Now this experience is truly a destination attraction! According to CEO Tony Borglum, 88% of Drive A Tank guests come from out of state or out of the country. Tony started this business in 2006 after a visit to the U.K. where he saw multiple places where you could drive a real tank. Thinking it was a great idea, he soon realized there were no locations like it in the U.S., so he set out to provide this unique opportunity at home by creating Drive A Tank. From that moment on, he’s operated this facility, providing entertainment you can’t get anywhere else.

Tony is a wealth of knowledge, too, teaching more than just how to drive the tank, but its history as well. To make it even more interesting, he has created several unique packages that offer a variety of options to drive many different kinds of tanks or armored car alternatives. He also offers a shop and an equipment tour that you won’t want to miss.
Beyond Driving: Additional Experiences and Attractions
The fun doesn’t stop there. You can sign up to shoot a variety of machine guns and if you’re feeling particularly destructive, you can sign up to crush a car or even level a mobile home! Who knew destroying stuff could be so fun? For a one-of-kind experience, this is the place to go. History, power and tanks – you won’t find this in your traditional FEC.
