MAKATI CITY — A new world of virtual reality, XR devices, and interactive digital experiences has officially arrived in the heart of Makati. Located at Glorietta 4, Mettacity is the Philippines' first immersive digital amusement universe, a high‑tech playground where technology meets imagination. General Manager Christine Ola Bolanos explained that this immersive destination marks the first Mettacity location in the country, designed to offer a one‑of‑a‑kind virtual adventure for guests of all ages.
Over 50 Attractions for All Ages
The venue features more than 50 futuristic attractions, including interactive sensor-based games, augmented reality (AR) zones, and photobooths. Bolanos described the attraction as a vibrant playground that blends innovation, creativity, and interactive experiences to deliver a unique virtual adventure. From high‑energy sensor games to more relaxed interactive installations, the expansive arcade is designed to cater to diverse interests and age groups. The space is intended to be a destination where families, friends, and solo visitors can explore cutting‑edge digital entertainment.
Exclusive Online Ticketing Partnership
Mettacity has designated TicketWorld as its exclusive online ticketing partner, a collaboration that commenced on March 1, 2026. This partnership shifts the venue toward a digital‑first commerce model, integrating with TicketWorld's established transaction platform to eliminate traditional friction points of physical entry. Under the new system, guests can reserve specific dates and times online, a feature intended to help the venue manage capacity while providing visitors with guaranteed access. This digital approach allows guests to bypass long ticket queues and proceed directly to the immersive entertainment zones.
Convenience, Security, and a Broader Trend
A primary goal of the partnership is to simplify the consumer journey from discovery to entry, making it easier, faster, and more convenient for guests to secure their tickets in just a few clicks. Security also remains a central focus, with TicketWorld's infrastructure providing transaction security that protects consumer data and reduces the risk of ticket fraud. The move highlights a broader industry trend toward "phygital" integration, where physical experiences are managed through digital assets, as the digital entertainment sector continues to expand in the Philippines.
A Destination for Diverse Groups
The venue is positioning itself as a primary destination for the local leisure market, targeting diverse demographics including families, corporate groups for team‑building exercises, and social "barkada" outings. By digitizing the entry process, Mettacity aims to drive higher conversion rates among younger, tech‑savvy Filipino consumers. The attraction is conveniently located at Glorietta 4, making it easily accessible for both local residents and tourists exploring Makati.
