Innovative film city bangalore - timings, must see items, review and tips

Innovative Film City Bidadi Bangalore (Disneyland kind of amusement park, but not so perfect mega constructions)


Verdict: Good to go with children for a day outing, as they will enjoy a lot.Also good enough of you have a family or team outing planned.
Note: They have a good reception desk so that you can manage an unplanned trip there. But you are recommended to book early and go there. Also, plan to be there early in the morning by 9.30 a.m. Take tickets and collect the Site Plan so that you could see the Must See Items early, before the crowd catches up! 


Must See  Items

• Cartoon city Amusement rides(DoubleDecker, Rollercoaster(above 5 years),

Have a fun day outing from Bangalore!

Wayanad trip from Bangalore

Bangalore - Mysore - Nanjangund - Gundalupet - Muthanga - Sultan Bathery - Kalpetta -Calicut route:


Travel time and traffiic
Important thing to note is that forest checkpost in Karnataka after Gundalupet and before Kerala border, will be closed at 9.00p.m and opens at 6.00a.m for traffic. You need to safely plan some 1 hour buffer, considering long traffic blocks in muthanga checkpost in Kerala, wayanad hair pins, bangalore/mysore city traffic etc.


Plan 1 to 1.5 hours to cross Bangalore city in peak traffic times and during rains.You could save much of time if you travel early morning from Bangalore.When you return to Bangalore, again be prepared for slow moving traffic from Bidadi/Kengeri to MGRoad, incase you need to touch the city.


Road Condition and Safe Driving tips
Bangalore to Mysore road is beautifully done, but be warned of the sudden and umpteen 'bumps and illegal cross roads' made by local villagers, where you could see a bullock cart suddenly infront of your vehicle from nowhere! Also, with good roads when you take speed, almost be certain that there will be a bump waiting for you! So, this is one good road where ABS , DISC brakes etc comes to your rescue! In general. this is one road you could also achieve maximum mileage, if you travel in top gear less than 80kms.


Road from Mysore till Nanjangud is very crowded and mostly patched.Then there are some stretches through the forest and border, especially Muthanga checkpost where road is patchy.
