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.

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!

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!

My advice is to wear comfy shoes. The museum is bigger than it looks, and you'll be walking around a lot. I regretted my choice of shoes halfway through!

Check out the food options nearby before you head in. There are some cute little cafes around that serve tasty snacks. Grab a bite after, so you're not rushed inside.

Don't miss the hands-on science exhibits - they’re super fun! I found myself spending more time there than I expected. Makes the trip worthwhile.

I recommend visiting on a weekday to avoid the weekend crowds, especially if you want a more relaxed experience. Monday to Thursday are usually quieter.

I recommend visiting on a weekday, especially around 10 AM. It’s way less crowded, and you can really soak in the history without being rushed.

Make sure to check out the small cafe there. The prices are super reasonable, and I think the chaa is simply delightful. A perfect way to relax!

Bring cash! Some stalls nearby only accept cash, so don’t miss out on trying those delicious local snacks after your visit.

Look out for visitor discounts or combo tickets if you’re planning to visit other Kolkata attractions. It helped me save a bit!

Take your time in the toy section! I rushed through it, but it’s one of the most fun parts. So, give yourself at least an hour to explore.

My advice is to grab a snack from the small cafe there since it has some cute tram-themed items. It’s a cozy spot and you can rest your feet while enjoying something local.

I suggest checking out the tram exhibits on the second floor first; they’re less crowded and you can get some great pics without others getting in the way.
