This place is a paradise. A mall and a canal passing through the center of it looking like Venice. The architecture and the grand canal have high resemblance with the original Venice. Best time to visit is afternoon so that you won't miss the grand lights in the evening. Boat ride is reopened again now after the pandemic. But some of the restaurants and clothing stores are still closed. Best place to get photographed📸 is at the bridge and at the open dining space near the canals. Entrance is free. They used to have theatrical shows during festival seasons at the grand canal. Mall and the canal is ♿✔️ Wheelchair accessible. There's wheelchair accessible parking, entrance and lift. But the bridge is not.

One of the best family getaway places. We experienced riding the gondola, it’s pricey, but worth the experience especially when you’re with your loved ones. There are also plenty of restaurants around the mall that you can choose to dine in. The view is great especially at night coz you get to enjoy the night lights. ♥️

This would be my number one recommendation for dining in a Mall. The architecture is truly stunning and well worth our hour long journey to get here. The lights in the evening enhanced theVenetian atmosphere, as did the Italian music in the Piazza. The icing on the cake is the Italian restaurants for dining to complete the Italian experience.

Nothing much to do aside from taking pictures, dining and walk around the beautiful preserved Italian replica place. And try to go there and experience the boat ride. Unfortunately for us, the line was so long that we cannot afford to wait so had to give up. But all around a great experience to go to. 😊

The Venice Grand Canal is surely a luxurious place to go into. Mesmerizing views of a picturesque beauty of the place and the mall itself with a replica showing a grand view. A must to see place full of people and experiences. Open until 11am but the whole place is a grand masterpiece. The food inside the mall is awesome with different delicious meals served by known and popular restaurants foreign and local. Such a treat would surely take you to a different place of wonder and awe. Perfect for a couple and family they would surely enjoy. Have yourself visit this place and enjoy the night view.

I went here for the first time, it was so beautiful, I didn't regret coming here, it was worth!!

This is my happy place and food hub. I feel so relaxed every time I visit this place. Very unique and classy. The only mall in metro that offers classic vibes and unique outdoor experience. There are various shops and restaurants to choose from.

This mall impresses with its well-organized layout, offering a wide array of shops and restaurants. Perfect for a day of shopping and dining convenience.

On a nutshell, this is a huge mall with unique attractions. If you just want to be on a city, with accessible and unique experiences, this is a place to go. The place look better and nice at night. Overall, this place looks great and unique! 1. Many unique and rare stores can be found on this mall. Some stores you can only find on this place. 2. The place is good day or night, but is better at night. 3. There is an artificial river inside the mall. This river looks very nice at night, since there are decorative cozy lights. 4. Gondola is short but cool to try. I would recommend trying the Gondola. 5. This place offers different cinemas, and I mean not just one cinema. They have regular cinema, ultra cinema (with lazy boy and free drinks and popcorn), and outdoor cinema near the river. 6. It's very cozy and romantic to eat on the river side. Recommended for lovers and singles who just want a good view. 7. Ultra cinema is a luxury experience, similar to a director's club cinema. We booked an AirBnb near the place. The room we booked is walking distance to the mall itself. The mall is quite wide and it is easy to get lost. But there are array of choices from foods and restaurants to whatever you think of. There is also working spaces near the places (walking distance as well). Night shifts eat on the mall at around 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM so it's better to take your dinner earlier. There are also lots of picturesque locations which you can take for photo opportunities.

Went there with my family. We wanted to ride the boat thingy but it cost 400 pesos per head and minimum of 4. It's already a good experience coming over there even without the boat thingy. Totally recommend. Claw machine costs ₱10 per token. They have different kinds of restos. They're also PWD friendly. They have branded stores and local shops. It's a great place to go to with family!

Perfect for romantic dates. 😍 The place is huge, neat and clean. It has a lot of facades. When we went there they were having a runaway show, showing off wedding attires for me and women.

It's just like your typical mall with everything for your daily needs. From shopping to dinning, except it's something for you to see and experience that's totally worth the trip. It's like a little Venice within another country , not exactly like it but the vibe and feel is real for you to enjoy. Must try that Venice experience with your family and friends. Limited parking space but you won't get lost looking for it around the McKinley area.

This place is similar to Dubai festival city (canal side) with boat ride. One of the few man made place i've seen so far dito sa Pinas. Loaded with restos and side branded stores.

