About SM Mall of Asia

SM Mall of Asia is one of the largest shopping malls in Asia and the Philippines' most visited destination, covering 42 hectares with over 600 shops, a 1,200-seat IMAX theater, an Olympic-sized ice skating rink, and a waterfront boardwalk overlooking Manila Bay. The complex attracts over 200,000 visitors daily and serves as a city within a city.

The mall is organized into four main buildings connected by walkways: the Main Mall, Entertainment Mall, South Wing, and the newly expanded North Wing. Beyond retail, the complex houses the SMX Convention Center (one of Manila's largest event venues), the Mall of Asia Arena (a 20,000-seat venue hosting concerts and basketball games), and the Manila Bay area dining strip with dozens of restaurants offering bay sunset views.

The MOA complex has become a complete entertainment destination with its own Ferris wheel (MOA Eye), a science museum (Mind Museum in the adjacent Bonifacio Global City area), go-kart tracks, bowling alleys, and seasonal events including a massive Christmas light display and New Year's Eve fireworks. The surrounding Bay City area is developing rapidly with condominium towers, hotels, and the new Solaire, City of Dreams, and Okada Manila integrated resort-casinos.
