Sometimes Call of Duty just doesn’t cut it and you need the real thing. Drive a Tank, based in Kasota, Minn., lets participants fulfill their action movie fantasies and get behind the wheel of a real military vehicle.

 

There are four packages available, starting at $399. The new Sherman Driver package  is the only place where you can drive a Sherman Easy 8 tank. Packages include a history and safety presentation, shooting time on a real machine gun and the opportunity to drive a tank and even crush a car. There are add-ons available for all packages for things like bringing passengers along and adding more cars to crush.

Participants also have access to a variety of assault rifles and machine guns, including a .50 caliber Browning M2.
