I feel 'guilty' (well, not really.......) ripping Toronto/Ontario... but the reality is; taxes are…read moreextremely high and items/goods are tremendously overpriced. A bottle of vodka at Duty Free USA is $21.50.. Same bottle in Ontario is $69.50............................... (lots of dots to ponder), reality/truth is ONTARIO is a terrible place to shop/buy. After spending a few weeks in 5 different states; if you have the means/opportunity, go to AMERICA!!! Regardless if the dollar is .80 cents to the dollar or even .65 cents to the dollar. Shoes, clothes, food, drink are just more affordable. You can go to a bar and have a drink for $2.. $2.50; try to get a drink in Toronto for under $9 (rarity). In other words; duty free makes a lot of sense. As does shopping/supporting America and it's retailers; there's no glory in being taxed 13% and paying double for 'stuff' in Ontario.

Even though the address here is correct, the image on the Yelp map does not display the store in…read morethe correct location, and possibly for a check-in. It is actually on Wellsley Island, on the America's side just before you cross northward into Canada. If you are going south from Canada into the US, you want Thousand Islands Duty Free. As you would expect, there are deals here on a variety of items, most notably alcohol, cigarettes, and cologne, but other items, souvenirs, etc. Prices and procedures are standard. Shop carefully - some things are very good deals, some are not. The facility is clean, the rest rooms are well maintained - and a good place to stop first if there's a long line waiting to enter Canada. There a few benches outside and an area which offers you a great view of part of the St. Lawrence River and some of the nearby islands.
