Long Beach Antique Market

We absolutely love coming here. They have it on the 3rd Sunday of every month. On occasions they have twice a month. They have a beer stand to keep you hydrated. Plenty of Food trucks are located outside. Though there are a lot fairly priced goods, all the booths vary. Bring plenty of water, there are 100's of vendors and there's lots to see.

Great outdoor swap meet with plenty of available walking area for a good workout. Lots of vendors and an impressive offering of antique items for sale. Can be hot in the summer months so be prepared with drinking water/beverages and a hat.

amazing experience, everything you'd expect and more from a flea market swap meet .

Love walking thru and just looking! Very nostalgic.

This market is huge, I spent four hours there and I don't think I have managed to enter all the stalls. The big selling point for me is the vintage clothing, the quality and the variety is really high, but there are plenty of stalls that sell antique furniture, jewelry and more. Plenty of parking on site, there's a $10 entrance fee to be paid in cash. There are three little ATM machines outside the main entrance, but it costs $5 to withdraw money from there. Inside some merchants take digital payments, but it's always preferred to have cash, they mostly preferred that form of payment. Dogs are not allowed in the market.

Great to people watch but vendors are raising their prices and sticking with them. Kinda bummed me out, more of a retail store than a swap meet. Parking is free which is a plus and a $10 entry fee

Brought my mom here and we both had a pretty good time. The sun got a little hot so we left early but we had already bought some indoor plants (which she loves) and I got some cool jewelry I found cool!! We called it in early since the sun was pretty hot and we brought no water. Other than that we will be back next month :)

What a great vintage flea market! I have to say the variety of sellers and items is amazing. Many of the sellers frequent the other flea markets in the So Cal area but this one is much easier to navigate. It's not too big, I did walk 5 miles but I went back a few times through the aisles. Some of the vendors are a little pricey but overall most are willing to negotiate if the price/item is right. Free parking and admission was cheap. You can park at the North or South end.

Love this place Go in the am You'll find the best things People are fun nice, yo I can tell they love being there and you will too

My friend had a booth here and told me to meet her here. I had no idea what I was in for it's a massive parking lot. I was walking around for at least an hour before I found her . Thank God I didn't bring a lot of money I wanted everything! $10 to get in. It's once a month, I fell in love with a piece and a booth across the way 1930s dental cabinet. I have a titanic trunk that matches perfect with it. Luckily, nobody bought it so that cabinet will be mine. Five star experience.

Of all the years I've lived here in LB, I've only just discovered this gem a couple of years ago. As with a lot of gems, this one is tucked just off the corner of freeman and PCH. Parking is very limited however, you may find yourself parking at the end of the block at times. as you come in, you'll find a Mini Concession stand were you can grab popcorn and I've heard someone even say hotdogs and beer? The staff is friendly and welcoming as soon as you come in. There's so much vintage stuff to look at in every corner of the facility ranging from vintage jewelry, records and furniture, to motorcycles and pinball machines. the place is pretty big so you can spend hours looking at everything. By far one of my favorite local vintage shops in Long Beach. Definite must.

I can always find some cool and eclectic items that I cannot find anywhere else. The flea market is very organized and clean. And fun to walk through even if I am not looking for anything specific.

This is hands down one of THE best flea markets in California! Soo many cute things! There is literally something for everyone! FREE parking is the best part! There is a $10 entry fee-Cash only -this part is unfortunate. It's $15 if you go earlier. Make sure to take an umbrella the sun can be brutal. Also, take a bag to hold all Your goodies!

$10 to enter. Very busy. Really large and crazy selection. Plenty of parking and a pick up/ drop off section. They sell beer and have a snack bar. The vendors are pricier than other places I've been but they have some unique finds.

