We had a fantastic day out at the tank museum, found it really interesting and really enjoyed the display.

A huge museum with so much to see. To fully appreciate this museum you'll need a very early start or go back twice. Amazing! I couldn't believe how much they had there.

We had a brilliant day out at Bovington Tank museum, we really didn’t realise just how much there was to see. With all the English and foreign tanks, bunkers, guns etc that you can have a go on. Just the pure history was amazing, and of course the present day conflicts - it really brought it home in regards to what is happening right now. If you haven’t much time in Dorset set a little aside for the tank museum.

Excellent displays depicting the history of the tank. Too much to see in one day if like me you really want to study it. I will definitely be going back a few times. Fantastic day out, highly recommend it.

Excellent, spacious, great action display - will return.

Excellent activity to fill either a morning or an afternoon. Very interesting especially Afghanistan section. Kept the children interested with interactive displays.

Excellent day out in any weather. Museum well thought out, with lots to see and do. The Picture quiz adds to the fun. Tank display great and tank ride really good fun. A great day out for all the family.

If your kids like tanks this is a great place to go.

Fantastic insight into the life of swans - excellent!

Added by Pete on 20/07/2011 10:57:55

This is a lovely place to visit. So peaceful we could have sat there all day just watching the swans and taking in the fresh air. I do agree with the other comment that the half mile tractor ride was a bit mean, but more than made up for by the experience as a whole.

Added by Ros Frend on 22/06/2011 09:28:19

A terrific experience for adults and children!

Added by Tony on 29/06/2011 08:58:37

Very nice place to visit, although the optional charge for a lift on the tractor (50p) is a bit mean :)

Brilliant place to visit. Lots of wildlife to see especially the red squirrels. We spent all day there and would go back again.

Added by Janet Banks on 01/10/2011 16:34:20

Nice 20 minute ferry ride from Poole. Had a very good guide through part of Brownsea. Lovely to see the red squirrels. There is an entrance fee to the island as it is a National Trust property. We found it a lovely day out.

Added by Kevin Cliffe on 09/08/2011 12:06:51

A good day out if you want to combine a short boat trip with a walk in the forest and on the beach. No good if you don't like walking though.

Fantastic! Brilliant!

Added by Alayne Alcock on 13/08/2011 17:07:57

Fantastic castle and views of the countryside and town. Very interesting and good value for money.

Added by Sampson family on 08/06/2011 06:48:33

The castle has a lovely picturesque view and the village is small and contains little gift shops and restaurants and pubs. We found a lovely tearoom next to the model village that did organic and vegetarian food which was presented beautifully. If you are not visiting the Castle Grounds (National Trust) which is a bit expensive for people on a small budget then there is not much more to do.

Added by Janet Banks on 01/10/2011 16:28:59

Brilliant place with stunning scenery and lovely little village.

Added by D.Norwell on 27/08/2011 10:21:16

Incredibly interesting historic site. The children enjoyed finding out the information for the quiz as did the adults! Very informative and well laid out. Stunning overall ++.

Added by George on 17/08/2011 21:00:32

Brilliant. Took 9 year old granddaughter who thought it was 'awesome'. The day was a special event put on to celebrate Enid Blyton/The Ginger Pop Shop.

Added by Seabear on 17/07/2011 14:34:28

Great value for Money. Stunning views in and around the castle. Castle can be accessed by Car or by the Swannage Railway. The latter is far better. Not sure if the Castle would appeal to the very young. Can get a little bracing on Windy days.

Added by Sandra Draper on 26/06/2011 18:45:05

Very enjoyable to explore, the views from the top are spectacular. Combine visiting Corfe Castle with a trip on the Swanage Steam Railway and you have the complete ideal day. Pick up the train from Norden and go through to Swanage and enjoy the pleasures of a quaint English seaside resort (even Punch & Judy shows on beach) then get the train back to Corfe Castle alight and explore.
