Dakshina Chitra Museum
You might wanna check the schedule for cultural performances before you go. They can be a highlight, and I nearly missed one because I didn’t know!
Be prepared for the weather! I thought I'd be fine in the afternoon, but it got real hot. A hat and sunscreen are a good idea.
While the museum isn't very expensive, consider bringing your own snacks and water. I found the food options pricey and limited.
The Government Museum
I recommend checking out the Natural History section; it’s fascinating and often overlooked! You might spend a good chunk of your time here just enjoying the exhibits
My advice is to explore the museum shops. They have some unique souvenirs that are pretty affordable and make great gifts!
Bring a water bottle! There aren’t many places to grab a drink nearby, and you’ll want to stay hydrated while exploring.
Chennai Rail Museum
I recommend spending at least 2-3 hours there to really enjoy everything. We rushed through and missed some cool stuff. Plan for a lazy afternoon!
Mayong Assam
If you're planning to buy souvenirs, check out the local markets first. They're usually cheaper than what you'll find in the museums. I didn't, and I regretted it!
