    An interesting historical monument
    If you've got some time to spare in Amritsar, this historic monument is well worth a visit. It commemorates the deaths of many hundreds of Indians at the hands of the British seeking to prevent independence. You can see the bullet holes on the walls.

    A place to understand about our freedom
    The place is where there a massacre of innocent Indians happened by the British. Now the place has been transformed into a museum. It gives you chills when you listen to the stories and all. The place has been made into a live museum with a number of halls. The work of art in museum is great. Too much effort has been gone there. Must visit if you are in Amritsar

    A very sad and historical place
    I went here twice in a day, first during daylight to read and see the well laid chronological storyline and the preserved memorabilia and then in the evening, to watch the light and sound show. Both were free of charge. It is an extremely informative and heart-wrenching story detailing the atrocities faced by the Punjabis leading to the mass massacre at Jallian wala bagh. The entrance is marked by a statue of strength in white stone

A park, museum, a memorial all in one.
It's free to enter, the museum parts are light-touch but do a good job at explaining the events that led up to the massacre and the massacre itself.

You enter, see the galleries/halls, see the well where people jumped into, see bullet-holed walls, and a monument to the dead.

It's probably not really for kids (some of the museum's galleries), but despite the solemn nature of the park, there are still a lot of families having a day out there taking pictures.

The Jallianwala Bagh is a free to enter site. It has many small galleries explaining the horrific incident which occurred during British rule. The place is well maintained and there is a light show everyday in the evening around 6pm.

This is a lovely place to visit free of charge and details the massacre of Jallianwala Bagh. The indoor exhibits are good are let down by poor projections which could be better if it was projection mapping. Also security staff use their whistle instead of leaving their chair to deal with any visitors. It can get hot outside but there is plenty of shelter. Its surprising to see that before during and after the massacre the authorities passed laws to control people, controlled the press, controlled the meeting up of people and had trials without legal judiciary!

A park with a sad past. You can relax here. If there is no guide, you might feel a bit confused.
The weather was nice in February, but I recommend going during the cooler hours during the hot season.
Apparently it was renovated during the COVID-19 closure, and it was beautiful.

A simple, quiet place that feels very respectful. The monument itself is a fitting tribute and is surrounded by beautiful and well kept gardens that have been well thought out and cared for. Best to go with a guide or read up beforehand so you are fully aware of the significance of this.

Jallianwala bagh is a must visit for everyone. The place has so much of history and personally for me it was a very emotional moment while being there and going through the details depicted in the different galleries of what ppl went through at this place.
The place is very well maintained. There is a sound and light show in the evening which is worth a watch.
For children it is a worth visiting place to connect them to our history.

Take children along to visit. Its a lesson in history and this generation must know what it takes to seek independence from the colonists. Though the trip alone to Bagh wont dissuade from migration to foreign lands yet every one must visit once.
Well maintained lawns though a bit more on cleanliness is required.

A trip to Jallianwala Bagh was top.on our Bucket list. But the extended renovation that it was undergoing delayed our plans. We finally managed to fulfill our plans this month.

Since we had not visited the place prior to its renovation it is not possible to compare the present layout with its previous version.

The deathly well which consumed hundreds of innocents who jumped into it to escape the bullets has been given a glass wall around its compound. The walls which bear the bullet marks of that evening have also been barricaded.

In addition to these brick and mortar memories, digital memories in the form of photos, videos and movies are also on display which enhance the emotions associated with this hallowed site. A corner depicting the history of Punjab is displayed.

The narrow alleyway leading to the Bagh has been inscribed with Murals depicting the famous leaders of that era as well as events of that unfortunate afternoon.

However, the washrooms leave a lot to be desired less due to the efforts of the goverment species and more due to the apathy of the visitors.

A visit to the memorial does not leave you satisfied or thrilled. It is not meant to be so. The place is soaked with the blood of atleast a thousand men, women and children as young as a few months.

That is why it was distressing to note the casual attitude with which some of the visitors were clicking selfies with the well or the puckered walks as background.

This garden is a mute testimony not just of our long and eponymous freedom struggle but also of the unfathomable savagery that can exist within humans when absolute power is in their hands and heads.

The place is right on the way to the Golden Temple so it can be planned together with Golden Temple if one plans to visit the temple in day time.

Its a good place, and there is well maintained garden around the memorial. When you read and see the exhibits in the museum you go back to the part of the colonial history that you would like to change if had the power to.
