VivoCity

Good mall. Lots of shops from basic to high end. Kind of crowded but that;s normal for a mall. We were here three times our whole vacation in Singapore.

The mutha-​ship of all malls. If you cannot find it here then it probably doesn’t exist.
All the big retailers here. There is plenty of food from the Kopitiam in the basement to a host of chain and solo eateries.
There are also touch screen information kiosks for when you get lost, and you will get lost.

Is this Singapore’s biggest mall to date? Or is it ION or NEX? I don’t know. Till date I still scatter my way around. Considering I go to this mall every month, that is saying something. Perhaps my sense of direction just sucks terribly!
Yes, this place is simply to say, magnificent. Tourists will need to visit this place to complete their Singapore shopping experience. Cinema theatres, department stores, art supplies, fashion, spas… almost everything!
If you want to find food, basement is the place to be. From gelatos, cakes, local foodcourt, fast food. Of course there are still other restaurants that are still dispersed on the other levels; like those of Burger King, Poulet, Jamie’s Italian, Starbucks, Carl’s Junior, Fish & Co and etc… Okay I take my words back, there’re a lot of restaurants on the other levels as well. Just that the basement mostly caters to only food.
The mall also has a great sea view. So far, the restaurant that I have dined in with great sea view here was Swensen’s.
Vivo City also serves as a station for monorails that will transport you to/​from the nearby Sentosa Island. It’s my 2^nd favourite mode of transport going to Sentosa, really (first being the cable cars). Weekends can be pretty crowd-​crazy.
By far, one of my most favourite malls. Moderate prices with loads of variety and a great setting!

Large shopping mall located and connected to another shopping mall attached to a cruise terminal with a subway stop in the basement, monorail, and gondola ride located with steps of the entrance. There is a lot to keep person entertained here from the shopping to the food options available. Place is busy from families to high school kids just hanging out. My hotel was located across the street so I always ended floating through here and it was busy regardless of the time of day.

One of my favourite malls over here.
Not just a great place to hang out with friends and families. It’s a good place to go on dates too! Spending time with your loved ones either hanging out at the mall or walking towards Sentosa in good weather is definitely ideal.
The mall has something for everyone; kids, teenagers, adults and senior citizens, so no one will feel bored.
There are ample of restaurants and food courts, however they are quite pricey so do take note of it.
If you wish to have a meal there, do take note of the crowd at meal times, so either come early or an hour or two after meal times to avoid the long wait especially if you are with your loved ones.

A very nice, clean, and modern mall. The food here is better than most malls. It does get fairly crowded in the mornings and weekends with crowds heading to Sentosa. The mall itself is cool with modern architecture and the roof park is awesome.

I was pretty happy with this mall, so there’s nothing overwhelmingly amazing about it. You have your typical consortium of brand names, an expansive food court with a lot of yummy options, clean restrooms, etc. I’m skimming the reviews next to what I’m writing and I didn’t realize that it’s Singapore’s largest mall. It’s definitely a good mall but nothing amazing? As a tourist, I wasn’t impressed, especially relative to the types of malls that I’ve seen in Shanghai. I went to a few other malls in SIngapore and I actually liked them a bit more than Vivocity. I think Vivocity’s main plus is that it has an infinitely large selection of food, but otherwise, it’s alright, nothing special.

Le plus grand centre commercial de Singapour.
Immense ! Il y a simplement tout !
Bön, faut dire qu’il a la même chose à tous les coins de rue à Singap, ceux qui rend ça moins spécial…

This is a 3.5 rounded down to 3. I’m a bit torn on this place.
On the one hand, it’s Singapore’s largest mall with everything you’re looking for. I almost want to say it’s the Mustafa Centre of malls. All the popular stores are here, and there are a good range of eateries, from food courts to nice restaurants. Thanks to the spacious ground level, they have the ability to hold good events like the Cold Storage wine fair, which offers a ton of wines to choose from to a point that it’s super overwhelming.
But then there are the crowds. If you’ve read a lot of my reviews, you know I hate them and coming here on weekends is an absolute nightmare. Not only do you have half of Singapore walking around, you also have to contend with the groups of tourists that arrive at the nearby ferry terminal. Bottom line– it’s a huge clusterfuck!
I don’t really come here to go shopping; it’s more a meeting place for my friends and I before we head over to Sentosa for some party rockin’. When it’s not a public holiday, we take the Sentosa Express from level 3. If the queues are too crazy, we end up using the boardwalk from the waterfront promenade.
Despite the maddening crowds, I wouldn’t mind revisiting to try some of the restaurants here. Jamie Oliver’s, the Chop House, along with Queen and Mangosteen look interesting. Guess that’s one more thing add to my list of things to do in Year 2!

