The area
Address
Neighborhood: Downtown
At the heart of Toronto, Downtown is the destination for cheap eats and fast fashion. Cut through by hip and trendy Yonge Street, the vibe here is young, with a strong student influence from the Ryerson University Campus. As a result, the Downtown area is always in flux: undergoing the construction of new facilities, with fresh retail spaces and pop-up cafes. Home to Toronto's largest indoor shopping mall, a number of vintage cinemas, and a healthy nightlife centered on the area's Distillery District bar and clubs near the East End, it's both an easygoing daytime spot and a popular party place after sunset. It also features some of Toronto's best outdoor landmarks, including Yonge-Dundas Square and the Nathan Phillips Square: perfect for a concert, a skate, or a relaxing sit-down.

    Lots to see
    The mall has tons of good shops and lots to see and do. It’s a good location. There’s quite a bit of construction around. I found it difficult to navigate to find where I wanted to go and would have appreciated a better map.

    Nice mall. Really big. Great shops and restaurants.
    Nice mall. Really big place. Hard to find out way around. Ended up getting outside to walk around the block to find out way back to the hotel. Great shops & restaurants. People very nice. Great way to spend a poor air quality day!

    Great downtown shopping for pedestrians and transit commuters
    It’s a huge mall with every kind of store you could ever want. Crazy easy to get to by transit. It’s central to the downtown core so it’s walkable from a lot of other attractions. However, it’s a zoo on weekends and the WORST near Christmas. Don’t even think about trying to drive there unless you want to spend 30 mins trying to find a $50 parking spot

    Shopping at the Toronto Eaton Centre Mall
    Shopping Mall of Shopping malls! I'm preparing for a trip to Stockholm and then Andalucia in September. No better place to go shopping than the Toronto Eaton Centre! I found some minimalist running shoes. lightweight and small and not too expensive . So I'm ready to go. The Eaton Centre as it is known to locals is a large mall . a bit upscale and expensive and fashionable. Stewart

    Big shopping mall
    Really big shopping centre in the middle.of Toronto. Easy access and all.the stops you can think of. Ends in Dundas Square which is a must you don't want to miss. Also has an entrance to the Path though we couldn't find it.

    Very large indoor shopping complex
    Most shopping centres are the same - multiple shops, multiple levels (or not), maybe a cinema complex, a food court and washrooms. This centre has it all! We tend to avoid spending too much time in them! What drew us into this centre was to see the Canada Geese in flight sculpture. It's an impressive sight with 60 life-size Canada geese suspended below the glass roof. The centre is easily accessible and links to the PATH.

    Huge shopping centre
    Eaton centre is a massive shopping mall, with hundreds of shops and a huge food court which smells amazing with food from kfc to ramen. Our visit was close to Xmas and the decorations and tree were very good. We shopped for a few hours and eat ramen and shawarma both were very tasty for a food court. It was earlier in the day when we visited so it was quiet to start with but quickly got busy. Well worth a visit we managed to get some bargains in the sales.

    Eaton Centre, you make scaffolding look good!
    An after-work experience. I had popped into Eaton Centre late night just before closing, and wow it has been a long time. Nostalgic memories from young when our family would venture down here during the summer months before going to Lakeshore Park to enjoy picnics we'd always stop in to do some last-minute shopping and throughout the years, I would frequent the Joey's here. Now I'm here and looking for Roots to pick up a few hoodies for my Fiance's nephew. Firstly, Eaton Centre seems to have started a facelift which did not hinder my experience at all, thanks to the clear signage, and engaging anecdotes displayed along the way. My mission was to go to Roots and visible signage placed on the scaffolding. It drove me around to see what the facelift was about. On that stroll, out of simple curiosity, I see how many businesses are here thriving and still humming. Workers/store employees don't look depressed, customers who belong here appear to be here and the occasional rif raf but that is expected in this part of Toronto. The attention to detail and the thought process for me are very impressive. As a programmer, everything is in the details. Details matter when you want convenience. I am so impressed I managed to take a few pictures. The scaffolding and help in marketing the team at CF must be tirelessly keeping up with demands from the business I can imagine is endless but it is appreciated in the results. This is impressive. Clear, concise. Even on the eve of Chinese New Year. The decor was eye catching, everyone is taking pictures, and might I say, unique it is. Very "luxue" and I shared the pic with my fiance who said we are bringing her brother's kids down this weekend. Yorkdale, Eaton Centre (i.e Oxford and CF) really know what they are doing. Good job, an accolade well deserved.

The Eaton center is located connected to 2 TTC train stations. Overall layout is great. 3 floors of retail and food.

Not enough elevators though. Especially since most of the elevators are used for one of the parking garages. and its difficult to go to parking thru stairs.
Huge issue during rush hours for people with wheel chairs and families with kids in strollers.

Positive is that in one of the garages, they have Tesla super chargers and other electric car chargers too. Parking is a bit expensive though. It's a pain sometimes cuz people with regular cars park in the tesla changing spots.

During lunch time there is hardly any parking to be found in both garages.

Well managed and clean mall. It has everything.

You can still see those 'flying Canadian geese' as the decoration inside this mall with the sunroof and stuff. I first saw them when I was kid and it hasn't changed for many many years. Its old name was Eaton Center, by the way.

This well known shopping gallery has been around a very long time, and its seen its share of lean times, down time, and has weathered those.times well. You have to give it to them....they recreate themselves regularly, expertly, and effectively. It's still as vital, useful, and as pleasant a place to spend time as ever. The soaring height of the glass roof, its vaulted spaces, the way its organized (elegant shops ground floor, food courts down low out of the paths to keep noise minimal, and less expensive stores in between) and the cleanliness of all spaces point to a management company that knows its stuff.

I had some solo time to kill while my daughter attended a dance program in Toronto. I realized that the Eaton was within walking distance and spent an afternoon there. It was quite crowded since it was just after Boxing Day and a lot of the stores were having sales. There’s a terrific selection of stores and the food court area is large with tons of options. Will definitely return with my teen daughter on our next trip to Toronto.

Despite the amount of building work being done at the Queen Street end, this mall is still worth visiting. A large variety of shops to browse and the centre is clean and well maintained.
Direct links to the subway station and to the PATH underground walkway, Eaton Centre is an easy place to get to. My biggest disappointment was the closure of the Duke of Richmond pub on the outside of the centre near the old city hall.

Very beautiful mall. Although it is very overwhelming and stuffy, it has a great selection of stores.

Big issue with parking though, almost impossible to park here without dropping over 20 bucks just to walk around a mall!!

Years ago it was a great place to shop as all the stores were highly visible and easy to find. For some years now it has accumulated a lot of small shopping stops in the open areas and it has become difficult to navigate and find the stores one is seeking. Also, the display boards of the stores' locations have become computerized and the stores' locations are very difficult to find and identify.