Come between 1:00 and 2:30 as the vendors seem to come down on their prices or more willing to bargain. It took about 45 minutes for me to find something I liked but after that it seemed to snowball and I found more. Lots of vintage clothes and pieces, old albums, furniture pieces. There is some art for sell but nothing that I liked. I bought a wooden stool from an African vendor who said the stool was made in the Ivory Coast. Some other vendors are friendly, but some not so much. I think if you go you'll be able to find something but just have to be patient. This flea market is open every 3rd Sunday.

This place is AWESOME ! There is a HUGE Variety of Clothing, Plants, Decor, Modern, Vintage & Antiques. There must have been Over 200 Vendors. Prices for the most part are great you just have to SHOP around. Vendors are Awesome, Give good Service & Negotiate as much as possible. 3rd Sunday of every Month. Highly Recommend.

It's always a great day for digging for treasures. Amazing vinyl records and MCM furniture.

This is a very cool place to come and check out highly curated vendors and find all kinds of treasures. It isn't a place to really hunt for a lot of deals. I think it's gained a lot of popularity and with an increase in demand comes an increase in value. You will still find very cool one Of a kind items. Bring cash and a wagon or cart. It's pretty big and your back will give out if you don't have something to lug all your items. You can do the whole thing in one day if that's your goal.

You definitely have to get here early for the parking situation. The lot gets full fairly early. Admission costs $7 per person or .50 cents off if you check in, so don't forget to check in when you're paying at the booth. It's really a large antique market, and it's laid out so you can easily walk down each aisle and not miss a thing. There's a jewelry seller I seem to always purchase antique jewelry from. Awesome prices. But there are many other vendors, so if you are looking for something in particular, I have a good feeling you'll be able to find it here. They have a food and beverage concession stand if you need to get a snack and want a cold beer. Parking: Free

People should ask themselves why I can't find parking? Answer blame the incompetent owner who runs it.. Pure greed.. I wish somebody with a brain would buy this antique market. And run it the right way.. Smaller venue.. But, this most likely will phase out.. Because high prices from greedy sellers. People will go elsewhere. No you can't get price guide for everything.

We've been coming here for years. I think I actually prefer Long Beach over Rose Bowl because of the size. It's a bit more doable in regards to shopping the entire market. So many bargains and unique vintage and antique gems. It's a must stop for sure.

Oh man I wish I had more Sunday's off because I definitely want to come back. I actually can't wait to have my own place so I can start buying more vintage furniture. So much to buy and see. I love all the kitchen plates and bowls. Such a huge selection of old school sets that I remember from my childhood. Toys galore too! From Legos to action figures. Definitely if you are looking for that old Ninja Turtle set or the missing Pop! That you can't find, I'm pretty sure you can find it here. If you sign up for the email list, you get a discount coupon which is pretty cool. I definitely recommend coming early to make sure you get all the best items early before they are gone.

A ton of antiques and collectibles toys and merchandise. It was our first time and definitely won't be our last. We loved and will be back soon. We just wish they had it more often.

It's very large with a variety of items being offered. My one downfall is the prices of plants !!

This is a huge antique market! I didn't realize how big it really was. There were places to shop every where you looked! Also has refreshments and snacks to purchase and has restrooms. $8/person to get in and parking is free. The parking attendants help you find a spot and the lanes are really narrow and hard to navigate the one way lanes. The shops inside are really interesting to see what they have, but some are extremely overpriced. You can haggle with them, but they don't lower their price much. Not sure if it's because of COVID that their prices are higher, but seems a little crazy to pay high for trinkets.

This used to be a great market, but it's become overly popular. Years ago you could find amazing deals, chat with the vendors, and leisurely look at the wares. Now, it is so crowded; hardly any room to walk down the aisles! The price for admission has gone way up and everything is picked over by 9:00 AM. I saw an identical side table I bought 2 years ago for $10, today for $175--and it had a sold sticker on it. It reminds me of what happened to the Rose Bowl. If you can get there at 5:00AM, it's probably still worthwhile, but for the more casual shopper, it's just not fun anymore.