Great air conditioning and, multistoried, there are plenty of stores to interest you. Restaurants and people-​watching are also plentiful. There are very few benches, however, so it’s not easy to find a place to rest.

I’m allowed to give the extra star for a tourist lol.
Not just a massive mall, but it’s happening. Everything you can think of is under one roof, though minus a few of the luxury retailers compared to the shopping at Orchard.
What really impressed me the most is the sheer awesomeness of the food selection; not just the Food Republic with various cuisines upstairs, but also the main ground level, a more price-​friendly along w/​the other kiosks in the mall.
But wouldn’t recommend if you’re looking for a quieter time to take your time and stroll gingerly — it’s like Black Friday shopping non-​stop.
And just a short hop to the resort Sentosa.
Highly recommend for the hard-​core shopper.

I don’t care if this review makes me seem like a snob, so be it, maybe I’m a snob. But the fact is: there’s a scary, dark thing that resides within the middle part of any country. Middle America, Middle Australia, wherever you like… and Middle Singapore is no exception. What is the evil that lurks within the hearts of men? You can discover the Singapore version at VivoCity!
On a weekend, this is potentially the most uncomfortable place on the whole island. I would rather spend my time in Changi Prison. There are people everywhere: families, students, tourists, etc. It’s like all of Orchard Road crowded into one gigantic, disorienting megamall. And people seem to have absolutely no concern or regard for each other.
Hey, you’re walking with your kids? Bump everyone out of the way! Your flight path is obviously too important for traffic control. Who cares if you knock over some auntie in a wheelchair? You need to get to Tangs before the $ 50 shoe sale ends! You HAVE to be first in line at Sushi Tei!
Do malls like VivoCity turn people into monsters? The place does have a colour scheme that looks like it was designed by a clown having a seizure and the building’s pathways seem the brainchild of someone who enjoyed monster truck derbies. Or are people monsters to begin with?
Whatever the answer is, I suggest you avoid this monstrosity on weekends. Plus one star for Carl’s Jr, Brotzeit & Baguette, as well as the roof being a cozy place to chill on a weeknight.

Tourists and Visitors, listen up! I don’t have to review this for locals, everyone knows you can get lots of stuff here. Recently my coworker asked where he should visit in Singapore, and Vivocity is one of the places I suggested. Lots of places to eat — if you want a taste of loacal food without braving the heat of hawker centers, Food Republic is an option. Shopping is pretty good, lots of stores and both international local brands can be found here. Now the reason why I really suggested Vivocity is because visitors can hop on the monorail to Sentosa or the cable car from harbourfront next door. That practically fills up a day of shopping, eating and sightseeing.

This is a huge mall with tons of places to shop. It is right off of the MRT, which is nice. There is a patio/​deck area along the water with some nice outdoor walking and scenery. There are also some HQ-​style places like Singtel and StarHub, which you may have to visit for handling account opening and such that the smaller outlets do not. However, the mall is ridiculously swarmed with people, which makes navigation a bit difficult and uncomfortable at times. There are a lot of other nice, large malls around Singapore, but it seems an extraordinary amount of people choose to go to this one.

