We stopped there to check out a few items and did well... I found myself a couple of small purses which I wanted. Husband found some t shirts he liked and we both commissioned a painting of a mermaid by one of the artist there.. for our condo on siesta key. There are some junk shops as well as boutiques. Just be patient and have no high expectations and one can be pleasantly surprised.

Words cannot adequately describe this place. It’s a vast labyrinth of little stalls filled with every imaginable item that you can possibly imagine. Each stall has its own specialties. Most of it is junk. But the fun is in the hunt, if this is your thing. The downside are the “hawkers” who will accost you as you round every corner. The proprietors need to do a better job dealing with these aggressive people.

A very large market that takes hours to go through. Has many farmers market booths - but check around for prices. Some are less expensive than others for certain things. They are spread on out the outside of the buildings. You have to walk around to find them all. They have home made pickles and all kinds of food products. I picked up a fantastic bottle of balsamic vinegar. You will find used and new items. Looking forward to going back to see the rest of it.

Not worth the stop. Only a few booths that had actual antiques. Half of which were closed. The other booths were all knock offs, old tools, or sports memorabilia. They do have a farmers market in the back, however we didn’t buy anything as the prices were outrageous!! Find something else to do inside.

Where can you buy fruits and vegetables, get your teeth whitened, eyes lifted and shop individual owned flea market stalls. Large food court. It’s like a place for carnies to gather. Roof leaks so don’t go when it’s raining

Four of us ladies went here on a windy, cold Friday. I suppose crowds and pushing and shoving are a given in this type of place. We were excited to go here based on all the exuberant reviews. Alas, that just added to our disappointment. We were expecting good merchandise at garage sale (or nearly) prices but what we found, for the most part, was junk at New York prices. Some stalls were so jammed with "stuff" you couldn't find what you wanted even if they had it. There was enough variety but it all started to look the same after a while. We did not see a thing worth buying and left after a few hours empty handed. Glad to have seen it but hardly worth a 4 hour drive.

If you have time to waste, then you can meander through this confusing maze of aisles looking at the same cheap product stall after stall. There is nothing unique or amazing about the Red Barn, unless you want to stop at the farmer's market. Now THAT is worth coming for. Good variety of fruit and affordable prices The food court has interesting variety of food. From Mexican to BBQ, its not too bad.

Stopped in for the first time the other day after driving by it quite a few times on the way to St Pete and other destinations. It was pretty crowded and a little tough to get through some of the aisles, but they have something for everyone inside. Jewelry, t-shirts, hats, Florida souvenirs, knives, tools, books, clothing, signs, and much more. Found a vendor that makes custom framed pictures
of sports teams and my wife found a small shop that made plaques of different dog breeds. They have restrooms and a food court,
although we didn’t eat there. It’s worth checking out at least once. Would be a good stop on a rainy or cool day.

This is a big inside flea market. Busy and fun. Good inside activity on hot or rainy day. Be prepared as crowded. Lots of parking. Food court and booths plus vegetable market. Booths from furniture, clothing, gifts snd books. Crafts also. We stopped for soft drinks to sit and rest a while. Entertainment. Picked up books at good price in several locations, gifts and tee shirts. Fun for all. Will go again. Hint take cell phones in case you get separated.

This market is far cleaner and more organized than others in the area. There was a wide variety of merchandise , products, services and produce available. The farmers market had incredibly fresh looking food. The take out food booths did not look all that clean but there were lines of people trying to buy. I found the prices reasonable. Some great pocketbooks and shoes. There was a huge book selection for $1 each. Everything was laid out in rows so easy to keep track of where you have already been. It also had some air conditioning which would be a plus on a hot day.

Hi Ashley... For the entire Flea Market during the Summer (May thru the end of October), we are open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 4pm. (In Season, from November thru the end of April, the entire Flea Market is open also on Wednesday).
We have a Plaza Area (a Storefront section of the Market and a large produce) that is also open on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9am to 4pm.
We are always closed on Mondays.
Thank you for your question~!

Never seen any, and I suspect they would be of doubtful provenance if they did.
