Our very first time visiting The Kids Market at Granville Island and I am left feeling let down. First, parking was a nightmare! It took ages to just get into the place. It was extremely busy. Packed shoulder to shoulder with people. Only 2 stalls in the women's bathroom!! Why?? For such a busy place you'd think there would be bigger bathrooms!

When I went to Granville Island past decades, I can recall the lower entrance for kids only. If you have little ones, this is the perfect place bring them. It will be so much fun in chilly days when you don't know where to bring your kids. All the old fashioned toys, games, shops, playing machines and the decorations remind our good old days! It may be a little pricey but it will so much fun just play one or two games there. It's the time we can help our local small business. All the shops are local and so good. Upstairs has one small bumper area for little kids, 2 nice decorations party room and some old fashioned arcade game. There are a restaurant in the upstairs with good...
