Drive A Tank — Attraction in Kasota

Worth the money to drive a tank. You get some extra chances to ride in a humvee and the back of an APC. Range was good instructions and safety procedures were clear and concise. Wish they went into the history of the tanks and vehicles. Super fun course and experience. The 3-Star package also included a machine gun shoot which was actually an MP5 instead of a sten. Tank instructor was great at his job in guiding me through the course.

Other than that my only couple problems with the place is the owners vulgarity which isn't bad but the whole course felt pretty unprofessional. Owner just kinda seemed fed up with people messing around over the past however years its been open. Sort of would like a more slow casual experience. And when picking out weapons a chance to actually look at the firearms before firing them instead of a kiosk and actually being able to learn about the guns and learn how to operate them. Great opportunity to learn about some guns and their operation sort of gone to waste. Of course there's liability and safety, but interactivity goes a long way. Maybe airsoft replicas of the firearms so guests can look at them before they shoot. Like lock and load miami. As of now you just get the gun and they load it up and you dump the mag. Now I love machine guns as much as any other guy but guns are more than just the big bang of it.

Besides that had a blast and its quite the privlidge to be able to...

I'd been looking to drive a tank for years and finally made the trip out to Kasota for this experience. It absolutely did not disappoint. The owner did a fantastic job of introducing us to the safety procedures and rules, mixing entertaining stories and jokes with clear instructions. The tank driving was extremely well organized, staff were excellent at their jobs and very fun to talk to! The Centurion was an absolute joy to drive and truly fulfilled a longstanding dream of mine. The range was equally well-managed and efficient, with eye protection that fits over glasses. Their unique selection of historical and modern firearms was so impressive that we decided to try a few more in addition to the regular package. They even refunded the cost for the MP-44 when it stopped working halfway through. My mother had a great time with the Bren, too! With better affordability than the majority of other tank driving locations in the US and a vast selection of vehicles and weapons to try, Drive a Tank is a must for anyone interested in military history or in just doing something wildly different. The knowledgeable and capable staff help to maximize enjoyment without compromising on safety. Bring a change of clothes though, the Minnesota mud...

I’m not really sure what happened. I went to this business because my nephew was doing a movie shoot. There was no signage to indicate where to go exactly when I showed up. Saw a guy with a camera on a dirt road so I knew he was part of the crew. I waited until he walked up to my car and told me to go back down the road. I did this immediately and parked. Got out, walked back down the road. I waited until it was ok to go see my nephew and the rest of the crew. I joined them and turned around to take a picture. Next thing I know this raging stress-hole comes up to me and loudly proclaims that I obviously have no idea how to act around heavy equipment and to get off his property. It was strange enough that I thought he was part of my nephew’s crew pranking me. Nope. He was an owner of Drive a Tank. My nephew apologized, didn’t know what the real problem was, so I left because I didn’t want to mess with his video shoot by enraging the owner’s hemorrhoids any further. I definitely am not interested in being customer at this place. It’s easy to be friendly when things are easy. I think they are the ones who don’t know how to behave around...
