Sure I knew what I was getting into. Another Mexican flea market. I been to many being from California,every town over 75 thousand residents has at least a little one every week. This one was not any different. Same hats, toys, clothing and tools. Same art, food, electronics and shoes. But this one has a tattoo shop that was different. So this being in the desert is nicely covered by tarps which is a great idea in thought but also traps the emissions from dozens of small generators...sickening. 100 degrees and nauseous. Last words...I bought a hat. read more

Love coming the Park N' Swap Friendly Service from all vendors. There's a variety of items. The Sonoran hot dogs are delicious. The value, depending on what you are shopping for is always good. read more

It's a great place to walk around, they have everything. I was looking for Tupperware and I had seen it before she went walking around everywhere and finally found it got a great deal. Parking was horrible. We got there at 11 AM and I think we got the last spot But it was fun. Great exercise great deals. Lots to look at. read more

Cool little spot never hard to find parking can find anything here from a pet bird, to getting a hair cut, a new used car even Tattoos. As a flea market enthusiast I always stop here when I'm in the phoenix. read more

My husband and I were researching this swap meet so we could possibly rent a space to get rid of some excess household products. Parking was free. The entrance fee was $3 per person. They did check our bags for guns they said. It was pretty much what I expected. Rows and rows of hats, clothing, tools etc. I noticed the prices were much like a retail store front. I really didn't see much discounted items. Lots of redundant merchandise. We were told it's $28 to rent a space. The main office was super friendly and helpful. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I felt safe but it was early Saturday morning. Probably wouldn't go at night. read more

Stopped by last Sunday around 1:30pm and people were starting to leave for the day. The parking lot was not too full so we found a spot towards the back. Parking was free, the lot had a ton of pot holes, and people were driving erratically so be careful. Made it on over to the ticket booth and got in line for our entrance tickets. The fee is $2 and lucky for me, military veterans get in for free. My sister bought her ticket and we went to the entrance. We walked in and and the browsing started. People watching here is so much fun and interesting. A lot of the items being sold were not my thing and a lot of the shops had repetitive items. The vendors were nice but I was getting yard sale vibes from a lot of what they were selling. We bought 3 t-shirts and a bag of kettle corn and spent about $60. There were a few food stalls and a few carnival rides that were operating at the time. I personally though, would not ride them because they look super beat up and seem like they are on their last straw.. Not sure if I would return anytime soon but it wasn't too bad either. read more

Place is dirty. People selling expired goods,coffees,lotions,foods.When buying the items,taking the items, it smells.

The swap meet is fun to check out every once in a while. It's $2 per person and masks are required. Hubs and I have came a couple times and it's pretty large with a lot of similar vendors. There are a couple that look like they are selling other peoples bulk trash throw outs but others are cool to check out. They have standard clothes vendors, shoes, tools, accessories even birds. There is food vendors and really good kettle corn vendor. Oh and it's shaded. Overall, it's a swap meet and while larger than others it's shaded and fun to look around and see what you can find. I'm sure we will be back a few times while the weather is cooler! read more

Legit one of the best swap meets I've ever been to!! Got my ears pierced for only $35, no wait (they are healing quite nicely); wide selection of clothes, snacks, accessories, shoes, and good deals all around. Plenty of parking and easy to navigate. It's nice that there was shade canopies too to help with the heat. Would definitely come back if in PHX. read more

I love park and swap! Get a hot dog, Santa Muerte Rosary, used tools, and a Saint Judas T-shirt. A perfect day.

Free parking but costs $3 per person to enter (Active military and veterans get in free). It has been many years since I have been here and I was sooooo disappointed! I read the reviews and simply concluded this is not a place for me. There are a lot of vendors however, it's overpriced junk in my opinion. They do have a lot of things from clothes, to toys to tools, fruits, veggies, food vendors and more. Three of us went and all three of us were disappointed. Didn't seem like many people were buying but I could be wrong. Based on the reviews, seems some people really like this place....not for us. read more

Fun place to visit on a Wednesday night with caution. There is no security and the parking lot is very dark. Lots of things to look at and explore. The vendors sell the same stuff and you can often get better pricing on the same item by walking to the next. Beware of authenticity on products and have fun saving some money. read more

I love this place. I usually go here a couple times a year to unload my un-wants at a fair price. One mans junk is another mans treasure. It cost $25 to rent a spot for the day. I usually sell most of my stuff and profit a generous amount from 6am - 4pm. read more

I was looking for outdoor lawn decor. I contacted Joan Wells there and she gave me a list of about 30 venders that carried exactly what I was looking for. I am in Ahwatukee so it is a bit of a drive but well worth it I dound a 4 ft metal Saguaro Cactus and a 4ft metal Agave both are beautiful and was under $300 for both. Much better prices than other local business that carry these. I lost large plants this summer in the heat. These don't need water, trimming and won't die and have to be dug up.

