This is one of those places which you surely don't wanna miss out. It not only brings you closer to the history of Calcutta but also reminds you of our country's past. This is one of those few remarkable things given by the Britisher's to India.
If you are interested in history like absolute history then you should actually go inside the museum. You have to give an entry fees for going inside the museum whose charges differ with an Indian visitor and foreign visitor. You won't find any guides there but there are maps located all over the area just in case you get lost.
If you like architecture then this particular building will definitely tell you about different types of architectural patterns such as British, Mughal, Islamic etc. which is surely gonna amaze you.
If you don't like history then also you won't get bored there and that's a promise as their is a garden(like a big one a really big one), a pond and you can find a chariot(or a tonga/tanga) for yourself over there and go for a ride you can also opt for horse riding.
I know some localites who regularly go outside the Victoria Memorial for morning or evening walks and also for sports activities such as frisbee or cricket as the environment is really good and cool(thanks to the greenery). This place is freaking amazing and clean.
you can find lots and lots of eatables right outside the garden but only hawkers which serve you the local food of kolkata like jhalmuri, puchka, bread chaat, ghoogni, soda's and stuff.
In short I can say only that this place is freaking awesome and cool and a must visit.
