Super fun, had a fun small get away with my fiance just to walk around and look at everything. Eventhough half maybe more then half of the ppl there wasnt wearing a mask however we had ours on and so did the staff. Regardless we bought farm grown tomatoes, watermelons and then got our dog a giant bone she can barley fit in her mouth we probably spent less then 10 bucks total there were a ton of great deals today.
I say with sadness,this place has seen much better day,Ya see I grew up in this town in back in the day I worked here at the flea market it was a great place to go lots of vendors in fact we were so packed we had them outside everywhere now empty booths a tremendous amount of junk .Just As covid has taken so many people from all of us.It has taken the livelihood and life of many businesses this flea market is one of them.The only part for this old man,is the Amazon unclaimed freight. Not heres some really great stuff its been really great price I really didnt want to tell you about it cuz I dont want to compete against you as I can get there first anything Amazons ships, you can find it here. So come on out and give it a try.They still have good fee entertainment.Theres some pretty good food to munch on .Its not all bad, in fact just talking about it makes me feel like going t some pretty good reason to go bargains and good food family for entertainment and it only cost two bucks a car load reason why its back into this business the community will thank you for you support,and youll most likely find ya some good bargains,and that will for sure,bring a smile,and a great day.
Had been awhile since I had been to this flea market. Parking is cheaper ($1) than the flea markets I normally shop at. Found some interesting and good deals but several stalls were not open which was a little bit of a surprise/bummer. Really like the aisle that had big bin like tables with random stuff you could go through for $1 / $7 depending on the bin. Found a few really good deals in $1 bins
I dont know why this place has such low reviews. The dollar admission is nothing and worth it for the people watching alone. Some booths are expensive but have cool stuff. A few are very cheap and just want to sell things. I think anyone can find something here at a price they find reasonable as long as youre willing to walk around a bit and negotiate politely if needed. Definitely worth a stop as a break from waiting in the line for RenFest!
Very few outside vendors. Going inside was almost a waste of time as half the vendors were closed. They should Charge double to those who dont open or give discounts to those who stay open until the end. It was a ghost town at 9:30 on a saturday morning. Still managed to get a few good deals. Definitely not worth the hour plus drive. If youre close, its worth visiting.
What can I say about Caesar Creek Flea Market. Well every visit I have made has been excellent. I make the trip not looking for anything. But most of the time i always seem to find an awesome item to bring home to my kids or a simple vintage straight razor to add with my collection. Great place to shop or take the family out for a fun filled day of bargaining for that new to you item.
Staff is alway nice. I sold outside as a vendor. But, had to leave early due to rain coming in. They have reduced prices for outside vendors, this summer to $5. A space. Theres also covered spaces outside, dont know coat of those.. I had 3 spaces but because I was already packing up, they only charged me $5. (rain). Very Cool! Its clean, the customers are really nice there. Really a stress free place to work. On blacktop, so no dirt or dust. Check it out. A great variety of merchandise from new, used, collectibles, antiques. Food too. *****
This is more like an old fashioned flea market (selling actual second hand goods) than ones weve visited in other states (selling cheaply made new items bought in bulk to resell). Several eateries located on premises. Bathrooms were relatively clean, but need attention.First time weve ever had to pay a fee just to get into a market, but maybe thats common in this region. Otherwise, Id have rated it higher.
This used to be a great place to go to but the last several times I’ve come here many of the dealers haven’t even opened their stores. The one positive is Dennis and his hot wheel matchbox store. He’s always there and he always has plenty of merchandise.As for a lot of the other dealers you just never know if they’re even going to open up any time you go.
This place was awesome! Unfortunately when we went last week a bad storm had come through and flooded the flea market so a whole lot of the vendors were not there but we really enjoyed it regardless because there was still plenty there because it is so big. We found many items of interest and got some great deals from the ones who were open. Highly recommend!
I was a vendor and sold outside, the customers were very nice and this summer they have reduced outdoor spaces to $5. Ea from $19. Ea and only $15 a space under awning. My grandson was with me and he went in and bought somethings inside and told me there was a food court. He got delicious homemade Fudge a huge piece for $5. And Buckeyes. He also got me a phone holder for my van that was only $12. He told me they have dirt bikes and 4 wheelers in there, and customers were going crazy over them. A+. I drove 70 miles to set up there well worth. Ill be back.
