Website: www.torontoeatoncentre.comNearby restaurants: • Urban Eatery has changed the food court experience at the Eaton Centre. Even my 18 year old guy was impressed by the new slick look of a modern airport lounge, with real plates and cutlery. You can access Urban Eatery by using the escalators going down (near the Gap store or by the mall’s entrance at Yonge and Dundas.
While you are there: You've got to take the kids up the glassed-elevator near the fountain to see it from up high, and the other elevator by the geese, to see them nose to nose.

Centre of attention
The Eaton Centre's appeal lies in the fact that it's big (with 230 stores), smack downtown (directly served by both Queen and Dundas Subway Stations) and different (with its glass-domed ceiling and trademark flock of fibreglass geese from artists Michael Snow and Joyce Wieland). Younger visitors will just want to go up and down the escalators and glassed-elevators and they’ll want to see the three-storey high fountain (it takes over 5 minutes to fill before jumping full blast into the air). When they get older, they'll beg you to stop at Toys Toys Toys and the Disney store. When they become old enough to mind about their style, the entire mall belongs to them. The whole family will enjoy the two-storey Indigo bookstore.
