Eaton Centre Toronto

In the most technical sense, Eaton Centre is a shopping mall; and as a mall it normally wouldn't even rate a passing mention on these pages. However, it is not accident that Eaton Centre has become Toronto's top tourist attraction. It is a rare mall that sees a million visitors a week, but the 285 stores that make up Eaton Centre receive that kind of crowd nearly every week of the year. The mall takes up 2 entire city blocks on 4 different levels. Whether you want to "shop till you drop" or just discover the kind of logistics it takes to keep this sort of operation running, you will want to make Eaton Centre a part of your visit to Toronto. In addition to the stores, there are restaurants, theaters, and even a police station on the premises. Various events held throughout the year add to the excitement and interest of the mall. A word of warning: Plan your visit during the week and weekend crowds can be enormous.
