"A former industrial backwater, Granville Island has changed a lot since the 1970s. Where once there were factories, now there are buskers, theaters, artisan studios, a marina, and a superb culinary scene, anchored by a public market. Jump on the Aquabus and explore the area on your own during the day, or take an evening tour with Vancouver Photowalks and capture the cityscape against twilight skies. Whenever you go, be sure to enjoy an espresso on the patio at Blue Parrot Coffee, visit the galleries of Railspur Alley, and check out the open-sided longhouse at Ocean Art Works. Kids—and the young at heart—will also love the island’s Water Park, the largest free attraction of its kind in North America."
