Giant Christmas tree, upscale food court, modern washrooms
Erin Mills Town Centre的点评
点评:We seldom go to malls so it is hardly surprising that we've never been to Erin Mills Town Centre before. It didn't help that this mall is quite a ways from us plus the fact that we're closer to Square One. Found an excuse to finally visit in Dec when I learned Erin Mills Town Centre has a giant Christmas tree display—just the prop I wanted for my family's annual Christmas photo.
We scheduled our morning visit on Mon, 15 Dec, and got here before 10:30AM. Easily spotted the mall from Eglinton Ave W due to its striking glass dome. Plenty of free outdoor parking. We decided to park near Entrance A, walked inside the mall and quickly located the Christmas tree—hard to miss as it stood in the centre court under the glass sphere skylight. This area is airy and bright thanks to an abundance of natural light. I really liked the tasteful holiday decor—really photo worthy. There's even a reflecting pool on one side of the centre court. The friendly professional Santa looked super convincing and was sitting on the couch in front of the fireplace, waiting for photo appointments.
After our Christmas tree group photo, we did a little mall sightseeing and window shopping. I was even able to do a bit of clothes shopping at Fairweather. We had a look at the large Food Court on the upper level—really upscale, with high ceiling and unobstructed view of the city skyline. Food options include Grill It Up, Shanghai 360, A&W, KFC, New York Fries, Villa Madina, to name a few. The public washroom is modern and spacious. I really liked the layout with the sinks and mirror in the middle. The mall directory map we saw near Entrance A was not interactive—had a sign that said "not a touch screen".
We were only here for 1.5 hours so didn't get to fully explore this mall. Still, I saw enough to say Erin Mills Town Centre is one of the nicest we've been to. Would definitely like to visit it again.
翻译:我们很少去购物中心,所以之前从未去过艾琳米尔斯购物中心(Erin Mills Town Centre)也就不足为奇了。这家购物中心离我们家有点远,而且我们离Square One购物中心更近,所以一直没去。直到12月,我才终于找到一个去逛逛的理由:艾琳米尔斯购物中心有一个巨型圣诞树展示——这正是我每年拍摄全家福照片所需要的道具。
我们把行程安排在12月15日星期一上午,10点半之前就到了。从埃格林顿大道西(Eglinton Ave W)很容易就能看到这家购物中心,因为它有一个醒目的玻璃穹顶。室外有很多免费停车位。我们决定把车停在A入口附近,然后走进购物中心,很快就找到了圣诞树——它矗立在中庭,位于玻璃球形天窗下,非常显眼。由于自然光线充足,这个区域显得明亮通透。我非常喜欢这里雅致的节日装饰——非常适合拍照。中庭的一侧甚至还有一个倒影池。那位友善专业的圣诞老人看起来非常逼真,他正坐在壁炉前的沙发上,等待着大家拍照。
拍完圣诞树集体照后,我们逛了逛商场,顺便看看橱窗。我甚至还在Fairweather买了些衣服。我们去了楼上的大型美食广场——非常高档,挑高的天花板,还能欣赏到一览无余的城市天际线。美食选择包括Grill It Up、Shanghai 360、A&W、肯德基、New York Fries、Villa Madina等等。公共洗手间现代又宽敞。我很喜欢它的布局,洗手池和镜子都在中间。我们在A入口附近看到的商场导览图不是交互式的——上面有个牌子写着“非触摸屏”。
我们只在这里待了一个半小时,所以没能完全逛完这个商场。不过,我看到的也足够让我说Erin Mills Town Centre是我们去过的最棒的商场之一。我肯定会再去一次。