One of the better flea markets Ive been to. Huge variety without a ton of repetition. Though there is some repetitiveness in items. Some stalls are not organized in the slightest but the deals on unique items you can find make up for it several times over.Great place to burn a day or two at.
The flea market is ran by THEIVES! Literally had been contacting them for months to continue paying for booth even though we couldn’t be in house to work it. They ignored calls, ignored messages and when we finally made it up they had took and sold all our stuff. Not once did they answer or even call us back to let us know what they were doing. POOR MANAGEMENT and will be reporting to BBB. If I could give 0 stars I would. I highly suggest you never rent a booth out.
Need more outside vendors. There was a good crowd of customers there when we went. Better than last time we were there. This is a market that is definitely on the upswing and improving. I think this market has great potential as the summer moves along! Try it for yourself. Surprises await!
They found some albums that were from my parents honeymoon and other trips. Not feeling right about selling someones memories and reached out on social media. Thank goodness for that and the special women who helped put two and two together!! Feeling blessed today 😊🤗😊
I have always enjoyed coming here since I was a kid! Lots of things to look at. I was a little disappointed last time I was there about how little vendors are there. Dont get me wrong, there are still a ton of booths, but that place used to be plum full and it saddened me to see all the empty spaces! 😥😥 But overall it is a great place to go spend the afternoon with friends and/or family! Everything is super cheap and you never know what you are going to find!!! Definitely something for everyone!!!
My first time to Caesars Creek Flea Market was not a good one. While there were friendly vendors there, most of them just had a lot of worthless junk. The new to used/vintage ratio was absurd. The drive was not worth it. Had a much better experience at Traders World and Treasure Aisles.
Your typical flea market. With lots of stuff that you may or may not need. they do have a lot of good things for pets though down aisle number two I think. Snacks snack bar deli bakery food court handicapped access plenty of parking all for only a dollar. I picked up a few little knickknacks bric-a-brac paddy wacks.
What happened?!Used to be packed with both vendors and shoppers. Including outdoor food concession and live entertainment. Almost fair like atmosphere.Went there last Saturday with beautiful weather, but as we approached, we thought they were closed. There were only 10 vendors on the entire huge EMPTY parking lot. And, the outdoor sheltered section had 50% empty stalls. The indoor building didn’t fair much better. Must be under new mismanagement.Thoroughly disappointed. WON’T BE BACK.
We had a fun visit this weekend! There was a good mix of booths, something for everyone Im sure. Half werent my cup of tea, personally, so I bypassed them. But the other half had cool and fun stuff to browse. There was quite a bit of empty spaces, but it looked like several were in the process of having people moving stuff in. Will have to return in a couple weeks to check it out!We spent the most time at a ladys booth in row 5 that had toys. She took a lot of pride in her stuff, everything was clean, and if it took batteries it had batteries to show that it worked. Barbies, doll houses (with accessories), kitchen sets, action figures, cars. My favorite was the dozens of different Little People sets that included people/animals with them. Everything was decently priced. I wish I could have walked away with half the shop. Ill definitely be returning here around the holidays to shop for my son.There was a neat deli too that had meats/cheese and old fashioned candy.I love places like this because you never no what youre going to find. It can be hit or miss but we enjoy exploring as a family regardless!
This last weekend my family and I came to the market for the first time in 2 years searching listings for martial arts equipment. My wife saw your Zombie Store FB and we just had to come and visit. Those guys are the bomb and glad I came across this gem. Its hard to find good martial arts gear around here. We had a great time wondering around the rest of the market too but we WILL come back more to visit them and the rest of the people there. We will be back at least once a month if not more now.
This place has gone down hill alot. It used to have a lot of nice items, but now just seems like every other low end junk flea market. It seemed like there was more places closed than there was opened. I had been coming to this place since early in the 1980s. I then moved away for 15 years and moved back in 2008. In that timeframe, Cesars Creek seems to have gone from one of the best around, to just another junky place. Very unfortunate.😞
We are up here from the Louisville Kentucky area. We found the place to be a fantastic change from what we have at home. Great prices and a wonder of booths to look at. People were kind and the place was so clean including the restrooms. Had some food which was fairly priced and tasty. My energy ran out before the flea market did. We will definitely make in a place to stop whenever we are up this way. Well done to the crew who make it happen!
