Especially liked the wooden sign booth, fudge booth and Avon ladies in their own air conditioned booth. Great bargains. Will definitely go back next trip!

12th April 2016 at 00:47We checked out this place and loved it! The vendors are very friendly and know their history. There is so much to see that we have to come back. It’s a great place to spend the day. There are places to grab a bite to eat and a refreshing drink. The bathrooms are also clean.

6th July 2016 at 10:24If you want to spend a day or two this is an interesting spot. There are dealers of almost everything. I wouldn’t call it an antique mall per se because there are plenty of vendors selling old rusty “treasures” and live animals too. I would imagine it is a muddy mess if it’s raining. I found the outside vendors more engaging and once again they sold everything and anything, fruits, breads, vegetables, pottery, furniture, and everything you remember from your childhood. I would go back, my wife will pass. It’s a bit hilly so wear good footwear to roam outside. Go early for better parking.

14th September 2018 at 16:33We loved it. Stayed the night in Mt Dora and visited Renningers on the way home. There was plenty of parking and plenty of old goods. So many fleas, now, have mostly new stuff from China. Really enjoyed it and found what we were looking for. we’ll be back!

21st November 2018 at 03:07There are two distinctive markets here in separate areas. The “antique market” is located in several buildings as well as outside vendors. As an antique dealer in both Colorado and Texas, I found this market to have good quality antiques, collectibles, vintage items and other related goods. I am now living part-time in Florida and definitely plan to visit often
The actual “flea market” contains mostly new or used items of various degrees of lower quality. Would not return to this market.
