Greater Mankato Now Offering Adventure for those who've Done it All

Looking for a new team building activity for an adventurous group who thinks they have done it all? Look no further. Experience an extreme adventure at Drive A Tank, the nation’s only venue where civilians can drive real military tanks. Drive A Tank is a once in a lifetime opportunity perfect for a group or an individual to experience the feeling of invincibility that driving a tank can offer. Live out fantasies of being unstoppable and having control over some of the most powerful vehicles ever built.

Located in Kasota, Minnesota, Drive A Tank’s mission is to offer adrenaline-inducing quasi-military adventures. With eight authentic military tanks and several military vehicles that have been used in actual combat, you can drive a tank in a combat scenario and run over just about anything that gets in your way, including cars and mobile homes. Those looking for more will appreciate the car crush and the Mobile Home Destruction Experience, where you can experience virtual invincibility while driving a tank through a mobile home slated for destruction.

Your Drive A Tank adventure begins with a brief history and guided tour of the Drive A Tank restoration, maintenance, and storage facilities. Then you’ll start on your two-part adventure including driving an FV-433 Abbott with an open hatch and an FV432 Armored Personnel Carrier, with only a periscope to navigate your way. After your experience you’ll have the opportunity to crush one or two cars or even a mobile home and to take pictures with whatever you just demolished.

Your adventure at Drive A Tank ends with a brief education about historic fire arms and gun safety. You will then choose your arms and go to a controlled indoor firing range for some target practice. Who doesn’t have an itch to fire a machine gun just once?
