PROUDLY CELEBRATING 40 YEARS

Since 1984, Kids Market on Granville Island has been helping families make childhood memories.
Our locally owned and operated two level building in the heart of Vancouver has been devoted to fun for 40 years,
and we take our job very seriously!

From arcade games, to birthday parties, relaxing with a snack by the pond or finding the perfect locally made gift for someone special, Kids Market is here to create special moments for kids big and small.
THE UNIQUE EXPERIENCE

Come immerse yourself in a magical world where kids will look with wonder and imagination as they stroll through the market. Journey through the "Kids Door" to find Jack climbing his beanstalk, take a photo on our second floor landing with everchanging backdrops created by Gail Taylor Designs. Look up to see hot air balloons floating in the
clouds and a butterfly display, inspiring your child’s creativity!



THE ACTIVITIES

Our Adventure Zone features an arcade with over 30 games and tons of prizes, a multi-level play area with a 2 story slide, ball pit and mini-games. Dive into the world of Virtual Reality with Virtual Ride and explore one of 30 immersive experiences in their eggshaped consoles. For our smaller patrons, check out LetGo bumper cars
and see who can be the bumping champion!


THE SHOPS

With 18 shops, you’ll be hard pressed not to find something special for a loved one. From unique clothing brands
and costumes, to locally sourced games, toys, puppets, magic tricks and momentos. Kids Market is dedicated to creating memories that will last a lifetime, even a first haircut at the Hairloft!


THE TREATS

Just minutes away from the Granville Island Waterpark. Pick up a hot dog and fries from the Beanstalk Bistro,
hot chocolate from My Island Cafe or a big bag of candy from the Granville Island Licorice Parlour and relax in the scenic & kid-centric atmosphere of south Granville Island. We guarantee you won’t be disappointed!



THE HISTORY

Built in the early 1900’s as a factory, the old bones of the Kids Market building were the starting point in creating our unique, open concept environment filled with wood beams, vaulted ceilings and rich with Vancouver history.

In 1984, as Granville Island was establishing itself as a top Canadian tourist destination, the "Kids Only Market”
was designed to provide a fun-filled retail, entertainment and activity space dedicated to kids and their families.
Some of the original owner operated businesses, like Granville Island Toy Company and Knotty Toys
continue to thrive a generation later!

Renovated and rebranded to Kids Market in the 1990’s, we have always maintained a vision of fun, imagination, creativity and support for our local small business community. It’s our pleasure to continue inspiring & entertaining
the kids of Vancouver, and the world, for many years to come on Granville Island.