There wasn't a lot that I was interested in browsing through when I was here. Admission is $2 per person (Cash only) and while the actual swap meet is under shade there were huge areas of the lot that had pools of water from yesterday's rain, making it awkward to navigate around in some spots. There is an area off to the side for rides and carnival games if you bring your kids with you. Goods for sale were varied. They were mostly cheap knick-knack type items, clothing, or accessories. They did have some more unusual items for sale at the swap meet, such as a dubious looking stand selling cages overcrowded with budgies, lovebirds and canaries, and a booth selling fancy looking furniture. Off on the far side of the lot they had a lot of produce for sale, including an intriguing spiky-haired avocado looking fruit that I had never seen before. Food options are basically fast food and Mexican, offering burgers, churros, raspados, elote, hot dogs, burritos and tacos. I was starving and paid $3 for a generously sized churro heavily laced with sugar. Although served hot it was slightly stale, and it tasted like it was fried in really spent, old oil as well. We only went here really because it was a stop along the light rail when we were headed back from downtown Phoenix. I probably wouldn't venture here again since there wasn't anything I wanted to buy and the food I had wasn't very good. read more

We were surprised to see this huge Park'n Swap as we rode west on the light rail. Of course, that meant we knew we were stopping on the way back. Being on the light rail route makes quite a difference. There is an admission of only $2 per person. It's a typical flea market and lots of fun to walk through. it's also one of the biggest I've been in. There are ponies for the kids to ride, lots of odds'n ends. Some of it is new and some of it is used. There are also used cars for sale and, of course, several food vendors. We enjoyed the time we spent and if we come back to the area am sure we will check it out again. read more

Always a great place to sell excess inventory of costume jewelry.

Very rude people I would go to fiesta barn market swap meet very nice people family owned good vibes good food

This market is not for everyone. This place is not the Scottsdale mall and doesn't try to be. It is a market similar to those in Latin America or the Middle East. It's not Etsy either. read more

The worst. The new things were just like shopping at any other store, except with lower service and no protection. The rest was like a huge garage sale for stolen merchandise. A vendor tried to sell us a 128 GB phone that was actually a 32 GB phone with the 32 crossed out and a 128 written by hand. Just trashy, overpriced, and probably comprised of the things you lost from your yard or sold from your garage sale a week before. read more

We had A full day of strolling through all the vendors as this place is huge , with a little bit of everything, I mean everything, from tools to clothes to electronics to food beer and so on and on and on and on. Well you get my drift. I wasn't sure when we first pulled up we almost just turned around and left glad we didn't read more

I like this place! I go there to pick up rocks "geodes" but also to feel the positive vibes of this swap meet. We got about 20 geodes today, we're super happy! Now if you need to get make up, toys, clothes, baby stuff, phone accessories, a lawn mower, chili pepper, perfume, an area rug, grab something to eat or whatever, this is also the place for you! It is all covered, dont worry about the sun or the rain, just come on over there for a happy sun ray of Mexican charm. read more

Nice selection good cars but a lot of the same stands all selling the same kinda stuff. It just felt like it was ALL THE SAME. I had a hotdog at one of the stands and it was great but not worth the price. I feel like it could have been a better experience if they had NEW things and not all the same stuff. read more

I was lied to about a truck I bought from Gonzolo Ernesto, a car dealer at park & swap, I was told the truck had no problems & a promise that if any problems he would take care of it, no oil no transmission flood & no breaks, he won't take care of anything, he is tripping people off, don't buy anything from him, he should be in jail! Rating no stars!!!!!! Wouldn't let me post without choosing a star read more

This is the best place to find anything cheap and it has alot of things and all the workers there are the nicest

