The Toronto Eaton Centre, the shopping mall is Toronto's top tourist attraction, with around one million visitors per week. It is also the largest shopping mall in Eastern Canada and third-largest in Canada as a whole.
The Eaton Centre is bounded by Yonge Street on the east, Queen Street West on the south, Dundas Street West on the north, and to the west by James Street and Trinity Square. Its interior passages also form part of Toronto's PATH underground pedestrian network, and the centre is served by two TTC stations: Dundas and Queen.

The CN Tower is a communications and tourist tower standing 553.33 metres (1,815.39 ft) tall.
It surpassed the height of the Ostankino Tower while still under construction in 1975, becoming the tallest free-standing structure on land in the world. On September 12, 2007, after holding the record for 31 years, the CN Tower was surpassed in height by the still-under-construction Buri Dubai. It remains the tallest free-standing structure in the Americas and the signature icon of Toronto's skyline, attracting more than two million international visitors annually.
The Hockey Hall of Fame is dedicated to the history of ice hockey; it is both a museum and a hall of fame. It holds exhibits about players, teams, National Hockey League (NHL) records, memorabilia and NHL trophies, including the Stanley Cup. The first class of honoured members was inducted in 1945, before the Hall of Fame had a permanent location. Its first permanent building opened at Exhibition Place in 1961. In the '90s, the Hall began outgrowing its location and was relocated to a former Bank of Montreal building in downtown Toronto in 1993, where it is presently located.
Sporting Events
Both the Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL) and the Toronto Raptors (NBA) have games in town during Congress. Why not try to catch an exciting game at the Air Canada Centre?
