    Yes, it is busy and crowded but that's part of the deal. Lots of things to eat especially in the basement and great picnic table seating outside. It was full on the shady side so we had direct sun but oh well! Prices were good, it was clean and the street alongside was beautiful with flowers, etc. I would definitely go here again.

    Really big shopping centre in the middle.of Toronto. Easy access and all.the stops you can think of. Ends in Dundas Square which is a must you don't want to miss.
    Also has an entrance to the Path though we couldn't find it.

    A Nice outlook! Not too old either. Some great shops but expensive from what I saw. Food court had some great options too. A joint cinema adds in better fun for a movie after shopping!

    On a rainy or windy day, the PATH is a good and safe option. It’s accessible by subway, streetcars and GO train. To/from Union station, you can cross into the subway underground through doors to the PATH that passes along eating areas and shops. It’s nothing like Sainte-Catherine Montreal or Seoul’s above-/below-ground mecca around Myeongdong or Gangnam; but York’s Fairmont Hotel also offers underground access to the PATH with storefronts (beside Hockey Hall of Fame on Front Street). Hairdressing/barber, services and cafes dot the subterranean landscape that meanders North—towards Queen Street, smack between Bay Street and University Avenue. For example, nearby the Hudson’s Bay, clients preregister for PhysioPlus (Pineapple) Health group for therapy, acupuncturist and more. You would first pop out at Nathan Phillips Square beside the municipal underground car/charging lot. They’re the stairs leading to the “new” City Hall (a.k.a. Superman buildings), where free Saturday-Sunday events are held seasonally, beside Old City Hall or the stone courthouse—adjacent to Eaton’s Centre. There, you can also find many more shops, across Yonge street from Dundas Square movie theatre (used mornings as a lecture hall by Toronto Metropolitan University students). Renovations are being completed along the PATH, just in time for their wintry escape from Toronto’s bustle and streetcar traffic! Timing it just right, you can emerge from the trains and do all your window shopping…then even catch a theatrical performance or musical/show at Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. There are plenty of dining options, besides Ruth Chris’ Steakhouse, next to Sheraton hotel’s secret courtyard-garden on Queen: facing Shangri-la (for afternoon tea if Fairmont is fully booked). If you’re adverse to cold weather…practically never exposing your face to the elements, this could be the PATH for you. Strolling underground, downtown, how could anyone go wrong in a city like Toronto?!

    Let me be clear, TNT women's fashion here is much better than their Bayview Village location. Some might even argue the selection and service here are highly sought after, considering the other location's lack of luster. As for Yorkville Village, it should be called TNT Village, after all, they occupy more than 40% of this shopping center. It's great to take your girlfriend out for some excellent shopping. Also, a few more unique shops inside, which was nice before we moved on to Reyna.!

    Good Mall at Scarborough with major brand outlets and a good food court. There's even a Walmart in the Mall

    This building is connected to other attractions, particularly hockey hall of fame. In the winter, you may use this building as a temporary shelter from cold weather. This place is well accessible via public transportation or on foot from other attractions.

    Small jewel of an exhibit. As others said, this is in the TD Towers, which makes it near a lot of other things downtown (CN Tower, Rogers Centre, St. Lawerence Market) and so worth 30 minutes of popping in. There is no signage, so go into the building, see the few objects and paintings in the lobby of the Tower, and then go up the stairs to the mezzanine level. You will see statues depicting life and stories from 1950s to the 2020s. Worth the stop!

    This is a typical Toronto mall, where you will find clothing stores, food courts, and underground path. I don't think this mall is anyway superior to the other malls due to its aged looking.

    Native Canadian art is certainly something o e would need to delve into in order to gain an understanding. While the galeries in Yorkville seem to specialize in high-priced canvas painting, the Bay of Spirits has prints, watercolours and originals. And, of course, soapstone carvings. The owners are very accomodating and friendly. It goes without saying that they are not pushy at all. I had a great time there and I am happy with what I chose.

    Cultural. Once a power plant, but now it offers various cultural activities. When I visited this place, there was a dj session with headphones. It was very unique experience. The view of the lake at night was great too.

    Fun place to visit. I was in Toronto in December 2022, so I decided to check out this market. Although there were more people than I expected (which made me feel more crowded), the atmosphere was lively and there were full of activities.

    This mall is next to the TTC subway & bus stop and is popular with female (older) shoppers. Therefore, it features “boutique” higher-end clothing, jewellery-accessories, optical, and intimate apparel—not casual /children’s stores. There is no food court but restaurants/cafes (N-S and W) besides Loblaws supermarket with covered parking. However, some seating has been removed, aside from permanent fixtures nearer Pusateri’s / washrooms. Like at other Toronto area malls, a lot of vendors have not done well esp. due to past health-related closures; and on-site library shutdown has meant no regular visits by mothers with young kids. Prices remain higher—in the central Shoppers Drug Mart, too. Still, salons and dental offices manage to operate on the top/bottom (N/S parking-access) levels, although numerous independent stores have gone out of business. Increasingly, indoor dining near Tabule (Lebanese) keep leaving…resulting in far less options than Fairview’s food court / offices or vast retail / restaurants at Yorkdale mall. On the North side, there’s makeshift covered patio dining labelled Bayview Village ‘Haute’, parking/curb-side but at least safely outdoors. However, management doesn’t seem to enforce mask requirements indoors, and I didn’t see many seniors shopping. Hopefully, storekeepers will make a quick recovery with the ongoing public health measures…and Mastermind toys might hang on for families after Chapters’ Indigo bookstore, now gone. Bayview Village is not bustling like before—especially recollecting age-old pictures with Santa !

    On a recent return trip I was as delighted as always by the quality of the show. Ryerson is the home of the Black Star Collection, with it's 292,000 images as well as other important archives so they have a wealth of material from which they can mount fascinating and historic shows. The current show in the main gallery features Gordon Parks, whose photo essay about poverty in Brazil was published in Life Magazine in 1961. The Centre is well worth a visit anytime.
