You can get the idea from my photos, it is a rather compact urban mall.
To me, the mall was overloaded with women's fashion stores. But I'm a guy, what do I know?

What can I really write about the Eaton's Centre that hasn't been written a billion times in other VT users' tips? Ummm... It has some geese models hanging by wires from the ceiling?
There are over 285 shops inside. The "Info Desk" on Level 2 can help you find what you're looking for and they'll give you a free city map and brochures about other local attractions. The decorations inside the Centre during the Christmas season are fantastic!
The Centre stretches two full city blocks, attracts approximately 50 million visitors annually, and is apparently the #1 most visited tourist attractions in Toronto. Although the first Eaton Store on this location was built in 1883, most of what we now see of the six-storey glass-ceiling building was constructed in the late 1970s. The mobile flock of Canada Geese, entitled "Flight Stop", was made by Toronto-born artist Michael Snow.
You can access the Eaton Centre through the "Dundas" or "Queen" subway stations. If you are really brave, there are parking garages adjacent--personally I like the one on Dundas beside the Marriott Hotel. Leave a Comment

The Eaton Center is made up of 3 levels (2 of which are beneath street level) of stores that sell all kinds of merchandise like any major mall. It appears to be the city's epicenter for shopping.
If you wish to buy souvenirs, DON'T buy them in Eaton! To get these items for about 40% less than prices in Eaton stores, just walk north on Yonge St. and you'll see many small stores nearby that sell shirts, keychains, postcards, etc. Leave a Comment Theme: Department StoreAddress: at the corner of Yonge and Dundas Sts.

This mall was nice. I was surprised though they only had one department store( Sears). Here in NJ ( and Pennsylvania area), malls have at least 4 major stores even in much smaller malls.
I just bought a small Canadian flag because i collect flags when i travel.
Currently the US dollar is about 93 cents compared to CAN$ Leave a Comment Theme: Other

You'll find all the stores you are looking for at the Eaton Centre.
Why dont you get something from The Bay, Canada's department store, or at ROOTS. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Yonge & DundasDirections: Downtown at the corner of Yonge and Dundas.

The Eaton Centre is Toronto's largest shopping complex and has three levels of shops and restaurants. Don't expect to find any small boutiques or unique experiences here, as the mall is filled with name brand (primarily American) retailers and food outlets. One of the unique aspects of the Eaton Centre is of course that it has been declared a tourist attraction, which means that it can (legally) stay open on statutory holidays. That used to be a big draw, although now more and more stores are simply ignoring the law, making th Eaton Centre a little less of an attraction. Nevertheless, it has a currency exchange on the bottom level, connection to two subway stops (Queen and Dundas) and its flag ship store, Sears, has more high-end merchandise than the usual Sears stores. The Eaton Centre also features an attached Mariott and a Bally's Fitness Centre.
You can find pretty much anything here, like:
Clothing (Banana Republic, Club Monaco, Abercrombie and Fitch, American Eagle, Zara)
Department Stores (Sears, the Bay)
Shoes (Aldo, Shoe Company)
Phone services (Rogers, Bell)
Sports Equipment, electronics, beauty products, books, music, leather goods, stationary, toys, pharmaceuticals, etc.
Regularly retail prices - this isn't an outlet Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Yonge Street between Queen and DundasDirections: Queen Station or Dundas Station

I always enjoy walking through the Eaton’s Centre. The stores have stratified them themselves in layers with expensive clothes boutiques on the upper most floor, mainstream clothes and accessories on the middle floor and (more interesting) electronics and the food court on the lowest floor. The Centre is centrally located in the downtown area, so you’ll find yourself passing by the building several times whenever you venture downtown. Its location makes the center an excellent rest and rendezvous site. Leave a Comment

For many tourists (and I pity those who actually are like this) the Eaton Centre is the primary reason for a trip to Toronto. The is the shopaholics Mecca as there are seemingly countless stores that will appeal to all ages and all bank accounts.
The Eaton Centre was designed by Eberhard Zeidler and Bregman + Hamann Architects and was meant to resemble Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II located in Milan, Italy. I have always liked this design for the top floor is very bright with sunlight. Throughout the years there have been many additions and redesigns of the mall. Probably the biggest change is the fact that there is no longer a "Eaton's" who went bankrupt twice. No loss as I thought that the store was dreary. They have also pulled down the Cineplex theatre, at one time the largest multi-screen theatre is the world. Additions have included a H&M store. There are now 330 stores in the complex and more will be added in 2006. There is also one notable piece of art that being the "Flight Stop" a sculpture by Michael Snow. It represents a flock of Canadian geese landing from the galleria ceiling and is located near the south entrance to the mall on the top floor.
Originally when the mall was opened back in 1977, The Eaton Centre had three shopping levels where the most expensive stores, like Harry Rosen, were located on the top floor while the cheapest places where located on the bottom floor. Today these remains the plan however I have noticed that the result of this is that the bottom floor is full of teenagers while the top floor sees little pedestrian traffic. Another problem I have with the mall is the fact that in recent years the south entrance off of Queen as become the focal point of assorted riffraff, panhandling, cruising for sex and selling drugs.
Indigo Books is a very good bookstore, similar to Barnes and Nobles. All the other usual chains that you might find in malls from California to Poland are here. Uniquely Canadian is Harry Rosen, which is a men's clothing store. The mall is open Monday to Friday from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, Saturday from 9:30 AM to 7:00 PM and Sunday from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPhone: 416-598-8560Directions: It is bordered by Queen to the south and Dundas to the north and stretches along the west side of Yonge Street.Website: www.torontoeatoncentre.com

The Eaton Centre is a shopper's haven,with over 285 shops, restaurants, movie theatre and a 'Police Station' - bizarre! And not only is it the 3rd largest mall in Canada, but it is also a popular Toronto attraction. Shop till you drop!