This place is a Madhouse any day of the week, but especially on weekends. Tons of eateries but if you’re claustrophobic, avoid at all costs

Sure VivoCity has something for everybody… but what I hate about this mall is also that is has EVERYBODY looking for something. You’ll be hard-​pressed to find a mall this big in Singapore and yet on weekends you’ll still encounter a literal press of people. Sure it used to be worse when it first opened, but still. I’d rather head to somewhere I don’t have to worry about parking, and that I know I won’t have to wait for the 3^rd lift from the carpark because the first two were full.
Crowds aside though (and I do wish the crowds would just move aside), the place is great. I love the Vietnamese Bahn Mi place. It’s my nearest Starbucks. The cinema is pretty new (relatively) and usually pretty empty if you’re catching the late night shows (as I’m wont to do since I live nearby). It’s the gateway to Sentosa. There’re two supermarkets. There’s a Barcelos (which is sorta like a budget Nando’s), a Swensens, a Challenger, nicer brands like Zara, and more mid-​range ones like those in Tangs. With a mall that big, it’s just really hard to not have a reason to head to VivoCity.
Of course… that means EVERYONE has a reason to head to VivoCity, and that’s the biggest reason why I haven’t rated it four stars.
Oh. That and the fact that the mall is HUGE, but the POSB ATMs are at the corner furthest from the MRT entrance and cinemas. My run from cinema to ATM to get cash for popcorn is possibly one of the worst late night movie memories I have…

really love this place it’s beautiful and really serene apparently. It is also really bus freindly

With so many stores under one roof, how is it possible not to able to find something that suits you?
Vivocity caters to anybody. Hungry? Choose from the food court, fast food outlets or restaurants. Wanna buy clothes? There are plenty of apparel stores. Need something to cool off on a sweltering day? That’s why the many ice-​cream parlours are around. Heading to Sentosa? Hop onto the monorail. Expecting a baby? You’ll find everything you need for your newborn in Mothercare.
Honestly, this is the best mall we have.

Probably my favourite mall in the island. Good thing it’s near where I live too.
It’s mega, but not in a scary way. It’s a little off-​putting at first learning to orientate yourself in the maze, but once you have a grip on it you can do literally anything here. Go to a bank, eat decent hawker food, eat at decent restaurants, eat steamboat, drink beer, shop at not just one but two supermarkets. You can even take the monorail to Sentosa from here.
The only thing you can’t do here, it seems, is take a taxi. The taxi queue here is possibly the worst I have ever been in. I waited 2 hours for a cab once, had too much crap on me to be able to walk to public transport, and I’m not keen to ever take a taxi here again. Good thing then that it’s so well connected by bus and also to not just one but two MRT lines (North East and Circle) from HarbourFront station.

It used to call itself the biggest mall in Singapore, though I’m not so sure about that with malls like nex popping up. Still, it’s a pretty big place with a wide variety of shops asnd restaurants. It’s also has a Toys R Us, of which I think there are only two in Singapore! The mall gets really crowded during the weekends.
The mall is right next to HarbourFront, where cruises and ferries come and go. So if you’re lucky you may see a huge cruise ship docked right next to the mall. There is ample space on the roof and balconies to hang out, and it gets quite romantic in the evening so you’ll see many couples there.
You can catch the monorail to Sentosa here, so there are plenty of tourists as well.

Best shopping experience ever to befall my territory.
A general route for me when visiting Vivocity: POSB bank /​Starhub for any errands. bYSI, La Sensa, Mango, Tangs, a quick glance at Ted Baker’s shop window, Zara, Warehouse, Topshop, Forever 21, Best Denki and Challenger for geek fix, stop for yoghurt at Yigloo or pick up a bun at Provence or a snack from Old Chang Kee/​Beard Papa, proceed to Giant/​Vivomart for any groceries, Watsons/​Self-​Fix/​Daiso the $ 2 store for any other stuff for the house, and wrap up at Food Republic on the third floor or Sushi Tei/​Marche for dinner before heading home or for a movie at Golden village.
What can’t you do here?

Eine der größten Shopping-​Malls in Singapur (und an denen gibt es ja nicht gerade wenige in der Löwen-​Stadt), in der man wirklich alles findet!
Egal ob Bekleidung, Schmuck, Lebensmittel, Bücher oder ein nettes Restaurant zum Abendessen, die VivoCity bietet alles. Darüber hinaus ist sie auch Ausgangspunkt des SentosaExpress, der strandhungrige Urlauber auf Sentosa Island bringt, die Vergnügungsinsel vor Singapur.
Auf alle Fälle ist die VivoCityein absolutes Muss für jeden Singapur-​Urlauber!
