VMRDA INS Kursura Submarine Museum

The VMRDA INS Kursura Submarine Museum is a unique attraction located on the Ramakrishna Beach in Visakhapatnam, India. It is housed inside INS Kursura (S20), a retired Indian Navy submarine, which has been converted into a museum. This one-of-a-kind museum offers visitors a rare glimpse into the life of submariners and the intricacies of submarine operations. Exhibits include various parts of the submarine, equipment, and artifacts related to its service history. The museum serves as a tribute to the maritime heritage of India and provides an educational and fascinating experience for all ages.

Earlier I wrote review on this. It's worth visiting this place especially with kids. Opposite to submarine there is war plane. You can take tickets for both the places at submarine ticket counter. Kids will enjoy a lot.

Beautiful! It's really worth a look. It truly lets one understand how our Sailors spent their days in these minuscule spaces to protect us from our adversaries.
The other is the Sea Harrier Museum which again allows one to see the famous Sea Harrier, Vertical Take Off / Landing Aircraft at close quarters.
It's definitely a must visit place if one is in Vishakapatnam.

The perfect experience I gathered at only Rs 50. A submarine which I saw mostly in movies, I touched and lived with it. People said that it was used during the Pak- India 1971 war and it made us proud by kicking out Pak in a sea fight. One should visit and feel the same joys which are available till today. Kudos to the government who made it available for the general people and Thanks a lot.

Good to be there last week. One of the oldest submarines. Must visit. Could not take pictures inside because they're not allowing but a good experience.

It’s just amazing and a must if you are in Vizag. It’s open from 2:00 - 8:00 and one needs to plan in advance since there is a long queue to go inside the museum. It can take Upto 40-50 min waiting time on weekends. If you go around 3:00-4:00 waiting time will be a bit less.
There are 3 museums, Submarine, Sea Harrier, Aircraft Museum. You can buy an integrated ticket for all 3 if you want. Aircraft Museum is also very good and you can combine Submarine and Aircraft Museum. There is not much waiting time at aircraft museum.

Visited on weekday . First time seeing inside su mai. We can pass slowly by each compartment so that we will get know the how submarine will work and how they survive and how they will attack and how they will escape . Each and every part clearly mentioned over there . It will take max 1 hour to complete everything.

amazing place to visit in visakhapatnam. We were amazed to see the engineering marvel with our bare eyes. By visiting this place, u can feel the hard life inside the deep sea water.
Strongly recommended.....

Exploring this engineering wonder was amazing. You can truly appreciate its complexity when you go inside.

Inside, you'll find life-sized statues of the crew, showing their daily routines, rooms, and offices. It was a great opportunity to learn about the hard work of our Bharat Navy.

This museum shows internal of the submarine. You can enter the submarine and see all the sections like torpedo bay, kitchen, sailors quarters, sonar section, engines etc. it was a very good experience visiting the submarine museum in Vizag. Ticket costs 70/- for adults and 40/- for kids above 10 years.

It's very good for exploring one of the old Naval Submarine and it's very long with 7 different compartments in 2 floors. It's very amazing. I must recommend visiting this place in Vizag....❤

Submarine on Land. One can see the inner details of submarines and experience the life of the captain and his crew. Tickets are very cheap, and can be integrated with the Aircraft Museum. Need to allow cameras for recording or taking pictures in the Submarine

Buy a ticket that's combo for the three museums and save money. The submarine is really good with ac inside. The museums as well are very neatly maintained.

This is for the people who want to experience the submarine and interested in knowing about the defence establishment of the country. A submarine used years back by our naval command gives a glimpse of the mechanism, functioning and internal appearance.

A must watch if you are in vizag... completely mesmerizing...This submarine was first used in 1969... The ticket price is 70 rs for adults...

It's a beautiful place that one can explore near R.K. Beach, Vishakhapatnam
Especially if you're an enthusiast of Indian Defence Forces and Naval Engineering Knowledge you should definitely give it a visit.

It is worth visiting... We witnessed the 1970s machinery spaces and got to know that previously retired Indian Navy personnel used to brief visitors about the INS KURSURA Submarine and its historic contribution in the Indo-Pak war.

INS Kurusura served the Indian Navy for 31 years and then it was decommissioned and turned into a museum in 2001. With a length of 91.3 meters and breadth of 8 meters

An important place in Vizag for family and friends to visit kursura. It is an educational place for children

I went inside and tried to feel that time how a working officer's life is spent inside a submarine.

the INS Kurusura submarine played a vital role in a number of wars including the 1971 Indo-Pak war.INS Kurusura is a submarine constructed by Russians in the year 1969. It reached Vizag in 1970 via the Baltic Sea and since then served the Indian Navy.

Upi payment available at counter,
50 /- more for camera 📷

It was a little bit crowded when I have visited this place.. Very esay to go and easily accessible to anyone else... Really want to thank government of AP for such a great thought of making a live submarine Kursura to Kursura Submarine museum and also for it's proper downstream maintenance... Still it has the live smell of machine, oil etc....

Nice museum to have an experience of submarine and aircraft. Take the combo ticket for both submarine and aircraft place on the opposite of the road.

This submarine museum is situated on R K beach near the war memorial in Visakhapatnam.Its a must visit to know about the deterrent capacity of our Indian Navy.
Nice place to know about how our naval forces operate ,live,eat within small cabins for us.
