Just for kids
The Kids Market on Granville Island is
tailored specifically for family fun. Kiddos
can romp around in the ball pit, play in the
arcade, express their creativity in interactive
craft shops and shop two floors of toys,
candy and other kid stuff. Regroup by
grabbing a bite to eat or relaxing around
the outdoor pond. In summer, a free water
park on Granville Island sweetens the deal
with a chance to splash around in the spray
park and glide down waterslides.
