The ultimate off-road tank driving experience
Welcome to Tanks For Everything
Earthquake update: we are open
Following the Christchurch quake we are open for business as usual and fortunately suffered no damage - our thoughts are with those who have lost people and property in the tragedy. Thanks for the emails and messages asking if we are OK - much appreciated! So if you want to come and do some tank driving or want to make a future booking please contact us on either +64 (0)3 359 1007 or +64 (0)272 900941 or by email.
Tanks For Everything gives you the chance to experience real working military vehicles up close. We offer driving (yes YOU can drive), rides, guided tours, group events and more.
We know our tank driving and ride experiences are awesome fun but dont just take our word for it: click the video to see what Andrei from Russia thought of us.
All Blacks Piri Weepu, Conrad Smith and Keven Mealamu try their hand at our FV432 APC obstacle course challenge, with the winner getting to drive our monster Centurion tank over a car crushing it flat! Click on the video below to find out who won.
Our amazing vehicles range from a classic jeep to a 52-tonne main battle tank. Based just 10 minutes from Christchurch Airport on our own private site, our friendly and experienced staff will ensure you get the most fun possible from your tank experience.
As well as individual and small group experiences we also offer team-building, corporate events, vehicle hire and gift vouchers - perfect for the team or person who 'has done everything' - bet they haven't driven a tank before!
We have vehicles and packages to suit all ages, abilities and budgets but if you dont see what you want Contact Us and we'll customise a tank experience especially for you.
We are open any time by prior booking - our next Tours and Rides family day will be on Sunday 10th June - see the Contact Us page for more info.

Vehicle Tours
We have had a lot of people say that the guided tour was really fascinating and something they hadn't realised would be so interesting and enjoyable before they came along. A guided tour of our vehicles is included with every driving experience and includes up to 5 people at no extra charge. Group rides also include a guided tour. Contact Us
Team-building and Corporate events
