Stretching nearly four kilometers across the city, Italy’s Venice Grand Canal draws tourists from around the world with its picturesque views and iconic gondola rides.
One of Venice’s top attractions, the Grand Canal divides the city in two, serving as both a scenic landmark and a vital waterway for transportation and commerce.
Venice, often called the “City of Canals,” is home to more than 150 interconnected waterways, with the Grand Canal at its heart.
Taking inspiration from this world-renowned site, an open-air mall in McKinley Hill, Taguig City recreates the Venetian experience, complete with gondola rides, while offering a variety of shops and dining options for visitors.
Aside from marveling at the romantic architecture and enjoying a gondola ride along its man-made canal, visitors to the Venice Grand Canal Mall can also explore several hidden attractions within the mall.
Interaksyon recently visited the Venice-inspired mall to experience its entertainment offerings firsthand, including trampoline jumping, bowling, digital games and a taste of its diverse dining options.
Among the attractions open during mall hours are WiiJump Trampoline Park, SuperPark Philippines and Enter10.
General admission to WiiJump Trampoline Park is priced at P499.
Ticket rates at Superpark Philippines range from P200 to P1,400, depending on the session.
Meanwhile, fees at Enter10 vary from P300 to P6,500, based on the activities and the number of participants.
After all the bouncing, crawling, and running, visitors can recharge with hearty meals from the malls’ restaurants.
Crustasia satisfies every palate with the rich flavors of the sea, complemented by dishes infused with regional flair.
Complete your Venice Grand Canal dining experience with authentic Italian cuisine at Cibo, where every dish brings the flavors of Italy to your table.
