VivoCity (Chinese: 怡丰城) is the largest shopping mall at the HarbourFront precinct in Singapore. Opened on 7 October 2006, it marked the completion of the main structure by a topping-out ceremony on 18 April 2006 and was officially opened on 1 December 2006. Derived from the word vivacity, VivoCity, according to Mapletree Chairman Edmund Cheng, "evokes a lifestyle experience that is modern, stimulating and accessible to everyone, a place bubbling with energy and flowing with vitality". At the end of the first week of operations, the mall had received nearly a million visitors.

    When they advertised VivoCity as the largest mall in Singapore, they really meant it. Yet..somehow, the lack in signs made the walk around the mall confusing. I sort of ended up in circles, and wondering if i've been pass these shops previously.

    However, the range of shops were really great. Shops ranging from the high ends to the very basic and common shops can all be found there, suiting every needs that one could have.

    Restaurant choices was one of the factors that attracted me. VivoCity had a range of food and restaurants that were slightly different from the normal restaurants that we are accustomed with.

    Oh! Do visit Build-A-Bear Workshop while u are there. It's a really adorable concept for people to make their own teddies. :)

    Hmm..on the other hand, however, the appeal and attraction to visit VivoCity was lost quite soon enough after the first visit. Nothing seems to really capture my want to revisit it. Maybe it's all the media hoo-ha that made people visit at first.. *hmm*

      Truly many shops and lots of walking to do. The symmetry makes you feel like you are in a maze the first time you are there. One end of it looks the same like the other end. Need to use the shops as bearings inorder not to get lost.

      The types of shops available is not for everyone. In my opinion, suited for those with heavy pockets. IMHO, It does not give you the "come back again" feel. It feels like the shops are screaming for your attention with the fanciful decor and designs. It has the "quickly buy and go home" kinda feel. Not homely and appealing.

      The only reason why I would bring someone there is just to tell them that this is the newest and "biggest" shopping center in Singapore (in 2007). Full Stop.

        VivoCity definitely lived up to expectations as being the largest mall around but that just made it all the more confusing. It's floor plan did not help much and everything just looks the same. It took me half an hour to find the cinema alone! It does have some pretty good shops, but the appeal just isn't there.
