Traders Village Grand Prairie is a great place to shop, eat, and explore on the weekend. There are tons of vendors with good prices, unique items, and plenty of food options. It can get crowded, but the fun atmosphere makes it worth visiting. Great Customer Service! If you haven't been then you're missing out. I've gotten furniture, saddles, and boots. read more

Traders Village - Sign - Flea Markets Near Me - Grand Prairie, Texas

It was a beautiful Saturday and we wanted to be out before the next cold front had hit dfw. I was truly impressed by this flea market! If your looking for time to be out and enjoy the day Traders Village is family friendly place to do just that. You can shop, eat, and ride rides! What's more to want!? The shops range from old to new items for Sale. The restrooms are clean and have enough stalls for a decent crowd. The food is hit and miss, I loved my mango raspa but my mexican nachos were not great. Basic fair food is available at a lower cost than most fairs. The rides seems stable and were functional but I didn't get a chance to try them out. The wind started to pick up and it was time to go. When we arrived there was a good amount of people but by the time we left it was packed. I see this being a great an afternoon 1-3 hour read more

If you like flea markets, this is definitely a place to stop when visiting Dallas. This is one of the largest flea market I've ever been in. Parking is five dollars that you pay as you pull in. I found this to be odd as I've never paid parking at a Flea Market in my life. There are the main covered areas with storage facilities that the vendors open and set their shops up every morning. There's also covered areas where vendors can set up their tables on a temporary type basis and then on the outer ring, all around are the very temporary vendors that come and go as they set up. Anything from one to several tables to sell their wears. A great variety of products as well as a food court and children's rides with a roller coaster in the middle. Plenty of food vendors scattered throughout the market as well. Lots of fun for all and great place to walk and shop. read more

Large place with lots of stalls, but it was a ghost town at 10:30am on Saturday morning. Virtually no stalls were open. What was open was new stuff being resold... not great. read more

We visited here on a Sunday afternoon expecting a nice flea / farmer's market and were greeted with a portal to a third-world country. Garbage, abused animals, unaccompanied children, stolen goods, and gunpowder fire poppers litter the entire area. The place is packed with people blasting loud music with no regard to the others around them. We walked around for a little bit and immediately left, we felt so uncomfortable. Most of the items being sold are bulk junk from Amazon or AliExpress. The conditions that some "pet" sellers were keeping their animals in brought me to tears and I filed a report with the Grand Prairie Animal Control who said that I was far from the first person to report abuse here. Not a safe place for children, families, or anyone who has a heart for animals. read more

Big place where you can find new to used items. A little bit of everything including food and drinks.

Ahh, Traders Village. Absolutely enormous. So much to see. $5 to park, free entry, and then you're off... You can seriously spend a lot of time here, especially if the weather is right. It's like an amusement park meets a farmers market meets a flea market. And flea market includes everything under the sun, from cars to furniture to antiques to new clothes to local art to seasonal decor and more. Sooooo much more. And you're allowed to barter! The grounds are covered in endless rows of vendors, rides, carnival-type games, and food and drink stands. There's a few stages and live music. Some of the vendor stand are super small, some are set up like an actual indoor store. Some are beautifully organized and some are a filled with piles of treasure to dig through. You'll find multiple produce stands with probably the largest variety of seasonal fruits and veggies I've ever seen set up outdoors, with items I'm less familiar with like different types of cactus, lychee, passion fruit, and kumquat. They seem to have every pepper, tomato, and squash; just perpetual rainbows of variety. As far as food goes, they've got several different stands and little outdoor restaurants serving things like turkey legs, corn dogs, hot links, street tacos, Thai food, funnel cakes, roasted corn and elote, nachos, slushies... Then there's a large indoor spot with AC called Gary's Grill for hamburgers, hotdogs, nuggets, fries, etc. Plenty of food options. There's even wine, beer, and those frozen wine-based "margaritas." Then there's the rides... just go look at their list online hahaha: tradersvillage.com/grand-prairie/rides/ They have rides for little kids and then bigger and scarier rides for everyone else. Bumper cars, swings, an old-fashioned carousel, spinning things and rollercoasters and a vertical drop thingy and a lot more. You pay $13.99 for a wristband that gets you unlimited rides, which is such an excellent deal. There's really so much here to entertain everyone in your family! read more

We had the best time here. I was a little worried after reading the reviews, but we loved it. There were so many great vendors. The food was fantastic!!!! Go hungry and bring cash. You'll have a great time. read more

