Many vendors, many Items, so Many things to look at and enjoy together with my family. Everyone was safe and has everything set out perfectly. Plus the insider stores had AC which helped in the hot day we all went. We enjoyed a snow cone after shopping through many shops and finding so many goods. Can’t wait to go back and see what else we can find.

Really big has something for almost everyone. Lot a good deals. Has a lot of military items inside and out. Video games, clothes, household items, tools, food and more. If your not from there and can stop by do. Im not from there and it was well worth it. They do charge you a buck entrance fee so make sure you have cash before you go there. They have ATM inside as well.

The Raleigh market is super awesome! We love this place. It still appears covid is keeping some of the vendors away because there were plenty of empty spots. We still had fun! There was a kettle corn place there! Awesome!

Not like I remembered it to be years ago. Lots of vendors missing and not much in food choices. Still the nice shopping experience and friendly vendors.

Always a fun experience! There’s always a ton of vendors out with a huge variety of things. It really seems never ending AND there’s an indoor section with even more to explore! I love how there’s fair food available throughout the year as well! You never know what you’ll find here!

Perfect spot to get away on a Sunday morning. I agree with other comments, not a great selection of food like past years. Luckily the hot dog cart was around to save the day. An insane amount of everything and anything if you look close enough.

Its a good place to get out and walk. Plenty of vendors selling all sorts of things. Plus there is an inside part for on those hot or cold days. There is always something new to see.

Visited today (Sunday). It was okay. I suspect it will be better (more vendors) in the spring when it’s not so windy and cool out. There were a lot of great looking food trucks, a few flea market staples (e.g. booths full of household cleaning supplies and socks), some artisan/handmade niche booths, some antiques, some random junk. Inside is nice and reminds me of what you would see at any state fair expo building. If you’re looking for specific Pyrex patterns, there is a lady who has a ton. We ended up just buying hand dipped incense, dog treats, and some random framed pictures. I look forward to visiting when it’s warmer and hope there are more vintage/antique/oddities/furniture type things outside. Dog friendly inside and out is a huge plus!

If youre into flea markets, then this is definitely one to check out. Its a lot larger than I anticipated and has a large outdoor area as well as an large indoor building as well. Theres a good amount of people all searching for treasure amidst the knick-knacks. Who knows? You may find yourself something pretty special at a bargain deal. Its also worth nothing that they have some produce and edible goodies here as well.Parking isnt too bad, but it can take a bit of time trying to find a spot. There are atms there as well as some booths only accept cash only so keep that in mind as well.If anything, its interesting to check out even if only for the people watching.

Lots of interesting items. Was a very hot day great that they had air conditioned inside area.

Review №18

Very slow or no service and no one tending to their booths. I went to three different vendors for a drink or bottle of water and NO ONE at any of them? The outside wasnt worth walking through because of the lack of vendors and inside was crowded and no social distancing or mask? I thought people would be happy to be out and spending time with the family but I guess they went to other locations? Waste of a trip to Raleigh.

We go every weekend because there’s always different bargains and there is a fruit and vegetable vendor fresh fruits and vegetables at a reasonable price. It’s also a great way to get a walking exercise. I highly recommend you go you’ll be surprised at the things you can fine there

This was a huge place! So many booths. Everyone was so nice. Everyone seemed to be social distancing and wearing masks. Our group of six had a good time walking through and booth shopping. You never know what you are going to find at a flea market. I added a hand carved walnut wood cross and a vintage iron cross to my collection 😁. The only complaint was the restroom was dirty and no lights were on. Didnt feel very safe. But they did have toilet paper!

Review №39

Won’t make the drive again for a long time, used to be a great experience but now it’s like a backyard sale. Only a few booths with vintage or collectibles. Mostly food, new clothes, shoes, tires, etc.... and it has nothing to do with Covid or the weather it has to do with the way the new management is and how many of the same thing they allow in. So many of the good vendors (collectibles, vintage, antiques) are gone and this review is being made after visiting many times....I just wish the quality of the vendors would return

Great Vendors and shopping. Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable about what they are selling. There are food trucks and refreshments to purchase. There are benches to sit and take a break and enjoy the beautiful weather. Plenty of parking, except if theres a game going on. Pets are very welcome too!

