Granville Island isn't just one shop, it's many. There are more than just shops down here, there is the Emily Carr Institute for Art and Design, as well as the Arts Club Theatres. (plural) Opus-art supplies, a few restaurants and pubs, the Granville Island Market, and many smaller shops. You can easily spend an entire day down here and find something interesting to occupy yourself. If you have children with you, perfect. There is the very large; Kids Only Market. As you first enter Granville Island, this will be one of the first buildings you come across. (This is the large building you can see in my opening shot)
Check it out, take it in, it's a lot of fun. You won't be disapointed. I promise.

Under - Select An Appropriate Type For This Shop: I chose Other. You could include everything listed.


What to buy: Skies the limit when it comes to this Island Market; too many to list here. Open up the link attached to give you a better idea.

What to pay: Various Prices

Directions: Head East along 4th avenue, until you are at the Granville Street Bridge, make a left at the light and follow the traffic. Just be concerned with finding Granville St. Bridge and the rest is easy.
