Coming from California with many farmers markets in our own hometown we find ourselves very…read moreaccustomed to them & are actually quite spoiled. This one rates maybe slightly above average as we were able to find that awesome homemade souvenir from Canada compared to going to your run of the mill tourist souvenir shops. We probably would have had to walk into downtown for those souvenir stores but my wife decided otherwise & made a direct detour for the market. There were some savory food options as well as yummy looking desserts! We passed on those items & my wife looked straight for a particular set of Canadian homemade souvenirs. She was elated! Thankfully we happened to be in town on a Saturday when the farmer's market was only opened from 9-3 PM! Also we came prepared with Canadian money on hand to pay for our items. Woohoo! Many craftspeople were apparently very talented as it showed through their lovely artsy materials & craftsmanship. We also observed some people offering tastings of their foods too to tempt you! We heard entertainment & people were there to enjoy & there were seats for them as well! We Californians brought the sunny weather to Victoria British Columbia to enjoy fully on a lovely Saturday morning!

First time going to this market, on Saturday it was great until the booth with the homemade jewelry…read moreI think she had forks and spoons as jewelry and the massive no photo sign on her booth. I was walking around with my phone in my hand and she out of nowhere yells at me telling me to delete the photos on my phone. I was clearly very confused and the man she was talking to was very confused as my phone was by my side in my hand. But she continued to yell at me accusing me of taking photos of her or her booth I'm not sure but after I told her I have no idea what she is talking about she dropped it but no apology or anything just outright very rude and aggressive. This market was great but this one booth honestly made me not wanna go back to this market. This older woman was extremely scary. So if you see it stay clear or keep your phone out of sight unless you want your head bitten off

We'd heard about this place for a couple years and decided to make the 90-minute drive to check it…read moreout. We expected acres and acres of deals, but this was more of a self-contained K-Mart Parking lot. The online add said the hours extended to 6pm, but the website said 5pm. We arrived at 4pm and several vendors were packing up. I remember going to the Midway Swap Meat in Kent at the old Drive in. The place the inspired the Sir Mix A lot song, "Swap Meet Louie". It was 2-3x the size with an indoor area, so my expectation for this place was the same. What I saw was a lot of tools. Mostly used, but some new. A little bit of clothing and a lot of collectables like sports card, Pokémon and matchbox cars. There were also a lot of ethnic food stands and limited produce. For a dollar, you can't complain, but it wasn't worth the long traffic abused ride. I saw a couple things I was interested in and almost bought, then google search showed me I could find them new for less. The two items I did buy, were a great deal. Great place to find gift ideas, just make sure you know the value of what you're buying.

I was so happy to have a flea market near us as I love going to San Jose for their flea market! The…read morelocation is easy to get to and parking is cheap. The food was great but all the stuff that was being sold was too expensive. Overall, I would go there just to eat but it's not a great flea market.

What a fun place to explore. We took the wharf route to get there and had to climb a lot of stairs…read more It was quite brutal for my girlfriend who twisted her ankle on our walk around town. We did make it, but it was slow. I was on the search for a zipper hoodie, but didn't have any success. We're going back tomorrow so hopefully with more exploring we'll find a white one. I did get two small 4x6 prints of some original artwork. One is of the Space Needle and another is of the Pike Place Market iconic sign. I wish she was selling her originals, but I'll settle for the prints. My girlfriend got some hair ties. There was so much to see and places to explore. We are looking forward to going back tomorrow. Day 2 was even more fun than day 1. My girl friend's local cousin bought a fish do we got to see the fish throwing up close. I know it's a gimmick, but it's so fun to see, you don't want to miss out on all these touristy things as a tourist. We used the super secret clean bathrooms which was a blessing. We got lots of great fresh food. We went to the places with the longest lines indicating the food was turning over quickly. I had a list of places I want to eat at. We only made it to 2 on the list. I was disappointed that we missed the grilled salmon sandwich and chowder. We were only here 2 days so we didn't have the stomach for more food. We stuffed ourselves silly.

This is described as the tourist trap that's worth it, when I lived in Seattle everyone who visited…read moreI brought here since it feels like a small slice of Seattle. Now, years later and with my family, this was the first place we stopped at after landing. The things that have changed the most in 13 years was how crowded it was on a Monday. It felt like a weekend crowd and it terrifies me to think how busy it must get on Saturday and Sunday now. I had a route I used to take people but a lot of places have closed now. Still existing, though the lines were super super long. -The old logo starbucks, I think this is the only place that still uses the old bare chest mermaid logo. -The oldest comic book store in the world that is still operating is at Pike Place. -Flower and art market are still fun to walk through, like a farmers market every day.
