I feel like I go back in time whenever I step into an antique store. Each booth has its own collection of vintage goodies from collectibles, home goods, clothing, books and so much more. I found so many good finds and grabbed a first edition book of Alice in wonderland to add to my library. Prices are reasonable, each vendor has their own prices so they fluctuate throughout the store. Staff were super friendly as well and helpful if you needed any assistance. read more

Lovely place. Awesome staff. If you are looking for something unique for a gift or to relive your childhood, this is the place to visit! It is packed with unique odds and ends. It's local and once there you have so many options of things to do on Main Street. Enjoy! read more

Today I bought a "9 Band FM/AM/SW WORLD RECEIVER," radio. It picks up all AM/FM frequencies. The seven short wave bands, I hear muffled talking, but not what I used to hear years ago on short wave capable radios. And I listened to all short wave bands tonight at 10:00 PM, when short wave should be bustling with world Bible studies, news, talk, and the such. Give me time, I'll finally get it! The store was full of great stuff! Great service! Great prices! read more

I visited Things Remembered recently. What stood out to me were the toys, paperback novels, wood art, and Elvis memorabila. I enjoyed exploring the store. read more

Staff are friendly and helpful. The owner is always there and an awesome guy. The selection is out of this world! They have just about anything and everything you can think of. Very nostalgic. Value depends on the vendors but i always get what I need for a very reasonable price. read more

A good selection of items. A lot of buttons, cards, etc. for old Hollywood and classic bands. A variety of antiques, figurines and quirky items. The "maybe" is due to the pricing being very high. Go if you're willing to spend a lot. Most things were significantly more than I was willing to pay. read more

Walked in here out of sheer curiosity. There are lots of things to take in so make sure you come here with time to spare. Lots of different toys and antiques from various decades. I was very intrigued by their doll selection in the back. I did not buy anything so I cannot speak to the price of the items. Employees greeted me when I arrived but I am sure they are more than happy to help if you need assistance. read more

If your looking for antique and one of a kind, look no further. First timer here and I could definitely say it's a place to say you've been. I love a good vintage and antique experience and this place has things that you'll be sure to love. It's not everyone's taste but to experience it was fun. Some things, well a lot of things seems like just a bunch of whatever's. But you they did have some amazing wall arts and trinkets. Loads of vintage and costumes jewelry for the collectors. Also, if your a cartoon lover. Look no further. There were tons and tons of old school items. Figurines, vintage lunch boxes, collectors pieces. As well as clothes. There's different cubicle that are associated with the genres and types of items. If a good walk through if you don't mind taking the time. Everything is all scattered and not in particular order but in its place. But, it's a little creepy with the dolls.... it's like, they're everywhere...lol.... Fun cool place to stop by and have a wander around. read more

7 stars out of 5! This is, by far, my favorite shop to visit in downtown Ventura. I make my way here multiple times a month. I've learned that the best time to come here is when it's raining outside. Seriously! I always find the best stuff on rainy days. And the store is less crowded then, too. The owner is awesome. The manager is super cool & all of the employees are kind & respectful. I love every single one of them. They go above & beyond every single time I visit. Oh!, did I mention that they sell the best selection of the oldest treasures for your newest obsessions?. LoL I Love it! read more

If your in Ventura California come here for the one of the best antique stores I've been too! I loved this place! Place was very roomy and great selections of stuff I ended up buying a lot of Disney (Donald Duck) antiques and a Funko POP of a POP Town Walt Disney Castle with Mickey for $59 and on the Funko App it was $70 what a grab! Definitely will be back! Staff are nice and friendly! One of the workers gave me a $10% discount! I will definitely be back one day for more haunting! Happy hunting antique collectors! read more

rip off.Do not sell to this man.I had a massive collection I brought in I mean rare and valuable items and he low balled me so bad.If I didn't have rent to pay I would have not sold to him but I needed the money.He only offered me $200 while I'm sure he made well over $1000 or more for what I brought in.He has toys from dollar tree for sale marked up to $5.Bro has no shame.I will never set foot in this con artist's "shop" ever again. read more

As an antique fan, I always enjoy perusing the local shops in the area. This shop has a variety of items that will have your inner collector energy alive and vibrant. The amount of choices will have you wondering which one to purchase from vinyl to old coins or hot wheels classics. The staff is friendly and on point. read more

