You have to stop here if you're a thrifter or even if you're just in between Milwaukee and Chicago. The mall is a two story warehouse that is the home for dozens of vendors who have their goods on display for sale. It takes awhile to look through and take in everything so give yourself about an hour to truly browse. Pricing varies by vendor so you may find the same exact item cheaper at one vendor than another. Lots of vintage Disney, baseball, Coca Cola, and Precious Moments goodies. read more

We like browsing antique stores in search of a hidden gem. The mall is off the highway and is much larger inside than expected. It is two stories on goods. Each vendor has a booth to display their items. Prices are clearly displayed and some had signs offering a discount. You need to know your prices, because some items were higher than expected. read more

Talk about a diamond in the rough! What a wonderful little shop with something for everyone. We stopped in for quick visit which turned into 45 minutes of browsing items that reminded us of the past. They have a wide variety of items such as military surplus, antique toys, a collection of antique beer glasses, and so on and so on. I was able to purchase an old Falstaff beer glass just like the ones my father used to have when I was young. It made me feel good to see after all these years. The second part of the shop has an assortment of cheeses and other perishables for sale. Stop in if you are in the area to see if they have something special for you! read more

Definitely worth a stop if in the area. It's pretty large since it has two floors, and I like that they host monthly flea markets (haven't had a chance to make it to one yet). I believe they're the first Sunday of every month. Some of it kind of has a Wisconsin Grandma attic aesthetic. Take that as you will. Some of the booths are a little empty, or some are not well organized. Again, it's consignment so that's usually standard. There's not a whole lot of variety, some of the booths had a lot of the same things. But there's still a lot of gems to be found. And a lot seemed fair priced. Also it's connected to a cheese store. That is some damn Wisconsin charm. So go antiquing, and pickup some cheese and snacks for after! read more

A bunch of cheap junk. Not my style. If you want this type of place then go to goodwill or something. People don't seem to understand the word Antique and it's so tiring how people are overusing it. Just because you have a bunch of comic books and salt and pepper shakers and costume jewelry bitch doesn't mean you have an antique shop. They are also very rude and when I go to an antique store I go to buy. Here is my latest purchase every single piece is from My new favorite antique store that most people don't know about!! read more

Just to the west of I-94 in Kenosha lies a small, unassuming, barn-like structure. You might normally pass it without a second glance. But! This is no ordinary barn-like structure! Within it holds a glorious antique mall and cheese shop (hey, this is 'Sconsin after all, you GOT to have cheese somewhere, right?) The antique portion is called Rustic Dairyland Antique Mall. And it is two floors of fabulousness. But just when you have been exhausted and overstimulated by the vast amounts of stuff, you are then transported into another world of delight - this time for the tastebuds. The cheese shop is called "Tim and Tom's" and they have pretty much any kind of flavour or type of cheese you could ever hope for. I come for the habanero cheddar, which actually has a bit of heat to it, unlike the pansy ass pepper-jack you usually see. The prices here are what I like to call "personal good". This is the kind of thing you should spend money on if it is for yourself or yourself and a good friend. These are not the kind of prices where you come to stock up for a party. So set aside a few hours and make this a stop. Either way you wont be disappointed! read more

Rustic Dairyland Antique Mall - Let's Cook it Right: Instead of the horrific, horrific way you've been doing it. Shall we? Funny book from here. - Antiques Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

We've driven by this antique mall hundreds of times (at least) but hadn't stopped until this weekend. It's a clean, organized gem of a place. Don't expect much in the way of "high end" - it's mostly smaller items of the collectable variety - think toys, glassware, brewery stuff, etc. That means the prices, for the most part, are pretty reasonable. I found that almost all of the booths were remarkably clean and well organized - not normally the case at places like this. Also, the interior doesn't have that musty smell - it's all wood so it smells like an up north cabin, which is awesome. The Mister scored an awesome German stein from the 30's for $25. As a bonus, there's a good sized cheese shop attached to the mall. They specialize in good quality WI producers and the selection was pretty good. There's old cheddars, locally made sausages, pickles, jams and some knickknacks. Price points are higher than my local Sendiks but if you're headed home to Chicago know that this is a much better stop than the Cheese Castle. read more

They have so much unique and cool stuff that it's worth a stop if you're in the area. I already have way too much stuff so I mostly went for the experience, however I wound up finding an egg shaped locket from the 1920s that I couldn't pass up. From the outside, you think "how can they call this a mall? It's one building" but it's chocked full of so many goodies. They take credit/ debit cards and the guys ringing us up were nice. You do have to ring up for the cheese separately which is only a tiny downside. I bought some havarti, mushroom and chive cheese and some sausage. I spent about $20 on the cheese and the prices were fair. There were quite a few free samples but mostly of the soft cheeses. read more

