Parking Info:

Parking is very limited on Granville Island so please give yourself adequate time to find parking sand consider carpooling with another family. It is all Pay Parking. There will be lots of parents parking and buses dropping off kids so it will be a busy spot. Granville Island has outdoor lots, street parking and a parking garage on Old Bridge Street. If you're open to a morning walk there is lots of parking at the Planetarium and it's a 10-15 minute walk along the seawall to Granville Island. Please see the VCF website for other suggestions to access the island (ferry, bike, bus etc.) if desired.
