watch out for stolen items in the swap meet....I located my phone at the swap meet 4 days ago. I am willing to pay if someone is able to find my phone. it is a red iphone 13. I already reported stolen and the phone is locked and cannot be used.

I thought I was going to a swap meet of the old kind. Instead, I found myself in what I could call an open air market of new products. There was a lot of new clothing, new dishes and pans and pots, new tools, etc. I found one vendor that had old tools, he was selling, although not very much. Also, I didn’t find any vendor that would barter. What I found was vendors with set retail prices, just like you would find at a store. As you might tell I was disappointed.

I got nostalgia coming here. Haven’t been to a drive in since I was 12 and bringing my daughter to one made it even more special. Watched James and The Giant Peach, and buying tickets online was super easy.

AVOID. AVOID. AVOID! I had an open mind on my way to the Roadium. I grew up going to Santa Fe Springs SwapMeet as well as indoor swap meets. The Roadium is probably the worst version of both. They charge you to enter this place and I'm guessing that is the only way they make money. Charging $10-$20 for "VIP" parking is ridiculous. We were lucky to find street parking literally across the street, it was an hour of free parking. We walked across the busy street towards the entrance of the Roadium and were stopped by a heavyset security guard on a power trip. He asked us what we were doing, where were we going, and if we paid for parking? My partner was trying to explain we already parked and were just walking towards the entrance. The security guard then proceeded to tell us we were not welcomed as they do not allow "walk-ins." HAHA! What a joke. I lied saying we were actually dropped off by an Uber driver then the security guard said, "OH, you were dropped off by Uber? Okay, here is the walk-in entrance!" I couldn't believe the attitude once we paid $4 to enter. In no way is this market worth the $2/person to enter. Every vendor was selling the exact same products. Low end Target brand trash. Loads of expired food and rotting fruits & vegetables. We saw a bunch of onions sitting out in the sun. No variety in the vendor's booths, they genuinely had multiples of the items they were trying to get rid of for a terrible price. One guy was selling counterfeit designer and randomly had two interesting hoodies in his booth; the hoodies were sort of vintage, but not designer. When we asked him what he was charging for the hoodies, he made up a number on the spot and said $250. We just walked away laughing. We have been through way too many legit farmer's markets, flea markets and swap meets to ever want to return to the Roadium. We finished walking the entire market in about 30 minutes and unfortunately found nothing useful. Overall, do not waste your time visiting. There are plenty of better deals and a bigger variety of products at ANY other market.

I had one of the best experiences after an unfortunate incident. My car got a flat. Luckily Sandro was working and was able to assist me. He help me remove my tire and get a replacement in a timely manner. He was professional and gave excellent service. I will keep coming back thanks to his outstanding service. Thank a million Sandro for everything !!

Incredibly RUDE worker in the parking lot. Put stickers on ALL of our car windows saying we are "illegally parked" IN the parking lot. He said we can't be parking here. HOWEVER I pointed out that there is NO sign, NO cones, NOTHING telling us that we cannot park there. He had no defense against that. He was about to call a tow truck. I asked him NICELY to remove the stickers since we are here and he said with attitude and a look on his face "I can't do that" as he was communicating with some other worker on the walkie talkie. I could've sued if he did call that tow truck considering there was no kind of signage along with an unnecessary attitude from a d*** worker. He had a long white beard and bald head. And AGAIN. No signage in sight. Worker also couldn't point one out.

I always try to stop by anytime I'm in the area. I like how they change for the car and not the person. They have clean restrooms and food to court. The best place to find deal on foods and clothing. I

Came here on a Sunday evening in October around lunch time. The traffic coming in off of Redondo Beach made it look like this swap meet was the hot spot. Came in paid $5 to park. Parking is terrible. Luckily, I found a decent spot to park. Went in and thought I'd have a wide selection to choose from. Lol, that was definitely not the deal here. Their selection was your basic swap meet finds, which is no different than the ordinary garage/yard sales. I honestly was over this swap meet within the first aisle I walked. For those who are reading this, save your time. Don't go here. You're honestly better finding something online or on Offer Up.