I mean if you're looking for useless crap..or just something to do..this is the place to go. I seriously feel like I'm in Mexico again when I come. I decorate cell phone cases..so I'm definitely here a bit too often, this is where I can get em at $5 a piece. There's a lot of random crap, but really noone should knock it because this is all pretty much expected out of some swap mart. This place isn't amazing..but like I said it's something to do. Don't hate. read more

Ok not the best goods you'll find for a bargain but me and my family just love walking around and seeing all the cool stuff people don't want anymore! Plus they have a hot wing stand that sells pretty good wings! 6 wings and fries for $6! Not too bad! Get the spicy because the hot taste like mild! There are rides for kids tickets are $1 for one ride and It didn't look worth it for me. The rides looked old and unstable, but if you wanna walk around and see cool stuff I'd stop by here! Admission is $2 and kids 11 yrs old and younger are free! :-) read more

Phoenix Park 'n Swap - They sell cars too! - Flea Markets Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I have a fetish for swap meets and enjoy looking for goodies. It's all about the thrill of the hunt and unknown right? Well, to be honest, this place is a bit on the predictable side, but I guess that's a good thing to an extent right? I know that I can find anything from cheap jeans, tennis shoes, knock off perfume, toys, & electronics. And let's not forget the ghetto fabulous blankets with pictures of Jesus, Tupac with a weed plant behind him, and of course a picture of the last supper. I mean you don't want the family thinking that you're some kind of 'atheist' who is doomed to the fires of hell correct? My favorite thing is to spend a dollar to feed the goats and to give them a good petting. I can't help it I dig animals t_t read more

I feel so bad for those live Midget horses. It was so hot out there, and one was limping. My wife was so bummed, and it ruined our whole shopping experience. Other than that, it's the same ol parkn swap, just getting smaller, and smaller every year. read more

Phoenix Park 'n Swap - Flea Markets Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

It's a swap meet. The 5stars is "for a swap meet, it's 5 star" I feel comfortable bringing my family here. Decent stuff. Good prices. If you can't find it in stores, you'll find it here! Where else can you grab a corn dog, get a tattoo and a parakeet within walking distance? The entry is a mere $2, and it's worth every one of those 200 pennies. The people watching is great, the food is not horribly overpriced, and the number of unique "white elephant" gifts is staggering. You can find used tools, new work clothes and even steel toe boots. Actually the boots there are quite good, I'll get some in a couple weeks. There are rides for the kiddos and a petting zoo. Fast food, cold drinks; a good sized 8pc chicken tenders with fries and 32oz drink is $9.50. A good enough deal for being food court fare. Canned beer for sale at every aisle means you can satiate your thirst and work yourself up to getting an open-air tattoo! Oh yeah, the tattoo shop next to the salon, also open air gives this place the certain je ne se quai that make this park-n-swap a true gem for me. I can indulge my "super creepy Rob Lowe" any Wed night I want. read more

This place has everything you could imagine from power tools to local honey and everything in between.Large amount of free parking and admission is only $2 for adults and kids under 60" free.We visit this place year round and never get bored of it because you just never know what you are going to find. Pet friendly as long as your pets are well behaved and leashed.Even though it is outdoors there is a metal roof over you so you can browse the many vendors comfortably under rain or shine,but dress accordingly.If you work up an appetite after walking around you won't be short on options for drinks or quick bites.Pizza,burgers,fry bread,hot dogs,or a delicious corn on the cob.If you or your little ones become overwhelmed by our valley heat make sure to grab a snow cone. All in all this is a great place to visit friendly staff and vendors that are helpful and not very pushy, everything you could find at your typical shopping mall and much more at a fraction of the price. read more

I've been coming here for 35 years, much less so in the past 15, because it has gone downhill every year since its heyday. This is what you get: Every single vendor sells the same crap. Rows and rows and rows of identical stuff. What kind of stuff, you ask? Styrofoam plates, mangos, knockoff shoes, tshirts, and toy guns dangling from the shade roof. That's your selection. You can find these items in aisle F, aisle E, aisle G, and so on. You can never escape these items, nor will you find much of anything else with 2 exceptions. There's a guy selling parakeets and a crystal shop in the front. How did it used to be? Well, this place literally had everything. Families would come and sell their garage sale stuff, mom and pop businesses would sell their handicrafts, small businesses would set up shop and sell everything from silver jewelry to baseball cards, rocks, comic books, collectibles, you name it. Those people are long, long gone. Why? What happened? Did crime get too bad? Did China literally take over the marketplace? Did Park N Swap give them the boot? I wish I knew. If it doesn't change back to the way it used to be, and the way it should be, I won't be returning. read more

