Yonge-Dundas Square in Shelburne

Theres always something going on here. Day or night, I always love this spot. Take in the street performers, free samples, the buildings and lighted billboards, the people, the energy and the sound! So much in one spot. Sundays free sample was a can of Strongbow Cider! YES! A full can! Thanks @Strongbow

I went to see the Taiwan exhibit and it was well below my expectations considering the advertising done for it. All the big hype about it on Facebook and what I walked into was disappointing. Problem is if you know the story of the boy who cried wolf…. now I basically have to go to every event at Dundas square just in case it is better than what I experienced yesterday on Sunday.

Think of Times Square in the 90s, add a few religious nutters going on about their invisible friends, add some sketchy dudes and a scramble crossing ... Dont forget the kids, it will be an experience they wont forget. Seriously if youre taking the kids, park inside and avoid the grime. Good mall, sketchy corner.

Its a nice place; always alive and full of lights, often hosts public performances or demonstrations, and you can find everything you need in the area. From restaurants and cafes and bars, to clothing and electronic stores.But its messy and super noisy especially with the terrible drummers playing 24/7 in the front of Eaton Centre.

This is so cool and exciting place..always lots of crowd specially young collegians as it is near to Ryerson University.A happening place in Toronto.Would love to visit here again...This is very near to Toronto Eaton Centre and near to Nathan Philips Square as well. A must visit place to chill out with friends without any big plans and taking pictures of different activities happening here...

Really amazing to have cool pictures you can see dozens of homeless and garbage on roads also if you are from india you can see anti india movement from Indian punjabi community khalisthani supportersThese people can’t get their own punjab from Pakistan and they want punjab to become Khalistan i will say go ahead talk to your chief minister to implement this and make another country .

The mini Times Square of Canada. Dundas square and the whole city is back to life after a long time. Great place to go when there are events such as Nuit Blanche.

Dundas Square is a smaller „times square“. We loved that its much less frequented but of course it is not comparable with the times square itself.

Toronto “Times Square”, very vivid metaphor.Great vibe, busiest intersection, live music, dazzling billboard, really great place to hang out with friends.If there is a concert, that would be wonderful.Would come again.

Great experience at the Trinbago festival.. seeing David Rudder perform was nice. Great mango chow.

Its a great public space for events in the heart of downtown Toronto. The summer time is particularly a good time as they always have some event happening. It is also typically free to the public which is an added bonus. Lots to see and do nearby as well.

Most happening and busiest intersections of Toronto DOWNTOWN. when you reach here you actually “feel like” you’re in downtown. It automatically gives you Hollywood feeling. People would performing everywhere. Click worthy place! Get dressed, get a coffee, walk around click and get clicked.

The heat of Toronto, New York look and style but with better flavours.Always you can find activities and a tourist hub for visitors , Easy assess via TTC on university line 20 min walk to Union Station .Allot of restaurants around including the eatery at Eton Center

Most happening place best cluture program always crowded area. But downtown best spot also hangout place with friends and family.. opp TTC dundas..

Yonge-Dundas Square is a unique focal point of the downtown Toronto community. The Square is designated for use as a public open space and as an event venue that can accommodate events of various sizes. Youll discover a wide range of activities on the Square: community celebrations, theatrical events, concerts, receptions, promotions – events that appeal to residents and tourists alike and provide a showcase for local businesses

Calling it the times square of Toronto really over sells this location.On your average day its just a large empty concrete pad being traversed by the people of the city, but surrounded with bright advertising covering the nearby buildings. Drummers or other street performers are typical around here, as are religious preachers kindly reminding us that were going to hell as we try to cross the squares intersection. An excellent spot to protest if you dont really know what youre protesting or which government body is responsible for it.During events the square transforms into a street party and the surrounding traffic (both pedestrian and vehicularintensifies. Theres often a variety of events that use the site and can lead for some memorable days!Would I recommend it as a tourist destination? Absolutely notWould I recommend walking by to get a taste of downtown, definitely.

This may have been the least impressive section of Toronto. Seems like a bad Times Square impersonation. Lots of vagrants. Decent big store shopping.

There are some street performances, interesting place to check out

As always the atmosphere is vibrant. I visited after quite a few years and was overcome by the smell of Marijuana!

Perfect place for midsized events Its right in between Eaton Centre, a cinema, and lots of eateries/restaurants. The subway station is right there and the four-way pedestrian crossing is a bonus. Makes one feel safe.

Torontos version of New Yorks times square. I actually like this spot because there is so many cool things around it, and it is very centrally located close to Eaton center and the atrium on Bay, among other really good restaurants. However the problem with this spot is in the same traffic, massive overcrowding, and a fair bit of strange people that can often make you feel very uncomfortable. Other than that it actually is a very nice tourism Spot

We couldnt really roam around freely due to a basketball event going on. The event was a nice to experience though as we took part in some free activities and watched a game. It does remind me of Times Square. I wish we could have seen it without any event and also when it got dark. Close to Eaton Centre and Nathan Phillips Square.

Public square in Toronto, Shops, Cinema, market stalls from time to time. Nice city vibe atmosphere like Piccadilly Circus or Times Square.

