Metropolis at Metrotown is the largest shopping mall in British Columbia and the 2nd largest in all of Canada. Formerly known as Metrotown Center this mall is the home to over 380 stores and services.

Extremely convenient to public transit, it located adjacent to Metrotown SkyTrain Station on the Expo line and is also the location of the Metrotown Transit Exchange one of the largest bus loops in Burnaby. Metrotown Mall first opened in 1986, the same year that Vancouver's first SkyTrain opened. The SkyTrain Station proved to be a major catalyst for development in the area and the entire surrounding neighborhood has come to be called Metrotown.

Major stores at Metropolis include Sears, The Bay, Winners HomeSense, Home Outfitters, Chapters, Zara, Real Canadian Superstore, T & T Supermarket, and a Famous Players SilverCity Theatre. The mall's Food Court is the largest in Western Canada.

Metropolis at Metrotown is also right next to Station Square which features an additional 35 stores including Best Buy, Save-On-Foods and Famous Players Theatres (Most stores and the cinema at Station Square are currently closed to to a major expansion project that is taking place through 2013) as well as Crystal Mall, an Asian themed Mall with another 200 stores resulting in a mega shopping district of over 600 stores. There is also a Holiday Inn Express Hotel at the Mall offering moderately priced accommodations just steps from SkyTrain and a major bus loop.

5 Star Rating I love shopping at Metrotown with the variety of stores but parking can be a hassle- especially surface area parking. My favourite lot is near Walmart. Metropolis is clean and has such a wide variety of stores, including Superstore, Indigo, Apple. I liked how the atrium had a big lunar new year display. Lots of sitting areas and nicely laid out. There’s a big food court that keeps expanding as well. There are medical offices located in Metropolis as well on the highest level.

2 Star Rating Almost a month and it's not fixed !!! They should especially due to the fact it is the one close to the Superstore. I have seen many seniors struggling to roll the cart up. Even Superstore doesn't care to make sure they have a stack of carts available at the top. And, it goes out of order pretty quick.

2 Star Rating Locks aren't working on some of the women's washroom stalls by the food court. Need improvements on the directional maps throughout the mall. No hard copy maps are available at any of them, the QR code leads you to the Metrotown website but that is a dead end, you need to know specifically what store you are looking for, if you try to go back to the main site, you are met with a blank page. The only option I had was to google Metrotown and try to fumble through. All I wanted was to find daisies and the body shop and it took forever to find Daisos and I never did find the Body Shop. Frustrating and disappointing. I was surprised that there wasn't more decorations, although what they did have was wonderful. I had lunch at McDonald's and it was superior in their customer service, they were on game. The lobby was clean, spacious and well maintained. Thanks McDonald's for making my experience great.
