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.

    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.

    Large clean shopping mall
    The Eaton centre is Toronto biggest indoor mall. Great selection of stores from mid range to high end designer shops. Good food hall and connected to other sites including our hotel by the Path

    Great for a rainy or cold day
    My husband & I enjoyed walking around this very crowded & clean mall. Much to see & buy, meet up with family & friends, & walk for exercise when cold/rainy. We didn’t stay long because there is much more that we wanted to see in the downtown area.

    Not an Ordinary Mall
    Almost did not go. It was an enjoyable surprise. This mall is very busy especially compared to my hometown mall which is almost dead. I did not see any empty stores. Spent three hours until we ran out of steam. Definitely would recommend because it is different than any other mall.

    Still going (and growing) strong
    As a Western New York native - and regular visitor to Toronto - I knew the Eaton Centre as a classy and happening mall. Decades later, it is still going strong, even as malls are in serious decline. Busy, interesting and lots of unique (and high-end) stores.

    Still a great shopping mall
    This is a large, multi leveled, indoor shopping mall. It consists of several floors, making up for 200 stores. On the first level is food court. There are dozens of restaurants to choose from. If you’re coming by subway, Queen and Dundas stations will get you fairly close to the Eaton Center.

    Toronto is a formidable city, even under a heat of 30 degrees. Organized, clean and full of food options and cultural activities. A really spectacular place. The area around the lake (lake shore) besides beautiful is perfect for those who like to cycle or run! I recommend going to Danforth to get to know the differentiated trade and the atmosphere of fairytale town. Cherry beach is another point of the city to not miss. And for those who are more willing to move on the highways after good wines, a trip to Niagara On The Lake might be the best part of the trip. Everything asks to plan a return.

    Better than Yorkdale
    I recommend this over the soulless Yorkdale mall. Whereas the latter is row upon row of expensive designer clothes shops with few distractions, Eaton has enough small shops, food retailers etc to make it interesting. Because it's central it's easy to pop out of as well if you want to leave a partner to do their shopping and meet up again later. The food court is also impressive with a wide range of outlets selling reasonably priced fare.

    Seriously, who came up with the interactive maps.
    Okay, I'm old school. Way back when, a half dozen people could look at a mall map at the same time, find where they were, and where the store they were looking for is, figure out the direction, and be on there way in a matter of a few seconds. Now, with the interactive map, one person at a time can enter the name of the store they're looking for, and then a description of the store pops up. (This is a great feature since many times I've known the name of the store I was specifically going to, but didn't know what they sell). Then some strange graphic pops up to tell you what level you are on, with lines going showing where the store is. The lines don't have any real reference to direction, nor do they actually show where you are nor the store you're looking for, so at this point most people look away from the map and try to look if they are able to see the store they are looking for. After some time of looking at the map, and then up and down the mall, they move on, and the process is repeated for the next person trying to find their way. Honestly, I gound it faster to walk through the entire mall to find my destination. Other than that, it's a nice mall. But, as they say, when you've seen one, you've seen the mall.

CF Toronto Eaton Centre delivers with four floors, three for shopping and one for dining. I was extremely amazed by the humongous food court that is found in the basement or first floor, where you can find a diverse number of restaurant from different ethnicities. It was just overwhelming, but worth for every palate. In addition, there are a lot of shops in the next three levels to meet every need and allows to pass the time, especially in the harsh winter season. I would definitely spend one to two hours here, excluding the food court below. It is definitely a place worth exploring out!

We’ve been to this mall several times and are always impressed with it. This large, indoor shopping mall is located right in the heart of Toronto. They have everything from smaller retail shops to larger department stores. The is very handicapped friendly with many ramps for wheelchairs, as well as numerous elevators. After you’re done shopping, be sure to stop by the lower lever for something to eat at the food court. We usually stop for gelato before going to the Apple store. With the cold weather outside, the mall can certainly be nice for a leisurely stroll to escape the frigid air. Their is certainly something for everyone here at the Eaton Centre.

As a teenager it was exciting to come to the big city and shop at the Eaton Centre, mainly because of all the stores that weren’t available in my hometown. As an adult, it feels no different than many other malls I’ve been in with similar chain stores. This can certainly serve a purpose but it’s not really something I’d suggest going out of your way for - maybe if the weather is junk but you want to get out you could come here.

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.

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

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.

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.