Always an epic iconic city space with the heart of the city it beats with each pulse.Can hold some scary characters but such is city life.Atmosphere changes by the hour, when evening sets the chill rises with flashes of culture, busking and vibe.

Heart of Toronto superb ambience and best place to chill with friends and family

It’s like NYC’s Time Square except it’s not too crowded.

So much activity and fun here. Definitely a must see while in Toronto.

It is known as Time square of Toronto and that is very true.. a very happening place with a lot of eating joints, Eaton centre, cineplex , amazing vibe and energy of the City .. this square never sleeps.. there are always some concerts going on in here.. must visit place for Movie, shopping or eating outlets or just for having a stroll.. the place is also very popular for Pride Parade every year.. and it is a must visit event Love this place ❣️

The streets are beautiful; especially during nights, but it was very crowded when i went. If you want to enjoy the beauty of the city and the streets, go on week days... NEVER on weekends.

This was a nice discovery as a place to sit freely and relax. The open space provided a place of comfort and rest from walking. It also had some live entertainment to listen to and see. Clean and a acceptable comfort zone in the middle of a busy city

Busy and vibrant long street where you can find multi cultural influences in arts,restaurants (specially food! :and shops ( some very posh/high end, and others ..not so much). Relaxed atmosphere inside many of the bars in here.

Nice place to hangout with friends. It lights up well at evening and kinda gives you a times square feel. Ample number of food joints around but I love grabbing from chipotle. I usually park at city hall parking and the walk is pretty decent to this square considering the foot traffic it generates. Loved being here and would recommend anyone whos around downtown to have a quick visit. Cheers!!

It is just like a mini Times Square like in New York. It was centrally located across the street from Eaton Square and we shopped. I felt safe, no issues, and parked right there.

It was fun evening at Dundas yesterday. Lots of activities going on as summer approaches.

One of the Amazing and Busiest places in Toronto Downtown. This place has different feel of Vibes and surroundings with lots of Shopping places, offices and Apartments.This place is Similar to New York Times Square. This is the Heart of Toronto and public transportation is very accessible over here and with lots of car parking options.

Toronto really said ✨capitalism✨ just kidding its a really cool area with lots to see and many many stores around

Last weekend was a whole different vibe at Eaton Centre, amazing cars, floods of people and music in the background! This city is living it max this summer, don’t skip the events you will regret later in winter folks!!

The square is similar to the New York’s Time’s Sauare with screens and displays at every corner and space as the sight goes.You’ll find people entertaining each other like dancing, drum bands,etc,You can just come here to chill and you could find something or the other exciting stuff going around. There is Toronto Eaton Center mall just in front and the gate to food court just below. There are also many restaurants, ice cream parlours nearby also at a walking distance to the Nathan Phillips Square.This is the place to be if you are looking for some impromptu entertainment! If you want to feel the buzzy vibes and chill around, then Yonge-Dundas Square has it for you!

Really busy place. Its really nice to hangout and shop. Public transit is very easy to access.

Very Interesting area, great mixture of cultures and friendly zone for the guests visiting the city of Toronto. Love that they have a great stage area and the billboards that are up and running is a great added opportunity for the people to be able to seek out what the city of Toronto has to offer.

Beautiful scenery except for the homeless hanging out and watched one attempt to rob another one but other then that its beautiful just dont go there alone after 11pm cause the low life of society are out in full force

Definitely our version of times square but more underwhelming. Lots of annoying bible thumpers. Still, it a nice to visit especially at night, tons of stores near by and of course the eaton center.

One of the best places in Toronto for people watching, grabbing a drink and chill with your friends or by yourself. Theres bike share, movie theatre and the Eaton centre a minute away to name a few. On the weekends theres some event or the other going on and you can see people performing, doing fun photoshoots. It can be a bit touristy though.

Nice place to sit and watch all the different kinds of people. At night it‘s a very powerful spot with all the lights and electrical advertising banners.

Dundas Square is a popular place that hosts concerts, shows, cultural events, promos, buskers, etc. It’s a nice place to relax, watch people, meet up, and take photos. The Eaton Centre is nearby as well as several sources of transit.

Yonge-Dindas square is always electric. It’s not the big animated screens that make it so as much as the people. I never saw anyone in a bad mood there. I hear so many different languages being spoken every few steps. Everyone has their cell phones out snapping pictures. There are plenty of street shows.Stay in the crosswalks and obey the crossing signals. During these Covid times bring your vaccination proof with you. You’ll need it to have a sit down meal.

Basically the Times Square of Toronto, thats a little bigger and wider than the one in NYC. Huge, bright advertisements all around you. Plenty of pictures and selfies opportunities, as well as occasional free music events. Tons of shopping at the Eaton Centre on the west side of the square.

One word review: InsomniacCoz this place never sleeps! This is an amazing place to be at night with a lot of food options and lots to explore. If you love the scenes in movies where there’s a lot of people and a lot of huge led screens, this is your spot.

It is such a great main area of the town, when its all lite up and maybe there something going on.... But it seems these days its a big area for the homeless people to hang out and party and dance as there was a random bank playing outside the Eaton centre, none the less it is and hopefully will always be the heart of downtown toronto

Fun, exciting, and outrageous.
