If youre White I seriously recommend staying away. I went with my Asian friend and a couple of guys followed us and bumped into us and it was very odd.. Maybe it was because I was wearing real gold.. Anyway I bought some socks and they shrank 50% in the dryer. Bad quality? In summary dont go here. Everything is horrible quality and probably stolen and you will likely be stabbed, robbed or have your car broken into.

We always go every Sunday. Family tradition just to walk around and have fun. Crack up at people dancing and enjoy the social life at da flea market life.

If you want to sell things the cost is pleasingly affordable. This is a great way to find things that you normally would not find at your local retail store. As we should never lowball a seller, the same goes for the seller. They should never High ball us. Competition to win you over is everywhere. Even at a flea market. Challenge. The food eatery is closed which means the restrooms and atm machine are not assessable. Have your money prior and go to the bathroom prior. If you don’t. The experience may not be as pleasant as it should

Perhaps one of the best flea markets around in my opinion. Ive been several times and I just got back today. It can be overwhelming if you let it... but there are a lot are good flea market finds to be had...some are bargains... some expensive...but still fun.

$1 entry fee. Not many people, everyone wearing mask Kind vendors, cheap cool hats, some vintage thrifting, lots of $1 collectibles. Toilet. Little outside bar. Cool offbeat stop when on way to Oakland.

Low ratings for communication. Sat in seller entrance line from 06:30am to 09:00am only to realize they stopped letting cars in as they ran out of space. Didnt bother telling anyone but the first car when line was more than two dozen deep. Wasted so many peoples time. Clearly no respect!Bottom line:Sleep over if you want in!

The restaurant has a small menu, but the food is very good since everything including the tortillas are made fresh onsite. Fewer produce vendors (3) on the day I visited, possibly because of health and environmental conditions.

I go here for fat cat tires. They offer a warranty with all their tires new or old and dont hassle you when you need to use it. In and out with fair price everytime.

You want to pay money to buy other peoples trash ️ probably 30% of what they sell here is good stuff all the rest of it its used and they want too much money for it might as well go to the store and buy a brand new

Wow- this place is huge! They have all sorts of stuff- from horse saddle to fresh vegetables. I see lits of tools stalls so Ill recommend handyman/ construction people to buy their tools. In Addition, they have children section with jumpers, bull rotate... Sundays- $1.75, Saturdays - $1.50 and weekdays- $0.50 for entrance .

This place has everything! Food, clothes, jewelry, shoes, tools, blankets, belts, kitchenware, toys and candy ..the list can go on and on. The place was clean and even had live music. Parking was awful. We wait d in line forever to get in and then had to search for a spot. We got lucky that someone was leaving as we came in. The market did feel safe. However the area it is located in did not seem safe. It was very crowded the day we were there. There is a little train for the kids to ride on.

Review №44

There are things Ive never seen before here. Thats a good and bad thing. Its dirty and sticky here. They do have live music, so if the Mexican/Latino jams are your thing, bring earplugs because it is LOUD! If you are in a lot of pain, there are massage booths with tables. I think its like $10. They have new and used items at this swap meet . Parking can take a bit. I would be extremely surprised if you went and didnt hear a crying/ screaming child. Theres a wide variety of stuff here though: furniture, underwear, fruit, spices, bikes, car parts.

Review №56

Love this place. I came here on a day where there was still smoke in the air from the Butte fires. So the market wasnt full to capacity but at least there was still enough to look at. Prices were good and it had a variety of used,new and vintage stuff from toys to electronics and knock offs. If you enjoy the outdoor feel of flea markets and exploring hidden gems then youd like this place. There is an entry fee though for adults and kids over 12. Under 12 go in for free. And its $1.50 for adults. Free train ride for kids and a bouncy castle feature.

Review №61

Dissent admission price. If you go during the week prices are low, it seems like people really want to sell and will lower the price. I went on a Thursday and admission was .50 and vendors will give you really good deals but there was fewer vendors. Went back on Friday and admission was .75 which is pretty decent still you dont pay for parking. But on Friday there were a lot more vendors but it was more expensive.

There is lot of stuff mostly new clothes and used tools. There are also some household as well as antiques here. About 300-400 sellers. Ample parking during weekdays but weekends hard to find after 11am? There is a American Latino restaurant as well as an ATM. Come prepared with a small trolley to haul stuff if you have some shopping to do.

Review №88

This is a glorified garage sale with few actual deals. Most items are cheap China garbage goods that you can find on Ebay for less then half the cost. Some hispanic merchants have used vintage toys, which are great if you have kids. Lots of used tools in poor to fair condition, but at like new used prices. Lots of junk China tools. If youre looking for cheap tools go to harbor freight. Cheap China clothes are also prevalent, but are way over priced. The hat merchants are a pretty good deal if youre into hats. Parking is awful. Overall experience is poor. There are better deals to be had, and much better ways to spend an afternoon elsewhere.

Great way to spend a sunday. Relaxing ... everyone minds their own business. Ive yet to have any problems. The micheladas are definitely not bad for the price just make sure you find one person that actually knows how to make them fresh ... with real limes. And stick with that person all day! Make sure to wear a big hat too, the sun is no joke on concrete.

Try to park your vehicle as close as possible to the Coliseum, where it can be seen. 0therwise your vehicle will be broken into.

I am not a big fan of walking in the sun. However, i find this place to have good ambiance and a good selection of food and products. They have a live band and you see people walking around drinking beer and eating. Its a fiesta in there, they are not roudy or disruptive however just people enjoying music and hanging out. The vendors have good prices and depending from who you purchase they also have good quality.

Review №99

Hit and miss. Sometimes you can find great deals other days its good for just a walk. If you fancy something specific, you might be able to find it(hence the hit and miss). They serve alcoholic beverages inside which can be nice. Best days to go are Friday and Saturday(imo). Sundays are way too commercialized and prices are higher due to how packed it is.

Prices from the tool vendors on used products you can do good on line and not fight traffic as far as produce good selection and price obtaining keys made you do better at wal-mart. The guys who sell the tires adequate pricing and you dont have to pay to frequent them they are on the parking lot area.