Now this is how you run a Antique store. Everything is beautifully displayed. The store is clean and the staff is helpful and courteous. Like a lot of Antique stores, different vendors display their wares in designated areas around the shop. The place is neatly organized and items of interest are very easy to find. It looked like there was something for everybody in this vast area that was full of nostalgia. I ended up with a nice piece of baseball history. In the late 50's, early 60's the Hartland Statue company made hand painted baseball statues. Unfortunately, they were high priced toys for the era and the kids who bought them usually used them as action figures and destroyed them on sight. There are very few of them left. I ended up finding one of the rarer ones at a bargain price. It's a wonderful addition to the sports collection in my mancave. Here's the bottom line: Even if I didn't purchase anything, the Rustic Dairyland Antique mall is a wonderful shop to browse through. The items are beautifully displayed, the staff is helpful and shop is well organized and clean. The entire shopping experience was quite enjoyable. read more

Three things to know if you visit the Dairyland Antique Mall: 1. It's deceptively huge inside. There are two floors of knick knacks and assorted "antiques." Items range from the mid 80s back to the late 1800s (from what I saw). Some booths are more organized than others and most booths do a good job displaying pricing and any discounts. 2. You will not have a cell phone signal in the building. I was told it's due to the metal roof. Which is a bummer if you're looking an item up or calling someone to see if they want something. 3. There's a really cute snack shop tucked inside the building. There are mixes and jellies and cheeses and other tasty treats. Oddly enough, there are other antiques that are blended in to the snack items. There isn't a lot in terms of big pieces of furniture. But there are a lot of great collectibles, records, etc. It's worth the visit but expect to spend more time here than the outside of the building may let on. read more

I've only been antiquing a couple of times, so this is a novice experience. It was a Sunday afternoon, and they had tables set up outside as well as the store open inside which I guess only happens once a month. I was able to find two pieces of depression glass outside (I don't have a collection, untill now!) I got a great little candy jar and a ferry light. Inside it's sensory overload, so much to look at, everywhere! But if you have gone antiquing before, I'm sure you're used to it. I found a few interesting things that I considered like a vintage little circus music box (ONLY $3.50! I probably should have just got it). I did find another piece of glass that I decided I needed, a vaseline glass. It's a candy/dessery tray that glows under black light - how cool is that?! They have a cool little store up front where you can get cheeses and meats, as well as sodas. We all grabbed some Sprecker rootbeer on the way out - I had a Puma Kola - KILLER! Love that stuff now! **Only bad thing was that my sister purchased two steins outside at one of the tables and then left them at the front to be watched while she was looking around inside and someone else went and claimed them. Luckily they handled the situation well and refunded my sisters money, and took down her info incase the person brought them back (although very unlikely). They should have taken a name, or an ID to hold the merchandise, or a number system....I've seen many different things before. At least they gave her the money back though. read more

Awesome experience! As others have said the outside of the building is deceptive. The inside 2 floors sure packs in a lot of cool items. Had a very good time browsing the assortment of items for sale. Prices were well marked and most were not "sticker shock" crazy. The one complaint/room for improvement could be the checkout process. My wife and I had an assortment of items that each required a separate "journal entry" into a large bound book. The young attendants were very nice but slow, and checkout probably ran 10 minutes. PS: The cheese curds were very good! But again, required a different checkout/checkout counter. read more

Tired of your same old antique stores? Looking for a Sunday afternoon destination? Then why not slide down to Hwy 142 in Kenosha? Located a short 20 minute drive down I-94 south of Milwaukee or 45 minutes north of Chicago, Rustic Dairyland Antique Mall offer two floors of well organized browsing. Most booths offer small collectables with a few random pieces of furniture speckled throughout. The first floor is mostly nicer stuff with the "junkier booths" relegated to the top floor. There were lots of glassware and bric-a-brack to peruse; much of it had the Frau and I nostalgically remembering our Grandmas using much of the kitchenware. I like searching through "rural" antique stores when I get the chance. They are typically a different mix of wares than what we normally find in the city. Rustic Dairyland is no exception. I found a sweet 1930's German pewter top bier stein with the inscription "Mann lebt nur einmal". If you remember your high school German, you will know that Drake was not the first person to pen "YOLO". Located just off I94 in Kenosha. Take the Hwy 142 exit (Kenosha Airport) and follow the signs to Bristol. Well worth the short drive. read more

ATTENTION ANTIQUE SEEKERS: IF YOU'RE DRIVING AROUND, LOOKING AT YOUR YELP APP ON YOUR PHONE, READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE YOU STOP. This place was much more like an indoor flea market than an antique mall... It was packed full of little glass collectables and a hodge-podge of single dishes and bowls, salt and pepper shakers, pictures, and stuff that I can regularly find in my local salvage place. Oh, and most of it was very over-priced. The place also reeked of scented candles...most of the items were what you could call "country decor" and items from the 70's... It you're looking for furniture, this is not the place. Salt and pepper shakers? Absolutely! Cheese, Avon and scented candles? You bet. Plastic jewelry? Tons... I'm all about quality and that's why I love antiques, but this place was more like a huge garage sale. I'm giving it 3 stars, because there's nothing wrong with the place, but if you're like me (a snob looking for really good stuff), you can definitely skip it. read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE! Huge place, lots of inventory, helpful staff, good cheese shop inside, nicely displayed, not sure why other reviewer said looked like a flea market, it's very nice inside, it's a huge modern barn. GREAT PRICES TOO! Follow them on facebook and they posts the sales they have. I could go here weekly! I do go there 2 times a month with the inventory changes. read more