I have been going to this flea market for years and love it. I've purchased furniture, french doors, chandeliers, jewelry, plants, pillows-textile, iron plant stands, vintage art, and commissioned art, handmade wood wagon and lots more!!

I absolutely love this place! One of the best flea markets in the area, and it's super big with lots of variety :)

I must admit, this here's a ton of shit. A ton of walking, with peeps squawking over prices and devices to spend so little, but not belittle the crowd of vendors with big spenders not wanting to leave without getting their due, the price of the entrance fee returned back to me. I gets a shit ton of steps on my fitbit, I even moved the bowels to take a public shit, I can't quit. I got my exercise, the wife lightened her wallet, we called it a done day, OI VEY!

A must visit! Every 3rd Sunday monthly from 6:30 am to 2:00 pm. $7 admission fee, parking is free! The flea market offers many sellers, a wide variety of unique vintage items, vintage clothing, furniture, plants and more!! Make sure to arrive early and leave your day free, it takes several hours to walk the entire flea market. There is so much to see!! Masks must be worn at all times, food and drink vendors on site. I can't wait for the next date!!

Awful greedy place The price of admission goes up and up Oct they decided to put arm price up again and when asked why I was told because we can Also they allow large groups of people to stand near toilets Also a lot of people walking around with no masks or not covering there nose Also asked 5 people working there could I bring my dog was told yes by 3 and no by two But lots of people with dogs walking around Greedy greedy people

The Long Beach antique market was an eye opener for me. When I entered with a ten dollar admission fee, I was bewildered. There were multiple people selling clothes, jewelry, collectible items, gems, jewelry and don't forget, antique furniture. There was also stands that sold succulents and that was beautiful. There was even a stand for mini figures for building brick fans who are searching for a bit of nostalgia instead of sticking to the brand names. For anyone stopping by Long Beach, don't forget to check out the Long Beach antique market before you leave.

This place is pretty darn expensive, but I definitely would recommend this market for all Long Beach locals whether it's to find a hidden gem in a pile of random goods or to simply look at interesting vintage memorabilia. I've been a regular at many swap meets in the OC/LA area, and I made the mistake that this would be similar. This place is more comparable to the Rose Bowl market than the ones at most local community colleges. Nevertheless, there was a lot of cool-looking furniture and miscellaneous items - I spent a good 1.5 hours just exploring. You are most likely not going to buy anything - a lot of the items are overpriced - but despite this, this is a pretty unique experience that I don't have any reservations recommending.

Every swap meet has its own unique vibe in association with the type of wares that are presented by the sellers. The LBC Antique Market is no different. Here, you find a vast array of other people's finds that are being resold. Of the large local swap meets this one is probably best identified as a gigantic yard sale. The way the LB Antique Market is laid out us via long rows. Up one, down the other, you never know what you will find. This swap meet can get very crowded very early, so if you want to avoid the crowds get here early. They have parking lots that are free and there is some street parking but again, the spots fill up fast. So, to avoid the hassle get there early! Overall, it is a fun shopping experience full of unusual items and unique finds. Go to shop. Or, go for fun. Recommended.

An all day affair. Tons of treasures to be found and bargained for. Lots of free parking. Lots of twists and turns you'd swear you must've missed a spot. There is an entrance fee, it costs more to be an early bird. but that's when all the good stuff is out and a less crowded. They have food and beer (!!). Suggest bringing cash for haggling, and just overall ease of transactions. Also, words of advice for newbs: it's one Sunday a month (the third), plan accordingly (vehicle space, cash, food..etc) AND if you see something you absolutely cannot live without, buy it!! Guaranteed it'll almost always be gone by the time you decide you want it.

I have been coming here for years. I love this place. I just furnished my apartment with some beautiful pieces that are real word, detailed and old. Beautifully done and unique. The price was great. Heavy and real wood. These pieces will last forever. I also like that I am supporting small business vendors and getting excellent quality.

