Outdoor activities

The museum is located in the middle of the nature of the Soesterberg Air Base Park. Take the time for a walk or one of our cool outdoor activities.

During the school holidays you can ride in a mini-jeep, mini-tank or a real military vehicle. We will open the outdoor season on April 2, 2023 and the outdoor activities will be open to visitors every weekend. To celebrate this, the SMA is organizing a demonstration twice a day on 1 and 2 April with the mobile collection from Hangar 8. Come and see it!

Price per person € 6,50 for the M3A1 half-caterpillar and € 11,50 for the M688.
Tickets can only be purchased on site at the outside box office. It can be a bumpy ride, so you ride at your own risk.