First and last time. First and foremost - you won't be able to access internet on your phone, yes BLOCKED Dos - if you are vegan the only food option is nachos with jalapenos for $4.75 (comes with canned jalapenos and this runny chemical laden liquid called "cheese" possibly for the color, because it has nothing in common with cheese Tres - the bag of oranges we bought for $5 seemed like a great deal, until we got home and found out they are all dried out Glad I have not bought some toys I was hoping to get, can not imagine saving $5 and get no warranty, then return to this place, pay another $2 entry fee and hagel for refund. No but thanks no. If you have nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon and have $2 to spend, it makes for an interesting stroll... read more

The tables in the eating areas need to be soaked and power washed. All the bathrooms need to be soaked and power washed, you can hardly tell what color the floor is because all they do is drag a filthy mop around. The bathroom stall walls may have never been wiped down, ever. Your going to actually get more germs on your hands by touching everything in the bathroom to wash your hands then to just leave your hands alone and not washing them. A lot of stuff's not even marked with prices, they give you a price by how dumb you look and if you're one of their family. On the plus side, veterans get in free just show some identification that you're a veteran. Large soft drinks are $3.50, I do not know anything about the food but I probably don't want to know. read more

There are some things that must be experienced in life to truly appreciate: your first kiss, your first fine dining experience, your first swap meet. Park 'n Swap didn't pop my swap meet cherry, but it did impress me enough to forget about my real first time in Tucson. PnS, situated near the greyhound park, is a sprawling mecca of bargains galore, tchotchkes, crazy crap and some pretty useless garbage. My BFF and I have a method: We case each aisle after we get a beer or two or 5, working our way to the back of the lot. About half way through, we usually stop for wings and fries from Long Wong's, get another beer, then finish off cruising the merchants. On a side note, I'm hoping to return very soon to scout out a DVD copy of "Teen Witch" so I can have a Top That event. More than the good-to-great deals, the highlight of your visit to the PnS is people watching. Yes, Indoor Swap Meet used to have the Phony Pony Sisters (bah, where have they gone?), but PnS has such a plethora of Jerry Springer wannabes that it's worth twice--no, thrice!--the cost of admission. With the light rail station right in front of PnS, it's going to be hard for me to find excuses as to why I cannot get my entertainment and morning drink on in one place. It's my Saturday and Sunday morning therapy. read more

It seems almost sacrilegious to rate the Park 'n' Swap. The Park 'n' Swap simply is, and it waits for you to grok it in its fullness. If you wish you were in Tijuana eating barbecued iguana, the Park 'n' Swap is just a train ride away and requires no passport, just a $2 admission fee. (I have never actually parked, as such.) While I cannot vouch for the presence of actual iguana-on-a-stick, there are assorted snack foods, kettle corn, several varieties of ice cream, agua frescas, and Budweiser-with-clamato. The restrooms are also well-kept -- not up to Nordstrom's level, but better than a Walmart on a busy weekend. Probably 90% of the merchandise was made in factories in China for the purpose of being sold at swap meets, so actual bargains on anything new are a matter of perception. Just speaking from the one thing I know how to shop for, you'll do fine if you know your stuff really well -- most items are not necessarily bargains for the quality, but it's possible to score a good price on something interesting that you can't get elsewhere. The handful of used-item dealers are where the bargains are (and where I've bought). Their prices are likely to be higher than Goodwill, but they're scouring all the Goodwills faster than you are and getting there ahead of you, so they've earned their premium. Also, Goodwill does not serve tamarindo agua fresca or provide goats for you to baah at, so there's that. There are also a couple stalls of Mexican-import-type pottery that carry items not found at the Mexican Import Store in Old Town Scottsdale. Bring cash. Most everything is on a cash basis. Basically, you get exercise, people-watching, goat-watching, some possible stuff, and Mexican junk food for less than the price of a movie with drink-and-popcorn. There are worse ways to spend an afternoon. read more
