Oh my gosh, if you can't find what you are looking for here, you weren't looking. They had everything. They had at least 15 outdoor movie screens for after dark viewing when the flea market closed. You could get your eyes examed, you're car detailed, speakers installed, kids could ride amusement park type rides. You could buy pets, clothes, sunglasses,... More

Amazing place. Everything you can think of is here, from high quality Heys luggage to nurse's scrubs! There are some idiots that expect good food from vendors, but they must have real issues if they come grocery shopping at a flea market. Anyhow, they have great deals, fresh fruits, cheap bouquets of flowers and much more. I'm from Toronto and... More

I've been to the swap shop several times during the day but never thought of doing a movie before. Drive in theather under the stars on the big screen with audio via the car radio was both a novel and amazing experience. Quite romantic as well I must say with my wife there and did not miss the stuffy cinema... More

I wasn't expecting a ton of superb quality merchandise at the Swap Shop, but I was looking for some okay items. I was thoroughly disappointed! It was terrible. I have been to many flea markets before and this one had more fleas than places to shop. The questionable atmosphere left me and my wife desperate to leave only after an... More

Huge flea market with farmer's market as well. It can be very busy. They have a luxury car museum and carousel rides. There is something for everyone. Definitely something to see once. More

I moved to Fort Lauderdale 5 years ago and I drove by the Swap Shop on the second day and noticed the "Drive In Theater". The location, the neighborhood was always a let down. It took me almost 5 years to finally take the plunge and during 2011 Thanksgiving as we had nothing else to do, we ended up going... More

Take your time and visit this place. You can do lots of bargains. Indoors with lots of stalls selling everything and outside is more of car boot sale. But you can find lots of bargains. More

So you've seen the Swap Shop commercial... A flea market, drive in movie theater, carnival & farmers market with an arcade and food court all presented by an old cowboy looking man. Cut to shots of a few cute older woman modeling clothes, a white woman admiring jewelry and a friendly looking middle aged black couple advertising their booth. With... More
