Victoria Memorial

Don't skip the garden! It’s beautifully landscaped and a perfect spot to relax after exploring the museum inside.

Bring some water and snacks. I found the café a bit pricey and there weren’t many options nearby.

Plan your visit around the guided tours. I joined one by chance and it made the experience way more enriching than just wandering around alone.
Albert Hall Museum
Salar Jung Museum
Science City Kolkata

My advice is to bring your own snacks and water. The food options inside can be pricey and not that great, so packing a little picnic will save you some cash and keep your energy up!

If you're into science exhibits, don't miss the Space Gallery; it's super cool! But be sure to check out the timings for the shows, because they fill up fast, and you might have to wait.

Make sure to wear comfy shoes! There's a lot of walking involved, and some exhibits can be quite far from each other... Trust me, your feet will thank you at the end of the day!
INS Kursura

Bring some water with you, especially if you're visiting in the summer months. The heat can get intense, and staying hydrated is key!

I suggest visiting in the morning around 9 AM. It's much less crowded then and you'll get a peaceful experience while exploring the submarine.
Indian Museum

I think getting there early, around 10 AM, is a game changer. You can beat the crowds and really enjoy the exhibits without feeling rushed.

I suggest using a guidebook app on your phone to get insights about the exhibits. It saved me tons of time trying to figure out what to see next

Plan to spend at least 3-4 hours there. I thought I'd do it in 2 hours, but ended up rushing through some awesome displays I wish I’d taken time to enjoy.

My advice is to skip the cafeteria food. It's kinda pricey and not that great. There are awesome local eateries just around the corner to grab a bite!
Prince of Wales Museum
My advice is to wear comfy shoes... The museum is big and you might find yourself walking more than you expected! I ended up with sore feet by the end

If you're into photography, the museum’s architecture is beautiful! Just be mindful of the no flash rule. I missed some great shots because I didn't get the right angles!

I suggest visiting on a weekday, ideally around 10 AM. The crowds are smaller, and you can enjoy the exhibits without feeling rushed.

My advice is to bring a water bottle; there are limited places to grab a drink inside and it can get hot walking around.
Merangar Fort

Don't forget to take cash! Some smaller shops and stalls don't accept cards, and you'll want to grab some souvenirs.

I suggest bringing along some water and snacks. There are vendors but they can be hit or miss and sometimes a bit pricey for what you get.

Make sure to wear comfy shoes! You'll be walking a lot on uneven surfaces, and you'll want to enjoy every corner without aching feet.

Consider hiring an audio guide. I thought I could skip it, but once I started exploring, I wished I had all that historical context.
HAL Aerospace Museum

My advice is to take your own water bottle. There's not much available inside and you'll want to stay hydrated while checking out all the exhibits.

I suggest going on a weekday if you can, it's way less crowded and you can take your time exploring. Weekend visits can be a bit hectic.

I think bringing a decent camera is a smart move. The exhibits are super photogenic and it's a great way to remember your visit. Just don't be obnoxious with it.

I recommend starting with the indoor section first; it gets busier later in the day. The outdoor aircraft are cool but the indoor stuff is a must-see, especially the simulators!
Rail Museum

Make sure to check the timings for specific exhibits before you go. I missed the steam locomotive tour because I thought it was available all day!

My advice is to visit on a weekday if you can. It tends to be less crowded, which means more time to explore without feeling rushed.

I recommend spending time at the toy train exhibit... It's such a fun spot, and I almost missed it thinking it was for kids only!

I think bringing your own snacks can save you some money. The food options aren’t the cheapest, and packing a few treats can keep you energized while you explore!
