Victoria memorial is undoubtedly the most sought tourist interest in Kolkata! They have two modes of entrance tickets here, one is only for Garden which costs Rs 20, and for the Garden along with museum it costs Rs 30, for foreign nationals from Bangladesh, Bhutan its costs around Rs 150, and for other countries it costs Rs 500. The lush green garden is very scenic and people usually spend lots of time in the garden and soak themselves in the midst of greenary. The museum has many antique items and currently it holds the historical details of our freedom fighters with special focus on Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. Museum is closed on Monday. It is totally wheelchair accessible area and they have a cafeteria as well for your lunch or snacks requirements. With the vivid scenary and marble decoration this place will definately make you feel awe with it's grand appearance.

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.

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.
