They had so many cute stalls, it was a great place to do some Christmas shopping as well. They also had soooo many food options!! it was amazing. The entry was free which makes it even better.

We went on a weekday afternoon so it wasn't too crowded but I've heard some people say it gets pretty busy on weekends. I would definitely go again next year!

It is a holiday but we arrived shortly after 1pm. Perfect time, lines to order were much shorter and faster. This place has everything you can think of, from fancy pastry shops and coffee shops. Food from all over the world, Chinese barbecue, Italian, Japanese, Mexican, boba, donuts, Thai, Cambodian. You will not leave this place without trying one, or 2 or all of the food vendors. Some are of good value, some pricey. Really depends on what you order. Restrooms are super clean! There's a lot of them, very clean. So fancy looking too. There are bussers who do clean the tables quick so there is no problem getting seats. Great service! We had roast duck from Heritage and mango donut from Mello. They are so good. Duck was tender, tasty and generous over rice.

It was clumped up, dry and bland so it ruined the entire dish. - Chicken Wings from Mee Bar: Good. Nicely prepared and good flavour. - Paella from Espana: Not good, but better than last time. I still found it bland, but at least it wasn't burnt this time. - Luigi's Bolognese: Good. Cooked perfectly al dente, and a solid sauce. This one is pretty close to what you would get if you were eating at Ask for Luigi. I still like the space. Plenty of indoor out door seating, and it's kept clean. Live music is always nice. I still like the concept of Time Out Market, but the quality of some of the food is inconsistent.

The market is pretty vast with 2-3 large rooms so bound to find something to try. We got the infamous donuts and another pastry to hold us off until a lunch reservation. I also loved the fruit maket displays in this colorful towers, super fun. There is also a huge kids area with dedicated shops, fun arcade games and a magic shop! A tourist attraction for a reason!

However, our family of six visited on a Tuesday morning at 8:30 am and we managed to find onsite for two hours for $2. We checked out the public market, purchased coffee at Blue Parrot, and bought souvenirs at the Kids Market. There are few intriguing vendors that I would like to check out if we were to revisit: Siegel's Bagels, Stuart's Bakery, Lee's Donuts, and Kaisereck Delicatessen. The area is vast and it's good for a morning stroll and to snap a few pictures of the ocean front and Granville bridge.

For a warm summer day this was so perfect before getting back on our boat. My friend brought her pug with us on our outing and he made friends with many other sweet fur babies on the dock. It was a hot day so luckily there was some shade by the picnic benches. Note there are no restrooms whatsoever on the dock. There is only one stall in the washroom for the ferry and no public restrooms in the welcome center nearby - is hardly call it a welcome center with a sign for no public restrooms in the window!

The concept is fun because each vendor is set up in their own shipping container, with a couple of Instagram-able photo opps like a giant "Vancouver" sign and a Vancouver Heart sculpture you can step into. I read that they occasionally also have live music here too. When we arrived it was mid-afternoon on a Tuesday so naturally it wasn't as lively as I thought it would be. Still, it was nice strolling around and checking out all the different arts & crafts, souvenirs, clothing, jewelry, and other merchandise for sale in a fun outdoor atmosphere! This summer market is open Tue-Sun 10am-6pm from May 1st to September 28th. They also have a licensed patio serving up drinks Tue-Sun 11am-7pm.

That was frustrating since I walked over from my hotel specifically for that. I ended up using Lyft for most of my time in Vancouver instead and I'm not above riding the bus when I'm on vaca. Before getting in line, I asked a gentleman in the produce department about it, and he was very friendly and helpful. The store itself was clean, well-stocked, and had a nice bakery and deli. If I lived in Vancouver, I'd probably shop here sporadically. I saw some prices just to see while I was there. My only complaint is the outdated information that sent me there in the first place...or if it wasn't outdated, the worker not being properly informed. Who knows...

Interestingly enough Ocean Concrete is also located here and you can gawk at their silos when walking around. If you're visiting during the weekends or holidays, parking can be a bit of a hassle. The sidewalks aren't clearly marked either, so pedestrians also spill over into the streets. It's better to take a ferry or water taxi to avoid the headaches.

We went on a Saturday mid afternoon and parking was ok because some people were leaving. A good selection of shops, including the public market and various shops. It was crowded, but service was good and friendly. We had a big meal beforehand, but it seems like a nice place to brunch by the waters and enjoy the views or have a snack - long line for the donut shop! There's a small playground for kids and toy stores. There's also a nice pond area to sit and enjoy a snack or just relax on a nice day.