I have been frequenting this establishment for nearly a decade and was quite heart broken upon arriving at my last visit. I am dealer, and was traveling between Columbus and Dayton when I remembered this flea market was not far off my planned route. I enthusiastically drove non-stop to get to the market as early as possible. My heart was racing as I rounded the corner, expecting to see the massive outside vendor area in which I have found so many amazing items in the past. It was around eight in the morning as my car slowed to enter the flea market when I began to ask myself are they closed?I was shocked. Rather than a massive paved lot filled with hundreds of vendors, I found myself barley able to contain my emotions as I stumbled through the ten or so vendors before me.I inquired with some of the vendors as to what was going on, and the responses I received were less than warm and welcoming. I felt for these people. What little amount of vendors I spoke to told me of new management and so on.I took some pictures of the empty lot to show my wife who had accompanied me many times to the old flea market, got in my car and left.I wont be returning. There is nothing there for me.Caesar Creek Flea Market is a perfect example of if it aint broke, dont fix it.With the gargantuan Traders World and Treasure Island flea markets just around the corner, I would imagine the ghost of Caesar Creek Flea Market wont be around much longer.
I havent been here a lot, but it seems like a good place to find small businesses that are just starting out. As with any small businesses starting out and flea markets, you have to wonder able the quality of the merchandise, but I havent experienced anything bad in particular. You can get good deals here. Seems like a good flea market. I dont have much of an opinion really. I havent been to many if any other flea markets to compare it to. Air conditioned and heated inside the building. Food court area. Seems pretty nice for a flea market. Price for admission/parking is good.
I enjoy going but the Owners need to help the vendors more. The parking needs to be free on weekends until the traffic picks up. Most Vendors are hanging on by thread paying their rent and barely making it. Owners, help your vendors and they will not vacate. So many empty spots inside that it Looks like a ghost town.
A very good & affordable weekend place to go. Even though not as many vendors as it was before its big fire a few years ago, it still is one of the biggest & most popular indoor & outdoor flea markets in central Ohio. Be there early, most vendors start packing after 2:30pm. We found lots of amazing deals, well worth the $2 parking.
This place has not held up over the years. Hardly any true vendors. Mainly resell, pallet sale items, and MLM products. Gone are the many outdoor vendors with eclectic selections and oddities. Inside feels sterile and unwelcoming. Maybe its coming from a place of nostalgia but I remain unimpressed with its current state.
The flea market was great. The service I received from the cafe was horrible. They overcharged for the food. I brought it up and they corrected the price. It was still wrong. The girl working first said it was tax. Tax was on its own line like every other receipt. Then she said well thats how my register rang it up so..... I asked for the manager. She came over and said it could be tax. Now anyone knows the tax on food that cost 6.99 would not be a dollar. Not once did either of them apologize and say let me fix this. Ruined the whole experience.
Ive only lived in Wilmington for a few years, and even I can tell that Cesar Creek has gone downhill in the time Ive been here. In the past theyve had a good selection of merchandise for sale in the interior buildings, with the usual array of merchandise being sold outside. Now, walking through the buildings, it feels like many of the bigger stores have left, leaving only stall upon stall of the same junk vendors and dollar store novelties. There are still a few unique vendors there that might make the trip worthwhile, but overall dont expect to find anything of substance at a good value here.
Best place to set up and be a vendor. Best place to shop for miles around. I love this flea market. Its clean and the people there are great to be around. Most vendors will negotiabe a little on price and everyone is very friendly. The prices are great in most booths and I have not been to a better flea market in a long time.
Great location easy access from highway. Good vendors. Variety of new and used stuff. Fun place.. always decorated for the holidays. Raffles. Lively. Good food at either concession stand. Theres even ice cream. Good prices. Easy access around each shop. A great place to finish your Christmas shopping.
To all who sell brand name quality merchandise. Go somewhere else. This flea market is a place people go to get exercise. Took brand new ariat boots, $219. 99, marked them on clearance for $80. People looked like a calf looking at new gate. Market has went down hill to the creek!
I have a booth in aisle 1. If you have grown up going to flea markets like I have, you understand that flea market people are different. They are for the most part down to earth people trying to make a little money. Most of the vendors that I have met here are great people who would do anything in the world to help you even when they dont know you. That is why I encourage everyone to come shop here. You are helping support a person, not a big corporation. Shop small businesses!
Stopped by on a Sunday in February, so there were not any outdoor vendors; however, there were way more than enough indoor vendors to keep us busy for the short time we had to look, about an hour or so. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the facility and the vendors I spoke with were helpful and accommodating.
