The Tank Museum, in the Museums & Galleries category, brings the story of tanks and their crews to life in an awe-inspiring modern museum. You can come face-to-face with over 300 tanks that shaped our history, and hear powerful stories from the soldiers that fought in them, in Dorset's largest indoor attraction. This October Half Term, there's a packed programme of exciting challenges, interactive trails, and hands-on creative activities. There's also an online shop selling models, books and clothing. Set in Wool, Dorset, it's close to Wool station, 1.3 miles away, and there are 36 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, making it easy to combine with a nearby overnight stay.
