    Cracking day for all ages literally one to one-hundred

    We were meeting God Children at a half way point and the ages ranged from 6 to 14. With my accessibility needs the options are always a challenge to say the least! The modern museum could not have been more accessible and you can literally spend the whole day here.

    A well enlarged and delightful museum

    Went with a group of disabled Veterans and was enthralled with the museum and did not want to leave. So much information and exceptionally well set out

    I'd rather be in a Wheelchair 🙂

    Visited Bovington Tank Museum and saw lots and lots of tanks surpisingly. Throughout wheelchair access was great and I could wheel myself easily amongst the displays. Information boards be at a perfect height and angle for me to read and because I was in charge I could do so at my own speed. There were areas I didn't venture and a large, steep ramp between floors, which was avoided. No problems in either the cafe or the shop. There are disabled toilets but don't recall checking them out, sorry. Also didn't check out their outdoor display this time. Glad I wasn't a tank operative generally they seemed crampe, smelly and hot inside. I hasten to add I did not try one!! although you could.
