You can book guided tours of the museum during opening hours by calling +49 (0) 51 92 / 25 52 or by e-mail at any time. Please book guided tours at least 14 days in advance.

Guided tours are aimed at adults and children aged 12 and over. Unfortunately, children under the age of 12 cannot take part in these tours.

Guided tours are available for groups of up to 30 people and only by prior arrangement.
Groups of less than 10 people may be combined. This allows us to give other visitors the opportunity to take part in a guided tour.

A guided tour costs EUR 6 per person. The museum entrance fee must be added.

As a rule, a museum tour lasts 120 minutes.

An overview tour covers the history of tanks from 1916 to the present day. The tanks and military vehicles are viewed in their historical context, providing an overview from the First World War, through the Second World War, to the end of the Cold War and the Bundeswehr’s missions abroad.

English tours are not possible until further notice.

A personal tour guide system is used in the museum tour: The museum guide accompanies you through the exhibition and all visitors also receive a small device with headphones, which makes it easier to hear the museum guide. The volume can be adjusted individually and you can follow the tour at a sufficient distance from other visitors without missing anything.

Here you will find all opening hours of the museum.

Please note that the Tank Museum is closed during the winter period in the weeks between Christmas and New Year. Please check the opening hours if you would like to visit us during this time.
