When you pass through the entrance, take the first right onto Cartwright St. The first two buildings you'll see will be the Kids Market and, across the street, the Granville Island Brewing Co.
If you have kids, they'll love the Kids Market. It's home to dozens of shops, including the Granville Island Toy Company, Everything Wet (a boutique full of wet-weather gear for kids), and Kites & Puppets, whose assortment of colorful kites covers the market's ceiling. There's also an Adventure Zone playground out back--complete with a coffee shop for the parents.
If the Kids Market isn't for you, start your visit with a local micro brew at the famous Granville Island Brewing Co.
