No queues, no crowds in our early after lunch visit to the Ayala Museum. Reception at ticket booth was helpful and friendly. We started with the temporary exhibit of Mark Lewis Lim Higgins on the ground floor. It was a fascinating mixture of his paintings in an installation of some kind of rich warehouse, overflowing with silks, ceramics, gold and spices reminiscent of what were exported during the galleon trade. The muted atmosphere, the dim lights, the scent of incense and spices transported us to another time and place! Then we went up to the 4th floor to marvel at the gold collection: objects dug up mainly in Agusan and testimony to the extraordinary skill of local goldsmiths of the 10th - 13th centuries. The excellent ceramic collection of Roberto Villanueva held our attention for its scope, its richness and its beauty. A well-designed diorama, a narrative in a nutshell, traces the history of the Philippines from prehistoric times to the present. It was a well-spent and profitable afternoon!

there is a chapel in the middle of the shopping Mall. The Chapel is like a big open air church with a huge sail over the top for protection from the weather.

A patch of green and inspired public art in the center of the business district. Free wifi throughout the park
Reviewed By Aruba1204 - Oxford, United States
Ayala Triangle Gardens is a very scenic 2-hectare triangular park located in the Makati Central Business District. It is owned by Ayala Land, a major land and building developer in the Philippines. This park is in the immediate vicinity of two major hotels, The Peninsula and the Makati Shangri-La. The park is a very pleasant place for walking, jogging and sight-seeing. Ayala is building a huge new beautiful complex of residential and commercial space buildings at the edge of the park and when this is completed it will add to the appeal of the park. A very relaxed and beautifully landscaped area that is well worth a visit. A line of restaurants that used to be opened have mostly closed as part of the park renovation.

Even though I have been to this mall dozen if not hundreds of times, I can’t seem to navigate the place without getting lost. Like any other malls here in Metro Manila, you will definitely find anything that your heart’s desire in this place. Located in the heart of the City of Makati, it is expected that the roads going here will have heavy traffic and sometimes getting a place to park (for 4 wheel vehicles) can be a pain in the a**. Congested traffic aside, this place is great. You can find a variety of food establishment from cheap eats to fine dining. In addition, there are also recreational things to do like cinemas and such. And don’t forget the different boutique for clothes and footwear to choose from. Pros: -Variety of shops and services -Near the MRT Ayala station (train station) -Near different hotels and inns Cons: -If you don’t like crowded place avoid going here during rush hours (6pm – 8pm) -Limited parking P.S There are also malls connected to this place (SM, Landmark and Greenbelt) if you got bored and want to find something else.
