The monument at the Ninth Fort (Devintojo Forto Statula) is a Soviet-era memorial to the estimated 30,000 Jews and 20,000 other persons who were murdered here during the Holocaust. The statue by artist A. Ambraziunas stands about 105 feet high and 300 feet wide and was unveiled in 1984. The Ninth Fort had previously been used as a prison before World War II and was also used as a KGB interrogation prison and as a place to keep political prisoners before sending them to Siberia. Such a sad place.Pay extra for the English-speaking guide. If the English-speaking guide isn't available, the German-speaking guide actually also speaks English.Go early in the day to give yourself enough time to see the place properly.

During our visit to Lithuania it was recommended that we pay a visit to Ninth Fort. We chose to arrive by taxi as we weren't sure of bus routes.It was a cold and overcast day but seemed to fit the feel of the site. The sculpture itself is amazing. You can spend quite some time looking at it and identifying faces and fists carved into the framework. We walked around the outside of the fort before paying just over €2 each to enter the museum. We also paid €2.80 for an English speaking guide to take us around the inside of the fort. You cannot enter the fort without a guide so I would definitely recommend the small fee. As much as it was very sad to hear of the dreadful suffering at the Ninth Fort I would say it is important to visit this site to keep these memories alive.

I used live next to this place and visited so many times. Very worth to go inside the museum and tunnels with guide. Outside monuments are on a list of the most strange buildings created by Russians sculptors.

We took a taxi from our hotel in the city centre to get here, as the bus journey looked slightly complicated.Upon arrival, I asked not once - but twice - for an English tour guide and paid for our tickets. We entered the first museum, which was interesting and took us less than an hour to see what we wanted to.At this point, I wondered when our English tour would commence. When I enquired, we were shown in the direction of the actual fort. Upon arrival there, we we advised that we had not paid for a guide after all and any case "everything on display was also in English". I offered to return to the main entrance to pay for a guide (which would have only taken a few minutes), but the body language of the staff implied that they really weren't that interested in providing the tour (at least in English), with comments like "the tour can last two hours and it's cold". I suspect that this was because we were virtually the only visitors there.So, we continued our visit unaided and - surprise, surprise - only some of the information on display had English translation. However, what we saw was interesting and worth the visit.

We had a wonderful time here on a snowy, low visability sunday. The architecture is great, especially with a ton of snow on it. Wrap up warm though, after 2 hours it's a bit bone chilling! We hired the English speaking tour guide [I'm not sure of his name but he was tall with sandy blonde hair] and he was amazing. Amazing English skills, without him we wouldn't have learnt very much at all so we recommend it- it was around 13 Euros for our enterance and the guide and we were there for probably over 3 hours in total. We got a taxi from the Old Town after being unsuccessful with bus 23 (which never showed up). The taxi cost 7 euro. The fort is very photogenic so take a camera or phone etc. After the tour we were a little worried about getting back to the Old Town but the guide checked the bus times for us on his phone and realised there wasn't a bus for 2 hours [a sunday!] so he called us a taxi which also cost us 7 euro. Really interesting for those who love history and especially WWII. The museum is ok, we learnt something though the guide says it's not great. The fort itself is great which some really random exhibits. Because we had the guide we were allowed in the tunnels underneath [worth paying around 3 euros more for). A really interesting chapter in Kaunas' history. Would highly recommend.

I was told wrongly in the tourist information that it was open on Monday and I went there :/ take bus 23 or 35, go until the 3rd last stop (after a short passage of the motorway). Cross the street and then use stairs to pass the motorway. You will see the huge monument so you recognise it.

Very moving and Amazing, a must visit but go by cab and not bus, approx €30 return. The bus is a little complicated

Museum and unusual park in one place. If not interested in WWII or holocoust, you can have a nice walk with breathtaking view to Kaunas. Pictures looks great too!

You can't visit Kaunas without going to the Ninth Fort. Take the 57 taxi bus from the city centre and then walk the last 5 mins. We paid for an English speaking guide £2.50 extra. This was well worth it. There is a very good memorial centre at the beginning. You then walk up to the fort itself, which is fully intact. The fort has a varied history including being used as a fort, a prison and concentration camp where 50000 people lost their lives. Honestly this is a must visit.