Lovely and memorable day! Our family recently had the pleasure of spending an exciting day at the Venice Grand Canal Mall in Taguig City. The mall's beautiful architecture, reminiscent of the charming Italian city it's named after, immediately caught our eyes. The replica of the Grand Canal, complete with gondolas, made us feel like we had stepped into a different world. The mall's wide array of shops catered to our different interests, making for a satisfying shopping experience. Our children were particularly thrilled by the range of kid-friendly activities the mall had to offer. They were kept entertained throughout our visit, a testament to the mall's family-friendly nature. The food options were diverse, catering to a variety of tastes and preferences. We enjoyed a delightful meal that was the perfect capstone to our day of exploration and fun. In terms of cleanliness and safety, the mall was well-maintained, ensuring a pleasant and secure environment for both kids and adults. The staff were courteous and ready to assist, further enhancing our overall experience.

I was only there for half a day since we were going home on a Sunday. It's better than the one in Macao and Vegas. I didn't see the entire mall yet due to short time, but once I come back, I want to ride on the gandola at night. It's not a lot of people if you come right when it opens. It's not pricey either for the gandola. A lot of restaurants to eat so it's not a problem to what you choose.

Needs more air conditioning, and more restaurants. Over all, great experienced

Venice Grand Canal Shopping Mall in McKinley Hill, Taguig, was inspired by one of Italy's most romantic cities. While the Grand Canal in Venice lines its banks with palaces and bridges, the Venice Grand Canal line its bank with upscale shops, fitness/beauty services, and uniquely Italian sights, sounds, and dining experience. The kitschy gondola rides allow you to see them all for 250 pesos per person. There are 1000 parking spaces available. Still, you have to get there early to secure your spot. Since this is a mall, there is no entrance fee. You must see it for yourself. The photographs don't do justice to the beauty of this place.

Very well designed mall, with some great places to hang out. The canal is without a doubt a nice touch - looks especially nice after dark, when all the lights by the water come on. There's a decent choice of food joints and shops (the Japan store esp has a range of cool & even cute stuff, if you're into that!), the cinema is good, and the supermarket has a good range of groceries. All in all, it's a nice mall 👍

It was a very unique concept of a mall. Great options for shopping and eating as well. I had a good time strolling around and taking pictures. They have a boating activity available within the mall for a fee.

This mall is an interesting concept. However, it seems to have been a little bit too ambitious as some parts look a bit dated already. Having said that, if you have time while visiting bgc, it can be a fun spot to check out.

Very nice, clean (more than real Venice) replica mall. 4 star because full of common restaurant like you can see in any mall around in Philippines. Overall worth to visit

Our visit here was unexpected last January 2021. There were less people despite the Friday evening because of the protocols of the pandemic in NCR that time. Overall, the ambiance is pretty good and lovely. :))

so fancy and very IG-worthy

Beautiful atmosphere, with Best retail stores in the market. You'll love to just chill around and dine to a variety of restaurants inside. A lot of things to do with your kids and the rest of the family.

Different views of Venice Grand Canal before and after the holiday season. This place is definitely Instagram-worthy, either you take your snaps during the day or night time. Great location to enjoy outdoor dinner and unwind. Not crowded, and restrooms are pristine. That's a plus for me. :) Update on my last visit yesterday, March 12, 2022. The gondola rides are back, as well as the living statue performers. It's starting to feel normal again, as the mall is a bit more crowded than my last visit. Will keep this thread updated.

This mall has finally livened up after years of pandemic! It's nice to see it is now truly a lifestyle mall -- lots to explore and enjoy for retail shopping, wining and dining, activities for kids and kids-at-heart, and spa and parlor services to boot! It's a complete experience that includes a Catholic chapel at the top floor with the outdoor garden.

A gorgeous Mall set in a European style town. Such lovely places for a romantic time wandering the canals and streets of Venice.

Nice place to just walk around and relax. There are lots of food places you can go to, including street foods so you wouldn’t run out of options. However, don’t expect department stores and huge fashion boutiques because you wouldn’t find them here. The roofdeck is a nice breath of fresh air as well with a chapel where you can find solitude. Tip: visit on a weekday to avoid crowds of people flocking in on weekends!