So lovely to have a Drive in that is easily accessible and doesn't require me to drive like 90 minutes to a rural area! This one is right in Torrance and shows movies on Friday nights during the summer. Same location as the flea market and near lots of local businesses. Pro tip: grab some takeout nearby and bring it with you in your car at the drive in! Being that retro things are cool now I was expected a massive crowd but it was so nice to only have 10 cars there as I got a prime spot in front of the screen. They normally have a snack bar open but the night I went they didn't, and so they offered us complimentary water and coffee to make up for not having the bad open. The only thing I would improve was the audio transmission through the FM station wasn't that great as it had a low buzz to it that you could hear during quieter scenes. Still I can't complain too much. $25 per car not per person. Great deal! You can buy tickets in advance online but still it doesn't get busy (usually) you can just do it at the front entrance. They take credit cards but charge a bit to use it.

Years ago I can recall this place being the "go to" place for discounted fashion and just about anything else. I visited it months back and my first issue was parking. It was chaotic. I tried to arrange to take the shuttle from El Camino but there was too long a line. I would have walked but due to medical issues couldn't do it. There was so much "junk" that it was hard to sort through a lot of stuff. Add a whole lot of people, I just decided to leave and go somewhere else. I guess my expectations were higher but then again it's been a long time since I've been there .

Visited on Monday, 06/20/22 for the first time. HUGGGEE Flea Market (aka Swapmeet). At night this lot transfers into an outdoor movie theater (never experienced before). Somewhat ample parking but very narrow and can be challenging at times. Monday was moderately crowded. Parking was not free when we arrived. ($1.50 total - $1.00 per vehicle AND driver + $0.50 per additional passenger). This swapmeet has it all - Costco goodies, clothes, electronics, you name it. There is also a Cafe (Roadium Cafe). Overall 4/5 - I recommend bringing a hat and sunscreen as it was extremely hot when I was there.

$2 parking on weekdays and $5 on weekends. No admission fee. Sellers started packing up their goods just after 2, so it's better to show up before then. There were lots of snack stands and a public restroom. I found a lot of goodies there, from La Roche-Posay products to Stauer watches to trading cards. Every seller took a form of-non cash payment (Zelle, Venmo). You might have to do digging in piles for clothes, but no complaints!

What a great experience and so nostalgia we had here, to go back in time if just for a few hours to relive the good old days going to the drive in. The Roadium has always been around when this drive in closed in the mid 80 it was used and is currently as an open air swap market, this place is always crowed, driving on Redondo beach Blvd in between Crenshaw Blvd and Van Ness Ave you can't miss the bright yellow sign. It was $25.00 per car or truck, you could also purchase your tickets on line as well, there was a line to get in because the gates did not open till 7 pm and the movie stared around 8:15 pm staff was generally nice to everyone i saw. There was a snack bar plus restrooms in the rear, there is an armed security officer patrolling the driver in in a golf car, Oh after 9 pm they lock the gates. Ferris Bueller's Day Off was the 1986 classic movie playing that night, there so many classic old school cars, vintage and convertible vehicles, also people were dress to the drive in day. Movies will be playing every Friday night in Aug. 05, Despicable Me, Aug./12, Field of dreams, Aug./19, Gone in 60 seconds, Aug./ 26, American graffiti. Yes happy days was here again if only for three months.

This place use to be my go to for the weekend but as of late it been going down hill , they seem to always close the parking to so they can try and fill up their "vip parking" so it's always a hassle even get inside , also they have raised their prices to $5 per car on weekends ..... they've also removed all the trash cans so there's trash flying everywhere I had to walk around with trash in my hand because apparently they've removed the trash cans save your time and money and head over to Goldenwest free parking no entrance fee plenty of parking and plenty of trash cans as well

I had about 4 hours to kill one Monday on a recent business trip and found this place. Who knew swap meets would be open then? For me, the best rows were the first few where individuals pull-up and sell anything and everything. Toward the rear are the more permanent vendors where their inventory doesn't change much, or they're selling new products from China or Mexico. For vintage items though, the 1st few rows are the best bet. Although I didn't purchase anything the 1 hour I was there, I almost did and would return if I was in the area. I arrived at around 10am, by 1015, there were a few vendors from the front starting to pack up. So, its always better to arrive early.

