About

Camelot Kids on Granville Island is a specialty costume and dress-up shop that makes kids light up the moment they walk in. The store is filled with costumes, capes, crowns, swords, shields, fairy wings, and medieval-themed toys that invite imaginative play.

The dress-up selection goes beyond basic Halloween costumes. You'll find well-made knight armor sets, princess outfits, pirate gear, superhero capes, and animal costumes that are designed for everyday play, not just October. Kids can try things on, which turns a quick stop into a 20-minute dress-up session. Staff are used to it and happy to help kids find the right size.

Beyond costumes, the store carries wooden swords, dragon figurines, castle playsets, and other medieval and fantasy-themed toys. It's a niche shop, but it fills that niche perfectly. If your kid is into knights, princesses, dragons, or make-believe in general, this is their store.

Camelot Kids is located in the Granville Island complex at 1496 Cartwright Street, close to the Kids Market, Public Market, and waterfront paths. It's a natural add-on to a Granville Island visit — duck in for 15-30 minutes between the market and the playground. Public restrooms with changing tables are available in the nearby Public Market building.
