The operator offers an Arise Awake exhibition and 3D presentation package, with a separate option adding a 4D virtual-reality presentation. Read the package description before paying. Different formats affect both the price and the suitability of the experience for individual visitors.
Move through the displays at a comfortable pace and use the supplied interpretation to follow the subject. Leave time to read rather than concentrating only on the presentation technology. A few carefully understood ideas can be more rewarding than rushing between screens.
The operator sets a minimum age of seven for the 4D virtual-reality film. Confirm its current session, eligibility and suitability directly before including it in a family plan. Choosing an exhibition package does not establish availability of every presentation at any arrival time.
The adult exhibition-plus-3D package is INR 40, with INR 30 for children aged three to twelve. Adding the 4D experience makes the published prices INR 50 and INR 40 respectively. School-group conditions are separate; ask the venue about the applicable arrangement.
Visits run 10 AM–12:30 PM and 3–7:15 PM, with Monday closure. Sunday evenings extend to 7:30 PM according to the operator. Plan around the midday break and confirm any special-day change before making a dedicated journey.
The operator reports an elevator serving the two floors and restrooms. Non-commercial phone photography is allowed inside the exhibition. Confirm any assistance you need in advance, and follow staff instructions around displays and presentation areas rather than blocking circulation.
