Granville Island Market Place
March 25, 2008
Granville Island Is a huge public market located underneath the Granville street bridge just south of downtown Vancouver .
From Granville island you can access to many very interesting attractions via the Aqua bus (small ferries that carry up to twelve or so people ).
At Granville island there are many shops, artist studios as well as the world famous “Kids Market”
Additionally there are musicians, magicians ,jugglers ,thousands of Sea Gulls, as well as people from all over the world .The marketplace itself is a veritable rainbow of multiculturalism .
It’s almost useless to try to describe it because it is so amazing you just have to see it .
Some of the attractions that you can access via the Aquabus are the Marine Museum and the Science Center . .
Just past the Marine Museum there is the “Dog Beach”- the first in a series of beautiful beaches that connect DownTown with UBC at Wreck Beach : ) - While at UBC Check out the “Museum of Anthropology “—Well worth it !
If you have a bike this is an amazing day trip that will show you are real part of the Local Vancouver. Be sure to do it on Tuesday as the “Museum of Anthropology” is open late that day ( till 9)- Check with translink tripplanner and you should be able to throw your Bike on the front of the Bus and make it an easy trip home : ).