My family and I come to Trader's Village for 3 main things - The Hot Links, the Elotes, the Turkey Legs. Everything else is a bonus like their funnel cakes and fruit cups. Coming here you shouldn't have high expectations, I mean it's in the name "Trader's" so if you're not a haggler or you expect 5 star service, do not come on the village grounds. The parking fee has gone up but it's a small fee. Would recommend coming for the experience and advise to go before the morning church crowd lets out. read more

The best part of visiting Traders Village is getting a funnel cake. I never leave without having one. The price went up and it got smaller but it was cooked fresh and it was delicious. read more

Coolest flea market I've seen since arriving in Texas. Feels like you can purchase anything here: car parts, dresses, pets (snakes! Bunnies! Puppies!), produce, cell phone accessories, cowboy boots, one place had deer heads and a stuffed bobcat! Tons of stuff for kids and there was even an amusement park with rides and plenty of places selling food and drink. This place is very cool. All the vendors had masks on and masks were required but since people do eat here I saw folks without masks. Everything is outdoors and it wasn't difficulty to socially distance so I'll be returning. read more

It's hot hot because all outside and there are restrooms also!!! read more

This place was so sketchy and I have never been so uncomfortable. I seriously felt like I was walking around in Tijuana. I went ready to spend some money but the people were so rude and were very aggressively trying to sell me on their junk. Terrible waste of an afternoon. read more

This is a fun stop if you enjoy perusing flea markets/swap meets. You can find almost anything here (tires, clothes, security vests, you name it LOL) but I will say the booths get a bit repetitive with the same toys or items. I wish there were more small businesses as opposed to mass marketed items. There was one small business that did crochet items which I adored. Traders Village is HUGE, it would probably take hours and hours to walk through the entire thing if it was at full capacity. They also have a variety of carnival rides people can go on and a plethora of food booths. The food is okay, nothing to phone home about and at times a BIT OVERPRICED ($10+ for a cup of elote?? get outta here!). It's a fun thing to go to with friends maybe once or twice but overall just okay! read more

The market is huge, but my truck was broken into while I was there. After paying to park, I would think security would be better. As I waited for police, another family came in because their car was broken into and I overheard a discussion about an assault. It's a nice market, but it seems the parking lot is a big security issue. The workers were apologetic but I feel like this is a norm here. read more

This place is huge, i was hoping to see more small businesses with foods and maybe some handmade items. Unfortunately a lot of it was items bought in bulk off of ali express/temu/amazon and being resold for higher prices. In addition, there were animals being sold by breeders (puppies/birds/rabbits) in horrible conditions encouraging impulse pet purchases which can lead to neglect and local shelters filling up. The turkey legs and drinks were good, but not worth coming back. read more

You can find everything you need in this place. Prices are reasonable. You can buy fresh vegetables, fruits, plants & herbs, trees of all kinds, clothing, furniture, tools, auto accessories, tires, electronics, toys ,household stuff,pets,and animal cages. There are several food vendors throughout the location. Great for eating while shopping. Plus there are several snack vendors which is very nice also. We went on a Sunday morning and it had a small crowed. After 12pm it started to get packed. Be ready for a lot of walking. We stayed for 2 hours and only walked a quarter of the property. A lot of the bothes selling items are all the same products. Make sure you check and double check what you buy though. Some of the items have flaws even if they are marked as new. Not sure if the vedors buy items in bulk that may have known issues or not. Entry / parking fee of $4.00 per car. It also has rides for children and lot of eateries. Opens Saturday and Sunday only. Make sure to check their web page or social media for special events they hold every weekend so you can plan around crowds. Must go once to check it out. read more

A good location for outdoor shopping. We found some good deals. I prefer when there is more used stuff for sale and less of the cheap knock off stuff. At one point I didn't feel safe while I was there. A couple of men where hanging around the atm and made me feel pretty uncomfortable. It would be nice if there was some security stationed by the atm machine. read more

Being from Southbay San Diego I've been to my fair share of flea markets/swap meets. Since my move to Texas a few years ago, I just haven't been to any that are quite like home...until now. Nostalgia was cured at Trader's Village. From produce, to clothing, cookware and home goods, to auto parts, and of course good eats and snacks and there's a lot to see. This place is huge! Parking is $4 a car without additional walk-in entrance fee. I did notice that there were a lot of vendors selling the same items, which made for less variety as a whole. Eh. I docked stars for that. Texas is hot, so be prepared to be walking in the sun, though there are some covered spots as well. If interested in selling, I think the deal is good. Currently $26 and $29 to sell under a covered area on a Saturday. Sunday is a little higher. read more

