The lower floor has a grocery store and a food court. Most of the floors above that are lined with stores or with restaurants. The back in the front of the mall on all the floors except for the bottom floors have viewing decks. It’s worth seeing the view from both sides but the side that faces Burnham park and lake is the side that the new SM Sky Garden is on. The view from that side, the backside, is quite amazing.
