Granville Island is essentially a giant farmers market, with restaurants, galleries and artist studios. We even got to watch a blacksmith and a glass blower working. There’s a big public market building that feels a lot like Pike Place, a small playground and a two-story Kids Market where your kids will happily empty your bank account between a bounty of toy stores and the arcade.
The Aquabus runs every five to 15 minutes, every day except Christmas, with eight stops along False Creek.
