It's worth a 1/2 day trip to check out. Although much smaller than the Granville Island Public Market, it  still has wonderful eateries and quaint shops. I would check out Granville Island Public Market first and if you have spare time, check this place out.To get there, take the Seabus to Lonsdale Quay. You should be there in 10 min.

Cute place to people watch and take the Seabus to Vancouver.  There are bathrooms here too---and clean ones!The market is nice with a good variety of stuff to buy and eat, or just hang out.  Definitely worth a visit!

For a nice change of pace and a quick sea bus hop over. The quality of food offerings is much better than the Granville Market.  Besides the offerings outside the Market, there's a bit of shopping that can be done here too.  More touristy stuff but nonetheless, still fun to look around.We actually came over here twice.  My pal and I wanted fresh Dungeness crab.  See my review for Sceaming Mimi's.
