GRANVILLE ISLAND
Just a little over half of a mile from Vancouver’s center you will find Granville Island. This island was previously an industrial site and had since turned into a modernized neighborhood with shopping, delicious eats, theaters, galleries, and sight seeing! In Granville island is the Public Market which a marketplace full of fresh fruits, vegetables, and other local treasures available for purchase. Whether you are just browsing or shopping, the Public Market is a great place to see local offerings and relax while watching the ferry boats travel back and forth across the bay. Visiting Vancouver with children? Visit the Kids Market which is part of the overall Public Market! The Kids Market houses an interactive and colorful indoor play area along with crafts and toys that are also available for purchase. This is a great place to pick up some souvenirs created locally to take home and enjoy. Visit Skylark Counselling.