Joy U.

Yelp
Yes this place is finally open. Not much vendors which i understand and even though it says you need masks most people don't have them on anyhow. It is a usual swap meet people everywhere and not much organization though I must say it was organized before. I got some cheap deals but as usual you have to be careful with the name brand stuff for cheap and knowing if its real or fake stuff. The food area was open and looked clean but I didn't get any food for there. Parking was free but I know its only for a limited time due to Covid.

A trip back in time! Put on your leisure suit, platform shoes and enjoy the music! You'll be amazed at the details in this place. Great staff, good drinks!

I've been to several swap meets and this by far has been the best one. They change vendors daily and some are permanent. Monday, Tuesday & Saturdays have the best all around vendors and Sundays have more house items focus things mixed with other things too and Friday has too many empty lots. $4 flat rate parking on weekends. You can find almost anything you're looking for here depending on the day you go ranging from clothes, shoes, electronics, furniture, jewelry, herbs, house items, gardening tools, outdoor gear, toys, food (check expiration dates), personal care and so much more! BRING LOTS OF CASH AND EAT BEFORE HAND. There food stand isn't great. The Carne asada plate was bland and the tortillas were stale. Fries and burgers were generic and remined me of middle school cafeteria food. It takes about 15 minutes to get your orders. I haven't tried their drive in yet due to the not so great movie options. I would rather drive 45 minutes to 1.5 hours just to have better options. @makeMePrettie definitely recommends this place and be ready to rummage through everything to find great deals!

Imagine an open air market/drive in theatre where you can shop all day and still find bargains and surprises. Then an early dinner at the food truck or snack bar, followed by a movie in the safety and comfort of your own car

Beware of this place if you go here on a Monday or Tuesday then now charging five dollars admission it used to be $.50 that is a huge increase the greed is unbelievable.

Did you know there are only 5 or so drive-in theaters left in Greater Los Angeles county? Want a unique and retro experience? The Roadium is now showing their annual summer movie lineup! For $25 per car (as of July 2020), enjoy a night under the stars watching family friendly flix! Here, The Wizard of Oz. Snack bar available. Lots of families enjoying the movie while being physically distant! Enjoy and happy summer!

Drive-In in 2020? Yes, please! Went to watch Grease with a friend and her family. Had some irritation with event staff not directing cars properly but whatever just irritating when people can't communicate properly, service lacking. However, how can you have a bad time watching Grease lol. We had an enjoyable evening. The weather was just right. Would go back for other features, just hope better organized and better communication between event staff and moviegoers.

This is a sprawling swap meet location popular among locals. They're open daily and are particularly busy on weekends. Although I don't personally see the appeal considering I don't think the prices are all that good, the people who do come here clearly seem to love it. For example, a vendor was asking $3 per stick of deodorant that was packaged in a 2-pack I can get at Target for under $5 a pack. A lot of the phone accessories seem to also be things I can get off Amazon. I guess the appeal is for people who don't have an Amazon or Costco membership? I think we paid like $7 for an agua fresca, which seemed a bit steep even though it was convenient on a warm day. I don't see myself coming back here anytime soon. Parking is a bit crazy here when it gets busy since they will close the lot and force people to drive around the block which most people don't enjoy having to do. They charge by car and occupant count, but have a free shuttle down the street located at the El Camino College parking lot across from the school. A lot of the street parking in the area is permitted, so read the signs carefully.

A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! Radium in Torrence is Bringing Back The Drive-In. A drive-in theater if you've never been to one has a large outdoor movie screen, & a large parking area for automobiles. Customers can view movies from the privacy & comfort of their own cars rather than going into a theater. As a result of the Coronavirus & with all the social distancing in place, lots of movie theaters are closed. This is the perfect time for The Drive-In to make a Triumphant Return. Drive-ins were hugely popular from the 40s thru the 70s. Then they started to tear lots of them down & put up stores, apartments & buildings instead. Less than 300 are left in the world with most being in North America. Now they are coming back once again. One of the best parts of going to a Drive-in is that you can bring in your own food in your vehicle. You can also visit the concession stand or both. Purchase your tickets in advance @ Eventbrite for $25 a carload. The movies will be shown Friday, Saturday & Sunday evenings. It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really rich to have The Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've Been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like A King On A Limited

Always a great selection of vendors and dealing with the vendors for pricing and quality items available. I really appreciate the hard work it takes for many of the vendors to set up everyday, and display their items, as this is their source of income and business.