Elegant and Luxurious. McKinley Venice Canal Mall shares with you an experience of mesmerizing scenery and abroad like vibes which are truly instagramable. Built with numerous restaurants and clothing and luxury shops which are perfectly fit for different occasion/season getaways.

The Venice Grand Canal is Amazing design . I love to rides the boat you feel you are in France and Europe Country. The rides fee is 500 pesos per person in boat if below 3 height is free. Swan fee per person 250 pesos. The architecture is amazing. They have plenty of Restaurant, the bizarre food and selling things and if you want to shop something you like , you can buy there and have Mall. Great for family and kids and love ones and barkada. Kids they enjoy the rides train, Dino dinosaur, wheels ,car for kids. The Activities wearing traditional European France is wonderful you can take a picture them and give some tips, it's depend how much you want to give . Wonderful tunnel river with boat and Swan.

What a place! I’ve never seen a shopping centre so unique. A canal in the middle of a mall is so fun! You can get a gondola ride down the canal for a small cost which is a nice little tourist activity, especially when your feet hurt from all the walk. This mall is huge, which makes it quite difficult to navigate. We kept turning a corner and realising we hadn’t seen a whole new section of it yet. It has some great shops but I would say the restaurants are better/the main attraction here. So fun and definitely a must see in Manila!

It was a unique themed mall. Had a good stroll here and they have a lot if restaurants ti choose from (was just here for lunch). I just wish the guards and staff were more aware of the location and which directions to point to when asked, Or there were information booth or informative maps. It take us a long while to figure out where the car was parked. Had a long tiring walk.

I had the pleasure of visiting this charming mall, which draws inspiration from the picturesque city of Venice in Italy. The experience was nothing short of delightful. One of the highlights of my visit was the boat ride they offer. It provided a serene and relaxing journey through the mall's beautiful canals, truly emulating the Venetian spirit. What added to the charm was the complimentary photography service they offer. They took a lovely picture of me during the boat ride and gave me a hard copy as a keepsake, all for a reasonable price of 1000 pesos. It's important to note that they only accept cash for ticket payments, so make sure to carry some cash with you. The boat tour itself lasted about 10 minutes, offering a brief yet enchanting glimpse of the mall's unique architecture and ambiance. While exploring, I did notice that there were only a few clothing shops, but there was no shortage of dining options. The variety of restaurants was impressive, catering to different tastes and preferences, making it a great place for a family outing. In addition to the boat ride and dining, the mall also houses a cinema. Although I didn't have the chance to visit it, I can imagine it being a wonderful entertainment option for families and children. Overall, this Venice-inspired mall is a hidden gem that offers a refreshing and enjoyable experience. Whether you're looking for a leisurely boat ride, a diverse range of dining options, or a family-friendly atmosphere, this mall has something to offer for everyone. Don't miss the opportunity to escape into a Venetian dream right in the heart of the city.

I like the new ambience in this place, it is not crowded during our visit and we really enjoy the establishment. They have opened more stores, restaurants and gift shops. The lights are warm and cozy the place is PWD friendly, there are ramps available for wheelchair users. The down side was, some of the employees tend to stand by in the place where visitors wanted to have pictures. And it seems like they are enjoying being a photo bummer in every selfies.

Nice place to relax, clean and cozy. Good customer service from the staff. “I had an incredible experience at this lovely mall! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. My friend , took the time to really listen to what I wanted and gave me the perfect tour. I’ve never felt so pampered, happy and confident leaving a mall before! I’ll definitely be recommending this nice big mall to all my friends and family.”

Perfect for weekend getaways with your family. They have plenty of shops and restaurants that are not usual in other malls. There are still vacant spots though, so not all parts of the mall have high foot traffic. You’re lucky if you get to watch free seasonal concerts. I think we can all agree that the highlight of the place is the man-made Grand Canal itself. Surrounding it are people in vibrant costumes, either performing or engaging in photoshoots. Expect loads of people taking snaps here and there. Attaching here are some shots I took here.

Typical mall type. Out-door dining with the view of canal but the place was too crowded. But I think you can feel the romantic vibe when you go in off season without too much people who only taken a picture because of Christmas lights and display and actually they didn't appreciate the real beauty of the Canal. Just saying

Very elegant. Though I walk by to go to the Marketplace for groceries, I really feel the elegance. It's like Italy in the Philippines

The Venice Grand Canal Mall is a must-visit for everyone. It's an elegant place to shop, dine, and stroll. It is spacious and has a beautiful architectural design. You can also ride the gondolas (I highly recommend that you try it because it's a relaxing experience). The gondoliers are in uniforms, and some also sing in Italian. 🔸 Plenty of cafes, fast food chains, and restaurants 🔸 Clean bathrooms

So far, good imitation of Venice in Italy.

