Tips for Going to a Flea Market

Plan now which flea markets you’d like to visit – Use our list to choose the flea markets that interest you the most. Be sure to confirm the days and times the market is open then block the date in your calendar now. That way you won’t forget and miss it on the date you want to go.

Be prepared to walk and stand – Typically there is limited seating, so bringing a stroller or wagon for little ones is probably best.

Protect your kids (and yourself!) from the sun – Many of the markets are outdoors with limited shade, so be sure to load up with sunscreen or wear a hat to keep the sun off your face.

Pack your own snacks – Pack plenty of water and bring along some food to snack on while you hunt for treasures. If you’d prefer to purchase your food, check to see if there will be food available to purchase onsite before you go.

Arrive early (if possible) – Shopping early helps you find the newest treasures before they’re gone. It’s also a great way to take advantage of the cooler morning temperatures and beat the summer heat.

Set realistic expectations with your kids – Let them know that they will have to wait patiently. Some of the flea markets are very popular and draw large crowds during the busy hours of the day. Be prepared by bringing a bag of activities like coloring, reading, or puzzle books to keep them occupied.

Prepare for the weather (and recent weather) – Depending on the time you choose to go, consider wearing layers so everyone is comfortable even in the cooler morning or evening hours. You’ll also want to wear shoes or boots that you don’t mind getting dirty, as some of the markets have temporary booths set up on grass that may be wet or muddy. You may even want to bring an extra pair of clean socks and shoes for the drive home.

Bring your camera – Sometimes you’ll find an item or special booth that you’ll want to remember. Take a picture of the booth location or the item you’re considering, so you know where to find it if you want to go back.

Be sure to bring plenty of cash money – Prepare for treasure hunting and/or buy tasty snacks by bringing plenty of cash money in case they don’t accept credit cards.

Check the forecast before you go – Many of the outdoor markets are weather dependent. Always check the market’s website or Facebook page if the weather forecast doesn’t look promising.
