Hi, has anybody visited the tank museum in Thun recently? It does not have an official web site and there is not so much information about it. It is in fact a part of a military base so on some sites I read that you can go there, on others - that only prearranged group visits are possible.

Both informations are correct.
The tanks outside can be visited freely. Enter at the guard at Dufourkaserne. Monday to Friday, from 0800 - 1800. Not on weekends or public holidays. Call ++41 33 228 34 60 in in doubt.
The rest is in two parts,
Burgdorf and Thun can be only visited with a group of six people. If you don't find five more, you can ask to join an other group. Tours take about 3 hours and must be arragend at least two weeks in advance. Tours can be specialised to your wishes.
