A true highlight of places to visit in Norfolk. I have no experience of tanks & my knowledge of warfare is minimal so I wouldn’t say I was a target (haha) audience for the Norfolk Tank Museum but I happily tagged along with my husband who’s an ex Squaddie. I’m quite a chatty person, so I loved the chance to interact & spend an hour hearing the first hand accounts (long tails lol) of the inner workings from Alex. He delivered his in depth knowledge of all the tanks in a listener friendly way, I can imagine children will be enthralled (dressing up in their uniform donations has to be a must, if I’d done that as a kid I’d remember it forever). And best of all, he lets you sit in the real tanks (& wasn’t a bit precious about how you did it). I didn’t really think it would be my thing but it’s fascinating to imagine how it was to drive/win a battle in. The displays of war memorabilia are interesting too, also some (careful) hands on exhibits make the experience truly interactive. I’ve visited a few museums recently (so my review has some credence) and this was by far my favourite. I’m hoping to visit again soon & give the ‘drive a tank’ experience a good go. This is a museum run by genuine enthusiasts, it hasn’t got the latest 3D Tanky talking to you & thankfully there aren’t any flashing gizmos from the 21st century, the café reflects the honesty of the museum & you will like it. For any nostalgic Squaddies out there, the exhibits here will give your heart a warm feeling. Please do go.

What an awesome hidden gem, not a massive museum but some brilliant equipment to look at. Brilliant for anyone interested in armour & has some great exhibitions too, we has our own personnel guide who was very knowledgeable on everything there. Only criticism is shop could do with selling some items with museum logo on ie fridge magnets, keyring & mugs
