Rainy day in Vancouver so decided on a bit of retail therapy. Caught the sky train from downtown and took us about 15 minutes. A mixture of high end and cheaper shops including many high street brands. We spent the day here including visiting the cinema and had a really good day.
I visit this mall very often and I must say it is quite pleasant everytime. It is a huge mall located in Burnaby. Almost everything you need you can get from the mall. Clothing, appliances, furniture, or whatever. There are also some decent places to eat. The downside is the place can get so packed at times. Other than that. Id give it a 4. Only because nobody is telling people to stop smoking in front of most entrances where nobody should be smoking. I called security one time to say that someone is smoking on the entrance and security said they had just been there and they would go check in an hour. Do you think that person will wait for you for an hour outside? what a joke.
Metropolis at Metrotown is actually 2 malls joined in the middle. There aren't many items you could want that you can't find here. If you don't want to bring a car, the Metrotown Skytrain (elevated) and the regular buses are just outside.
The Food Court has great variety too.
I had big shopping with my sister and her daughter. Aritzia, Banana Republic, Oak+Fort, Gap, Sepora, Shoppers drug mart and Food court. We spent almost 3hrs. Everything we found what we wanted. So comfort, convenience and biggest shopping mall.
Huge mall and the maps to find the shops can be confusing. Not a shopping fan myself so wasn't all that impressed but I know for others it is impressive and they might enjoy spending a full day there.
