and depending on what you do that day, prices can go up.

For boys who like their games, try tank paintballing where three people will work together and challenge another team. Paintballing is a very exciting experience but combining it with tank driving makes it more challenging as you will have the hatch down and only periscopes to guide you.

Driving a tank can be very exhilarating and give you an adrenaline rush; there are height and weight restrictions so it's worth checking beforehand that it is suitable for you as being too tall or too heavy can cause the venue to refuse admission even though you have paid for it already. You can usually take spectators and participators with you but this can cost an additional £10 per person. It's also worth mentioning to the doctor if you have any medical conditions as he may discourage you from participating.

Tank driving experience days usually have insurance cover but you also have to take some responsibility such as bringing personal belongings at your own risk etc. If you are unsure whether or not a company is legit, then you should do some research or pay a little more to book with a well established company that has trusted reviews.