This is a huge flea market that happens once a month. Starts pretty early about 6am I think. Costs $6 to get in cash. They have atms on site. A big plus is that they serve beer. So you can wander the rows and rows of shops with a beer in your hand. I would say the shops are a mix of old/vintage items, home decor, clothing, artwork and collectibles. I'm sure if you stay long enough and go into a lot of booths you can find what you are looking for. Some things seemed way over priced for what they were but that obviously varies by stall. I got an awesome old post card of downtown Long Beach from the 1940s for a dollar. So deals are

One of my favorite Flea Markets that I have been going to for many years, I don't go every month because so much of it stays the same, there are vendors with the same things time after time so unless you are looking for something specific or just out for some exercise several times a year might be enough for most people. Some of the things that make this a good flea market Free Parking - and lots of it - Park in the structure you can usually find a closer spot than in the big lot Cheap Admission - $6.00 as of this writing, and no ridiculous early bird prices like at the Rose Bowl and some other shows. Large number of vendors, many are the same month after month, but there are sometimes a few newer ones. Check their schedule they have a smaller show on a couple of 5th Sundays each year, better chance of seeing something new at these shows. Hints - Bring Cash, but if you need more, walk over by the parking structure and use the credit union ATM, not one of the ones near the entrances and scattered through out the venue - You will save yourself some hard earned money. Come early and beat the heat and the crowds, you only save 50 cents with their coupons, and the lines are much longer after 8am when people are using the coupons

Fun place lots of fun things to see and explore had fun walking around here seeing what cool and interesting things there were to find

Don't feel comfortable here. I saw a hostile individual yelling at the security guard. Then I saw the some girl named Briana start talking crazy to the security. I personal don't feel comfortable, it's more like a swap meet to me but to each his own.

When you need more George Carlin "stuff," are tired of eBay and Craigslist, and don't feel like going all the way to the Rose Bowl for their flea market, come one and come all to the Long Beach flea market! You can find all kinds of oddities from your parents and grandparent's generation as this place is packed and perfect for those looking for vintage or antique goods. I came here looking for wood crates after being disgusted from online sales and stores charging an egregious amount for what isn't really worth much to most. I learned about the types of vintage crates-grape, orange, wine, milk bottles, soda bottles, packaging, etc. I found vendors selling them at a large range of prices pending on their condition. While most of the ones in poor condition could not be rehabilitated with ease, I found that most people would come early just for wood crates. So that being noted, take these tips to mind: 1. Come early if you know what you want. The early birds really go for iron tables and crates as soon as they can. 2. This one is big: prices aren't as reasonable as they may seem. You may, honestly, find a better deal elsewhere. So haggle and do your research. Time is money, but your quest for savings may have brought you here. I saw tables for $400-500 that may have cost $60 to build. 3. Use the Yelp check-in coupon or sign up for their mailing list. You get 50 cents off admission. 4. Be ready to walk away if it isn't good enough of a deal. These vendors know the supply and feed on your thirst. 5. Many of the Rose Bowl flea market vendors end up here, but only a certain portion of them. If you hate crowds, try this place first. 6. Parking is free at the structure nearby. 7. Wear comfy shoes and be prepared to walk around in the heat. 8. Many vendors have storefronts elsewhere, so ask them if they do and if they have other items you may be looking for. Many of them will give their business info for follow-up. 9. Really inspect what you get. There are a lot of odd items that may just be duds. I saw a crate that was termite-ridden only after I inspected it. Tools are also an area of caution. 10. Bring a cloth or gloves if you plan to handle rusted goods, and hand sanitizer. This isn't your local community college swap meet, although it's held at the stadium at Long Beach City College. So you'll find unique vendors here in comparison to local colleges in the area. It also won't be as much of a rip-off as the Melrose Trading Post, and you'll be able to get in and out of here with ease. While I didn't get a crate, I had fun inspecting the oddities I may one day accent my garage with or otherwise. It's a fun experience for most, and even better for those who have lived elsewhere and want a true taste of the real Southern California.

