Since it opened in 2016, Vista Mall Bataan has given residents here one big beautiful destination whose offerings run the whole gamut from retail, restaurants, services to entertainment and leisure. Not only did it provide a better and more exciting shopping and dining experience to mallgoers here, it has also given new spaces where they can meet up with friends, enjoy music with the family, or discover new passions, interests and pursuits.
