The Place is surrounded by nature and you will definitely enjoy your time spending out here. There is also a gallery where many things are restored during the Victorian era.The most disappointing thing is there is no facility to book tickets online. I have visited Jaipur & Delhi where every archaeological structure tickets are maintained by the archaeological survey of India but here we don't get that facility.

Fantastic light show! Lasts for about 45 mins and walks you through the history of Kolkata. The narration and the content is amazing. Of course, you'll find enthusiasts (read id10t$) recording the show instead of actually watching it live, thereby blocking your view while doing so. But that's a minor irritant. Highly recommended!

The Victoria Memorial at night is a mesmerizing spectacle that transforms the already stunning monument into a magical work of art. The soft illumination accentuates the intricate details of the architecture, creating a captivating play of light and shadow. The surrounding gardens take on a dreamlike quality, enhancing the overall enchantment. Visiting the Victoria Memorial after sunset offers a unique and romantic experience, with the monument bathed in a warm glow against the night sky. It's a must-see for anyone looking to appreciate the charm and elegance of this historical landmark in a different light, quite literally.

Victoria memorial is a one of the most famous historical place in World.Designed and architecture by William Emerson and Vincent Esch(1843 - 1924).The Victoria Memorial stands amidst beautiful gardens and features a large bronze statue of Queen Victoria. Inside, the museum displays a rich collection of artifacts, including paintings, sculptures, and historical items from the British Raj era. The light and sound show in the evenings adds a captivating touch, bringing history to life.

I was amazed by its beauty and grandeur. The entire white marble building stands in the middle of a lush green garden, surrounded by fountains and statues. The memorial has art galleries where one can see beautiful and old art pieces. They have displayed portraits, coins, pillars, arches and sculptures. You can also some of the personal belongings of Queen Victoria which were used by her. It is one of the landmark and signature locations of the City of Joy Kolkata. It is a must-visit place for all. It represents majestic British architecture. There is a huge park inside and it takes around 1.5 hours to visit the whole palace. One can spend time sitting in the park with the family and kids. The ticket price is 20₹ (keep a change) and weekdays are less crowded. Ticket Counter closed at 5 PM. There is availability of drinking water inside. In the evening, they also have a half an hour light show which starts at 6.30 pm and the ticket price is 100 per person. The ticket window opens at 6 p.m.

This memorial is architectural beauty. A must visit place if you are in your Kolkata trip. Beauty differs in day time and night time. Recommend going in the afternoon so that you can enjoy the beauty both in daylight and night time. I visited it after sunset. That time the perfectly placed lights made the memorial look even more mesmerizing but could not enjoy the greenery of front part lake. I visited in weekdays so did not notice any queue or waiting. But in weekends or public holidays more people visit this place.