Kind of hit and miss. You never know what they will have just look. Bargains are there sometimes. I bought an unbranded guitar with F holes for 29 dollars. Needed strings an pick guard. Still a great deal. I usualy go to the grocers in the inside booth. Good deals on food items. Sometimes beef jerky for cheap. Keep my dog happy. Says no pets allowed except service animals. I have pics of pets there. One lady Ive seen pushing 2 little dogs round w ribbons in their hair in baby stroller. One guy used 2 rent booth with his monkey. The monkey take quarter from u and tip his hat. 4 so much money u got a picture w monkey. Have not seen this for a while. Usually local bluegrass bands on weekends. Sometime good entertainment and walking is good exercise.
This flea market is not representative of a good flea market. I am not sure why (maybe high rent or they all agree to raise prices), but the prices at this flea market were extremely high. Video games at multiple vendors were selling at full retail price, despite being used and years old. Clothes had much higher prices than if you were to just go to Good Will. Most vendors were rude if you tried to haggle with them. The food was the only good aspect of the flea market, so I would recommend going to another one if you know of one.
Good place to wander around when youre bored and youre tired of the Mall or Walmart. $1.25 to park as of 2016, so cheap entertainment. Excellent place for people watching. And if u need something kinda unique, or if used doesnt bother you, this is your place. I also have to mention the book stalls as particularly interesting places.
As far as flea markets go, this is one of the best. $2 to park, right off exit45 on I-71. More actual flea vendors, as opposed to $store bulk merchandise vendors. Lots of restrooms. Lots of food choices.The only suggestion I have is dont go to early or after 3:00. Weve been there at 10:30 and vendors were still setting up, and we stopped once around 3:30 and several vendor were packing up.I guess ideally you should get there around noon.
The first time I visited Caesar Creek Flea Market, it was a pleasant experience. That was years ago. I just went back there recently. I didnt see anything worth buying. The variety wasnt as good. Some of the dealers barely spoke or did not acknowledge me. They sat there, quiet. I, probably, will not return for a while.
It was mine and my fiances 1st time visiting this particular flea market and we both loved it! There are many booths to look at so you can find anything and everything 😀From tools, the best prices on name brand hygiene, snack foods, rims and tires , household items to you name it, its there just look around! They even have the food buses or whatever you want to call them you know the one that are usually at festivals and fairs!
This place use to be awesome to go to, but went today and there wernt hardly any vendors outside, treasure isle is way better they actually were packed outside with vendors, I dont recommend ceasers Creek flea market!!! Thats why I give it one star, I had alot of great memories there but just not enough vendors..
It a good plrunee to go of youre looking for unique item like a sturdy home made knife or something that you just would not find in a store in general. The place is filled with uniqe items and people two of my favorts is the stand that sells fudge and the one who sells rocks this stand has alot of types of rocks even little statues made of rock though you will see them selling coins from time to time. I just love colecting stuff like that and this store is filled with things like this one thing i bought its a statue made purely out of diffrent types of onix rock it resembles two dubs sitting one a log, and this item was hand made a true pice of art some how at the price of $5.00 their is something for everyone to the point that of you dont fine what you whanted you will find something else! But some dumb people are a bit rude or heartless even if they hide it up but unlike other situations that small batch of people DOES NOT rune. the lot of them.
Was very disappointed by lack of vendors. Market is HUGE, but MANY of the spaces are not rented. We went on a Sunday morning & 1/2 of the vendor spaces that were occupied were not open. Market opened at 9, we got their about 9:15. Wandered around till after noon and still a large number of booths still not open. Glad we only paid $2 parking to get in. Even the outdoor spaces were only about 1/2 filled. Would not return here. manager of this market needs to enforce opening times & maybe do a bit more advertising to get new vendors.
Some of the places just seemed like ppl yard sale junk but others had some nice things just need to look. Alot smaller then the other two we go too. Got to say do NOT buy dough pretzels from food court they are like rubber, they spray with water put salt on and microwave them YUCK should of asked for my $3 bucks back!
I guess if youre looking for something to do its a place to go. I was expecting more of a flea market atmosphere than permanent vendors in spaces all year round.Interconnected hallways can be confusing and looks all the same.I didnt find any amazing deals and did not purchase anything.There was music outside though seemed like a country so having his moment on stage. Food vendor was ok and nothing spectacular.There were outdoor vendors but again no super sales. Everyone trying to make a profit. Its not like the Wagon Wheel Flea Market of Florida. I was sort of disappointed.
