PLC Panorama — Local services in Vilnius

Good shopping mall. Activities for young toddlers - especially the toy train ride for 1.50 euros for kids and 2 euros for adults - a must if you are with small kids. It's on the upper level and goes all the way from one end to another and back. Only downside is the play area for kids is not safe from health and safety issues. The play area doesn't have floor foam mattresses as you will see in England. If a baby or toddler tip over and fell on head. It may cause a major problem. It's literally felling your head first or elbow on to a concrete slab. Mall management must invest in foam mattresses. I will write an email and you should too email or write on their Facebook to make them aware of this serious health and safety issue. Lot of eateries in their food court especially Thierry (inexpensive tasty cake selection and their hot cacao drink) panavija (little expensive) and Ali Shokoladian (expensive). Rimi is in there. The mall is in business district so gets busy during lunch hours. You can find almost all big brands here. Close to the town and accessible via buses so easy to travel....

We’re not usually fans of shopping malls – give us a day outside over a shopping trip anytime. But when errands can’t wait, the Panorama Mall has been a decent option, especially with kids. Their rest area for little visitors on the 2nd floor has been a helpful find for us.

The space has a lot going for it: a kitchenette for warming snacks, private nursing cabins, a changing room, toddler-sized toilets, and a cozy play area for kids. It’s free and open daily from 10:00 to 21:00, which makes it convenient for quick pit stops.

However, we can’t help but feel disappointed by the addition of a screen in this area. Instead of encouraging active play or creativity, the screen feels like a lazy distraction. Especially since the play area itself is quite small, it would’ve been so much better to have more space for climbing, exploring, or interactive toys. It’s a missed opportunity to create a space that truly caters to little ones' needs.

While it’s a useful stop during errands, it’s not...

The shopping center is located between the two major roads in Vilnius and is easily accessible by car from any part of the city. Parking in the underground garage is spacious and convenient. Indicators on the ceiling show the location of free spaces. The mall features boutiques of most major brands and some restaurants to satisfy a wide range of preferences. The layout of the second floor is not very convenient in my opinion, because you have block of boutiques in the centre and two blocks of boutiques facing its opposite sides. The center and the sides are separated by a gallery and you can cross from side to side only in certain places. Also this means, that to reach the boutiques on the opposite side of the central block, you have to make a full circle, as there is no passage through the central section. I am perfectly aware that this is intentional and it is supposed to "help" you spend the hard earned money, but it is never the...