Such a wonderful place. I have been looking for 'Amber & Pink Depression era' glassware for years and no one ever had anything, then I got lucky when I found Times Remembered. I found all the Amber plates and Pink dessert cups that I would ever need. I am very, very happy with this antique store, plus the staff working there were extremely helpful and patient with my needs. read more

Cool place to visit and look around if you're in DT Ventura but DO NOT buy anything. I love to give mom and pop stores business but the prices here are outrageous. For example: they have records that SELL for $5-8 online (and in other record stores in the area) but here they are asking $45... not sure where they came up with the prices? I even heard one of the workers tell their co-worker that they need to sell more items for that week. They're not meeting their quota. Hmm I wonder why no one is buying? I understand you're paying for their overheard and the vendors are the ones pricing their own goods but don't mark the items up 8-10x their worth. I'm sure there are some good deals to be found here, but I certainly haven't. Be wary and cautious read more

Quick and friendly service. Absolutely have an amazing and large assortment of goods. I always plan on coming in to look but never to buy and every trip I end up buying something! read more

Honestly, this place is in a beautiful downtown area beautiful atmosphere greetings at the door, but very pricey for one that shops antiques and vintage and always finds great memories and fantastic items to buy. I walked out empty-handed a great disappointment. The prices were a bit too high read more

Fun antique/collector's shop in the heart of Downtown Ventura. I've come here multiple times, and my better half has been delighted to find great, unique items at fair prices. This is also a store that is willing to wiggle a little on the price and negotiate with you, which is a nice change from nearly every other store in the world today. Parking nearby is a cinch, and they have a large number of items inside, everything from comic books and old music albums, to dolls, toys, and collectible Coca-Cola products. It's a hodgepodge of various collectors' trinkets and trophies, and we have made it a regular stop on our visit to Ventura. read more

I love this place. I have gotten a few dolls from here. They get the best dolls and collections.

Bought a dress from the vintage section. Said 50% off of $40 asked if they could do $15 since the dress was sun damaged, had holes and holes in the lace. The owner got super upset and rude for no reason other than me making an offer. The young lady at the register with short hair was also unnecessarily rude to me, while she was checking me out for the dress. I was super nice and friendly, don't understand why they were both so salty but whatever. Used to come here years every time I visited Ventura. Won't be giving them my business anymore. read more

Awesome place to browse for old stuff. There are some antiques, but most items are more like second hand treasures. You can easily spend an hour or two sifting through all the pieces and browsing all of the booths. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/times-remembered-ventura?select=_7wm_hbbHSRmnhqlem1XrA#_7wm_hbbHSRmnhqlem1XrA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/times-remembered-ventura?select=L0Qq9FSVSoTHYw49eCCSXA#L0Qq9FSVSoTHYw49eCCSXA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/times-remembered-ventura?select=QLRvLi9251tA-cBSXJjSlg#QLRvLi9251tA-cBSXJjSlg There are a lot of collectibles here locked in cases. The employees are very friendly and willing to open as many cases you like. We found a cool mug for a friend's collection back in Scottsdale. If you don't find anything, it's still a lot of fun to browse all of the cases. Return Factor - 87% read more

I stopped in here briefly with a friend of mine. I wish we had had more time to browse but we were at the end of our parking meter time so we just rushed through. This is a cool antiques store with a lot of awesome finds. I'm in my mid-late 30s and most things here were from before my childhood, though some were from more recently than my childhood too. Overall very neat objects on sale. Prices are as you would expect for antiques - not cheap, but the overall quality of their goods seemed high to me. My friend's favorite thing here is to look through their LPs. Mine might have been their taxidermy, bones and mounted insect section (which my friend said is gradually diminishing - as if they're selling things but not adding more to this collection). I like how the store is broken out into themes and hope to visit again soon when I have more time to really appreciate the things here. read more

I love this place! Just read all the negative reviews and I have to say I really disagreed. Maybe those folks have never been in an antique shop before? I thought the set up was great! In fact, I suggested they charge people a buck just to walk through it as it was very entertaining, like a museum. As far as prices go, I am a huge collector of Star Wars memorabilia and they had everything, vintage to even a few current items. I've had my eye on these items and their prices over years and I found everything to be very reasonable. I will highly be recommending them to all my friends. read more

