Eaton Centre

Frommer's Review

Buttressed at both ends by 30-story skyscrapers, this urban shopping center stretches from Dundas Street south along Yonge Street to Queen Street (557,418 sq. m/6 million sq. ft.). An unusually upscale Sears department store anchors the north sections, and more than 285 stores and restaurants and two garages fill the rest. Twenty million people shop here annually.

Inside, the structure opens into the impressive Galleria, a 264m-long (866-ft.) glass-domed arcade dotted with benches, orchids, palm trees, and fountains; it's further adorned by Michael Snow's 60 soaring Canada geese, titled Step Flight. The birds are made from black-and-white photos mounted on cast fiberglass frames. But let's face it: You're probably here to shop.
