Lots of people even at night, was traveling on my own 10pm so felt safe. There's also a couple of hot dog stands with drinks if you want a snak
Nathan Phillips Square, located in the heart of downtown Toronto, is a vibrant and iconic public space. Known for its striking modern architecture and the famous Toronto sign, the square hosts a variety of events, including concerts, markets, and cultural festivals. In the winter, the reflecting pool transforms into a bustling ice rink, adding to its year-round appeal. With its lively atmosphere, stunning cityscape views, and central location, Nathan Phillips Square is a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists alike.
Great place for markets! The foot traffic is incredible. Check out my lip balms! Designed for sensitive skin, but cool enough for everyone! @BlackroseKraftwork
Parking spaces are WAY too close in this plaza.
Not enough space to safely move vehicle and the lot is always rammed due to the movie theatre.

Bruhhh I saw a tweaked out P diddy look alike here
The flavour and arts of India festival launched their journey and immediately became famous among folks and megalopolitan fans of fine arts and delicious cuisine lovers. Skillful presenters shared their stories, dance, fire play and much more to thousands and thousands people of different ages and backgrounds. Audience reactions were a measurement of the festival success. When I shared my views with friends they were wondering if they could be there too. I hope next year more people will know about this event and enjoy this amazing opportunity learn about Indian culture.
Nathan Phillips Square is one of the greatst tourist attractions in Toronto, Canada. 🇨🇦 It's located in Downtown Toronto and Next to CF Eaton Centre is

The plaza has plenty of places. Food Basics, Dollarama, and LCBO have to be the most popular places.
Perfect touristy spot. Get a good glimpse of modernisation. Nice for winter skating n other fun events round the year. It’s free. No tickets needed
I like to come and walk all over robson and stay in robson square specially in sunny days, fortunately farmers market will be back soon!
Great place to groom your dog. I was very happy with their dog and will definitely come back
Amazing experience here at Nathan Phillips Square.
A vibrant place in daytime and night time, a bit crowded in the area as it was a holiday during our visit but overall it's fun!

