The first time I went to the Expo New Mexico Flea Market, I was hooked. Strolling through the open air market is relaxing and you get a bit of a work out. Acquiring treasure or that one of a kind collectors item is just plain fun. The market is filled with an endless sea of vendor's tables stocked with old and new treasures. Visitors will also have the option to purchase food and drink while wondering around the market.
Of course, I never go to the flea market with a purpose to buy something I need. Mainly, I go for the treasure hunt. If you choose to visit the flea market wear good walking shoes, sunglasses and bring a tote bag. Don't forget the stroller if you have a small child. You will definitely get exercise while your scouting out the bargains.
The flea market is a good source for souvenirs and unique Albuquerque gifts. If your a lover of antiques then this is your destination. Open most Saturdays and Sundays at dawn. Located on the Expo New Mexico grounds. Enter at Gate 9, Louisiana & Central. Sadly, there is a fee for parking. ATM is available on the flea market grounds.
