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 4.4 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating Nov2024 Arguably the largest mall in Toronto which carries the most extensive Canadian brand stores (large outlets as well) as well as other international ones. This multi-level property is huge and expansive and is spacious enough to hold one of the tallest indoor Christmas trees ever. Best of all it is accessible by the PATH system. A must for tourists but also a frequent destination for locals.

5 Star Rating The Eaton Centre is right in the middle of all the action downtown. It has all the best stores, so you can definitely find what you need. Plus, it's super clean and has tons of food options. They even have two food courts, which is perfect for a quick bite. It's definitely the place to be!

4 Star Rating My wife and I wanted to bring the kids to see downtown Toronto while we're down in the area. We got to bring back some real authentic Canadian Maple Syrup. It wasn't until my wife brought to my attention that this mall doesn't have benches in front of the stores to sit like American malls do. I also noticed I haven't seen any BBL's or plastic surgeon nightmares like when I stroll through the mall in Paramus. I wasn't too crazy about finding parking and my card didn't work going out so that became a headache. I would definitely come back and checkout some more stores. I also saw a couple Christmas caroling in the mall. I will say and my wife backed me up that Toronto is very clean compared to NYC.

5 Star Rating The CF Toronto Eaton Centre is a massive shopping mall and iconic landmark located in downtown Toronto, Canada. A hub for locals and tourists alike, this architectural marvel features a sleek, glass-covered atrium that allows natural light to illuminate its interior. The most striking visual feature inside is the “Flight Stop” sculpture by Michael Snow, depicting a flock of Canada geese in mid-flight. As one of the busiest malls in North America, the Eaton Centre houses a wide variety of shops, from high-end brands to everyday stores, along with dining options catering to diverse tastes. The mall also connects to the PATH, Toronto’s underground pedestrian network, making it a convenient destination during all seasons. For visitors, the Eaton Centre is more than just a shopping venue—it offers a vibrant urban experience, blending modern design with the bustle of downtown Toronto.

5 Star Rating This shopping mall is huge! I came from Vancouver, and we definitely don't have such a big mall there. I was easily able to see most of the brands in one place and shop comfortably. I really loved it!
