Metropolis at Metrotown Reviews

Whenever short of energy, visit Metrotown!
I bet you'll feel alive just by sitting across the street and watching people crossing the road, rushing to the SkyTrain, a good place to practice the art of observation.
And of course, shopping 🛍 without a doubt; even if not planned, be careful, as you might love some thing or other inside the mall.
There are always some thematic decorations going on in the central area.
Friendly people are around, and there are happy faces spending time at Metropolis.
Walmart is the center for groceries, pharmacy, cosmetics, food court, a kids' zone, gaming, and a happy time.
I used to get lost in the place when I was new in the city; always feel free to stop by and ask someone for the way if you do too 😉

It's still a good mall for enjoying shopping and food there. The location is perfect from anywhere of Greater Vancouver. There are lots of free parking too.
This is a one stop shopping that you can get most of anything that you want.
They always have some interesting decorations year round. The new decoration in May is pretty and they have a picture spot for Mother's Day.
But they may need to upgrade or pay more attention of their washrooms, especially the washrooms closed to T & T Supermarket.

MET is a big shopping centre with lots of parking (underground as well). Lots of shops… Also Japanese stores like Uniqlo, Muji and Daiso, etc. Big size food court along with regular shopping places as well. You can find big supermarket like Walmart, Superstore and T&T supermarket, etc
Highly recommended!

Metrotown is a huge mall, definitely worth checking out. If you can I would recommend taking transit as parking underground is a bit of a nightmare, but there is a skytrain station close by!
They always have something different in the main area of the mall which is fun to check out. Tons of stores and the mall is clean and maintained.
