But did you know that you can do all that and more at Ayala Malls Central Bloc?
It is the second Ayala mall in Cebu, which opened in 2019, 20 years after the first one. Its name is based on its location, which is at the dead center of Cebu IT Park.
It has common mall amenities like a supermarket, a spacious food court, several retail outlets, and their very own state-of-the-art Ayala Central Bloc Cinema. However, this Ayala mall stands out as a go-to venue for several fun things to do in Cebu.
The mall houses several facilities like a gym, a few obstacle courses, parks, and venues for all kinds of recreational activities. These are also ideal if you want to relax and unwind after a long and busy day.
That being said, here are some exciting activities you can take part in at the mall.
RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES AT AYALA MALLS CENTRAL BLOC

The establishment is the first to have an indoor golf course in the country, and their branch at Central Bloc is their third. It has a total of 27 golf cups, with a glow-in-the-dark design and a bunch of challenging obstacles.
At Php 500 per person, this can be a great venue and activity for date night or as a hangout spot with family and friends.

- I Sports Trampoline Park
On the third level of the mall is Cebu’s only trampoline park that will surely bring out your inner child.

It relieves stress, making it the perfect day-ender. It can also lower your resting heart rate, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. As a result, I Sports can be a fun workout spot for groups of friends.
The space has a dozen trampolines, some being more challenging because of their surroundings or inclines. The area also has ball pits, a mini wall-climbing course, and a slide.

This is the first indoor roller rink in Cebu, letting customers experience roller-skating with beginner-friendly amenities, including complete safety gear and skate trainers.
It’s one of the more budget-friendly recreational activities at the mall, at only Php 149 per hour. It’s perfect for families as the calm nature of the activity can be great for bonding for parents and children.
