The Metrotown Mall is a vast and impressive mall with so many businesses to check out. Some of which I was pleasantly surprised to find there and at no other mall. I also like the giant space ornaments they have decorated around the skylights of the mall. I was a little disappointed that I did not look through the whole mall because the it is just so big, I mean the mall has three or more floors to it. I highly recommend coming to this mall. You are bound to find a store you would want to buy from.

Massive mall with just about every store you can think of. Great if you’re in the mood for serious shopping or just want to wander around indoors for a bit. There’s a ton of food options, from quick snacks to sit-down spots. It gets busy, especially on weekends, but there’s always something going on. Feels like a city within a city with how much there is to see and do.

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 😉
