Then the college, santee and chula vista. Santee was awful, chula was OK but now at the sports arena (sorry I still call it that) was great can't wait till the next one. I always use their 2 for one coupons so it makes the 5 dollar parking fee less annoying .I would like to see more than 3 meets per year but will take the 3 they have. Thanks to everyone involved in putting this event on, see ya on labor day

I haven't been here in over 10 years! Wow this place has not changed. Great price $10 per adult and…read more$1 per kid, under 4 years old is free. Cash preferred but they take cards. There are three screens; playing different movies and plenty of parking spots. They are open Friday to Sunday for the drive in movies. They also occupy this space for swampmeet on certain days. Pro: lots of parking spots, bathroom for use, snack bar (cash only); friendly staff. Con: depends on the day and movie; it can get super packed, the entrance to purchase tickets can get long and extend to the streets; can be dangerous if no one pays attention. Bathroom is outdated, sometimes no hand soap or they run out of bathroom tissues or napkins. Other than that; such a great deal for new movie releases and in the comfort of your car. You can bring snacks, food etc; I always bring a pillow and blanked for extra comfort. Make sure to bring a radio if you don't want your car battery to die. I got one from Amazon for $20; such a great bargain and great system.

They have almost anything you might look for at an antique store or estate sale. Many decorative rugs, books, furniture, lots of media. Just an amazing place to shop. Some of the shops have new products like watches and clothing, but it is a great adventure to just wander through the tight maze of places. Look for sales, and take pictures of the offers to take to the register. You will turn your head or turn a corner and see many eye catching items. Pricing varies from bargains to overpriced, depending on the booth. Great place to explore.

This place is a JOKE! I had two items on consignment. They sold both items rather quickly. We…read morerecieved one check for the lower priced item and was told they will send the check for the other item the following month. That time has come and gone. I've called multiple times only to get the runaround. I tried calling to talk to the person in charge only to be told "no". Araceli was the last person I talked to. Very rude and unprofessional. She called my wife back and inform her that a check might be ready to pick up but she needs to call after 1pm before she gets there. My wife asked the name of the owner of the business. Araceli told her that "it doesn't matter" and refused to disclose the name. We will update this post to let all know if we received the check or not. They refuse to provide proof of what the item sold for it for.

They are always perfect. I once got a teddy pendergrass album for $10 and will forever be thankful for that find! The owner is knowledgeable & literally knows what his buyers will like. Every time I come in, he has stuff on hold for his regulars and reaches out to them to come by and get the tape or vinyl. He's the real deal. I bring all my vinyl loving friends here! & will continue to do so.

Customer service was amazing - a guy who works there offered me water and answered my relentless questions. I had a lot of fun through the small exchange. Their cassette collection leans towards the 90s and 2000s, which I'm not complaining. I thought the price point would be expensive for these vintage finds, but they are so cheap ($5 for The Beach Boys and $9 for Pink Floyd). The dominant genres are alternative and rap. I didn't look too deep into their vinyl records but they got a good mixture of current mainstream to hip hop mainstream - from Daniel Caesar to Vanilla Ice (good stuff). They also have CDs, pins, and vintage shirts. I didn't dig through the CDs and pins, but their curated shirts are pretty top-notch - from Ralp Lauren to 80s Nike (designs look like they were out of MTV during their neon days). The prices are a bit pricey ($30ish). One thing I thought that was very interesting is the bowls made out of discarded vinyl records. It's the coolest thing I have ever seen.

It's fun to go and find new varieties of fruit you didn't know existed. I do with some Pitaya was buyable but we got other items. We got some tacos, refreshing drinks and plants. We always go for the plants. I got 5 tomato plants and they're thriving. $4 each! Usually you can work on deals. We go to explore and get sunglasses and anything for tourists coming to visit. MAKE SURE IF YOU BRING YOUR DOG IT ISNT WALKING ON THE HOT PAVEMENT or I'll definitely judge you. It's hot as hellllll there. Keep the dogs at home or in your bag or wearing shoes.

Admission is very affordable--only $1 per person (I remember when it used to be about fifty cents They're typically open early morning and close around 2 PM on weekends, and they're only open on Saturdays & Sundays. What I love most about this place is the variety. There are rows and rows of vendors selling just about everything you can imagine. From fruit trees and fresh produce to yard sale treasures, mattresses, furniture, and even brand-new items it's like a giant treasure hunt. If you enjoy browsing and negotiating, many vendors are open to bargaining on prices. There are also plenty of food and drink stands if you need a snack while walking around. The restrooms are available and surprisingly clean and well stocked. Overall, it's a great place to shop, explore, and definitely get your steps in because there's so much to see. I'd highly recommend checking it out if you enjoy swap meets or bargain hunting.