This flea market has really went downhill. A lot of open booths. There isnt much of a variety and prices are outrageous. Used merchandise priced the same as new in stores. There were a couple hidden treasures but a lot junk antiques. Vendors arent the friendliest. I would suggest going to a different flea market.
This flea market is awful. There is very bad selection at the booths. It feels like people are just trying to sell their old trash. The booth owners tend to be super trashy and the clientele is even worse. I have been here twice and both times left early because it is just an extremely uncomfortable and disappointing experience.
This flea market had went down tremendously since I was a kid. It would be a 4 star if they still sell firearms but sadly since ohio passed a law making it illegal to sell fire arms in flea markets it has dropped down to 3 stars. They still have alot of the older store fronts and booths from my childhood and alot of newer ones which are alright in their own right just high prices for their products which again is based on the vendor. The biggest let down for me was the 3 main sat vendors have went down hill in the past 15 years which are the Candy shop in aisle 1. The old ATV shop and the old Military stock shop.The food vendors have had the biggest improvements that I have seen in the last 5 years since moving back to ohio.I really hope business picks back up because flea markets like this are hard to find now in these days of Amazon and online shopping.So with this all being said please keep showing your support in this old flea market because it is a staple of the southern side of ohio that Im sure has touched alot your hearts in your life time.
Provides a lot of vendors that are open on the weekend. Most of the vendors are pretty much permanent residents at this location. Vast variety of items at various price points. From food, to motorsport, to trinkets. Also concessions and occasionally live music with tabled seating for eating.
This is the first time I have been to Ceasars Creek in about 2 years. I was very surprised how many booths were empty. It seemed like it was more empty spots than full ones. I still found some good deals, but Ceasars Creek doesnt seem to be what it used to be. Hopefully they can draw some more vendors back.
Very disappointed when I was in there a few weeks ago. Their security guard was playing with a gun,the vendor told him to put it down it was not a toy he kept waving it all around and trying to pull the trigger. The security guard should not still have a job. And if he does he should never be allowed to carry a gun. If he dont know the difference between a toy gun and a real gun maybe hes in the wrong job. Any money I have to spend Ill take it elsewhere that security guard scares me the way he tries to handle weapons

2022-01-14I had never been to this place, and I found interesting the connexion they have in between huge trailers like. It was not 100% occupied with seller booth, and not much food but enough. There is this guy that sells or sort of toy trains if you love that, and he is super friendly. It is an interesting stop if you are traveling or in the area and need to stretch out your legs! Ah, and this place with tons if not all of the ever existing Hot Wheels models and vinyl records!

2022-07-03Its a Clean flea market. Friendly people that have booths, for the most part. I dont shop her, but do things for a change of pace. The restrooms are well taken care of. The food service areas are very clean and impressive, for this type of environment.

2022-06-21There are many vendors with a wide variety of wares and Amish baked goods as well! I drive for the Amish lady who makes the most delicious pies, bread, cookies and individual fried pies! Her name is Susie Miller and shes in building 4 .. u should definitely check out her booth! *I had previously answered a question about if they rent scooters there and said yes but they do not .. sorry for the mix up!

2022-05-07Definitely like this flea market. It isnt too overrun with cheap Chinese stuff. The people are all pretty nice and the prices are typical. Its always fun to visit when camping or visiting the state park.

2021-07-03Lots o stuff. Personally, I prefer antique malls to this type of open-every-weekend flea markets. What I DO love about these places is the chance to buy home grown veggies. ... And Amish bakery goods!
Review №7
2022-04-11It’s okay, definitely not bad. Most of the items are overpriced, a lot of the sellers are trying to get store prices for older items they have, which kinda defeats the purpose of a flea market. I prefer Traders World.

2022-04-16Large flea market, big outdoor area. Many stores inside. Mix of used/new. $2 to get in. Not many outside vendors when we went, but probably gets better as the weather gets warmer.

2022-05-24Was not impressed. We saw several items we would have purchased but, Cash only and the vending machine was broke. Unbelievable. Great place to start a business. What a disappointment.

2022-06-19Pros: very clean and spacious !!!Cons: used stuff at retail prices. Multiple isles closed. A waste of time driving there only to feel like youre at a retail store instead of a flea market 🙃
