A brillant day out sounds boring visiting a forte but the minute you walk in it has your gripped…read more the feeling and the place where it is situated all help you to take you back and feel what is was like to be there when it was built. The kids are given a sheet where they have to hunt for hidden toy mouses. Hint take a small notepad and pencil for the kids to keep count. The videos showing the forte throughout the years as well as videos showing how it was nelected but saved and shows the progress of the restoration. Various displays as well as equipment are all there to see and to touch, as well as mock up of events all help to make the experience a enjoyable one.. The cafe that is situated inside does a lovely cream tea. Also does kids boxes as well a hot and cold meals. The prices you would think would be over the top but I was very shocked at the price as they are very cheap, and the food is lovely..

Nice walk around the Fort, we didn't go in there because we were repelled by the tacky…read moreadvertisement and the posters in funfair-style hanging there. If there's really interesting historical stuff in there, nicely presented, it should be advertised that way. We had the bad luck to be there while there were the preparations for the olympic games were going on, so there was construction work in the garden done.

Highly recommended if you are travelling to Portland.

Overall it was a positive experience for me and my 8 year old son. However it was not half as good as Flambards which is a similar attraction and the ticket price was very high.

Excellent, for anyone with a glimmer of interest in tanks, or indeed engineering. The museum has an…read moreembarrassment of riches, and is by far the best museum of its sort in Western Europe ( especially with the French tank museum , Saumur, on the verge of closing). They have many very rare vehicles, from every tank- producing nation, and have far and away the best collection of British tanks in the world. This is in part because they are the army's custodian for a great deal of captured material ( from WW2, Korea, and the various Gulf wars), and the links to the army are underlined by the fact that it's located within yards of an active army base. The ticket is £13 for an adult- but this allows you return visits in the same year. The killer is the location; it's a long way from any major city, and there is about one train to London per hour). At time of visiting, they had a "Fury" themed display ( most of the Sherman tanks, as well as the Tiger used in filming were borrowed from Bovington).as well as a War Horse" and WW1 exhibition.

Of all the museums that I have visited throughout the world, the Bovington Camp Tank Museum is my…read morefavorite. In my personal opinion, this museum surpasses the Louvre and British Museum. I am a big tank aficionado, so my opinion is a bit biased. My last visit on March 12th was the best yet. After shopping at their interesting shop, I purchase my entry pass. I told the cashier that I knew that the Sherman tank used by Brad Pitt in the movie "Fury" was under maintenance and not on display. The cashier calls up senior staff and they give me a personal one-on-one visit with the Sherman tank, which was in the workshop. They did not have to be so nice, but they were, so that only confirms my opinion. Tanks from all eras may be found at this amazing place. The Brits produced the first tank in history, Little Willie, named after German Imperial Crown Prince Wilhelm. Winston Churchill, at the time Lord of the Admiralty, sponsored a committee to investigate the building of a new weapon, the tank. Even without a car, the Tank Museum may be reached by taking British Rail to the Wool Station and taking the 104 bus from the Wool Rail station to the Tank Museum entrance.

We bought a joint ticket for the teddy bear museum and dinosaur museum, this was the best of the 3. There was a half hour film telling you all about how the warriors were first discovered by farmers and all about the story of the empourer who first had them built. It was a small but very nice and interesting museum, I don't think any of the warriors on display are authentic but they're very good copies.
