Absolutely loved visiting the Army Museum in Annadale. We trekked down from the Kali Bari temple for about an hour (it is a bit hectic but totally worth it for the views), and returned to the Mall Road lift by an Ola Cab! (pickup right in front of the musuem gate). Google still says that it temporarily closed because of covid but it is OPEN as of 28 March 2022. Note that the army museum remains closed on Monday.

Always Great to know about the ancient things any day and visit here was one such, had a great time apart from enjoying old information by relaxing at the ground side and leaving off after having a few snacks at the eatery located near the ground only.

Well maintained museum, gives an insight into how today's army evolved.

Very well maintained. Very clean and calm environment. You will definitely like it. Many posters, symbols, flags are displayed to showcase history. No entry ticket is needed. Just bring your ID card for entry. Small canteen is also there which is well maintained. If you are visiting shimla then worth visiting this place.

It's an honor to see the museum. You can feel that you are on the grounds of army campus. The museum has great collection of Army weapons, badges, uniforms, etc. The museum is well maintained by the Army officers. There is also a good canteen where you can have tea or coffee.

It's far from the Shimla city & through the forest. The view is great and the museum is very well maintained by the Army officers. It holds a Great collection of Army weapons, badges, uniforms, etc. It also has a greenhouse with interesting plants and a cafe. A perfect place to sit and relax. And don't forget to take a souvenir!

It’s an amazing place if you’re interested in army.. The museum is located at a beautiful location ? Also, when you go towards the back side of the museum which you obviously will if you follow the directions, there’s a helipad ? and the view is perfect ?❤️ Also you can find snacks over there to enjoy the view ?

This is an amazing place you must include in your Shimla Itinerary. The Museum Narrates Story of warfare and how on many instances Indian forces have proved their excellence in it. It displays weapons, tools, uniforms. It celebrates brave heroes. The place make you feel amazed as well as proud. It does have beautiful garden landscape, a glass house and children play area. You easily spend good 2-3 hrs here.

An heartwarming, inspiring, and eye-opening place that describes the whys, hows, whats, and wheres of the Indian military. The major coverage is on education of the visitors so you'd find many writeups to read, artefacts (flags, logos, medals, uniforms, etc) to see, historical records to appreciate, and lots of videos playing on TV screens to watch. It is a must go place for every Indian! Being maintained by the uniformed folks, the place is spotlessly clean, landscaping is beautiful, and all amenities are in place. The cafe offers good snacks at a reasonable price. The toilets are very clean. The lawns, statues, etc. are beautifully maintained. Read to know more about the historical battles the army fought in the various wars that India has been a part of. The help army provides during peaceful times is also well documented. Indian military's contribution to the UN peace-keeping missions is also given decent coverage. Photography is allowed so carry a good camera. I'd suggest giving this place a full day. If in a rush, do allocate at least half a day.

It's far from the Shimla city & through the forest. The view is great and the museum is very well maintained by the Army officers. It shows the history and purpose of the Indian army, loads of pictures and original items that make history more tangible.

VERY NICE...

Worth to see. Surrounded with Devdar trees. No ticket but Photo ID required. Spend some time to see museum in detail and understand the life of an army man. Most travel agents will not include in their itinerary. Cactus glass House is also beautiful

A well maintained museum with good information... No ticket required..... War machines like cannon, tanks, guns and many more are there.... Also visit the nursery with a very good collection of cactus..... Also can enjoy the breeze with tea/coffee minimal snacks... A very good informative place for kids....

We have visited this place, and it feels amazing with the views and atmosphere. There are about three to four rooms in the museum of Indian forces, their style, uniforms, arms, and many more. There is a shop where you may get some items that belong to the army as tokens. There is one small botanical garden with various plants.

Must see when you are in shimla. Along with army heritage the location is full of nature. It gives you the feel of real shimla full of forest and greenery. Entry is free. Monday closed.

Absolutely lovely place to explore. You can easily spend 4 hrs here if you're interested in indian military history. They have coming age VR tech to showcase Rocket launcher n IGLA and audiovisual on Kargil war. It's a must try. They have a nice golf course which feels like Switzerland in the woods. Cafe is also available. All in all quite a serene place to spend ur day and enhance knowledge.

One of the most picturesque place in Shimla to visit, So beautifully maintained and very supportive army staff. Preserves the history of Indian Army and defence forces. Highly recommended place to visit.

A good Heritage Museum overall. If you want to get entry you must show them the proper identification of yourself. The Museum is free of charge.

Great experience. It was a pleasure visiting this place. Enlightened us about the bravery and honour of the Indian Army.

Cozy museum space offering educational displays on national army history, with weapons & uniforms.

Must visit this beautiful place with your kids, let them know how our Heroes have sacrificed their lives for us. A beautiful and clean place, surrounded with devdar trees, will mesmerize you. This place (Annadale) is just at the bottom of the valley. You can get the history of Armed forces and all details about the fights, dress, equipments, soldier rank. It’s free of cost but required valid photo I'd to enter in the museum. Golf course is also there ... highly recommend.

After coming here, there was a different feeling after hearing the photos of the martyrs and their glory, there was a boil in the mind but there was also a sadness at the same time.If you are a true patriot then it is very important for you to come here. Jai Hind 🫡

Just loved the place .....they have so many heritage things over there......the museum will show our army history and so many much more things. & Canteen's food was soo good

The museum is overall great. Just that it's too much off the city and transportation is less in that area. Either take a cab and pay them 400-500 for those 2-3 kms or wait for the HRTC bus that arrives at 1-2 hrs gap here. As a museum the place is nice and explains vast history of Indian army ranging from pre-independence periods till date .
