    Going nearby places and decided to park here. Wasn't many slots left on my visit on the weekend. Sunday might be more crowded since parking is per entry at $3.20. Not that easy to go out for prams if parked at B3 parking since there is no lift directly to level 1 or 3 (toy r us level). There is one lift which served B2 to upper level but a bit slow.

    Forum The Shopping Mall is strategically located in Orchard. It's a quieter place in Orchard if you like to avoid the crowds. It has a variety of boutiques, cafes as well as music schools. There's also outdoor pop up stores along the exterior of Forum. Some of the cafes have outdoor sittings as well. The taxi pick up point is located at the back of the shopping mall.

    Opened in 1986, Forum The Shopping Mall is an old mall but with a fair number of good eateries like Jade Palace Seafood Restaurant, LINO, and Social Place, and a 24-hour Coffee Bean and McDonald's. Now regarded as the quieter side of Orchard, many believe the mall is awaiting redevelopment as the owner owns several adjoining plots. Washrooms and common facilities are dated but its a good place to meet as its just located outside the ERP gates

    I think the place is good for child and parents because there have many nice shops and restaurants with nice interior. But I don’t recommend the place’s toilet. It’s sooooooo dirty😝😝 So if you guys have to go the forum, don’t go toilet 🤣 i think you can find hilton Singapore toilet or opposite delfi toilet too 😁must remember that🤪

    Have been there countless of times. Rather old shopping mall. But extremely well maintain and refreshed often. Oldest tenant Toys r Us is still here. A few children educational establishments. A nice Chinese restaurant in the basement. And several other restaurants and eateries. I like Social Place where I ate several times.

  • 3/5 Jude L. 6 years ago on Google • 604 reviews
    Not many restaurants and shops. More for enrichment classes and a big toys r us and Jamie Oliver's kitchen. However, now that toys r us USA is bankrupt, I don't know the fate of Spore's toys r us. Forum has been around since I was a teenager, so it's an old mall. Still quite well maintained. McDonalds and coffee bean has been around since the late 90s

    I come here for children’s books, kids haircuts, and to travel back to the early 90s when malls like this might’ve have been passable. Some of the shops (and their proprietors) are lovely to visit, but I suspect the narrow band of offerings and condition of the mall means it’s owners don’t see a point in it beyond the next few years? Just a guess…

    Another great mall. No more needs to be said. One of many malls on Orchid. Best way to get there is by train.

  • 4/5 Wee Gim hong (. 1 year ago on Google
    I like the quiet environment it have here as usually I do not like people staring at me. Not crowded! I like the food here, (eg. McDonalds, Kind Kones). However, the bad thing is that I really disliked the restroom it have there. Maybe they should renovate it to make the restroom more cleaning and a bit more spacious.☺️

    Feedback for improvement There is lots of dengue mosquitoes at drop off point areas. There are lots of kids attending enrichment here. Further their escalator is broken down for almost 2 years and keep repairing…

    Forum The Shopping Mall offers a diverse retail experience, with a wide range of shops and eateries. The mall's modern design and spacious layout provide a pleasant shopping environment. However, parking can be challenging during peak hours. The variety of brands and dining options make it a convenient destination for both shopping and dining enthusiasts. Keep an eye out for seasonal promotions and events to enhance your overall experience at Forum.

    This is a small shopping mall at orchard, opposite orchard Tower. We hardly go to this mall, but it has a few restaurants and cafes, especially if you like coffee bean franchise cafe, like in the old days 😄. I don't think there are any retail shops here, but it's nice to meet up for kopi, if you prefer not so crowded shopping mall. We went there for dinner, so it has a few restaurants there. 😊 eating and drinking kopi ☕️

  • 3/5 Jonathan C. 8 months ago on Google • 132 reviews
    A rather quiet and old mall against the backdrop of more modern malls along Orchard Road. There are pretty good F&B outlets here, but patronage seems lacking due to the location and age of the mall. The selection of shops seems limited too – a pity, since those that are there look promising.

  • 5/5 Eugene 2 months ago on Google • 45 reviews New
    This is more of a place to chill than to shop. You can find cosy coffee/ice-cream places here. The restaurants are also pretty decent. The crowd here comprises mostly families with young kids, because their kids are here for enrichment. Otherwise, on a weekday afternoon or weekend evening, it can be a quiet place to hang out with some friends.

  • 4/5 Samantha C. 5 years ago on Google • 27 reviews
    Great mall for kids, a whole floor dedicated to kids shops/activities, another floor with Toys R Us and another floor with schools - Julia Gabriel and Chiltern House. Pretty convenient, located at the start of Orchard Road, so the hustle and bustle is still controllable and manageable. Great options for food too, though they are either slightly pricey or fast food. Two 24 hour shops - Coffee Bean and Macdonalds, if you ever have a late night hunger pang. Also filled with a lot of designer shops - even for little kids - Kids 21, a little excessive and pricey, but you’ll find them all here

  • 3/5 Mel C. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice location but the category of the stuff they sell here has not changed for so long. A good retail relevance review is due.

  • 4/5 Li Hsing G. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this mall, not so busy like the rest of orchard road yet they have some of the healthiest and most delicious eateries here. Kind kones for superb vegan ice cream (I'm not vegan but this works for me).

  • 4/5 Himansu S. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 violet C. 1 year ago on Google
    My friends have recommended Arium Clinic to me and I am glad I listened. Very happy of the results! Definitely will recommend to my friend !

