Plaza Balikpapan is the first shopping mall in Balikpapan which is considered a family mall with the concept of providing all family needs in one place. This mall is known for facilities like the CGV movie theatre, Starbucks, McDonald’s, Matahari, Borneo Bay, and many more.
Borneo Bay, which is an apartment complex attached to the mall, is the place I often visit. The reason being my parents owning a few units in the apartment. On the other hand, I would go to Plaza Balikpapan to lounge and eat after I had helped my parents with cleaning up the apartment units. After I had eaten, I’d take a walk around the mall, which has a calmer atmosphere because it is not as crowded as E-walk or Pentacity. In contrast to the nice things about the mall, the only things that could be better is if they had more restaurants with higher qualities and more diverse stores.
