Celebrate your special day and make your desires true
A birthday at Ramoji Film City can be a small family lunch at a hotel or a big themed party on a film set. The film city's events team handles venues, decoration, food and entertainment, so parents can enjoy the day instead of running around. This guide lists the main party venues, how planning works and tips to keep the budget and the day under control.
Why celebrate a birthday at Ramoji Film City
- Many ready settings: gardens, fountains, film sets and hotel halls.
- Themed decoration and props available on request.
- In-house catering with Indian, Chinese and continental menus.
- Guests can also enjoy the studio tour, rides and shows on the same day.
- Hotels on site for families travelling from other cities.
Pick a venue based on the age of the birthday person, the size of the guest list and the time of day. Children's venues work best in daylight, while gardens and fountains look their best after sunset with lights.
Party venues to choose from
Fundustan
The children's play area is the natural choice for kids aged about 2 to 10. Games and cartoon-style surroundings keep small guests busy.
Sahas adventure zone
For older children and teenagers who like physical games, a party near Sahas can include group activities such as zorbing and obstacle courses.
Gardens and fountains
Open lawns suit large guest lists and evening parties with lights. Sun Fountain and the Mughal Garden are the most requested spots.
Sitara Hotel
The luxury hotel has banquet halls that work well for a planned party with a moderate guest list, especially if the weather is hot or rainy.
Tara Hotel
A comfort-class hotel with party halls, suited to themed indoor parties with music and dance.
Baahubali set
Children who love the films can celebrate against the Mahishmati palace backdrop, dressed as their favourite characters.
Bird park
A calm setting with birds and water, suited to a small family gathering and daytime photos.
Custom theme sets
The events team can build a set around a popular theme such as superheroes, fairy tales or cartoon characters, subject to cost and time.
Party ideas by age
- First birthday and toddlers: a hotel hall with soft decoration, a short cake-cutting and a family lunch. Keep it indoors and quiet.
- Ages 4 to 10: a Fundustan or cartoon-theme party with games, a magician and return gifts.
- Teenagers: an adventure party at Sahas followed by pizza or a buffet, or a Bollywood-style DJ evening.
- Adults and milestone birthdays: a garden dinner with lights and live music, or a stay with a surprise evening event.

How planning works
- Share basics: date, age of the birthday child, number of guests and budget.
- Pick a venue: indoor hall or outdoor garden or set.
- Choose a theme: decoration, cake design, costumes and props.
- Fix the menu: kids' menu and adult menu, veg and non-veg.
- Add extras: DJ, magician, photographer, return gifts.
- Plan guest travel: group bus from the city and hotel rooms if needed.
Costs depend on venue, guest count, menu and decoration, so Ramoji shares a quote after these details are fixed. Outside caterers and outside food are not allowed, except food for infants.
Budget tips
- Weekday parties usually cost less than weekend ones.
- A hotel hall with simple decoration is cheaper than building a custom set.
- Choose a fixed buffet menu instead of many live counters.
- Combine the party with day tickets for close family only, not every guest.
Getting guests there
Ramoji Film City is on the Vijayawada highway, and many guests will not know the way. Hire a group bus from a central point in the city, share a map pin in the invitation, and give a clear reporting time. For guests coming from other cities, arrange a stay the night before.
Tips for a smooth party
- Book at least three to four weeks ahead, and earlier for weekends and holidays.
- Choose evening timings in summer and lunch timings in winter.
- Keep the party to two or three hours so small children do not get tired.
- If guests also want the studio tour, buy their day tickets in advance.
- Arrange group transport; the film city is about 30 km from central Hyderabad.

Frequently asked questions
Can we celebrate a child's birthday inside Ramoji Film City?
Yes. Ramoji's events team hosts birthday and anniversary parties at gardens, sets and hotel halls.
Do guests need a studio tour ticket?
Guests attending only a hotel event may not need one, but anyone visiting the sets, shows or rides needs a day ticket.
Can we bring our own cake or caterer?
Catering is in-house only. Ask the events team about bringing a cake from outside.
How early should we book a birthday party?
Three to four weeks ahead is usually enough for a weekday party. For weekends, school holidays and festive seasons, book at least a month or two in advance.
What is the best venue for a large guest list?
Open gardens handle large groups best. For 50 to 100 guests, a hotel banquet hall is easier to manage.