Great place to people watch or relax. Depending on the weather you have ice skating or water in front of the Toronto sign. Unfortunately, if you’re trying to get a selfie or a good picture in front of the sign, good luck. You’ll always have people photo bombing your pictures. Take a decent selfie with as little heads as possible and move on to the next location
Property not properly maintained. Carrying out a bin of Birthday supplies and twisted my ankle in a pothole!
A convenient place in Downtown Vancouver close to the city center to meet friends in a public place with excellent access to public transportation.
Good plaza it has most of all the stores in plaza. Because of location parking is always issue not able to find parking spot and it get hard while on weekends or long holidays
parking lot is so busy with bus paasengers, be careful when driving around corners they walk right out in front of you
It's ok, not really anything but the Doller store.
This is a good square has Tim's a gas station grocery store and a few places to grab some food as well
Wonderful square with ample parking space in middle and surrounded by all sorts of shopping options and restaurants around
Good plaza with ample parking space and a variety of places to shop and dine.
Nice place to walk through when downtown and always has food trucks or some event usually. In winter time there’s an ice rink with cheap rentals. Just always overcrowded around the area
Visited Gurulakshmi . Not the same as it used to be to be when you were near credit valley. The sambar and chutney is not as we always expect from you authentic. I have visited after 8 years since was not happy at last visit but regret the experience. No value for popularity. Green chutney and red chutney were super sour.
Nice place to visit in Toronto. I really liked the place. The nearby public bathroom was super clean. Since Canada has legalized cannabis, you would smell the pungent smell of cannabis everywhere. This is the downside of this place. We parked our car in the parking lot under this place.
Really nice shopping complex with ample parking space, famous restaurants, hair salon, massage place and grocery stores. This is our go to for most of the shopping or eating sprees.
Nathan Phillips Square is, to me, an emblem of Toronto. This beautifully designed square provides a glimpse of the blend of modern skyscrapers and historic buildings. It's definitely a must-visit when strolling through Toronto. For those who want to fully immerse themselves in this atmosphere, I suggest starting at Queen's Park, walking along University Avenue, and then turning onto Nathan Phillips Square. Here you will also find the famous Toronto sign.
City central Square with lots of activities around like museums ,ice rink , food trucks, schools . This area has always been a location for protests rallies to gather . Its got lots of green spaces here . Local festivals gather here and annual local markets , artists 🎨
This plaza has everything but especially if you're looking for things for your home, room, kitchen, bathroom etc go to Home Essentials they have pretty much everything you are looking for and the prices are extremely fair. Good quality and very affordable prices. This store is my go to for everything I want for my home. Bonus there's a Dollarama, a doctor's office and a few places to get food in that plaza as well.
Low cost basic foods. Decent fruit and vegetable section.
Very nice place to shop and I love Tokyo Cannabis!
Whoever designed the parking lot and the direction you drive through it is a lost cause. It's not friendly at all and it makes me want to avoid the mall in general just because of parking and the way you drive through the lot.
During winter, the fountain area is converted into an public ice rink and is free if you bring your own skates. You also have the option to rent skates for a fee. It gets a bit busy during the weekend but the space is enough for everyone to enjoy the ice. The surface gets a bit rough with all the skaters but it's still a fun winter activity for the whole family. The area is quiet picturesque and you can take some nice picture specially at night when the Toronto sign is lit up in the dark.
It has a much better atmosphere at night than during the day. However, there are too many people so it is difficult to relax. There is a skating rink and it is full of people, so be careful. There is an old city hall there, so the bell rings on the hour. It's beautiful to hear that sound.
Very nice. There is a lot going on, especially in the evenings. In winter there is an ice rink, which is free - only rent skates for a fee. It is nice to sit by the pool in the evening and enjoy the view of the square. It can be quite crowded on holidays and vacations. The main attraction are the letters TORONTO, which also light up at night. Wonderful place to take a photo.
Nice clean store no issues fine stuff I need
Love this place. The skate rental is cheap and good quality. That's why it is always crowded and need to wait in a long line at weekend.
Absolutely delighted with Fairway Plaza! The diverse array of shops and services, coupled with a welcoming atmosphere, make it a standout destination. The commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction is evident throughout the plaza. From shopping options to dining experiences, Fairway Plaza offers a well-rounded and enjoyable visit. I highly recommend Fairway Plaza for anyone seeking a vibrant and convenient shopping destination with a touch of excellence.
You can enjoy skating at the ice rink. There are many good restaurants around the block.
A very small plaza with a very few general options. The shops are pretty ill managed, and look under-maintained. Plus there's construction work going on that makes the traffic pretty busy and distracting. The Sri Lankan sweet shop has good options for the price they charge. The Dollarama doesn't have everything that you'll find at a standard one.
Weiss Clinic. Excellent facility.
Great staff.
Great staff.
You can find everything from grocery to good food to traditional Indian clothing here! Nice place!
Home essentials, all you need for the home,good prices too,friendly helpful associates
The place has no public washroom, even the stores in the plaza if they have not worked. I normally buy food on the store and use their but no washroom for customers. If I go to this place, I'll grab immediately the things I need.
A nice place for a quick grocery run. You can find different shops here that offer a variety of things. It's my go to shopping place for groceries and stuff.
The parking is aweful. People never pay attention. I've witnessed multiple times where people have almost got hit because the run in front of cars.
Food is so so. Rates are on the higher side. When it opened the quality was good but now I would rather stay hungry than order from here.Well you will get ample of parking though
This location is easy to get to, parking is not plentiful, so be prepared for that.
Nice area to come for shopping for those who like calm and peaceful atmosphere with no worries of parking spaces and too much rush.
New building was clean all medical services pretty much.
The freshco here always stocks grey and old meat. I’ve seen “fresh” produce rotting here. Only good to shop here for non-perishables. Better to shop at the Metro across the street.
As I said, leading edge physio therapy is absolutely the best place for all your physio needs.!!!
Some seemingly sketchy activity occurring here. Went to the sushi restaurant, and there was distinct yelling and some interesting sounding interactions. Certainly didn't feel like staying around any longer than I had to.
Good area for medical stuff and daycare. Couple of restaurants and convenience store
Rare to find a good West Indian restaurant open on Sundays. Always great food.
Food is amazing. lightskin woman with the red blondish hair attitude is horrible reason why I don't go as often anymore
They have a lot of selection here with food stores and other places best ones to check out or wok of Asia and Burger King
An older plaza on the top end of Hamilton with a good selection of stores ranging from grocery, eating establishments, a gym, smoke shop (great selection), life labs and more. I visited Wimpy's for breakfast and great as usual. Gas and other stores nearby with routes to lower Hamilton
This Plaza has a great selection with food they got flavor scene kibo sushi and plenty of other spots if you're looking for a burger or pizza
Went to the Home Essentials store here. I was surprised by the reasonable price of all the products. Bought a kettle on sale last year and it is working perfectly till now. So, the quality of the products are also good. This plaza also has a dollar store and a walk-in clinic. I visited the dollar store couple of times. It is like any other dollar store with items $5 and less
Very facilitating shopping area as per my opinion... Indian grocery and other household items,food grains, vegitables,snakes and even rakhis for rakshsbandhan and puja material also available
I dropped into Burger Boy restaurant where the food is always good,great service and friendly atmosphere.
Great stores can fill most of my off the beat shopping needs
Food here us good. Service is also good and most of the time very fast. Although they still need to work on their consistency especially for Chinese cuisine. Sometimes it's really good, other time it's undercooked and cold. Other than that it's good.
Good restaurants are there. Urgent care medical centre for your medical needs is also avilable in this plaza.
So many eating outlets and other daily activities or needs in one place 🤔 good
The food is not bad, its usually a hit or miss but their prices are too high for my liking. In terms of the staff, some of them need to go because customer service is not for their personality type but in general they are fairly quick service
Robson Square is right in the heart of downtown Vancouver, which is metaphoricaly exactly where it belongs. Robson Square sits between the Provincial Court House and the Vancouver Art Gallery. The space has multiple levels, mulitiple water falls, and a surprising amount of greenery in the overall design. Basically it’s an urban park with stunning architecture.
The biggest feature of Robson Square is it’s reputation as the go-to place for every protest or public demonstration in Vancouver. Everyone in Vancouver gathers here, or on the North Plaza in front of the Art Gallery, and vents their frustrations with the world. Which is a very important aspect of a healthy democracy. I didn’t include any pictures of the protests, but the fact that Robson Square plays this role in Vancouver makes it one of the most important spaces in Vancouver. People need a public place to express themselves and for Vancouver it’s Robson Square and the North Plaza of the Vancouver Art Gallery.
I’ve actually never been inside the Vancouver Art Gallery but the building is quite beautiful and what it represents is very important. Culture is built with creativity and the Vancouver Art Gallery is a great metaphor for this fact. If you want your city to have culture, you need to have a vibrant art scene.
Lots of artists and entrepreneurs come to Robson Square to sell their wares, play their music, take pictures, make videos, etc. Having this free public location for artists to practice their craft is very important because real estate in Vancouver is very expensive. There’s also a skating rink on the lower floor that doubles as a multi-functional space in the summer months for things like dancing. There’s lots of dancing and music in Robson Square.
On the quieter days Robson Square is also a good place to go just to sit and have your lunch or read a book. There are many nooks and crannies to be found in Robson Square that you can find to just get away from it all. Especially if you’re willing to climb the stairs that lead up to the Court House. The view from up there is quite nice. Especially at night, when all the lights of the city come on.
I’ve taken about a million pictures of Robson Square and the ones I included here are just a few I took lately. It’s an amazing space to be in if you’re a street photographer. Ultimately, Robson Square is about people. This is what makes the space come alive. It was built for people, not trees or water or architecture. If you want to celebrate people, come and visist Robson Square. They are the biggest attraction that it has to offer.