If your a big antiquer and collector, this is the place for you and me. I've lived around area for quite a long time and didn't realize this hidden antique palace was even in area. The outside looks like a barn but once your inside, it's truly a hidden treasure!!!!!!! They had 2 floors full of antiques and collectibles. I love to decorate for holidays but not with new decor, everyone could do that, I like antique decor, so I found many, many items for my decorating plus some extras, and my girlfriend left with 2 antique tables for her home, We ha d a great time the atmosphere felt like being back in time, ohh and I saved best for last, the prices were the best I've found in area!!!!!!!!! read more

One of my greatest interest is antiques, especially pottery. I travel across this great country of ours and seek out the antique shops in search of that special treasure. I happened to stop here at the Rustic Dairy land Antique Mall and from the outside it doesn't look as big as it really is. I entered and was greeted warmly by the person behind the counter and then I began to wander around, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and volume of antiques in the shop. The store has two levels with a large variety of inventory ranging from toys, records, photographs, glassware, rugs, etc. and yes, even my pottery. I shopped around the store on both levels and found several items that peaked my interest which I placed on the counter and turned and shopped the entire store again. I never seem to see everything on the first shop thru. I purchased several items and thought they were fairly priced and then then my treasures were carefully wrapped for my journey. This is only the second review I have ever written on any shop I have visited. This store is definitely worth your time to check out. It is located right off the highway and has plenty of parking. I usually have a trailer in tow and still plenty of room. I hope to be in this part of the country again and I will stop by this one for sure. read more

This store is a lot bigger on the inside than on the outside! On the outside it looks like a pole barn on a farm.........but, when you open that door you'll be pleasantly surprised! Two stories of treasures. It's not a bunch of stuffy old junk that you find in some antique stores. There's something for everyone, even children. Tons of collectables (and antiques) at affordable prices. Also....... it's cheese you want, you're sure to find your favorite kind in the attached cheese shop. I love that store.................................. read more

Not a bad place for an out-of-the way antique mall & partial cheese shop. What a great combination, Huh???. The staffers are friendly. Which is a plus. read more

Best antique mall we've been to in quite some time. Great vendors. Fair prices. And unusual one-of-a-kind items that we have not found anywhere else. Displays are easy to access, and the mall flows nicely. read more

I don't know what antique mall those other reviewers visited - can you say "sock puppet"? I've stopped at this mall twice now, the second time because I could not believe it was as sad as I remembered it. It was not - it was worse. While the cheese shop is very good, pretty much everything else in this shabby creaky building is junk, junk, junk, junk, junk. Everything is dust-free and clean; hardly anything is antique OR collectible OR cool OR interesting. This is not the usual antique mall that is a picker's paradise, with a friendly kaleidoscope of interesting things. Pretty much everything in here, except the wonderful cheese, is pathetic. It could be swept into a landfill and would be indistinguishable from the rest of the trash. Do yourself a favor and drive on by. read more

I say this place has it all if you are looking for nostalgia. First time I have been here and it brought back so many memories. I bought two items cheese, garlic and onion baby dills and I forgot some sprechers root beer. Would definitely recommended this place. A little hard to find but worth it. read more

Great antique mall, 2 floors and a lot of dealers. Looks a lot bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. They have flyers stating that they will be having flea markets this summer in their parking lot, 1st Sunday of the month, can't wait. read more

The antique mall is a great place for tiquers to shop but they also have an outdoor flea market the first Sunday of the month April thru October. Selling spaces are incrediably reasonable and there is always an eclectic mixture of everything! The co-ordinator Kathy even comes around with fresh, hot, complimentay coffee while dealers set-up. Now that truly is a hostess with the mostess! Check it out..you won't be disappointed!! read more

Just to take a break on my commute, I decided to stop at this little antique mall. Lo and behold, it isn't so little! I collect Ceramic Arts Studio pieces made in Madison, WI and was delighted to find a couple salt and pepper sets that I didn't already have and at a great bargain at that! I will definitely stop again. The clerks are first rate and the cheese shop is a plus since I love a good co-jack blend. read more

I love this place. They have a great selection. The staff was so nice and helpful. It was comfortable browsing and cleaner than a lot I have seen, even their bathroom was clean & decorated with antiques. If you like antique shopping this place will have something for you. I had been looking for old Pepsi glasses for a few years & I found them here, it was great. read more

The cheese shop is nice. but that mall has always had a smell about it. Looks more like a flea market to me. The web pictures are nice, so it really surprised me of what it actually looked like inside. Not that great. read more
