VivoCity
Facts and practical information
VivoCity, Singapore's largest shopping centre, stands as a modern beacon of consumerism and leisure in the heart of the bustling city-state. Opened in 2006, this retail and entertainment haven was designed by the renowned Japanese architect Toyo Ito, boasting a distinctive wavy facade that mirrors the flow of the sea, a nod to its waterfront location at the HarbourFront precinct.
Sprawling over 1.5 million square feet, VivoCity is not merely a place to shop but a lifestyle destination. With over 300 retail outlets, the mall offers a comprehensive mix of fashion, electronics, homeware, and sporting goods, catering to the diverse needs of shoppers. For fashionistas, international brands sit alongside local labels, while tech enthusiasts can find the latest gadgets and innovations.
The shopping experience is complemented by a myriad of dining options, ranging from fast food to gourmet, satisfying the palates of both local and international visitors. The rooftop Sky Park is one of VivoCity's unique features, where families can enjoy alfresco dining and leisure activities, including a playground and wading pool with stunning views of Sentosa Island and the vast sea.
Entertainment is a cornerstone of VivoCity's allure. A 15-screen multiplex cinema, a large Toys 'R' Us for children, and regular events held in the open spaces within the complex ensure that there is always something to captivate visitors of all ages.
VivoCity also serves as a gateway to Sentosa Island, with the Sentosa Express monorail connecting the shopping centre directly to the island's attractions, making it a convenient hub for tourists and locals heading for a day of fun and relaxation.