Times Remembered - Antiques Near Me - Ventura, California

I went to this store a few times over the course of about 3 years and was happy with my purchases, though they were a bit pricey. I have probably spent at least $200 before this last stop on records. Oh well, no big deal. I normally would have recommended anyone visiting Ventura to stop in and check out their items, especially the records they have . But a transaction this last time when I went about a week and a half ago has caused me to write this poor review. I bought a record that was over priced, and when I found out the true value of the record I tried to return it because of the outrageous price. The owner was an absolute jerk about it, saying someone brought in a beatles record one time and they said it was warped when it wasn't or something and that he wouldn't know if it was the same record in it that I bought (basically accusing me of trying to screw him over) so he couldn't take it back (I don't understand why that is relevant to me trying to return MY record), which is literally impossible because I'm from out of state. I basically pleaded to him because it was so expensive to take it back and give me a refund or allow me to grab other records he had in exchange for it. The record I bought was $175 plus tax and he allowed my to only get $100 worth of records...what a joke. That guy still has my $75 and I guarantee he slapped the sticker back on and is trying to resell it again. Also, the owner should write down the deadwax on their more expensive records so their sure about what is coming into their shop. Their sticker system is extremely moronic to keep track of what records they have sold. read more

i give it five stars found it while walking downtown alot a vintage starwars toys i bought to hard to find toys and he gave me a discount on the second one was not expecting to get one will go back again when we r in ventura read more

Beware of buying Native American silver with "turquoise" here. I got a beautiful and pricey Slave Bracelet; The turquoise looked "so perfectly blue with gray and black matrix". Ha! When I took to an expert the jeweler's loop showed these are man-made stones. What a fiasco... Since these are individually leased vendor booths, everything is purchased and paid through a third party...the cashier clerk. The employees are sweet but are not gemologists and can't guarantee the authenticity of the stones. Period End Of Story. LESSON: Go to experts that offer money back OR to The American Natives' stores to get the real thing!!! read more

This is a fun spot to browse around as long as it isn't too busy. A lot of the paths are tight and the shop doesn't have the greatest ventilation. In other words, it can smell like farts. Today was one of those days. I should mention though that I got a brilliant deal on some great barstools! read more

Nice store, great selection but prices are outrageous. You can much better deals on ebay. Did not see a single deal !!!

This place is huge, you could easily spend over an hour going through all of it. It's split up in to many different cubby holes basically, each owned by someone else I guess. Stuff ranges from the truly antique, to various toys of the last 20 years, to the reproduced kitsch of Elvis, Betty Boop, John Wayne, etc. It also has a TON of LPs...everywhere. Literally every cubby has it's own collection of records. Most of the rooms have a discount it seems, some just 10 or 15% up to 50 and 60%. Didn't buy anything, but plenty of stuff to relive your youth or add to a collection. read more

If you're into character endorsed stuff (like lunchboxes, cookie jars, collectible toys) this is the stop for you. I don't know about the pricing as I'm not into those items, but they have a TON of it. If you like Betty Boop (again, sadly, not for me) she's living there too... I did see a TON of silver jewelry, all kinds. Navajo and American Indian, shell and stone. They have quite a selection of that as well. It's one of those places where if you're in the mood you can spend a long time checking each and every vender booth which seems piled to the rafters will all kinds of interesting things...today I lost my patience and kind of got overwhelmed by all of it. There are so many shops in Ventura filled with treasures, you gotta take your time and pace yourself! read more

I found so many incredible 80s toys I'd been searching for here. Most of the prices were fair, at least the items I ended up purchasing were. Some vendors were a little high but there was such a vast collection of vendors, it didn't really matter. Will definitely stop in again next time I'm around the area. read more

Best antique store in ventura county all the things they have there are great but I'll mostly go there for their shelf of the model trains

Take all of the other vintage and antique shops in Ventura and put them together in one building and you've got Times Remembered. I come here for all of my vinyl. I've been in about 10 times and have still been unable to flip through all the albums. Tons of other stuff as well. A little lacking in the furniture department if you're out doing some hunting for the antique furniture. read more