First time going to the Long Beach antique market & it was quite the experience! We arrived around 10am & had no problem with getting a parking spot in the main lot. I suggest working your way all the way to the back to get a parking spot! Admission was $8 per person & it was nice because there were two lines but then they opened another line in the middle for people who had exact change. This market is HUGE! So many vendors, you can spend hours here just looking at everything. It was very busy when we were there. Doesn't seem like anyone is enforcing the mask rule though as I saw a few people not even wearing masks which is concerning because it's impossible to stay 6ft away from each other. You can find so many vintage pieces here! From furniture to home decor, clothing, jewelry, plants and so much more. It truly was an adventure to shop and look around. Most vendors accept Venmo but I think they prefer cash. I wish I would have brought more cash as ALL the ATM's were out of cash & were out of service the entire time I was there which made it difficult to purchase from cash-only vendors. I found this amazing plant that I have been searching for and of course that specific vendor did not accept anything but cash. I even tried to haggle with him and ask if he could just let me Zelle or Venmo this one time but was so stern on not allowing Venmo due to people filing claims after using it. I couldn't believe that they'd turn business away like that. I ended up purchasing some artwork from another vendor & asked if I could send him extra to give me cash back and thank goodness he did! I sure wanted this damn plant lmao. I would suggest going earlier than later. We were leaving around 11:30ish and the line was all the way to the end of the parking lot. Seems like they try to do crowd control and only let so many people in at one time.

Had a great time this past weekend visiting the LB Flea! A few items that caught my eye... vintage barbies and toys, old cameras and Polaroids, succulents and air plants, comic books, handmade furniture, old records, woven baskets and rugs, leather purses, T-shirts with ET and George Michael on them and plenty of knick-knacks like buttons and old matchbooks. Here are my two cents.... BRING SUNSCREEN AND A HAT Don't discount these sunny spring days. I opted out for sunscreen and a hat and payed the price in the form of a beautiful farmers tan. BRING CASH Admission is $6 and you get to cut the line if you pay in cash. Most vendors prefer cash and it is way easier to bargain with! Check in on Yelp for 50 cents off! GET THERE EARLY Sacrifice a few AM hours and aim to get there between 8-9AM. This way you have first dibs on all the vendors AND you can beat the heat and crazy parking lot crowds. BRING REUSABLE BAGS Many vendors provide plastic or paper bags but go green and bring your own. BRING WATER AND A SNACK Stay hydrated and bring your Klean Kanteen filled all the way up! We didn't think about food prior to getting there but after a couple hours of bargain shopping and browsing, we were hungry. They sell pretzels, chips, hot dogs and beer. All looked great but we didn't want to splurge on junk food. Beer was $8 btw! Next time we will pack a sandwich and some trail mix! DON'T BE AFRAID TO BARTER At one of the vendors we visited, my sister and I were both interested in buying a couple of vintage cameras. The guy wanted $45 for each but we walked away paying $40 for BOTH. Like I said, don't be afraid to barter! SUCCULENTS Given their current popularity status, the earlier you arrive, the better the succulent selection! By 11AM when we got there, much had been picked over, including the lithops which I had intended on buying! Happy bargaining! :)

For a long time, my fellow "flea marketeers" have been telling me to check out what Long Beach had to offer. We're regulars at the Rosebowl Flea Market, but the time finally came when I made my way south to LB. There are definitely some striking differences that I noticed. I feel that its a lot less overwhelming than Rosebowl, and objects seemed to have some type of organization. I actually ended up purchasing more at the end of the day because I wasn't wasting time sifting through piles and piles of random things. I did find a lot of really amazing things that I've been searching for months. Hellllooo authentic 1960's Playboy Magazines for $5 each! And a lot of things that I didn't know that I wanted. There was a vendor with vintage locker charms and pins that were covered with a beautiful blue copper patina. However, I was very underwhelmed with the lack of clothing or denim I saw. If you're looking for that, head to Pasadena. *Elite Tips* 1. Go with a list of exactly what you're looking for. Its so easily to become distracted and leave with a bunch of junk. 2. Bring sunscreen and a hat! I've learned the hard way a few times and it isn't fun. 3. I've found its easier to barter lower prices towards the end of the day. Going in the morning brings better selection, but going later brings lower costs. Its really a personal preference. 4. Bring cash!