  • 1/5 Wim R. 2 years ago on Google
    Today I went to the information desk to ask for a parking ticket as I visited one of the clinics . The 2 ladies told me that they will not help me as it is not 10am yet. It is ridiculous and a complete lack of customer service that both ladies sit there but do not want to help a customer . All clinics open at 9 but they only want to give parking tickets as off 10am. Forum management should review the way they serve their customers !

  • 5/5 Jerrick T. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place to hang out near end of the orchard road. You can find EAT noodles and McDonald’s here as well. Quiet too !

  • 2/5 Francis C. 1 year ago on Google
    The toilets are broken and left unrepaired. The escalators going up from B1 to Level 2 seem to be taking forever to be repaired / replaced. The management does not seem to acknowledge the need for repairs since their tenant mix draws a captive audience of children’s enrichment classes and services.

  • 1/5 David K. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the mall with loads of children activities, pack with parents each week. The reason why this is 1 star, it says a lot about the management office when a hand dryer and urine bowl are not working for more than 6 months, and social distancing is incorrectly marked. This is completely not kids friendly and I do hope many of the amazing retail in this shopping mall go to somewhere better suits their profile!

  • 4/5 Dan 3 years ago on Google
    Old mall with function focused shops and some good restaurants like horses mouth and jade palace. One of the easier places to get parking in town which is good.

    Forum The Shopping Mall is a family-oriented mall that boasts a unique mix of stores and eateries. Located at Singapore’s main shopping belt, Orchard Road, it is a mere 5-minute walk away from Orchard MRT station.Mostly shops with kids clothes and toys, children’s doctor and small play ground which cost a fee to use.

    The mall is home to a variety of fashion and lifestyle brands, ranging from high-end luxury brands to more affordable options. There are also several beauty and wellness outlets, as well as a cinema, making it a great place to spend a day out with friends or family.

  • 5/5 Mahathir M. 11 months ago on Google
    Not too big mall to begin with. Its nice with a small garden. Was there for carrot cake and coffee bean.. Sitting down busking and feel relaxed because it's not too exposed to the hustle and bustle of the town area. This place is frequent by families with kids as there are a few some sort of child care or turion place at the top floor. This mall is for one to retreat from the busy city atmosphere, to relax and take a short break.

    One of the first and oldest malls, yet it’s maintained it’s status with good array of shopping, food and entertainment avenues. The PVR is the best screen in my opinion and with IMAX and 4DX options it makes it a must for cinephiles.

  • 3/5 Michael P. 11 months ago on Google
    Forum The Shopping Mall is fine and has a decent selection of stores and restaurants, but I really feel like this place is past it's prime. It doesn't feel like it's been especially well maintained over the years. One of my biggest problems with this place is the location of the lifts for the office tower....their not accessible from the mall unless you walk outside or through dirty hallways that feel like their meant for cleaners and other workers. Once you get to the lifts, you see there are four of them, but because there are so many offices upstairs, people are constantly stopping the lifts on almost every floor. There's a particular problem I've experienced before in the B2 carpark lift lobby where I had to wait around 5 minutes (not exaggerating) for the lift to arrive. And when it finally stops at B2, it'll inevitably be going down to B3 to drop off the last few people. But because the lift has taken so long reach B3, there's a bunch of people waiting to get in after loading up everyone and returning to B2 again, you see there's no space to get into the lift you've waited so long for. That happened to me once. The next time I almost happened, I went go in at B2, rode down to B3, and then watched as it stopped again at B2 with no space for anyone else to get in. Very frustrating for those who don't expect this to happen. It's too late to redesign Forum Mall; I really think the original architects messed the place up for years to come. But whoever maintains Forum now could probably do better keeping it clean. A bit of refurbishment/remodeling would go a long way here.

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting Forum The Shopping Mall and it was an absolute delight! This upscale mall offers a fantastic shopping experience with its wide range of high-end stores and unique boutiques. From fashion to accessories, I found a plethora of trendy and stylish options that catered to all my preferences. The mall's elegant and well-designed layout made navigating between stores a breeze. The staff were friendly and helpful, providing excellent customer service throughout my visit. Additionally, the variety of dining options available ensured that I had a delicious meal to refuel during my shopping spree. With its convenient location and exceptional offerings, Forum The Shopping Mall is a must-visit destination for all shopaholics!

  • 5/5 Junior D D. 11 months ago on Google
    It’s one of the older shopping malls along the glitz of Orchard road, it still retains a uniqueness that you would not find in the bigger brothers along the street. Club 95, Jamie Oliver’s and Yoshi are my favourites on the block. It’s both kids and adult friendly mall to keep everyone happy.

  • 3/5 Jaslyn L. 3 years ago on Google
    Restaurants are generally expensive here. Also it is inconvenient for shoppers to access the mall as most of the doors are locked. Good thing is that there is McDonald's here. Update 19 Jun 2020: I do not like the arrangement that exit and entrance is at a separate location. Personally I prefer to be able to exit from the main entrance as it is more convenient. It also doesn’t make sense that the side entrance is for exit only, as people who come by taxi, private hire vehicle or own transport would alight there, since it is not convenient to stop by the main road. If both points allow entry and exit, it will be more convenient for shoppers.

  • 4/5 Ice Q. 4 years ago on Google
    You know, it is all right over here. A clustery-feeling mall with some shops that include some food and beverage offerings, gifts, clothing, etc. I like how it is sort of a roundabout so you don't get lost. Just remember what store you saw when you came in and it'll be there for you after you walk around browsing. Shopkeepers here are thankfully not aggressive either, despite all the tourists swarming from time to time. A pretty good place, just not huge.
