The Garden Resort: A tranquil haven within a mall

What makes Starmall Alabang stand out from its competitors is the fully equipped resort featuring amenities situated at the rooftop of the mall. The Garden Resort is the perfect getaway where one can relax and unwind without leaving the city. The resort houses three avant-garde pools — a wading pool for kids, a lap pool, and a family pool and two large gazebos — making it an ideal place for those who want to enjoy a swimming holiday but do not wish to go far.

Its accessibility and the convenience of being in a mall enable shoppers to enjoy the security and wholesome shopping experience that Starmall Alabang offers.

Starland Theme Park: Where kids rule

For kids, nothing beats the excitement of being on the driver’s seat … of a bump car, that is! The experience not only gives them the freedom to be in control of themselves but also teaches them the importance of wearing seatbelts — to avoid injuries when they get hit or bumped — in a fun way. Starland Theme Park is undoubtedly the favorite hangout of kids who want to go on a joy ride. This extensive amusement center boasts an excellent mix of a number of children’s rides such as a roller coaster, train, merry-go-round, Ferris wheel, carousel, and bump cars. The Sky Rail tops the list. The Sky Rail is suspended atop the themepark that takes passengers all the way outside the mall and provides a clear view of the Alabang skyline and the Laguna de Bay. At Starland Theme Park, children’s safety is of utmost importance. Ride operators regularly conduct maintenance check to ensure that the rides are in top condition. They also perform safety procedures (double check if the lock of, say, the roller coaster seat is secured) before they start the engine.

Starmall Cinemas: Movie break

With HD TVs, Blu-Ray and high-quality surround sound dominating one’s entertainment system at home, movie houses know that we need a good reason to go out and spend a huge sum on cinema tickets rather than stay at home and watch the latest blockbuster flick.
