Metropolis at Metrotown Summer Program
Keep cool “Under The Sea” this summer with fun-filled events for all ages at Metropolis at Metrotown! Here are seven ways to enjoy a chill summer at BC’s largest shopping centre.
- Feast at the brand-new Night Market at Metrotown. Enjoy a free-to-enter night market populated by street vendors such as Wakwak Burgers, Aburi’s WA Bagel, Butcher’s Block BBQ, La Meza Grill, Don Oso, Connie Cravings, and Bak’d. Additional fun activities include a free photo booth with an Under the Sea backdrop, live music, a street circus and dancers, and daily face painting and balloon-making. Visitors can also try the Spin and Win – for every $25 spent at the night markets, visitors can spin the wheel to win a prize.
- Immerse in underwater decor. Admire the stunning jellyfish, coral reef, seaweed décor, and a colourful assortment of sea creatures. The installations, hosted at several mini-parks throughout the centre, culminate in an impressive main display in the Grand Court.
- Take professionally managed photos at the Grand Court display. From July 17-19, 11 am-5 pm, and July 20-28, 11 am-7 pm, pose for photos at the Grand Court’s undersea wonderland! In addition to ocean-themed props, the display features a fun and engaging sea creature that visitors can pose with. Pricing starts at $20 with a selection of packages available, and a portion of proceeds will be donated to Ocean Wise. Guests can reserve their photo spot at metropolisatmetrotown.com
- Enjoy a dazzling Under the Sea parade. On July 6 and 20 and August 3, from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., parade participants—adorned in eye-popping sea creature costumes designed by Lazy Wizard—will assemble at each mini-park, providing the perfect photo opportunity for shoppers. The parade starts at Zara and ends at the Grand Court at Metrotown.
- Spend $150 and receive a gift. From July 12-21, treat yourself and your loved ones to a shopping day! Shoppers who spend $150 or more will get a gift – perfect for the pool or beach.
- Marvel at ocean life under a Sea Dome. Hosted by Ocean Wise on July 13 and 14 in the Grand Court, a six-metre inflatable dome will display 360-degree 4K footage of stunning ocean environments. Visitors can speak with expert educators about threats to the ocean and actions for protection and explore interactive learning stations with ocean artifacts.
- Journey through The Met with a Summer Passport. Until September 2, pick up a summer passport from Guest Services and explore! Take photos, find free samples (including ice cream and drinks), and collect stamps along the way. Seven stamps earn a gift, and ten can win one of three $100 gift cards to Metropolis at Metrotown.
