 | |  |  | Eaton Centre: The Toronto Eaton Center... | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
The Toronto Eaton Center. O.k, it's big, bright, and resembles an Ocean liner pulled inside-out, but it really is just a shopping mall. You could easily spend a day here blowing your travel money in one of the over 300 shops, but would'nt you rather be outside enjoying the sun while ignoring the kids wearing $150.00 running shoes who yet for some reason continue to panhandle for spare change? Oh, I know shopping is important when travelling, but there are much more interesting areas in the city in which to purchase that special gift item for Grandma. Dir:-Yonge subway South from Yonge and Bloor. Get off at either the Dundas or Queen Street stops and follow the signs.
Although I must admit, if you are looking for a 'true' Canadian souvenir, then the 'ROOTS' shop in the center is your best bet. Extremely good quality Canadian made casual clothing at a fair price. No, I don't work for them; I just dig their stuff. :o) Oh, and always remember that we charge 2 taxes on almost everything: PST + GST, so when shopping remember to expect a %15 increase on the listed price.

| | | | Eaton Centre: The Eaton Centre is just a mall! | Tip Rating: | | | | |
The Eaton Centre. This is just one giant mall, just lots and lots and lots of stores. There are no amusement parks, no aquariums, or anything of the sort that make Mall of America and West Edmonton Mall the tourist attractions that they are, just stores. I was there once with my friend and we saw a gaggle of tourists walk by - a group of people with cameras all wearing the same t-shirt identifying them as tourists. I did spend a bit of time here, I must admit, but only because it was pouring rain out and I was bored, but there are plenty of malls near my house to visit. For those who are interested, though, go to www.torontoeatoncentre.com for more info.
If you must go shopping, there are plenty of other neighborhoods to go shopping in. Or, head over to Honest Ed's for real bargains. Leave a Comment

The weird thing about buying something in toronto is the tax, you can go into a store or a Burger King and order or buy what you want but when you go to pay for the iteam the price suddley changes, it happens everywere well some parts but most of the stores will have a hight tax rate e.g when i saw the pair of jeans i wanted i thought i had the right amount of dollers to buy then, but to my suprise. there was an extra $10 dollers added on i know this may not sound like a big deal but when your short of change and you want to buy something in a hurry just remenber that its not all ways the right price on the label, tax gets included when you pay at the casher! if your only visitning on vacation make sure you ask for a tax refund sheet, this will mean you get your money back from the tax added.
