Take the train to see the tanks but don't use the loo!
One of our party is an avid tank enthusiast and he was like a kid at Christmas when he saw all of the tanks and other military vehicles on display. At the moment, everything is labelled in Russian so you'll need a translator if you have specific questions. For the rest of us, we were happy wandering around the six hangars and soaking up the atmosphere. We were even treated to a free aerial display as the air force were practicing for an air show. The toilet facilities were dreadful ( four holes in the ground separated by a metre high wall of concrete and you can be seen from the door). Hold it in or buy a stadium pal! My pidgin Russian leaves a lot to be desired but a little goes a long way. We didn't get charged the photography fee and we weren't even asked to provide copies of our passports and visas (although we did have them with us). The security staff even helped us to secure a taxi to get back to the train station. We had a great time wandering about in the sunshine staring goggle eyed at the tanks, it's a shame this place doesn't really crop in many guide books as it was pretty easy to reach from Moscow. I've attached a copy of an email I received when I wrote asking for information, everything you need is there so, I hope it helps. 'If you are going to visit Kubinka Tank Museum, you should bring copies of the first pages of your passports (the page with name, surname, passport number, photo) and leave it at the cash desk at the entrance, where you will buy the tickets. Ticket (per person) – 600 roubles Photo/video (per person) – 600 roubles That is all you need to get the permission to visit our museum. The Museum doesn't bear the responsibility for any other matters (any changes in timetable of trains, for example), which are not related directly to the Museum. You can get to the Museum by local train (Belorusskiy railway station (if you are using underground railway in Moscow, you should get to Belorusskaya station first), the average time of Moscow-Kubinka trip is 1 hour and 10 minutes, also the express trains that a bit more comfortable and 15 minutes faster are available. Ticket price - 117 / 140 roubles ). After arriving to Kubinka, you will see the way out from the platform and you should go upstairs then turn to the left, go downstairs till you notice taxi standing near Kubinka's railway station entrance or somewhere around. Then it would be necessary to take local taxi, because the Museum is situated a bit far from the railway station (average price - 200-250 roubles). Just ask a driver to bring you to the Tank Museum.
