Visitors can explore a mix of international and local brands, from fashion boutiques to electronics stores, alongside a diverse range of restaurants and cafes. The complex also houses a cinema, an aquarium, and regular live performances, making it a popular destination for both daytime shopping and evening outings. Its design encourages leisurely strolls, and the lake area is particularly lively in warmer months, with paddle boats and outdoor seating.
