Feel the Power: Drive a Mini Tank at Tanktopia

Whilst we are open year round, sometimes the weather can interfere with our operations, strong winds can lead to us closing the woodlands course for safety reasons.

Whilst rain doesn’t prevent us from running, the aftermath however can, the consistency of the mud on the track proved just too much recently, and we had to postpone some experiences at short notice, please check the Mud’O’Meter above for an indication of our current ability to run the tanks.

In Tanks We Drive – In Fun We Thrive

Step into the world of Tanktopia where excited kids of all ages 8 to 80+ can take the controls of one of four mini tanks and drive around our woodlands tank track as a fully fledged Tank Commander.

Choose from a range of tank based experiences or make more of a day of it by booking additional activities direct with our partner Forest Facility or add tanks to your Forest Facility Laser Tag session for an added challenge.

Our number one aim is to make your experience as fun and exciting as possible, from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave our team will do its very best to make you comfortable and keep you safe.

For smaller children and adults we can provide a booster seat which still allows for the fastening of a lap belt, we also provide ear defenders for all Tank Commanders, and have available rain macs, sun glasses or baseball caps for your comfort and safety, depending on the weather.

£22.00

Thrilling Mini Tank Driving Adventures

Tanktopia offers an exciting mini tank driving experience for kids and adults alike from ages 8* to 80+, combining excitement and adventure with safe, family-friendly fun, our oldest adventurer to date has been 83.

Families and groups can book multiple mini tanks for multiple consecutive drives to build there own group event.

Our prices vary depending on your chosen experience and you will be able to see these as you build your booking but start from £22 for our Tank Tracks Experience, you can also check out our services page for more info.

*Height restrictions may apply as the driver must be able to see out of the tank and safely navigate the course. We recommend drivers to be at least 1.2m, but all people are different so for safety reasons we may have to cancel a drivers experience if all possible opportunities to enable a safe drive have been exhausted.

**We state approximately because a tank commander reaching the end of a lap of the course without sufficient time remaining to complete another will be required to stop as continuing could delay other customers.

 Verified Fabulous experience!
We knew about Forest facility but wasnt aware of the tank driving experience until we saw it in the 'term times' magazine sent home from school. It was great right from the start, a warm welcome and a knowledgeable owner, a detailed briefing, the childrens safety was paramount and this was clear which was excellent. Our youngest son (11) had a booster seat, our eldest (13) was tall enough without. They very quickly picked up the controls and were enjoying their laps. Some great spots to take videos and photos. They were smiling underneath their concentration! Our boys thoroughly enjoyed the experience which is quite unique, its not everyday you get to drive a tank!! Their feedback, 'When can we go again!'. Thank you and would highly recommend for all ages.

 Verified Great experience and fun had by all!
Great afternoon of fun for the kids ....and adults. We booked 2 sessions of 3 back to back for an 8th birthday party and arrived with some very excited children. Chris welcomed the birthday boy and gave the safety briefing before we moved over to the tanks and took time to make sure the children understood how important it was to follow instructions. We took a short walk over to the tanks set in a wood location. They are propper heavy mini tanks the children really enjoyed their driving round the set out track through the wood. All of them picked up the controls and completed the session. Everyone really enjoyed and as there was no booking after us chris agreed for a extra cost to facilitate an extra go for them all, which was very much appriciated. Thanks for a great afternoon and im sure we will be back again.

 Verified Amazing Mini Tank Experience!
If you are looking for something completely different and genuinely unforgettable, Tanktopia absolutely delivers. From start to finish, the experience was incredible. The mini tanks are an absolute blast to drive! Easy to get the hang of, and ridiculously fun once you get going. The location is perfect too, well set up, easy to get to, and adds to the whole adventure feel. Everything was organised smoothly with an amazing warm welcome on arrival. What really stood out was just how much fun it all was. Whether you go solo, with friends or family, it’s one of those experiences you will be talking about long after it’s over. Honestly, I can’t recommend Tanktopia enough. Thank you Tanktopia for an amazing time and for the amazing photos and videos you captured of my experience!
