A large shopping mall located in the Downtown area, parallel to Yonge Street and running from Dundas to Queen. Over 200 shops on four levels, ranging from the cheap and cheerful on the lowest level to designer names at the very top.
You don't have to spend money, you can window shop and look at the canada geese scuptures 'flying' down the mall.
Downtown Totonto, next to Dundas and Queen TTC stations.

This downtown area by the lake is a great place to visit in the summer. As well as a great place to walk by the side of Lake Ontario, you can catch the ferry across to the Toronto Islands, watch an open air performance for free, browse a craft fair and eat food from various ethic menus.
The obligatory boat trip up to the falls. Yes, you will get wet (hideous yellow plastic coverall is supplied) and is not recommended for those suffering motion sickness.
You do get a close up of this impressive natural feature however.
Don't approach the Falls via the freeway as it is boring and souless. Go via the beautiful small town of Niagara-on-the-lake and then drive along the Niagara River via the Niagara Parkway to get a great view of the falls.
Eat a fantastic, hearty Canadian breakfast in a genuine North American style diner with original 1940s decor. Sit in one of the booths and enjoy the atmosphere.

A comfortable 3 star hotel in an excellent location in Downtown Toronto, on Dundas Street, just by Yonge/Dundas Square and a short walk from the Eaton Centre. The rates are very resonable, consequently it's used by lots of coach tour parties. Staff are friendly and the rooms clean. Great value considering it's location.