I really like this flea market. It's like a huge outdoor thrift shop with a lot of cool finds. If you're a fan of vintage/antique goods, you'll love it here. However, it is a bit time consuming because you literally have to comb through racks of items to find something good. Most of the vendors are really friendly and are usually open to bargaining so don't be afraid to ask for a lower price. I'd recommend bringing cash, since there are very few vendors that take credit card. Cons: You have to go early to get the good stuff or pay $12 for early entry. It's $6 for an adult to enter.

I might consider coming back if you wave the mask requirement. It's absolutely ridiculous to wear them outside. The little power tripped, frightened man? at the gate accused my healthy husband of spreading Covid as he was tying on his bandana. Most of the country is carrying on like normal. Long Beach seems more like paranoid L.A. county than the OC. Most of the sellers are great.

If you're coming to the antique market - bring exact change for entry. I got to the front of the line after waiting in the hot sun - only for the guy to put my $20 in the box and he told me, "Cash only. We don't carry change." And my friend and I was STUNNED. With out even putting up a fight, I knew other people behind me were irritated waiting in line too ‍ I did not enjoy this. Granted it was a couple bucks I lost - some of us have had a hard time during this past year. At least the vendors here are nice and want to give you more info about the stuff you're buying.

Jeans for $100. Then he proceeds to tell me he bought them for $20. Thanks! Guess I'll find them elsewhere not absurdly overpriced

One of the best flea markets / swap meets ever! I used to go to the rose bowl for over 20 years (1996). I always heard good things about the one in Long Beach. Boy were they right! Smaller and more manageable compared to the rose bowl. Less commercial. I think better dealers, better quality merchandise and better prices. No fluff! Just what a flea market should be. Exceptional source for antiques and vintage. Reasonable entry fee. Free parking. Make it a monthly commitment.

I'd been swimming regularly so my legs were strong and I was ready to walk for miles. Surfing kept my arms in shape and I was ready to lift any item that came to my attention. My feet would carry me through the paths and byways of the market to rub elbows with hundreds of other seekers. My ears could hear the better deals and my mouth would echo "Wow!", "How much?", "Maybe later" many times. My eyes would grow large and round at the bizarre and mysterious and narrow skeptically at the fakes. My fingers would hold any number of unusual, shiny or whimsical items while my gut would tell me what I could or could not afford. Yet with all this body talk, it was a bit of a surprise that all I nabbed from my search was a little head. And I wasn't even looking for heads. But it's a good head and anyone would say that a little head is better than no head at all (i.e., Marie Antoinette). And my head is so pretty. There were scores to choose from. Nevertheless, meeting up with fellow Yelper and surf pal, Stacey Z added the necessary adrenaline to keep these old bones moving ahead of the crowd whenever possible and oh, talking about bones...check out my new head (see photo).

We were there on what we now know was their last show Nov 15th and it's sad to say but I'm Glad to see they finally shut this place down. Since pandemic started and they reopened they never followed any of the guidelines and their rude staff really never cared.They allow people to walk around with no masks, no social distancing between staff or even between their vendors. We didn't last long walking around and by the time we left the cops showed up to shut them down. Don't know if I'll be coming back.

