Drive an iconic late-war version of the Sherman tank that features a more powerful main gun and thicker armor during this once-in-a-lifetime tank driving experience!
An evolution from the M3 Medium Tank, the M4 Sherman Tank was named after the American Civil War general William Tecumseh Sherman. Although this tank had less firepower than that of the German heavy tanks, it was more agile and easier to produce, leading to numerical superiority in most battles that it saw action in. A version of this famous tank is featured in the movie Fury, which outlines the trials and tribulations that tank crews went through during the brutal World War II!
You and up to 5 friends have the chance to hop on this historic tank and pretend you're fighting a battle in WWII. With a track designed specifically for driving tanks, 1 person in the group gets to take the controls while the other participants will get to ride along. In addition to driving the Sherman tank, for an added cost, you can also drive a Chieftain MK6 Tank and plow over a real car!
This M4 Sherman E8 "Easy Eva" Tank is the only fully operational tank of its kind in the world. Don't miss out on this unbelievable opportunity for you and your "Tank Crew" to drive this historic WWII tank!
