It's always an awesome experience visiting this place. Feels like have a very strong bond with this place. Always fills with motivation and inspiration after visiting. Love to roam around the place remembering the hard sacrifices by our countrymen and also feels pride and honour thinking about their service to the nation. One thing that has changed here is the visiting fees earlier it used to be free to visit,but now they are charging amount of 20rs. But it's worth is more than they are charging. Loves to stare the tricolour furling with pride along with flags of Indian army,Navy and Air force. If you are visiting this place atleast reserve your 2 hours of your life here and get dipped into a different world altogether watching awesome stuff and trying to understand different aspects regarding it. It is well maintained and beautifully structured.

Awesome place. A must visit during your visit to Pune. It is open from Morning 9 till 8 in the evening without a break. In the evening you have a light show as well. May need around 2 hours to see it completely..entry fee is 20 rs..

Wow! It punches, history, patriotism, defence and story - everything. I found even 2+ hrs time I spent to be less. Everything to be seen and understand and people are so courteous. Must visit for kids.

Paid a visit to the National war museum at Pune. It is well maintained and we get to see tributes right from Chola, Chatrapati Shivaji and Maharana Pratap to all the wars we have fought yet with different countries like Pak and China. Many military vehicles and MIG-23 with numerous tanks and weapons with ammunition are kept on display. The ticket is just 20Rs but you will come back knowing a lot about the Matreys and sacrifices by the Indian soldiers for the nation. A great place showcasing the historical importance of Indian Armies.

Have been living in Pune for more than 7 years and finally visited this place recently on a Saturday. The place was not much crowded and entry ticket is Rs 20. You’d need around 1-1.5 hours to see everything briefly and then 45 minutes to watch the light and sound show that happens around sunset time. That is something you cannot miss. I’m not sure if light and sound show happens everyday but it does on Saturday for sure. They have a big 5 channel sound system for the show (theatre like sound). Be here at around 5 so you have time to see museum, do the paintball activity and then watch the show.

A good place to learn about India's history and how the army played a role in shaping it. This is a wonderful place to visit for anyone who is interested in history and the Indian Army. There are various military equipments, mobile units, memorials of the fallen, and other informative depictions of the Army. There is a souvenir shop as well where you can buy items like coffee mug, keychain, t-shirts, pen stand, caps etc. There is a small canteen which serves tea/coffee, pop corns and ice cream. The entry ticket costs Rs 20/-

Very good place to Visit, it's very underated and many people are now aware of this place. But you will definitely love this Thanks, Soldiers statues, Rifles collection are amazing. Not so crowded Must visit.

It's been about two years since I last visited the National War Memorial. It's an awesome place! Incredible replicas and some real battle tanks on display. It even boasts of a paintball gun alley and a hostage rescue simulation(paintball gun again) which you can play with your friends or colleagues. The food available in the canteen is good but can be better. In case you are not punctual or suffer discipline issues like I do, please visit this place and watch the men and women perform their duties on time. Always. There are some light shows and a movie show as well which happen on some days(not sure how much changes have been made due to Covid 19). Please call and check so that you don't miss anything and plan accordingly. Thanks!
