10. My opinion…
I think it's fantastic, it has everything you need. You can go to the amusement park and then go out
and buy the best clothing brands in the world.
It seems impossible to find in one place, an ice rink, a golf course, a water park and the most famous
chain restaurants in this mall but this is possible
In my opinion we should have buildings like that in Colombia, where the malls, the stores are not
only clothing, food, etc. Have more attractions for visitors.
