The feel of the place
Why take the kids here?
Blades of Glory in Sahakar Nagar brings cricket history close through signed bats, jerseys, balls and equipment connected with famous players. A child who knows a favourite batter or follows a World Cup has an immediate way into the collection. It is a memorabilia museum, so plan for looking, listening and comparing objects rather than a batting session. Choose a few player stories and leave time to ask the guide about the object that most interests your child.
Which ages it suits
Best for children interested in cricket or sport stories; younger children may prefer a short selection of exhibits. Under-two free entry does not imply toddler play facilities.
A 60–90 minute family route through Blades of Glory
- Find Apartment C, confirm access and pay the tax-inclusive admission.
- Begin with one favourite player and ask about a guided explanation.
- Compare a World Cup object with something from the women’s cricket section.
- Choose one final story, then leave time for a snack outside the gallery.
From the parent perspective
Taking children to Blades of Glory: make the objects meaningful
Sport knowledge helps, but a thoughtful short route can work without knowing every record.
Choose stories over statistics
Ask how an item was used and why it matters. A clear explanation of one bat can be more memorable than reading every score.
Check the third-floor arrival
Call ahead if stairs or a stroller affect the plan. Confirm the lift and entrance route, and allow time to find the correct building.
Start with a cricketer your child already recognises
Give the collection a personal starting point: a favourite India player, a remembered match or a shirt number. Look for one object connected to that player, then ask what makes it different from equipment in a sports shop. Signed and match-used objects can lead to conversations about provenance, practice and sporting achievement. Avoid promising that every famous name has a particular item on display; ask the museum team what can be seen on the day.
The World Cup zone connects teams, dates and signed bats
The museum describes a sequence of bats signed by World Cup-winning squads, beginning with the 1975 competition, alongside balls associated with major wicket milestones. A useful family activity is to locate a tournament someone remembers and compare the names with another era. Explain that a team’s signatures are part of the object’s story; children do not need to memorise a list of champions to enjoy the display.
Include the women’s cricket displays in the visit
The operator identifies a section of jerseys and memorabilia celebrating Indian women’s cricket. Make this part of the route rather than limiting the visit to the most familiar men’s players. Ask your child which skills batting, bowling and fielding require, then use a label or guide’s explanation to connect an object to an athlete. Expansion plans on the museum website should not be taken as confirmation of additional completed rooms.
Blades of Glory is a collection visit, not cricket coaching
Bats, clothing and historical sporting objects are the focus. A museum ticket does not establish access to a practice net, simulator or match. For a younger visitor, choose three objects and a short story for each; for a keen fan, leave more time for the player and tournament sections. Ask permission before touching anything, and check the current photography rules rather than assuming every case can be photographed.
Blades of Glory family admission: add GST to the headline price
At the operator’s ₹200 base rate, two adults and two children aged two or older cost ₹800 before GST. Two adults, one paying child and an under-two child cost ₹600 before GST. No separate school-child concession is stated on the checked public tariff. Ask for the final payable amount before travelling; a booking platform’s generic all-ages ticket label does not override the operator’s under-two exemption.

Plan a guided explanation without assuming an instant tour
Visitor reviews on the booking platform particularly mention the guide’s stories. That is useful evidence of what can make the visit engaging, but it does not establish a fixed tour start, language or inclusion for every arrival. Ask about the next explanation session and whether it suits your child’s language. The platform’s nine-hour duration matches the opening window; it is not a sensible required visit length.
Find the Sahakar Nagar building and confirm third-floor access
Use Govind Gaurav Apartment C and Swanand Society Lane 1 in the map rather than a broad Parvati-area pin. The museum is on the third floor. If a stroller, wheelchair or limited stair tolerance affects the outing, phone 9822454567 to verify lift operation and the complete entrance route. A general facility icon on a booking page cannot confirm a step-free path from the vehicle to every gallery.

Finish with one cricket story, then take a proper break
At the end, ask each person to choose one object they would explain to a friend. This helps a child process the collection without turning the visit into a quiz. Plan food outside the exhibition route and confirm current food, water and bag rules with staff. Avoid squeezing the visit between two rigid bookings; a small delay matters less when the family has time for a calm departure.

Questions parents ask
What does Blades of Glory Cricket Museum cost for a family of four?
Four paying visitors cost ₹800 before GST at the official ₹200-per-person base rate. Ask the museum for the final tax-inclusive total.
Does a toddler need a Blades of Glory ticket?
The official visit page gives free entry to children under two. From age two, no separate lower child rate is published on that page.
Can we pay by credit card at the museum counter?
The operator currently lists cash and UPI only. Do not rely on a credit-card payment at the counter.
Is Blades of Glory open on Mondays?
Yes, the official page says all seven days, 10 am–7 pm. Confirm special closures and last entry for your date.
Can children bat or use a cricket simulator here?
The verified experience is a memorabilia collection. A batting session or simulator is not included in the confirmed visit details.
Does the museum include women’s cricket?
Yes. The operator describes jerseys and memorabilia connected with Indian women’s cricket, alongside its other player and tournament sections.
Are guided tours guaranteed when we arrive?
No fixed arrival schedule or language entitlement was established. Visitor reviews praise explanations, so ask the museum about the next suitable session.
Is the museum suitable for a child who is new to cricket?
It can work with a short route: choose a bat, a jersey and a ball, and explain the job each plays. A child expecting active play may prefer a different outing.
Where is Blades of Glory inside Sahakar Nagar?
It is on the third floor of Govind Gaurav Apartment C, Swanand Society Lane 1, Sahakar Nagar 2. Confirm the lift and entrance route if mobility matters.
Should we allow nine hours because the booking platform says that?
No. Nine hours is the daily opening span. An editorial allowance of roughly 60–90 minutes is more useful for a selective family visit.
