Love this place! But, NO customer parking at 8am in the morning. Stop selling parking spaces for vendor space. I believe you will have more happy customers and vendors. I left by the way for I could not find parking, AGAIN!

I love this place! There is always something I find that I don't need but buy it anyway.
I really like everything about this place. But, the not sure if it is the owners or just workers.
Whom ever directs cars and traffic in the early morning needs to get some manners. Just because
it is a Flea Market does not mean you have to talk to people that way. I think they forget who the
customers are!

What a fun time! My daughter and I went to Wolff's Flea Market and had a heck of a good day. Special thanks to the nice ladies at the information table, the cashier at the gate (Cocoa, I believe was her name), and the folks handing out water! Waterboy Roy, Bill the Bulldozer, and Don the Dapper Dude were the friendliest. This is the best market in the Midwest hands down. Possibly the entire country! I've been to many :) GO HERE!

Great outdoor event for the hot months. Fun vendors, friendly staff, and close to home. I've been going to all the Wolff's market for almost 10 years now. This past weekend, the main building at Allstate was closed and it was over 90 degrees... but Water Boy Roy came to our rescue! He had a cooling station with misters and kept us hydrated with a carefully monitored drinking water station.
Highly recommend this market to anyone looking for some Sunday morning/afternoon fun!

We go every year, April is the best weather permitting as after May the selection goes down. Lots of vendors so get there before 7:00 as by 10:00 it will be crowded.

Thanks for visiting Wolff’s Flea Market! Glad you had a 5 star experience! Our hundreds of vendors are always hunting for new and unique finds, so we believe the market stays fresh all every week all season. You are spot on about shopping early! See you at the flea!

Beings that I am not from the area and used to East Coast flea markets....I found the prices were rather high for an actual flea market. Things appear to be a bit manic because they are only allowed to be set up for a certain period of time.
You have to pay a $2.00 entrance fee. Restrooms are in the building. Lots of things to look at and we didn't buy much of anything

I went here a couple of times over the summer. Found some pretty good stuff. Personally, I don't buy any fruits or veggies here. Not worth the risk. But there's a lot of other stuff that will peak your interests. $1 or $2 entrance fee.

Nice sized flea market in the arena parking area. I went on a cool spring Sunday morning, near 9 AM and easily found parking. Two dollars gets you in, and there were well over 100 vendors selling everything from old cameras, old and new jewelry, childrens toys, military surplus items, perfumes, and other things you would hope and expect to find at a flea market. There are also a few vendors selling food snacks like nuts and apple fritters. For me it was a nice way to spend a few hours in the sun, getting some exercise walking, and seeing older things that I remember growing up with. I enjoyed it and would go there again.

This flea market opens on Sundays only at the parking lot of Allstate Arena. It is located under the flight path of airlines so it is very noisy.
Lots of yard sale type of merchandises but occasionally you can find new things too.
Not much available in the way of fast food but there are fresh fruits for sale.

These flea markets have to be one of the best. Open all day Sunday and only $2 entry fee with free parking. We spent 5 to 6 hours walking around, there are several food trucks where you can buy food and drinks, the area is so huge. There is a mixture of old and new things ranging from food to gardening tools with a lot of bargins to be had. We bartered for the items we liked and if the price was not to our liking we moved on. A great way to spend the whole day and hopefully bring home a bargin

Do any charter bus companies come to your flea market? From Indiana? Would love to come but don't want to get into all the traffic.

There is public transportation that will get you there from the subway or buses. I am not aware of any charter buses. Traffic not bad getting to the allstate arena.
