Metropolis at Metrotown Reviews
Rated out of 5
Metropolis at Metrotown is an experience in itself. There is an abundance of stores with all the top brand stores and a food fare to satisfy everyone's taste. The place is huge and well decorated with wonderful array of shops, and stores to find fashion, consumer electronics and sundry items. It is very spacious with lots of public areas to sit down and pause. This mall has tons of underground parking and is a SkyTrain stop on the Expo line. This shopping mall is a shopping destination all by itself and an adventure to explore.

We visited this mall during the holiday season and were really impressed. It’s outstanding, with plenty of attractions and beautiful festive decorations throughout. Given its size, having both a food court and a grocery store is very convenient for a quick bite. Coming from Seattle, we also noticed that prices were a bit more affordable compared to the U.S. Overall, it was a great shopping experience.

Metrotown isn’t just a mall, it’s a multiverse! For a nerd like me, it feels like stepping into a perfectly balanced RPG hub. One minute you’re digging through classical records like a refined villain, the next you’re staring at action figures you definitely don’t need but emotionally require. Clothes, tech, pop culture...everything coexists in beautiful consumer harmony. And when the brain overheats, the food options come to the rescue: Asian gems, comfort food, quick bites, and proper sit down spots. Metrotown understands one simple truth: heroes, collectors, and introverts all need good gear and better food.

One of the largest and most vibrant shopping malls in Burnaby, with an impressive range of shops and restaurants ranging from local supermarkets, sushi places, Chinese supermarket to small shops that specialise in Japanese anime goods.
Conveniently connected to a metro station, it is no wonder that this place attracts such a large crowd during weekends
