If there’s one thing that should be spoken about then it ought to be this massive giant wheel which stole the show completely with its aesthetic presence. The event even witnessed some of the best entertainers on the stage to make people laugh, sway, groove and be amazed. This non-stop entertainment along with a perfect blend of food and games did its magic and added a never ending smile on peoples face.

Let’s discuss about our favorite drink:

  • Kingfisher Ultra Lager Beer

As the carnival witnessed some amazing food vendors at the venue, a chilled beer was definitely the need of the hour. The king of #GoodTimes satisfied our taste buds and kept us going by adding the necessary fuel to our energy levels. The Kingfisher lounge was decorated with a colorful lighting and a huge number of people gathered together to drink their favourite beer. Types of beer included Kingfisher Ultra, Kingfisher Ultra Premium, Heineken and Kingfisher Draught. Every single sip of Kingfisher Lager beer helped us beat this scorching heat.


Overall Experience and Rating

Our team got a chance to experience Zomaland at its best. Special thanks to the King of #GoodTimes – Kingfisher for the invitation. The event took place at White Orchid Convention Center located near Manyata Tech Park in Bangalore. Friday turned out to be quite sad for “The Local Train” fans but it was eventually covered up with some spectacular events on Saturday and Sunday. Zomaland had a tie up with some extravagant food vendors which gave us a perfect momentum for the rest of the evening.  There was really great food & lip smacking cuisines right from sushi to salad. The photo booths made plenty of photo opportunities for everyone out there. The live music arena did light up our day followed by some stand up performances.  Kingfisher was definitely our saviour of the day.  The event altogether gave us an amazing vibe and was thoroughly enjoyed by our team members.

This italian dish coming right from their mighty small kitchen is just 12 inch in size and contains pizza sauce, american corn, green,red & yellow Capsicum, sliced jalapenos & green olives, grated mozarella cheese, italian seasonings and mixed herbs. Pizza just couldn’t get better than this.


Overall Experience and Rating

We were quite surprised looking at the varieties of games Smaaash had to offer. “Enough” was never a word for them. Starting from their amazing gaming attractions and covering most of their virtual reality stunts, our day couldn’t be an ordinary one. Vertigo was one of their best virtual reality game. We were in a dilemma when we had to cover all the games within a day. Without putting a hold on our enthusiasm, we covered most of their thrilling virtual reality games including Dinocoaster, Fingercoaster, Flymax, Vertigo & Magic carpet. Smaaash cricket, twilight bowling & super keeper are their unique selling point. One can just redefine “Happiness” playing these games throughout the day. The Ferrari Emulator is definitely something which you shouldn’t miss out. Apart from their offerings in gaming arena, they have a mighty small cafe inside serving the best of their signature cocktails and some scrumptious food items. Smaaash is blessed with a courteous staff and gains an overwhelming response from their customers. “Age” would just be a number if you happen to be here.

We had a wonderful stay for 1 night 2 days during which we tasted almost each and every food item from their amazing brunch menu. With myriad Asian, Italian and Indian cuisines to please our palate and thrilling activities like radio controlled plane flying, archery, water zorbing as well as cake mixing and beer games, our trip was definitely a memorable one.They had organized a grand cocktail party in the evening for all the bloggers which came to us as a surprise.Their Brunch Menu was totally exceptional and there was no quality compromise in any of the food items served.We couldn’t enjoy the thrilling rides in Imagica park since it was not a part of our itinerary. Other activities like water zorbing,archery & snow world are never to be missed.
