Nice memorial for our bravehearts, hosted by southern command of the army. Sound and light show happens in weekend evening (not sure about weekdays). Must visit with children to pay homage and respect for those who sacrificed their lives for safeguarding us

National pride, in case you have respect for country and Armed forces you should visit this place. Very informative specially for the young children. You get to see so many interesting things about wars and Defence forces. This place is very well maintained and give you feel of patriotism. Parking is available and light and sound show is conducted in the evening. Snacks corner is also available. You can buy souvenirs from souvenirs shop. Overall good experience.

I visited today because I really wanted to. The war memorial is closed till 31 March. So I just could view the memorial from outside. For the same reason, I could not see the museum which is nearby. Maybe,some other day I will drop in and have a look for myself.

This place is a must-visit place especially during the weekend when they hold light and sound show in the evenings. The place is well maintained with courteous staff and the visit raises the national feeling. There is a tea shop, a souvenir shop located inside. One should not miss the paintball shooting and the wreath-laying ceremony. They have a nominated parking.

I visited there with my family on Saturday evening. It was quite a cherishing moment for me. In the museum there is a collection of all the events happened with the Indian army. At 5.30 PM, there was a parade, they paid homage to the martyrs and furled the flags. At 6.45 PM, there was a laser show about the history of southern command and its role in establishing peace.

Not very far from Pune railway station. I would suggest booking a Cab(Ola or uber ) or Ola auto.
Autos mostly don’t charge as per meter. In general suggestion is to book cabs or Ola auto. Surprisingly cabs are usually economi( in Pune) compared to fares demanded by auto rickshaw.

No prior permission required. Just arrive and hope that no ceremonial parade process is going on which is due to certain occasions like historical war days to commemorate participation of India like Kargil war, 1971 war etc and also visit of some high defence dignitary to this military station...any camera is allowed...just maintain site decorum and avoid pointing camera towards defence installations as a security tip...