This place has tons of Star Wars stuff. Even 80's Star Wars men!!!! Not all of it is the best of the best but it's still impressive to see so much of it. They have Snoopy, Winnie the Pooh, Betty Boop, Flintstones....everything practically.... Most of the stuff is organized into its own section but other stuff is scattered about. There are tin signs, vinyl, lots of jewelry and even really cool tin soldiers. The store is huge. If I had the money I would likely spend hours here. This place is as good as the best and biggest stores in Los Angeles! read more

I'm not sure if I'll ever return to Times Remembered since I don't frequent the area very often. I did, however, have an excellent experience here and would stop by if I ever had the chance. Looking through what feels like hundreds and hundreds of cases filled with little trinkets is definitely not for everyone. However, I absolutely love it! I found a lot of cool things and ended up picking out a pair of gold shoe clips! Gold shoe clips? Yeah, seriously, I was like ughhh what? Anyways, they actually caught my eye because I thought they were earrings. Since most things are displayed on glass shelves, you can tilt your head at an angle to check out the prices from down below. I wasn't too sure what shoe clips were so one of the workers explained it to me and I was sold. She was really helpful and the staff seemed so nice. After holding the shoe clips in my hands, I immediately knew they weren't not some cheap plastic-y thing that would break after a day's wear. They had a good weight and were very unique looking. This place is not a Good Will or anything like that so the prices are more expensive than what you'd find in your average thrift store. I paid around $13 for my shoes clips, but I know I won't ever find anything like them. I'm really happy with my purchase and if you're into thrifting, you'll know to purchase something right away if it catches your eye because it will be gone soon enough. I still think about the most unique pair of aviator sunglasses I found in 2008. They actually folded between the lenses and had a blue gradient. They were gone when I came back two days later :( read more

I like the store a lot but your workers are so rude. I am so sorry i had you get up and do your job. I know :( i am so mean to actually want to buy something. read more

What a fun shop. SO MUCH to look at and take in. Every kind of collectable under the sun is under this one roof. Really take your time to take everything in. From Bakelite and antique jewelry, comics, toys, books, dishes, clothing... just so much great stuff. Take and afternoon and walk around the store for an hour or more. You'll find something you'll need to take home with you. read more

My wife and I get away to The Cliff House whenever we can. We make it a point to visit Ventura to eat and window shop. Times Remembered is a must every time. We always find something we just have to take home. It's also a great place to shop for family and friends who appreciate things unique and beautiful. I was motivated to write because a niece of ours just made a Facebook post, excited about her new countertop mixer with which she will make her excellent chocolate chip cookies. The image she used showed her pointing to the appliance. In the background, on her counter, is a cookie jar we purchased at Times Remembered for her housewarming. Drop in and you'll be amazed. read more

this store is the best so many great items there, every time my wife go to ventura, we have to stop there spend an hour at least looking over all there stuff , great items great prices and the girls that work there are friendly and helpful , if you want to remember your childhood and looking for that special item you find it there read more

could have been a fun shopping trip, but NO!! had my service dog with me and she was wearing her jacket. sign outside said dogs welcomed. man behind counter said it was okay to come in (hello? sign outside) and i said i would take her jacket off because she would be more comfortable. NO! the guy said leave it on!! okay, okay. moving on: lots of their stuff is behind glass cabinets, and certainly there isn't a whole lot of room to move about. very, very small isles. don't forget to look up. and, that is where i found a gorgeous deco lamp stand at 40% off. the young gal came from behind the counter and seemingly wanted to help get it down for me and ensure it worked using a black light bulb (? what? no regular light bulbs?) i wanted it. so, cruised through the rest o the shop, found nothing else and went to the counter to pay for the lamp stand which was ONLY 9 bucks or so!! couldn't beat it!! the gal wrote up my ticket, and it was over 19 bucks!! i said, whoa!! she had included a wooden elephant that wasn't even mine!! i was stunned! and, as i was saying that the elephant wasnt' mine she said i didn't have to be so rude!!!! ME, RUDE? I THINK NOT!!! instead of arguing (and the man was now standing behind the gal) i said just finish my ticket, let me pay and i would leave. the ticket price fell below the 10 buck minimum to use a visa!!! didn't see any signage about that!?!?!? the gal began to argue with my that this was policy, and it cost them more to process the visa yada yada yada.... i said for 42 cents you can't just take my visa??? nope. i left the store without my lamp stand (it's okay!!) and the knowledge that the customer service, rudeness of both employees, cramped isles.....would never allow me back in to this store again. read more