Cool but my child almost fell off pirate ship ride and the worker was laughing. It was windy and the swing went upside down

I used to love coming here back in the day......However things have kind of changed since the old days! It seems that everyone is selling the same thing you can find the same items in the store front two or three rows down... There is not much of uniqueness like it used to be back in the day. You can find so many neat things here or there... Or just walk around and eat carnival food and even take the kids to ride a few rides. It's always a blast! And you can take your own cooler with alcohol in it! There was live music, food and beverage stores on every corner. It was a culturally enriched and generally light and fun experience. A great way to spend the weekend.. read more

wonderful time!! I actually recommend to come here in march-April! not too hot nor cold. the prices here are meh. I got a hello kitty bulid a bear for my daughter! Amazing price! in Mercari they are like 80-100 dollars! the prices though when you buy stuff like fries or coke they are definitely not worth it. Great place overall read more

If I could give this place a negative 5 star rating I would. On a beautiful Saturday afternoon, our family chose to spend an afternoon at Traders Village. Little did we know that it would be a sour family outing. At the ride ticket counter they provide you with a wristband to put on to ride their mediocre rides. Our toddler was having a fit during the application of the wristband and we walked off without putting it on but intended to put it on her ankle to at least show that she has a wristband. However, this was not good enough for the attendant at the ticket counter and the child throwing a tantrum wasn't enough of a stressor but the attendant with an attitude I might add stresses that we must put it on and the father said that he's trying and will do so. The attendant didn't like his response so she calls the maintenance guy. The maintenance guy got in the father's face with an attitude and very unprofessional which then triggered the fathers PTSD and told the maintenance guy to get out of his face. After that they are met at the carousel with his toddler in his arms of security in golf carts to escort him from the property as if he had done something criminal. OUTRAGEOUS. They stole their $15 and spoiled what was supposed to be a beautiful family outing. If these are the type of problematic people working here then I don't think it's worth coming here. read more

This was a perfect thing to do on our layover in Dallas! We had twelve hrs and rented a car came here and it was such a fun day!!!!! Our littles loved the carousel and it was fun there was a roller coaster too! All the stands made it impossible to stop looking and the food!!!!! $5 elotes seemed a big spendy but oh so yummy! read more

I have thought this review for months now. How to explain my experience at this place? Do I talk about my husband turning to me as I am shopping and saying "We can get that back in the states cheaper" Ahh, hon, we ARE in the states. Do I reference other reviews saying you can purchase everything needed for 1970s pornos? ( Totally true by the way.) Do I recommend their advertised mole removal services? Do I rant about the horrible animal cruelty of selling birds in 110 degree weather in cages with no water? ( I am still thinking about calling the local police about this.) Do I mention the dude who turns to me and yells "oh my god, its like the flea markets in Brazil!". How the Hell did he know I am the American expert on Brazilian flea markets? Do I tell you about the copious amounts of alcohol available? Everything's better with alcohol. Do I just refer you to the bizarre asortment of photos I uploaded for this place? Anyway, if you love junk, wierd people watching or yummy mexican food, get yourself to this place immediately. But dont go during the summer heat, I thought I would die it was so hot in September. read more

As any frequent reviewer of my posts know, I like to periodically (annually) re-review my reviews as things can change. Sometimes businesses close, get bad, or sometimes, better. This is one of those posts. Yes, I know I've been bad about checking in, but I just had a son, so I've been a bit busy. Plus, since the Pandemic, we've been getting deliveries from here more than actually picking stuff up. If you live in the area or in the metroplex and have not gone here, you need to check it out. I still love this place, but parking is still crazy! I have been going to the Traders Village Flea Market since I was a child, and it's still largely the same. For $4 per car (parking fee), you get access to a giant thrift store/flea market/garage sale/tiny carnival/eclectic food court. If you've been to flea markets or farmers markets before, this is very much like those, but it's much larger than most. There's an entire infrastructure that isn't present at most other flea markets or farmers markets. For example, they have toilet facilities, not port-a-potties, physical structures (or stalls), where vendors can set-up shop (some are even fully enclosed), large covered areas, and of course, the more traditional just a table set up in open space. The entire area is also completely set aside for these types of activities and fully on concrete. But, when it rains, a lot of stalls shut down, but as many of the stalls are covered, the entire place does not shut down when it rains. You can buy just about anything here from fresh food, cooked food, tires, boots, to motorcycles, toys, laundry detergent, etc. But, no guns or ammo. They do sell other types of weapons though. And, they have rides too, so you can add carnival to the list above. The deals here are great, and you can find some truly unique items. But, you may have to haggle some. Just bring your phone to research items to make sure that you're getting the best deal. For example, I got a pair of boots for $150, and when I went to Boot Barn recently, they were selling the same pair for over $400. Plus, and may more importantly, you're supporting local jobs and your neighbors. No body here is a major corporation. The vendors here are your neighbors. So, the fact that you're saving a lot of money is a happy bonus. But, a major warning. This place is YUGE, so expect to spend the entire day here, and on a hot Texas day, it's going to feel like an endurance challenge. Put your sun screen on, bring an umbrella for some shade, and maybe even a rolling ice chest with drinks (yes, you can bring in outside food and drink). Do I recommend this place? Yes. Even if you live on the other end of town, it's worth the drive. read more

