    Storefront at night

    This is the biggest claw machine game store in Toronto, with over 100 machines to test your skills.There are small prizes and very large prizes. They opened 2023-07-14. You pay for tokens to use with the machines. When you spend over $200, you become a VIP member, and then you get bonus tokens for each purchase. The place was large, well-lit, neon colourful, and clean. The staff are courteous. You can even trade in your winning for other prizes. The place is wheelchair accessible. Review 2023-254

    A bit on the pricer side and games are harder To win compared to other places I have been to but still a good spot for photo ops. Prize area great! You can also purchase or trade in won plush towards costs. Very expensive but quality is nice (especially for anime figures) They have a small sitting area and some beverages but don't come here hungry. Very good location. Driving is a pain but many P spaces around in the back street areas. Staff didn't bother to greet. All seemed tired and bored on slow days

    We stumped upon this place after going to the Toronto Eaton Centre (across the street). Loaded $100 cad on the card for my kids to play the claw machines. No tax if you pay with cash. They had a good time here and won a lot of plushies. My daughter traded in 6 of her plushies for the 1 plush bouquet that she really wanted. The staff here were very friendly and helpful. Definitely a fun experience on our first day in Toronto. Worth it :)

    This is a claw machine place downtown near Yonge-Dundas / Eaton Center. There's a large variety of claw machines as well as a "trade-in" program (you can trade in your toys for other ones). There are different tiers of memberships, but I think you need to spend over $200 to get the VIP ($50 for regular?). Comes with some perks like free tokens, etc. Our group paid $50 for 60 tokens, which I think is on the more expensive side for this type of business. Most machines cost 4 tokens, with the bigger prize machine costing 5 tokens (but the difficulty here is a lot higher). Overall, fun, but a bit expensive.

    We stopped by while in the area. Kids were excited since this place is bigger than the other ones we've to. So many machines to choose from and you have the option to trade in your plushies. There's a place for parents to sit and a restroom. Employees were super helpful as well. I would definitely recommend this place.

    Winner winner, chicken dinner!

    My kids love claw machines so on our trip to Toronto, we made a stop here and we were not disappointed. This place is huge. They got plushies, which we were able to trade in for other items. Def recommend!

    Won this prize

    Very easy to win the prizes the grip of the machines aren't rigged as long as u know where to grab them from your should be good

    Cute carts and prizes!!

    I love Octo, very friendly and very helpful. Unlike OHYO. I had so many amazing memories here because the claw machines are not as rigged as other places. Also their quality of their prizes are amazing. Very high quality. I love this place!

    There's a gift-shop Battle Royale at the Front Street entry/exit of Toronto's St. Lawrence Market…read more I imagine the owners of the 43 year-old St. Lawrence Smoke & Gift Shop (SLS&GS), and the 10 year-old The Souvenir Market (TSM) shooting daggers with their eyes as they glare at each other across the walkway. I'll let you read my SLS&GS review (https://www.yelp.com/biz/st-lawrence-smoke-and-gift-shop-toronto) to find what's going on over there. As for TSM, there's plenty of cool stuff. IMHO, they win over the Smoke Shop when it comes to maple quality and selection. You'll find maple syrup, maple cookies, maple candies, maple butter, maple chocolate, and maple coffee and tea, just to name the most prominent. I also put TSM on top when it comes to sports stuff ... you'll find a sturdy amount of reasonably priced Toronto Raptors and Blue Jays gear. They also best their cross-walkway rivals in things the Smoke Shop just doesn't have (or has so little of I missed it): TSM wins on RCMP (a.k.a. The "Mounties") stuff, post cards (expensive, but excellent quality), Anne of Green Gables (the famed Canadian novel character) items, and on international flags. When it comes to the standard Toronto- and Canada-adorned items, both stores do well with t-shirts, magnets, mugs, bags, sunglasses, bags, and the rest. There isn't a lot of crossover, though, making both stores must-sees for the souvenir hunter. With a straightforward name like "The Souvenir Market" you expect an abundance and variety of great stuff ... and, boy, TSM delivers!

    Food/Drinks: The food was pretty basic but tasty. I do feel like the menu felt a bit limited, but…read morewe did enjoy what we ate. I got the ravioli and mashed potatoes, and it was exactly what I expected. I enjoyed every single bite, and I'd probably get the same exact order if I went back. The fries were also pretty good, and the Parmesan did add taste to them. My husband also did enjoy his steak. The drink that I got was an apple flavor, and I just remember it tasting delicious, so it's one of my favorite items that I got that night. Location: The location is beautiful, and it's definitely one for the books. You have a 360 view of Toronto, and it moves very slow, but you get to see all throughout the view of Toronto, and it's very beautiful, especially at night when the lights around are glistening. This place is not a casual place. In my opinion, people were dressed up, as well as ourselves, and it's a perfect place for a special celebration or if you're visiting Toronto like us. We took Uber here as we were visiting Toronto, so I'm not sure how parking works for this location. Service: The service was great. Our server was amazing, and I wish I would've written this review a lot sooner because he deserved a five-star regarding how nice and helpful he was, especially with exploring the menu and answering all our questions. If I visit Toronto, this is definitely somewhere I would like to come again. I think it's worth visiting and experiencing again. I do remember it being more on the pricey side but well worth the price tbh .

    This gift shop is located inside of the CN Tower. It could easily be a stand alone gift shop. You…read moredo not have to pay for any of the tower's attractions to visit the gift shop. It is free to shop. You do have to go through security screening to get to the shop, but it is before any admission stations. This gift shop has a department store kind of feel and not only has CN Tower memorabilia, but Toronto's and Canada's as well. You will find shirts, hats, key chains, magnets post cards, stuffies, toys hats and snacks here. It has a decent collection of stuff. I did think that the stuff they have is a bit pricey, but oh well. My interaction with the staff was limited, but the little that I did have, they were nice enough. Because it takes some work to get to including finding parking, which can be pricey, going through security, and paying higher prices. I would not consider this gift shop a destination spot. It is still a viable option to purchase your trinkets if you are visiting the CN Tower, the Aquarium, or Rogers Centre.
