Military and history buffs will love this, the largest display of armored vehicles and artillery in the southern hemisphere. Go for a ride in a tank (adult/child $15/10, 11am and 2pm) or fire off bolt-action rifles (including a WWII British 303 and German Mauser) in the underground bunker (from $90).