I came here on a Sunday around 11 and there was nobody here. Most of the vendors were still here at this time, and I walked through the whole thing in about an hour. I took the free shuttle bus from El Camino and didn't have to wait long at all, though the bus was full both ways. There are no walk ins allowed on weekends, so you have to either drive in and pay for parking or walk to ECC and hop on the bus. Many of the things here are low quality mass produced bootleg garbage. Examples: fake JBL speakers and some kind of bootleg pikachu/dog plush. They sell a lot of fake headphones too. There are a few nice things here but you really have to dig and be sure of what you're looking for. There are plenty of stalls selling some good looking produce. A lot of vendors sell household cleaning supplies, including things like Kirkland paper towels split up and charged for separately. Do the quick math and you'll find it isn't any cheaper here but a whole lot shadier. Please don't buy the nonprescription drugs/vitamins they're selling here. I saw plenty of bottles sitting in the sun, and though you might not see it baking on that day, how do you know it wasn't baking last week? Same goes for the piles and piles of no brand cosmetics. You guys are really gonna put that foundation on your skin??

Seniors now pay $2.00 weekdays to enter (was $0.50) and walk-in not allowed. The vendors are friendly and the staff do good work but I'll be cutting back on my visits to the Roadium.

This is one of the greatest spots to find some great deals. Anything from household goods, toys, clothes, tools etc. I recently became a vendor at the Roadium as BST Southbay. I sell Funkos & Legos currently. #bstsouthbay. This is definitely a fun place to get a nice walk while finding some good deals especially on a nice sunny day in. South Bay

Place charges a $10 parking fee and you're only able to go in the swap meet unless you park there. Rip off scam. They offer a shuttle from el Camino college but that's just a waste of time. This place is dirty , compared to the swap meet in cypress this one is a dump.

Marlon R.

Yelp
Signs off the streets are clearly marked for general and VIP parking; I chose general parking for one car and one person for $1 on a monday. Another user here recommended that if you are rummaging and want to find unique things it's best if you walk around the outskirts of the flea market and not the core center where most vendors sell new items. I followed this advice because I search for things to resell. Good deals to be had with some vendors not so much with others but overall a good experience. Parking would definitely be more expensive on the weekend and way more crowded.

This review is for the Drive-In Theater: I recently found out about their drive-in movies and had to check this experience off my bucket list. When I read that they were planning a special screening with one of my all-time favorite movies I knew I could not miss it and it was then or never! The tickets are fairly priced at $25 per car. This venue is very well organized: we arrived 30 minutes before the movie started on a Friday after work and were able to get a spot on the second row right in front of the large screen. There is a small food court where people can purchase food but we brought our own as we felt there were not many healthy options. Everyone was wearing a mask when outside their cars - unfortunately there was not enough distance between cars. I was pleasantly surprised by the high cleaning standards of the restrooms- due to the large number of people in attendance at any given night, I was expecting a dirty bathroom but not only they had an impeccable protocol, they also cleaned the stalls after every visit. The only complaint I have is that the movie started almost an hour after the scheduled time. All in all, we had a great time, filled with nostalgia.

This review is for the drive-in theater. The website clearly states all vehicles must park 10 feet away from each other and the flyer handed out when you drive in stipulates that as well. However, the parking attendants direct you where to park and it's within 2-3 feet of the car next to you. I did not anticipate this given the clear directions on the website and the flyer and it made me extremely uncomfortable with regard to the safety of the venue. People were sitting in cars with the hatches/windows open within a few feet of each other. I went to drive away and the attendant allowed me to park away from everyone else to the side, but if you're concerned about Covid, you should probably stay away from this venue.

