    Metrotown shopping Centre is a huge shopping complex that consist out of 500 shops. This mall consists out of three main malls: Station Square ( Save On Foods, FutureShop) located on the west side, Old Navy in the middle and the Metrotown Centre towards the east. Each of these malls are connected to each other by pedestrian bridges.

    Shoppers going there for the first time may be confused by all of it, but there are maps available on every floor as well as an information booth located at one of the main entrances.

    Metropolis is a newer part of this mall and opened about 5 years ago. It's connected Metrotown and this new section of the mall is filled with ambitious stores with a young and trendy theme. You can browse through the Playdium which offers virtual reality games, visit aromatic soap shops like LushCanada or go to the movie at the Silvercity Metropolis located at the top floor.

    If you can't find it anywhere else you might find it in Metrotown as there are over 500 shops!

    Metrotown Centre is a huge megamall (two actually, Metrotown and Eaton Centre are joined), where you can find pretty much anything you need (or don't).

    There's also major department stores: Eatons, the Bay, Zellers (very cheap), and T&T - a specialty asian (chinese) food/department store, and Superstore or Save0nFoods (giant grocery stores).

    The best thing about it is that you can access everything under one roof, without having to go out in the rain.

    Lots of clothing stores, shoe stores, jewellery stores, a big food fair to eat at, knicknack stores, 'everything under a dollar' stores, toys, music, sporting goods, health food, books, cosmetics, etc, etc...

    There's also the 'mega' movie theatres, where the seats are plush, and the screen and sound is big (so are the prices though, $12). Worth it for the really blockbuster action films.

  • It is the biggest mall I've ever seen in my life!!! Second only in size to West Edmonton Mall I believe. You can buy anything imaginable , with many stores not found in other, smaller places in the country.

    Metrotown: Metro town malls

  • Thia mall is the probably the biggest mall in British Columbia. Metrotown mall has anything you can think of in it from old stuff to the new latest cool thing out in public. This mall is so big it would take you a good day just to see what type of stores it has to offer the public. You name a store i can almost promise you that it is in the mall.

    This mall you can buy almost any type of materials you are searching for. If i went there to go find a basketball jersey of Vince Carter and to buy a pair of replica shoes of him they would have all three types of shoes he has and all three types of jerseys that he has as well.

    Their prices in this mall are fairly reasonable and you would have to shop around a bit in the mall cause one item may be cheaper in the thats across it or beside.
