Jai Vilas Palace Museum, Madhya Pradesh, India
4.0 (428 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #4 in Gwalior District Speciality Museums
Costly Kings place
Jai Vilas Palace is the place where Scindia king used to reside. It is between Gwalior city. We have used Gmaps to reach here which was showing 5Kms from fort but somehow the google maps made us to roam inside narrow market and then we reached at gate of this palace just to know that entry is from other end. There is no board anywhere which can direct your rightly to this palace, We reached other gate by asking locals. There is good amount of parking for Rs.50 per car. The palace is clean and as its private property is maintained very well. The entrance fees are shockingly high which are Rs.300 per person. One has to deposit his bags and purses in lockers and take keys with him. The palace is now royal museum where the important things to note is Train on dinning table, Silver buggie and huge chandeliers. Rest of the things are same which you can see in any other kings palace.

Place of the current King
shrewdness and rudeness, 2 things you absorb from the staff posted there, you're exorbitantly charged for visiting this Palace cum museum imagine INR 300 per person.. staff is such rude that you can absorb their sarcasm right from parking to the internal area. What bothers to me is the INR 600/- given to them for such treatment?? we definitely deserve something better. Also, the current king along with their children doesn't reside here anymore as told by staff, have settled abroad. so just in case, if you wish to witness the finesse and taste of lost glory, can visit but stay ready for agitating staff behaviour.
