What a great idea to have a space dedicated to all things KIDS! All types of different stores selling kids items (toys, crafts, shoes, stuffed animals, etc). There is also a dog/cat place outside in a caboose. My kids enjoyed having their own kids entrance just their size.
There is also a little zone with games, small rides, etc.
Fun place to visit and browse if you have kids and are from out of town. -

Great place for the kids to play and for mommies to get their shopping fix for overpriced toys. This is a local place for kids to have birthday parties and maybe a few hours of entertainment.
There's a park and a water park section was not in operation due to the season but that didnt stop the kids from playing.
My only concern was that near the waterslide, there were steep hills with cement landings. In addition, there was a large pipe that extended out dangerously with a risk of a serious fall. I could only imagine some daring kid trying to scoot down the pipe.
The pipe I'm referring to even looks like the playground equipment. We caught the kids trying to scoot down and had to pull them off. -

Granville Island is a wonderful place for families despite the lack of parking...my kids enjoy taking transit there and consider it an adventure. Kids Only is one of their absolute favorite stops and the candystore and Crystal Ark within the kids narket are mandatory stops for them! During the spring and summer the kids and I stop by at least once a month for a fun family outing! Be sure to really explore Granville Island as there are a lot of great little shops, small quiet grassy areas and beautiful views hidden throughout the large area.
If you take my advice on transit and aren't in a rush to get home, take the aquabus and explore yaletown and downtown before hoping on the train/bus. It's not too expensive and kids love it! -

If you want your kids to go into a happy crazed overload, take them to Kids Market. Don't be foolish and think you won't spend some money though, otherwise it may be a bit of a tease as children are surrounded by toys, puzzles, games, books, CDs, movies, education toys, craft kits, science kits, dolls, action figures, candy, an arcade, play area and kid friendly restaurants. You can also schedule birthday parties here or take your kid for a day of pampering at the salon...little creepy, but to each his own.
The prices are a bit high and you may feel overloaded if you're the type who only honestly likes their own kids, but the Kids Market tries to make itself fun for adults too. Perhaps this place is something you save for a special occasion? -

Whenever I have friends and family visiting from out of town the Kids Market is our first stop. In the summer we bring our bathing suits for an afternoon frolicing for free in the water park. Bring your own lunch and save money. But the Kids Market is the highlight of the trip for all ages. Even if you don't want to spend a lot of money I guarantee you the shops will welcome you. I have never felt any pressure to buy, and we sure have fun
