The Rink Antiques and Vintage — Local services in Fort Wayne

We've been excited to visit The Rink since it opened, but we've been so busy it took us a few weeks to get there, even though we live just a few minutes away. Today was our first visit.

Holy cow, we love it! The layout is roomy without feeling empty at all. The booths aren't too closed in and tight. Everything is well lit and accessible.

The feel of the place - the old skating rink floor with holdover decor from the building's former life - it's perfect. An antique mall that is inviting and fun, without being pretentious or overpriced. The booths are varied and unique, making it an enjoyable experience to check out each one as we leisurely strolled through them.

Bring cash with you - they do accept cards, but there is a 3% fee for paying with them. (There's also an ATM on site if needed.)

We're looking forward to many future visits, just a few minutes...

First time visiting; there is MUCH to see here: things you'd expect but, also a plethora of curiosities. If you want to see everything, give yourself 1.5-2 hours. There's so much space here and plenty of room to move around. Staff are friendly as well. There are also limited canned/bottled drinks to purchase, bathrooms available 🚻 There is also an ATM located inside. I love that the roller rink flooring was kept (I've fallen on that floor a few times growing up 😁) and, kept some of the bench seating as well. Nice...

Absolutely wonderful place!! Filled with many booths owned by different vendors, you never know what treasures you'll find. Staff were all incredibly kind, helpful, and pleasant. Found a whole bunch of 2000s carebears for my collection! The building is tucked behind another building, so it is a bit hard to see at first. But easily identifiable by the beautiful paintings on the outside.. well, that and it's clearly a roller rink. :)...
