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.Facts For Your Visit

Eaton Centre Toronto Reviews
Rated
We were visiting Toronto and did not plan to visit this mall. However, the weather in Toronto was hotter than expected, making this mall a good place to hang out for a heated afternoon.
I was surprised in a pleasant way that there were not shops that sold luxurious designer brands. Not that I shopped at expensive places, but I assumed that she to its prime location in downtown.
I enjoyed watching the sign of one of the food halls while waiting for my friend. The words kept changing and spinning! There were also a decent selection of restaurants.
I was also glad that we got some nice shoes shopping done. They basically had as many brands as you could think of. There was a recycle collection box at The North Face. Uniqlo was huge there!

This place is a great tourist spot for new comers. But it is packed and super busy.
Eaton centre got its name from Timothy Eaton goes really deep in 1950s history.
The shops no longer sell any extremely boogie items, as they don’t cater to the products of my preference. But all in all still a splendid place.

This mall is massive, it looked like there are some renovations on the very bottom floor. However, you can find food on the second floor. Other than that, it’s your standard mail with clothes, accessories, gifts, etc. I like the open glass on the ceiling and it is definitely one of the better looking malls I’ve been to. The entrance that we came in from had some interactive displays that are worth checking out especially if you have kids. We just took a Lyft here but it is a very busy area if you’re driving.

I had the best experience ever,
And that is way: my friend forgot his cell phone at check point and we continue our way till we went up, and then he noticed that he lost his phone, the security team was so helpful and try must the can to help us. So we had our way down to reach the checkpoint again, and they gave us the phone, so after that, we lost our tickets already. They were so kind to let us go back again and enjoy the view up there,
The view was wonderful, team so kind and helpful, this is a wonderful experience (and it's was first time to )
Thanks for everyone work there

The mall is massive and has everything you need. Lots of excellent places to grab a meal. Amazing selection of retail stores.
This place is more than just a shopping centre, but a whole art gallery. A fun place to visit.
