Pretty typical flea market: random cheap junk with the occasional cool thing thrown in. lmitation clothes, jewelry and accessories, used items, electronics, etc, and a few food vendors. l actually prefer this one slightly over Main Gate Flea Market, as this one doesn't have as many identical stores with tons of the same stuff.
l would probably give it a higher rating if the place wasn't so run down. The buildings are old and dank, and the facilities are rather grim looking. Health and zoning codes are most likely not being enforced very strictly. A couple of the rows of stalls actually look like the vendors might live there, and it resembles a miniature slum. Many of the vendors are either obnoxious hustlers or have limited English skills and can come across as unpleasant.
Serious warning: if you come during the summer, bring water and VERY light clothing. The interior is swamped with hot, humid, stagnant Florida air, and circulation is non-existent except for a few flimsy fans here and there.
All in all, worth coming in for a look at some bargains if you're close by. However, don't go out of your way or expect anything special, and keep your expectations...

Aug. 28, 2018 My recent visit to the 192 flea market and my experience there this time was not as expected. I met this old guy that sells t-shirts with spiritual themes and some "miracle" remedies for arthritis, back pain, etc. He wanted to show me the remedies but I was a in a rush. I said him that he can show me that in a next time. I use a cane because I have back and leg pain condition and I have felt frequently. This person get angry and told me in a sacarstic way, "enjoy your cane and your back pain". I considere this to be disrespectful to a person with a disability. This kind of vendor make that possible customers doesn't want to visit the 192 flea market again. Other vendors are kind and helpful. We wrote an email to the person in charge of the flea market and he didn't answered. Apparently they don't care about their vendors behavior with...
Read moreBelow average flea market filled with stalls full of stuff not worth taking a side glance at. Some of the food locations looked okay, but the environment obviously isn't the best. Avoid going on a hot day because there is no air conditioning.
There was a pet store in one part of the flea market with several signs that said, "No photos allowed". The entrance was on the exterior of the building, and on the way we passed a cage of chickens. There was one chicken dead on the floor with its entrails pulled out on the floor and being eaten by another chicken (picture attached). There were two more smaller cages filled with ducks and another type of bird; the cages might've been big enough for one bird, but there were so many crammed in that they couldn't move. Inside the store, it was entertaining and cool to see so many animals that are not commonly seen in most pet stores, but sad because it was very likely that they were either obtained or being sold illegally and probably not being...