I LOVE this flea market. I have already bought so many items from here, my review is far overdue. From my experience the vendors are a pleasure to shop from. They are very friendly, I've never had an issue with bargaining ;) I've also gotten a lot of free items with some purchases. The entrance fee is fairly cheap you can always use a Yelp check in or print a coupon for $0.50 off. BRING CASH before you get there. Their ATM has a $5 cash fee. That's ridiculously expensive. They have restrooms and food for convenience, as well as beer. I love getting T-shirts and small antique things and plants for the house. Be careful, some items are over priced. You most likely can find something similar a few isles down.

This is my second time coming here and there are so many hidden gems! I bought a sitting hammock for $10! $1 succulents! Fur blanket $15! Indoor tree $30! Rug for $10! And a hand made Turkish pillow case for $60! And a cute $10 elephant which will go to a good cause, made in Cambodia! They have a great amount on good deals on Levi jeans and jackets. Good place to go with friends and family. The entrance is $6 after 8 a.m. and before it's $12. Totally worth it for some amazing prices!

This is not a swap meet...it's a flea market. The items are very hipster and vintage. It's a pretty good sized market and I had so much fun wandering around with my boyfriend. It cost $6 per person to get in and it's worth it of you're looking for antique and vintage things. The fiddle leaf fig are a lot cheaper here than the nurseries. It's about a $50 savings. Also, small succulents are $1 each. I was looking for round rugs but I didn't see any. The have this market every 3rd Sunday of the month. I recommend you checking it out at least once.

I miss all the flea markets in California SO MUCH! That was one of my favorite things to do and I have so many good memories of browsing vintage treasures. This one is only on sundays I believe possibly Saturday's and it's more of your antique vintage collectibles sort of thing. It costs $10 or less to get in which isn't bad and you can explore most of the day or however long you want! This is such a fun environment and I love all the vendors everyone is super friendly and it's a fun atmosphere and you'll always find something unique and exciting.

Have visited here over the years but now its so expensive that its no fun anymore. First, they have a $6. per person cover charge. Then, anything that is somewhat nice is ridiculously overpriced. I collect vintage paintings and prints from the 20's - 50's. Everything that I saw here had high retail prices and in terrible condition. These "dealers" for the most part, are garbage pickers who have no clue about market values and condition issues. One guy had a completely destroyed painting with a giant hole in it, the size of a head and the rest of the painting was too far gone to restore. He wanted $200. for it and told me that I could restore it and it would be worth $30,000. What a jerk! Long Beach has some wonderful antique stores and the prices are reasonable. I would never waste my time here again.

This is a great place to spend a weekend afternoon.. if you're into antiques and vintage stuff that is! The fun happens the third Sunday of the month over by the Long Beach Airport and costs $6 per person to enter and I believe it's cash only. If you check in on the Yelp app, you save yourself a whopping $.50 - but every bit helps, right? For those that would like to get a little buzz while buying, the market sells beer! No surprise, the concession stands had the longest lines in the place, but it makes the afternoon that much more enjoyable if you like to imbibe a bit. Smaller than the Rose Bowl market in Pasadena, this has a lot of the same vendors (because they told me) but not as big. It still takes about 2-3 hours to get through if you're walking around a decent pace. Like every flea market, you'll find a lot of really great vendors amongst people that seem like they are cleaning out their garages, but that's where you can find some of the coolest finds. FAVORITES: - A decent amount of old toys and games - A LOT of people selling old NES, SNES and Sega games if you still have your systems! - Great restored furniture TIPS: - Bring cash, but a lot of vendors take plastic (also helps your haggling!) - Water bottle - Sunscreen if it's hot - Maybe some shades to beat the rays - Check-in on the Yelp app and get $.50 off at the entrance - There are ins and outs if you want to leave and come back Parking is free in a nearby structure and even though it says on the website that it's not dog friendly, we saw a ton of pooches passing through the aisles of stuff. But pet owners - if it's hot out, and your sweating and complaining about the heat, imagine how your pooch feels. Bring some water for them as well! [end rant] Happy hunting!