There is a couple shops in this mall that have friendly staff members. But to get in the mall area for parking really sucks! To get out is really bad, ever since the new entrance and exit for getting in and out of the mall sucks. Especially when pizza pizza gets a delivery. Sad!
I visited a Service Canada Center for Health Card renewal. I was surprised that we were served within 10 minutes. There were no long lines.
A lot of parking but I feel like there should be more clear signage around to know where your going. If your not from here or not familiar with the plaza it’s confusing
I only have great things to say about this establishment. Very professional and knowledgeable. They always greet you with a smile, and they are very eager to help. This place gets a five-star from me!
First time here. Went for an appointment with my new rheumatologist, Dr. Akbar. She was AWESOME! So very pleased to have found a good specialist.
The building/office is brand new looking and very classy. Loved it.

This is by far my favorite jerk chicken spot! The rice and peas, jerk chicken, oxtail gravy, and coleslaw are delicious. I grab two jerk chicken dinners every week; it's that good! They are also reasonably priced. Great friendly service!
The taste of Jamaica in Canada. The chef has exquisite seasoning. The prices are good and the amounts are plentiful. Good location, parking, and accessibility. (Takeout, and catering only) Highly recommended.
The place includes the fairview mall and oven 30 businesses restaurants stores Grocery coffeeshops and even a movie theater great place to find everything you could possible need. Trafficbus crazy rushhourvis my only complaint
Fennell Plaza has so many shops and great variety 👍🏼💯 Guess with numbers going up hoping numbers in stores don’t go down. May we all have a great Holiday Season and looking forward to Boxing Day.
Just had my 2nd Vaccination shot.
Im definitely consurned about the sanitary conditions at this location.
First a man was helped for 5 minutes while not whereing a mask !
Second
The so called pysition on site didn't even where latex gloves while admineresting the Covid Vaccination shot ! Definitely concerning !
If necessary I would not return to this location...

A small plaza in a great stratagic location. Pizza Pizza is a recent addition with existing Home Essentials, Dolarama, and others. But the dry cleaning is gone, which is a big miss. Seasonal rides and fares in its parking lot are another feature of this plaza.
Good place for shopping
Dr. Parhar leads an incredibly unethical medical practice. His care is not patient-centred and he would rather accumulate MSP money than provide adequate care. His practice should be questioned by the relevant authorities.
Last Sunday evening, I had the pleasure of visiting Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto, and it was nothing short of magical. The square, already a bustling hub in the heart of the city, transforms into a winter wonderland with its skating rink. Despite the crowd, the atmosphere was vibrant and joyous, filled with the laughter and chatter of families and friends.
The skating experience itself was delightful. The ice was well-maintained, perfect for both beginners and seasoned skaters. What stood out was the convenience of the rental service. It was efficient, reasonably priced, and the staff were incredibly helpful, ensuring a smooth experience for everyone.
What truly sets Nathan Phillips Square apart is its iconic location. Skating with the stunning Toronto City Hall in the background, under the evening sky, is an experience you don’t want to miss. The square is not just a place to skate; it’s a place where memories are made. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, I highly recommend spending an evening here, especially during the winter season. It’s a charming, lively spot that captures the spirit of Toronto beautifully.

He is nice,and staff there are nice too, but he is not a spesialist at all. Because, we really expected to get a right support, we extermly disappointed.
Also, Extremely long wait times, only to see the doctor for 3 minutes.
If you are going here for ADHD don't bother... He is not a specialist