Had a great time today at Traders Village !! Gonna make this place a monthly stop ! Loved the elote in a cup , horchata , michalada, and street tacos !!!!! Soooo many vendors with literally everything you could image . Great prices and everyone is willing to "make a deal ". Parking was quick and easy . Only 5$ ! The girls had a Blast picking out various pop it's , slime and other gadgets . They also enjoyed the bumper cars , but were too scared to ride the roller coaster ,which looks super cool ! . Can't wait to go back ! read more

Great stalls, cool merch and interesting stuff for sale, however I'm rating this place a one due to CLEANLINESS issues the large bathrooms in the middle are HORRENDOUS, absolutely disgusting with stuff all over the stall walls, with god knows what liquids, and I've been here a couple of times, from what I've seen they NEVER clean the steel on the walls. PLEASE GET NEW CLEANERS. read more

Never even heard of this place before looking for last minute ideas of things to do around Arlington. We decided to check them out late on a Saturday afternoon and had a relatively good time. Parking was $5 but otherwise free to enter. This place is HUGE! Like, seriously huge. We walked for a solid hour and didn't even reach the other side. Most of it looks like it was a storage facility and the old storage units have been converted for people to sell out of. A very large portion of them were all selling basically the same stuff, mostly cheap and novelty type stuff. There were several that sold car parts and mattresses. Some had really interesting knives and really basically almost everything you could possibly imagine. They even had puppies and other animals. Though I don't recommend buying puppies from places like this as they are usually from puppy mills and tend to have health problems. (I'm NOT saying that they are, just that it is typical for places like this.) They even had a full-blown fair in the middle with rides and food. Overall a fun place to check out. Only downsides are there really isn't any kind of shade through most of it so make sure you either bring or be prepared to buy a LOT of water. I'd also suggest a mission cooling towel in these hot months. And sunscreen it all up beforehand. read more

Would you like a box of original Power Rangers action figures missing various appendages? Perhaps a parakeet or a husky puppy? Maybe you need an old bike or a sofa? Cell phone cover for an Iphone 8 or an LG Aristo? Then, my friend, you have come to the right place! When I first came to UTA I was scrambling to figure out how to outfit my apartment. With about $100 and a hatchback, I went that way. Ultimately, I found some great deals. I even got an old Montgomery Ward bicycle that got me to and fro before I started my internship. I got a classroom sized whiteboard. I got a shelf, a table and some kitchenware. I usually go on Saturdays in the Spring or Autumn. It's largely outdoor and susceptible to weather. They have great food, beer for sale and even carnival rides. Always a good deal, and fun, to be had. read more

I'm sad to see so many negative reviews, so maybe my review is based more on nostalgia than anything. Been coming here since I was a kid with my family. So many memories or sharing a funnel cake with my mom and riding the spinnaker with my dad. Now I do the same thing with my son. He loves coming here now too, of course all the rides could be the reason. The amusement area is much larger than it was 25 years ago! The parking fee is $4 and is cash only. I do with they had card readers, but that's how it's always been. Most vendors only take cash, very few take cards, so come with cash in hand. They do have ATMs throughout if you forget. Part of Traders Village is a true flea market with people selling their stuff, shoes, clothes, tools, ect. The other parts are vendors selling new toys, clothes, sunglasses, fruit, and all sorts of stuff. A lot of it is overpriced and cheaply made, but you can haggle the prices down a little if care to do so. They have all sorts of food and drink so everyone is bound to find something they like. Prices are pretty reasonable also. You can also bring a cooler with food, water, and beer! They have different festivals every few months. I really enjoy the Indian Pow Wow, but it is during the summer months so be prepared to sweat! Only open Saturday and Sunday. We will come out here just to walk around and drink a few beers and let our kiddo ride the rides. It's cheap entertainment and great for people watching. read more
