The donation for tank tours is $20.00 per person, per tank. Rides are $250.00 per person on the Sherman and $150.00 per person or $125.00 per person for a group of four on the Kangaroo. Participants must be 12 or older, capable of safely boarding and dismounting the tank without assistance, and complete a liability waiver (those under 18 must have a parent or guardian complete said waiver). Tank tours will be available during the hours posted, and tank rides will be conducted during the event's onsite "parade laps" each day. The loader's, bow gunner/assistant driver's, or gunner's positions are available for Sherman riders; riders aboard the Kangaroo will be in the assistant driver's position or the personnel compartment."
