Historical place ... Great views and all... There are numerous reviews already on this heritage site... BUT very difficult if you are or bringing someone on a wheelchair. I would give 0 out of 10 on accessibility. The authorities must do something to improve accessibility of the showcase site.

Its a very good place to visit. Maintenance of museum is not good. Maximum idols became very dirty. WB govt should take care of it. There is shop for food that is very bad. Maximum areas blocked for tourist. No arrangement for handicap peoples.

It is a memorial-cum-museum dedicated to queen Victoria. It is a beautiful marble building with a great garden. The museum has old paintings and books (some of them are hand written). The museum also has other items at display like old ammunitions. The museum has moderate number of items and is not a very big collection. It only takes about 20 mins to see the museum.The garden has a lake and a pond. The view is beautiful. One would see couples having their moments in the garden area.A must see place while at Kolkata.

The place is of historical importance and a must visit. You can surely go with your family and spend a good day at the large and beautiful garden along the pond of the memorial inside the boundary. The entry fee to the garden is 10/- andInside the memorial hall there is a museum and entry fee to that is 10/-. So the total fare per individual for entry and museum charges 20/- and for foreigners it is 200 INR.No photography charges but photography inside the museum is STRICTLY PROHIBITED.An individual can take pictures from outside.Pet is not allowed inside the park. There are sitting provisions inside the park and the place is children friendly.

The Victoria Memorial is located in the heart of Kolkata in West Bengal, India.This white marbled beauty, which can rightly be called the epitome of grace and elegance, was built in memory of Queen Victoria to celebrate her 25 years of rule over India.The Victoria Memorial is easily accessible by all means of transport. You can visit the place by taxi, bus or an auto rickshaw.Must visit. This place is good for couple . You can spent good time in garden.Photography is prohibited inside the main building but people are not following the rules. For those not interested in the visiting the galleries, there is a garden-only ticket option available. The details for it can be asked at the ticket counter.There are carriages available at the entrance of the Victoria Memorial for the visitors to enjoy a ride near the roundabout.hmm

If you plan to visit Kolkata this place should be in your must watch list. Built in 1906, this place was dedicated to Queen Victoria, but now is a museum. The white palace is elegant and a treat to the eyes. Gardens and the pebbled stones are well maintained. Though the water enclosures are mostly dirty.

“Another charming Taj”, “The finest building in Bengal”, and “A poem in marble” — are some of the literary tributes that have been paid to the Victoria Memorial, which overlooks the southern landscape of Kolkata. It is a gravely sinful act not to visit the Victoria Memorial when you are in the City of Joy.

Review №51

It is one of the well known monuments in India created by the British during their rule in India.The Victoria Memorial is a beautifully created museum which has various statues notably of Queen. Victoria, Lord Clive and also of many other historical personalities of the British rule.The monument compound is huge and has huge gardens which are very well maintained. The gardens today are mainly a couple hangout.The entry fee to this place is Rs 30. There is free toilets available. The toilets are well maintained but the condition varies on the kind of people who use it.Drinking water facilities are installed at multiple places inside the compound. There are no food vendors inside this place.

Very nice place to visit with family. Any one can feel close to nature in side the Ground. Separate entrance fees for roaming in d ground and inside the building for both national and international tourists. Located in between Park street and Esplaned Metro station. Better to take own food rather than buying from street vendors.

Nice place to visit with your family or your gf/bf. Couple can enjoy a peaceful and romantic time here. This is a safe place for everyone. Its also an historical place. You have to buy tickets to enter. There are two types of tickets.
