This is a very safe and friendly swap meet or "Ramate" in Spanish.
You can feel free to bring your kids because not only are there lots of toys stands, they have bathrooms and food like popsicles and elote and even tacos and Chinese food.
The entrance is free, but be aware that many vendors will only take cash.

None of the dogs had their support vests vests on or anything but idk what that whole...
Read moreGreat place to put in some miles on your shopping cart or wagon. Lots of produce, hot food, clothes, tools, hardware, used stuff deals, etc. The big parking lot to the west is free parking, if you don't manage to get one of the close parallel parking spots. If you see a No Parking sign, don't park there. You surely will get a parking ticket where there are No Parking signs. They sometimes close the road between the matket and the big parking lot. I recommend using Lacey Blvd...