As usual Venice canal very nice and clean place the views are awesome you should go to that place before sunset so you can enjoy the views in light and at night the views are excellent in night and photographers can show their skills 😂😂 apart from that Venice mall is also Soo good but the products there are quite expensive but still we can choose some and the restaurants there are ultimate and HiFi provides the best service for you, and the outside street food is quite big and in budget can eat there who can't efford in mall restaurants.... overall experience is awesome and worth for visiting the place will visit again for sure....😉😉👌

One of the most surprising places I have visited. Amazing place to visit

Feels like your out of the country..wonderful, unique place, you can dine overlooking the canal. Its a different expirience. They also offer outdoor dining, Bicycle and electric scooter for rent to roam around with minimal charge to enjoy. You can try to ride gondola for P500 (italian water taxi) Parking P30 for first 3hours.

I like ambience here, its like we are in europe. Its has many shop and restaurant. This place have many good spot fot photo. Well not much big mall have design like this so its still worth visit.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! 🎶 Always pretty.

Every place is worth picture-taking because of its scenic view.

Great spot for trying out different foods since this feels more like a mall for restaurants. There are some shops but you’d come here more for the food options. Overall area is very picturesque. Atmosphere is great and the river is a beautiful addition to tie everything up!

love how the center area is an open space. its also a great idea how the names of the stores / restaurants were listed on the walls outside so it'd be easy for the people to locate where they want to eat. we were bringing around our luggages that time but the guards said they do not have a baggage counter for it so we just huddled it around but thankfully, the mall has a lot of ramps so its super easy to just bring them around and it also concludes how the mall is also wheelchair friendly.

As always a great place to unwind, dine and shop.

On this Mall all i can say is Perfect 👏👏👏. The ambience and the view super instagramable and the restaurant are all beautiful and clean.Perfect Mall and perfect place for your family and friends. Come and visit and you will enjoy. #exploremore

Such a beautiful place to visit and experience a Venice-inspired and Italian mood in the Philippines. You can even roam around the place and visit stores in both sides of the main attraction canal. There's also an available Gondola ride if you would like to experience a sight seeing ride while on the gondola. It's recommendable if you visit the spot at night for a more colorful view and much better experience. Expect a volume of visitors at night visit of course. You may need to wait in queue if you want to take a picture on the bridge. There's also other attractions inside the Grand Canal Mall including those people wearing fascinating costumes. Also, entrance is free but I guess the gondola ride has a fee.

Enjoying the area while maintaining health protocol 😍

A place for lovers and foodies. Very clean and refreshing. Best for families and couple that wanted to try new gala experience. Take time to visit.

The Venice reproduction it's amazing, the 10 pesos for using Cr it's embarrassing and 40 pesos for parking motor it's a mess missing only a fee on info and for breathing inside the mall, those are small detail that everyone notice, but nobody talk about, to don't look cheap, when cheap it's who rule that, imagine the mall company get all the rent and income percentage from every single shop and plus,plus and plus for all around... Be different, be better... Only 4 stars, nice only the Venice place and the guards kindness and smiling all the time

Even with covid19 regulations and alot of shops closed and shame the the gondola rides still not in operation but restrictions are been relaxed now so more people able to go inside still give it 5stars beautiful place nice to walk around so many photo opertunitys dinning shopping try the traditional Italian restaurants along the canal food to die for masarap talaga Not so many people there been early opening and midweek seems the bars have started again for the night views so think night times will be busy next time maybe we stay longer there for sure. There's beautiful roof top garden 3rd floor with church nice peaceful serene inside 👍👍👍👍👍

Venice grand canal mall gives you a unique taste of Italy in the heart of Manila. The canal and bridges are very cool. People are dressed up for more authentic and many photo opportunities. There are so many restaurants although a bit high prices I guess it goes with the ambiance. Some very good did though 👍

A poor replica of, for example, the Villaggio Mall in Doha. The decoration is good and the water channel is nice, but it feels very artificial and soulless. Here there are very few reputable brands but many restaurants.

