The merchants of Burlington cordially invite you to explore the city’s unique boutiques, specialty shops, and expansive department stores.

For one-of-a-kind treasures, Art Etc. in the Burlington Art Centre features handcrafted ceramics, paintings and glasswares by Canadian and local artisans and regularly holds exhibitions of Canadian art. Dreams of blooming flowerbeds germinate at the Royal Botanical Gardens when horticulturalists visit THE GARDENS gift shop for gardening supplies along with distinctive gift lines. During your visit to Joseph Brant Museum and/or Ireland House at Oakridge Farm, browse the museum shops for books, toys and maps with historical flair.

Burlington’s downtown shopping district features one of Canada's best-known bookshops along with unique clothing, accessories and gift shops.  The former village of Aldershot also has many interesting shops and restaurants along Plains Rd. connecting Burlington to Hamilton in the west.

Fans of big retailers will recognize familiar names such as IKEA and Costco but be sure to explore the other large stores like Lee Valley, Mountain Equipment Coop and the city’s two major shopping complexes, Burlington Mall – home of the Burlington Farmers’ Market and Mapleview Shopping Centre.

The Visitors Centre at 414 Locust St is a worthwhile stop for Burlington and Canadian souvenirs. We carry a wide selection of apparel, books, photos, note cards, postcards, maps, city souvenirs, pins and more. Whatever your needs, you’ll find the perfect memento to remember your stay in beautiful Burlington.
