Eaton Centre Toronto
Toronto's Eaton Centre located Downtown is Eastern Canada\'s largest shopping mall
One of the most popular shopping destinations in North America, Eaton Centre in downtown Toronto grew out of the now defunct Eaton's department store chain that once held much of the land on which it is built.
Timothy Eaton purchased a dry goods business on Yonge Street in 1869 and the Eatons family business grew rapidly from there. The first phase of today's Eaton Centre was opened in 1977. While the Eaton's 'empire' entered bankruptcy in 1999, there are still shopping malls carrying it's name in several Canadian Cities.
Today this shopping centre and office complex is the fourth largest in Canada. It features multiple levels with a galleria style vaulted glass ceiling, a design which has been copied in various forms in malls throughout North America. The centre is also connected to a 17 storey Marriott hotel.
The mall offers over 230 stores, restaurants and services including two food courts. Major retailers include Best Buy, Canadian Tire, H & M, Zara and Saks Fith Avenue. Canada's largest 'flagship' Hudson Bay store is not in the mall, but connected via a covered pedestrian walkway.
Getting to Eaton Centre by public transit is easy with the mall stretching between Queen and Dundas Subway Stations.

Eaton Centre Toronto Reviews
Rated out of 5
I was impressed at how big this shopping centre is. There are a lot of stores of all kinds; high to low end. Although there was a lot of people everywhere, place looks clean and well organized. If you need to go somewhere else in the city, public transit is just within walking distance. Food court and bathrooms are nice and clean taking into consideration place has a lot of foot traffic.

We had a great time visiting the CF Toronto Eaton Centre! Coming from New-Brunswick where shopping centres are much smaller, it was exciting to explore such a large and vibrant mall. There are so many stores to choose from, something for everyone, from big brand names to unique shops. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, and the variety of food options made it easy to take a break and grab a bite while shopping. The city itself is full of energy, and this mall fits right into that lively vibe. It was a fun and memorable experience for our whole family!

The CF Toronto Eaton Centre is a large shopping mall and office complex in downtown Toronto, Canada. It was built in 1977 and named after the former Eaton's department store chain. It is known for its glass ceiling and the "Flight Stop" geese sculpture. The Eaton Centre is North America's busiest shopping mall, attracting millions of visitors each year. It is also the second largest mall in Canada, with over 230 stores and restaurants. It is accessible via two subway stations and is close to Union Station. The Eaton Centre also features the Urban Eatery, a large food court.

I visited CF Toronto Eaton Centre today and really enjoyed my time there. The mall is very nice with a wide variety of stores and plenty of options for shopping. It was quite busy and crowded, but that just shows how popular it is. Overall, it’s a great place to shop and spend time in downtown Toronto.