Only few array of shops, mostly closed due to the pandemic. Major attraction is the Grand Canal where they host this gondola ride and movie nights.

Similar to Doha's Villagio canal mall in Qatar, Venice Grand Canal mall is a smaller version of it. Both mimicking Venice canals where one can also enjoy riding on gondolas. However, I like the one in McKinley better as the canal is in open air. And of course the restaurants where food is much, much better

It was my amazing tour here in Venice Grand Canal Mall, it's a friendly and clean environment 🥰 you can window shopping inside if you don't want to buy anything 😘❤️ Venice Grand Canal Mall of Taguig The Essence of Rome🥰

You can enjoy your meal while at this place lots of nice and relaxing view here

Maybe you are just here to see the magic of Venice. Well I have to say it is excellently done apart from the swan haha the gondola look great and I have no idea how much it costs to have a ride but I am sure that you would enjoy it.

I was expecting to spend a penny for the whole place, like an entrance fee or something but gladly i did not. The place was fancy, you can see lots of people enjoying the place, it was a big one. More bleachers and there are fast food and restaurants inside. Perfect for family bonding.

I have been wanting to visit this place for a long time. And it didn’t disappoint! The artistic facade of the place is quite visible and pleasing to the eye ! No wonder lots of people gather here for photo sessions! I will try the gondola next time !!! Love it !!!

Still a good place for family bonding There's a church on the 5th floor which they called St. Raphael. You can visit and thanking the Lord then you can have window shopping and eat after There is a food court that is so cozy There are affordable fast food like Jollibee and Mcdo at the second floor Parking rates for car is 50 pesos There's kidzoona at wet lagoon

Still a great place to visit despite the pandemic. Lights are full of grandeur and you will certainly feel the Christmas vibes! Its also an al fresco mall thus making it one of the perfect site for children to visit. Just make sure you do it on a weekday so as lesser persons are coming in. Was also surprised that a lot of foodchains are already in, even Banchetto is there. I highly recommend this place. ❤

This is a very pretty mall. Excellent concept and planned with a pretty canal in the middle where people can ride gondolas through. I believe the mall was initially planned to be high end to cater to the community of McKinley hill but as it turns out, most of this mall's clients are from a different demographic so a lot of the higher end stores are closing up.

So great to go this place I will come back again in this place

Parking is nice. View is nice. Has amenities for PWDs. No face shields necessary. Nice mall of you're more into just walking and chatting as opposed to heavy shopping.

Its a one of kind experience. The venice version of the Philippines.

My kid enjoyed the place even tho we couldn't get inside because no kids allowed. The place gets easily crowded but if you went early you can do a lot of sightseeing and picture taking. There is a street food bazaar just outside the mall. The food were delicious but it tends to be a little on the pricey side. There are also food stalls on the side, behind the fountain. There are also claw machines and bike/scooter rentals. At night, the view is gorgeous but it also made the place go more crowded where the social distancing rule is really out of the window. Overall great experience for my kid but a bit too crowded for my taste.

Awesome and a MUST see! Funny enjoyed the day there, great food and great entertainment and very peaceful place. We all enjoyed our stay and will go again.

I love the place. So beautiful like you are In other country. It's good for the family and lovers and husband and wife. You can't regret it.☺️☺️

Good spot to bring a date. In my experience better than the venetian in Vegas.

Venice Grand Canal Mall is a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a unique shopping experience. The attention to detail and the ambiance of the mall make it a great place to spend a day with friends and family. Whether you're in the mood for shopping, dining, or just enjoying a stroll, you're sure to find something that appeals to you at the Venice Grand Canal Mall.

Very nice and beautiful people and place. Great for family and friends to visit and enjoy together. I highly recommend it to everyone. Arat na

There is event for the biggest street market in Metro Manila in front of Venice Mall. For the parents who will bring their kids, I know we are excited to bring the kids out but we have to weigh things out. If there are too many people, let's not fight each other and force them to bring out the children. Health is always a priority in these times.

It's beautiful... Not crowded at all when we visited the place.

Must visit if you are in manila. It is tourist hotspot without of shopping and dining experiences. And of course the boat ride in canal. If weather is nice, this place is superb to spend an eve. Totally instagram worthy. Located in McKinley Hill, Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines. A glimpse of mini Italy.