The Roadium isn't an Antique's Roadshow type of swap meet / flea market, as you generally won't find treasure here. It's mainly distressed goods, discounted staple items and inexpensive merchandise. Not so much collectibles nor valuables per se. Although, it's one of those places, unlike The Rose Bowl where there's too many sellers who market towards the collectors and it's near impossible to find a true hidden gem there, at The Roadium it may be like finding a needle in a haystack, but lets say if you went through a seller's CD's, VHS tapes, DVD's, toys,etc. you might be able to find something for $1 that is worth a whole lot more that's now out of print. But you need to know what you're looking for, for the most part, and have enough patience to sift through the massive often unorganized piles and stacks of stuff to find something noteworthy if you're a treasure hunter. It's very similar to the Alpine Village swap meet in that you'll find a lot of stuff that reminds you of the TV show "Sanford and Son" with used tools and random items (one person's trash is another person's treasure), and you might just find something that is otherwise hard to find or expensive if brand new here that does the job for you. It's open daily, but is an open air market, so your experience is contingent upon the weather. I like coming here for everyday items, such as disposable plates, cups and utensils as well as office supplies. They have lots of shoes and clothes, some are used and others brand new. Kids/Children's clothes and toys too. Parking is easy either in their lot or the satellite lot at El Camino College. Admission is affordable and it takes a good hour to walk the varied rows of vendors, so wear comfy shoes and bring your own ergonomic shopping bag to haul your finds. They do have food and snack vendors, but the local area also has restaurants in the surrounding neighborhood.

So I've been coming here since I was a little girl way back in the 1970s. Back then they had double-decker buses from England that would take you from the parking lot near El Camino college to the flea market/swap meet. I try to come once a year because I live far. I parked in the VIP which was $7 and it also included admission which I thought was awesome. I came on a Saturday and there was lots of bargains. Overall, I had a great time. It was great to walk around and get my steps in. Hopefully, I can come back later on in the year.

i used to come here back in HS for the shopping. never really had a desire to do the drive-in... hello 2020!!!! we've come by for 3 drive-ins now. the place is AWESOME. for all us homebound parents, stuck at the house for months, the drive-in option was an amazing reprieve from the doldrums of our day to days, week to weeks, neverending horror of seeing each in the confines of our little home!!!!!! being in the southbay, there weren't many drive in options available. seemingly, we'd have to travel to Rancho Cucamonga or Ontario or Monrovia or somewhere else out in BFE. enter the Roadium. what a Godsend! totally made a difference being able to look forward to a SAFE, socially responsible outing and still be around people. lots of space for cars here. they had staff coordinating the parking to keep sufficient distances. tickets were reasonably priced. the screen was enormous and pretty much every parking spot in the place provided excellent views. sounds system via your car radio was also very good. they have a snack bar so if you miss going to the movies and spending $8 on popcorn or $6 on a hotdog and $4.75 on soda, you can do that here! :D or, you can do what we did and bring our own snacks, food AND booze!!!! such awesome fun we had coming. we're looking forward to returning for their next season.

I feel like I know a good swap meet when I see them, but this place? Dink dink dink. A toast to the crappiest one so far. I think that's why they call it the open air market. Should be called the shitty Air filled junk yard. If they sold beer there would be more sales I'm sure. Don't waste your time on this place. The parking is a total joke, and the stuff for sale is even worse. I should've listened to the other yelpers... Boo on me..

Recently Roadium re tarred the parking lot and re painted the car slots, the problem now is they tightened the slots and now the cars are to close to each other and if you have a bigger vehicle good luck, I saw at least 10+ cars/trucks taking multiple car spots, cars parked next you will definitely hit your car causing scratches or dents, people can barely squeeze between two parked cars

Only one exit I dont understand if there was an emergency. How would people get out. I have been sitting in line for 30 minutes. This need to be reported to the city. I don't understand how a buisness can do what ever they want.

