Ball Pits in Vancouver
Kids of all ages love playing hide-and-seek in a fish bowl of balls. We compiled a list of ball pits in and around Vancouver.
Lonsdale Quay
This is a small ball pit that’s never very busy and includes a twisting slide into the balls. It’s easy, free entertainment. Just don’t forget hand sanitizer.
123 Carrie Cates Court, North Vancouver (604) 985-6261
Granville Island Kid’s Market
The Adventure Zone in Granville Island Kid’s Market includes four levels of nets, slides, climbing structures and a ball pit. The downside is it’s hard to supervise kids as they climb the different levels.

Crash Crawly’s
The mecca of ball pits, Crash Crawly’s is a party worthy place. There is a separate play area for very young children. If possible avoid on weekends or holidays.

Drop your kids off at Smaland and enjoy a child-free shopping excursion. Smaland has a ball pit, but height restrictions apply, and children must potty trained.
