At the Granville Island Toy Company, we believe childhood should be filled with wonder, imagination, and a little bit of magic. Since opening our first doors in Vancouver on Granville Island in 1984, and later expanding to our cheerful Mount Pleasant location, we’ve been proud to have help generations of families create moments of joy, laughter and connection.
Over the years, we have been many times voted as Vancouver’s favourite toy store. It warms our heart to be a cherished part of the local community. At heart, we are more than just a toy store; we are a place where imagination comes alive, nostalgia is celebrated and that simple joys of childhood are shared.
From timeless wooden toys, a quirky new collectible, or the softest plush companion to the modern day toys and latest trends, our shelves are filled with carefully chosen treasures. Make room for a little more joy everyday!
Our mission goes beyond the walls of our stores. Giving back has always been at the heart of what we do. Throughout the year, we dedicate resources and support to help our community, particularly children in need — especially those who may feel forgotten. From local outreach programs to dedicated funds that ensure vulnerable kids receive moments of joy, we believe every child deserves to feel the magic of being seen, cared for, and valued.
We’re here to help you discover something special, whether this is your first visit or part of a cherished tradition. Come get lost in a world of colour, curiosity, and fun — for kids and kids-at-heart alike.
From our family to yours, stay curious. Keep playing. Make a memory. Keep the wonder.