The market is huge and I loved the variety of items for sale! My only complaint is the number of people smoking around the outside stands. I get severe migraines when I smell cigarette smoke so I ended up having to leave pretty quickly.

The woman that runs the flea market I believe her name is Patricia is absolutely the rudest and way out of line person Ive encountered here.i witnessed her being absolutely rude to a man that was training service dogs for veterans.she was insisting that the 2 dogs in question that were were absolutely the best behaved dogs Ive ever seen and the woman was threatening to call security because they were not on leashs.the trainer was trying to explain what he was doing and how they were being trained to help veterans and people with disabilities and that the leash interfered with the service the dogs were being trained to perform and then I noticed that she also tried to grab the mans arm and the was still yelling at him when the man tried to continue to explain and then all he could do was walk ofand ignore her as she ranted like there was something wrong with hwr.shame on u Patricia u should have more respect for him and the veterans he is trying to help.

Review №55

Was there 4 weeks ago today...very disappointed at what the crew managing the place has done...vendors that had been there over 10 years have been run out...you can tell just by the looks on their faces that most of the vendors arent happy like they were...the changes that have been made have not been beneficial...this has to be the worst management crew yet as far as adding no improvements...i used to go every weekend but I dont thinK I will return until this crews turn is OVER...management crew..SHAME ON YOU..for taking something wonderful and destroying it just so you CAN MAKE YOUR MARK....which actually IS NOT AN IMPROVEMENT IN ANY FORM. I would give less than one star if that could be done.

Most of the treasure hunt/yard sale items are outdoors. When very cold or threat of rain is in forecast, not much happening. Indoor vendors are like little stores with furniture, costume jewelry, sunglasses, toys, outdoor decor, food items, etc. Great place to spend some time for sunny days!

It was huge, lots of vendors, some good stuff and some cheap not so good stuff, lots of upcycle items. Very busy, good food, free parking and admission. You could spend hours and still not see everything.

Great place in the center of the triangle to just go and take a stroll on the weekend and see a little bit of what southern people keep locked away in their basements. Lots of antiques and old housewares, toys, and things Im not really interested in. But a good reason to get off the couch!

Be aware when you take your vehicle there! They quote you a price and when youre going to pay, they change it! They jack up the price on you without telling. They claim it was more work than they expected!! Go else where, this place is not an honest with their customers.

A terrific variety and quantity of vendors both indoors and out. Complete with a few food vendors, prepare to spend the day looking for and bargaining for treasures of all sorts. Open weekends at the state fairgrounds on Blue Ridge ave.

Despite the rain yesterday there were still vendors that were set up outside, they waited out the rain and were quickly resetting up their goods and we found all kinds of goodies from tools, household items, metaphysical jewelry and decorations. Prices were marked but most vendors were willing to haggle! They made it worth the 1 hour ride there! Thank you to all those vendors who rode out the rain!

Still the place to go if you want to support local business and vendors. Many of the shops youre used to may not have returned as a result of this global pandemic however, there are more than enough vendors still on the premises. Family friendly, Indoor and out. Food to electronics. Music to household products. Worth the trip even if you simply want to browse. Pet friendly, so bring the pups.

Review №100

Overall there are some great finds and deals to be found with the vendors outside. However, some of the vendors definitely expect to charge full or nearly retail prices for items that are clearly second hand, and they are not willing to bargain with the pricing. One vendor that comes to mind has a large selection of leather boots and shoes, however $100 is a bit excessive for a used pair of boots. The indoor area does have a very nice selection of crafty items and furniture, but again do not expect to find a bargain worth bragging about to your friends. Market, is definitely a more appropriate category for this venue than, Flea Market.