Weekends are the best times to go shopping. Best to go early. As they say the early bird gets the worm Parking can be found inside the swapmeet. I know they charge $2 for two people plus car. However you can find FREE parking at el Camino college with is two blocks west bound from the roadium. You park your car then take a bus complimentary to the swapmeet. Then it's 50 cents per person. It's best to bring cash as 95% percent only accepts cash. You can find clothes such as forever 21 dresses, charlottes rousse, Macy's, notmstrom, Nike, adidas, and other similar brands. You can find baseball hats, soccer gear, prom dresses, electronic, etc. you can find basicy anything here. You just need patience as you must fist look around. Don't always spend all your money at the first stop as other venders might have the same items for cheaper. I always come here. I always find the largest fashions.

Nice swap and meet. Lots of antique items, brand new and used items. $0.50 per person entrance fee on not so busy days. No need to pay for parking just how many people will be going inside. Got here on a Tuesday and not a lot of people so it was pretty chill. Wear comfortable shoes as you will walk a lot. Restroom also available and they are well maintain. Vendors start to pack around 1-1:30pm so best to come here early. Not too early though coz some vendors are not even set up yet. 8-9am will be the best time to go on a weekday. Will come back here on a weekend to compare and do more shopping.

If you are looking for clothes and mexican candy this is the place to go to. When making the line to get in and pay they took took while to get cars moving since they decided to close all lanes and wait a little before they continued to let the cars go in. We went on a Sunday and we paid $3. It was $1 for the car, $1 driver and $1 for me. We found parking quick after we paid. We walked around the entire swap meet maybe an hour but since I was not looking for clothes we didn't spend much time looking around.

My mother and I have been coming here for years. I want to say that my first experience of shopping was at the roadium, hah. It's changed over the years, the good and the bad. I appreciate the bus still leaves from ElCo and takes you in. I think it's now a dollar to get in as to where in the years past, it was quarters. The buses are clean and fill up quickly. They also return quickly, so you aren't waiting forever when you're done shopping. Now the grounds, they're decent. I want to say it's stand after stand of clothing, shoes, some house goods, vitamins, and electronics. There are stands of toys. The one change that I've seen is that there is more food. It takes a patient person to come here and shop. You have to stop and take time to sort through things. You have to learn the quality of items by the feel because you can't trust the tags. You also have to be willing to bargain or walk away from the stands. Overall, decent place to come and grab a few things if you're looking for a pastime. I suggest going a little earlier than later because it does get pretty packed.

Our first Drive in movie in 35 years. Paid $28 thru Eventbrite to watch one of our favorites Poltergeist. Then drove 30 min to get to Gardena. $15 for snacks. Tune into 90.1 and all we get is static. Nearest patrons get same. Everyone starts driving around to find better reception. It takes 30 min and lots of inquiries at the snack bar for the staff to come by and say sorry, literally car by car, and you'll get a refund. What a disappointment! So disorganized. All I can say is the $8 popcorn was good.

The cell shop by the men's restroom is a SCAM they're charging full price for defective charging cables.

My first time here: Come early, gets hot and crowded. Friendly tip: Park at El Camino College and take the shuttle to the swap meet. Cash is king.

The sellers have stuff thrown everywhere. Seems dirty and turns me away having to dig through junk on the ground everyone else has touched. Needs more organization, but it's $0.50-$1 to get in so I can't expect much.

I loved this place! You can definitely find some hidden gems and some cheap priced items! You just have to be patient and look into the piles of stuff. Some people are really organized...but others just throw their stuff on the floor and it's a free for all. I found some great n64 games for cheap and some appliances that were practically a streak! Definitely would recommend Only bad thing is they charge $5 to park. Really? I'm not used to having to pay to park. Little tip..I parked at target right up the street. Only about $5 walk. Also bring a cart with you to store your finds!

Love this place ! Ruthy who used to work in auctions and now works the grounds is so professional... very very strict on policy, Covid rules and regulations but does it with grace... She doesn't scold you like a child but explains the importance and assists in making it a safer place for customers.. Love this place!!!

I'm not a shopper, but I like this place because I can get a variety of fruits and snacks. From the jackfruit, to the different kinds of tasty peanuts, (roasted, spicy, super spicy, salted and plain) to the candy and the Mexican chips,oh..... Can't forget the churros, ice cream and Aguas Frescas! Now if you are a shopaholic ONLY walk in with the money met you would like to spend, leave the rest at home! Otherwise you'll end up with more than what you came looking for.
