Tuesday morning is just as crowded as the weekend. Still lines for the corn, peanut and popcorn. Same live music. Same amount of vendors in the parking lot area. Not as many in the stalls. Good mix of commercial stuff with yard sale crap. Definitely possible to find a treasure or two. Bring your own drinks though, small bottles of water are $ 2, 20oz Pepsi is $ 3 etc. Free parking and .50 admission. I had my car key fob reprogrammed here $ 15 took 5 min. and also bought a half flat of large strawberries for $ 7. Some vendors had them for a bit more, some a bit less. A walk of the entire place stopping to look at some stuff took me roughly 60 min. Typical to find cell phone accessories, clothes for $ 1 or less, toys, plants, tools, cheap cosmetics, under garments, shoes, restaurant cookware and random whatevers.

They charged me $ 1/pp(two people) instead of 50 cents, we came an hour before closing. Is it cause I’m not Mexican? Wtf? Also they no longer have animals. They still had signs at the front and throughout the swap meet saying they still had animals, but I was told they got shut down. Then take off your signs?

This swap meet is great. It’s fun to go to with or without kids. The smell surrounding it is not bad at all. It’s settled in Chino/Ontario area cattle city so there shouldn’t be a surprise to the smell. The vendors are nice many with new items mainly in the covered sections where you can find clothing of all kinds. We went to find pinatas for my nephew’s bday. Found D1 who has the best ones, pretty & great quality for less than other vendors. We went back to buy 3 total. They’re really a nice family to deal with too. This swap meet has a bar inside with $ 3 drinks & complimentary pop corn. You can’t beat that. Food mart is available inside too. They have a live band who plays super good. It’s made up of older guys but they’re very entertaining. $ 50 entrance & free parking on the dirt side. No biggie. It’s a good place to go and relax for the day & get some good deals.

Been coming here since 98. Hasn’t changed. Great deals! Pretty clean for the most part. Lots of vendors that a pretty good selection of new items. You can get almost anything here from shampoo, toothpaste, animals, pots, pans, gifts, etc etc

I highly doubt I’ll come back to this seap meet. Generally speaking, items were overpriced, produce was covered in flies(due to the amount of cows in Ontario, understandably) and animals seemed cramped and not well kept.

This place is a great and big swapmeet to visit. This is my families favorite swapmeet. The entrance is 50 cents per person. I think this is the only swapmeet that sells animals now. There is always parking and not too far from the entrance. If you are looking for something particular, I’m pretty sure you will be able to find it here.

Nice place to start a family sunday. Gotta take your kids to the pony ride whenever you’re there, and don’t forget to take them to see all the different animals there is through the whole place.

We’ve been going to this open air market for YEARS and have seen vendors come and go. This review is particularly for the wonderful vendor at C14 and their authentic and high quality Asian/Oriental plant life and other paraphernalia. We LOVE Asian décor(from the expensive to the cheap). Throughout the years we took time to visit(and negotiate prices) with quite a number of vendors with similar products for sale, but the reliability of the price, quality, and customer service is NOT nearly as good as C14’s(I will update this review if that ever happens)! Trust. *Other Tips: Free parking, bring cash(for negotiating power).

My first time visiting and I had a good experience, I would definitely visit again! Especially if you want to pass the time on a Sunday. I appreciated the .50 cent entrance fee and free parking. I was fine with the crowd as well and got around ok but you do have to ask around to find out where things are located since there is no direction to the madness. I enjoyed looking at some of the more exotic pets and all the adorable bunnies they were selling. They had some neat stuff there. Bring some water if it’s a hot day and comfortable shoes. For what ever reason I always leave feeling like I lost a few pounds from shrinking away in the hot sun LOL! I was hoping to give this place more stars but since I didn’t walk out with any great deals and the vendors seemed to not want to budge on their prices I gave it the 3 stars. I was expecting better deals on their pet cages(after all some of them were the more flimsy kind and dirty), better prices on their parakeets, and other pet supplies than the bird marts/bird shows I have gone to but surprisingly pretty comparable and the birds were in better health at the bird shows/fairs. For example, a Medium sized bird cage everyone charged the same $ 10 fee within the place and no one wanted to go down in price which I would think as a seller you would want to be more competitive, at-least add some things to the cage to make you stand out from everyone else. I know that compared to regular stores(Petco/Petsmart/Target) this is a bargain but I’m not comparing it to that. I also had no idea of where the entrance was, my first time here, from where I came into the parking area(dirt area) which was a bit irritating but I had no issue asking someone and found it ok. It would be nice if they placed more temporary signs giving some idea of what direction to go for the newbies. I guess I was just expecting more deals on things and most everyone seemed to be sticklers on their prices which was disappointing especially since it was later on in the day before they were going to close and I would think that vendors would want to make a sale from their stuff than nothing at all. I guess time’s are tuff for everyone these days.

Been going here forever, with my family/. I love it. Cheap entertainment for the weekend and free parking is a plus! Be prepared to walk through/park in lose dirt though. It does get crowded by the afternoon though, but if you can stand the crowds and figure out how to maneuver through then you won’t have a problem There’s always SOMETHING to find here, from pets, to beauty products, to car supplies, and shoes/clothes. I think over the years I’ve become partial to the back area where it’s basically like 20 different families having yard sales. I found a high chair for 20 bucks here that was pretty much brand new. I paid a whole 15 dollars for a jogging stroller in awesome condition. When my brother and I were kids, we got our pet parakeets from there, and one time our mom let us take home a duckling. We had to give the duckling away to family members, but they said he lived a long life :) Always worth it to get a churro from the churro vendors or some shaved ice depending on the weather. They have roasted peanuts, and kettle corn too. I’ve only eaten at that restaurant inside once, it was okay, but it’s something I only do if I’m REALLY hungry and can’t wait for anything else in the area. I noticed they added a train ride for kids recently as well. Oh and the people with the flower shops have the prettiest flowers ever, and at affordable prices. We always take some home to my grandma. And yes, you will come out of there smelling like chickens. What do you expect when the area you’re in is A) surrounded by farms & B) they sell almost every animal you can think of ??

This place is by far the highlight of chino living! This is my favorite spot to take my friends and family when they visit. From live animals auctions to live music to an epic bar, there is simply never a dull moment! If you are looking for an unique adventure this is the place to visit! Words of advice make sure to come early, it tends to get crowded by 10am!

Free parking and a .50 cent entry fee make this open air market a fun place to hunt for buried treasure. My husband has found used and rare tools at bargain prices several times, and there was a huge variety of succulents. Several vendors sell hand made clothes and shoes, and if there is a graphic shirt with Marilyn Monroe or an outline of California you have been wanting, then this is the place for you. Come early and bring cash.

Chino’s open air market is perfect for the flower, plant, or livestock lover like ME, minus the livestock! Shopping today for Gardenia and chile plants. Found an awesome deal on a gardening tools and plants. You’re definitely at the right place if you’re looking for exotic birds, such as peacocks and toucans!

People, come on now… You’re in chino let alone in a area that is surrounded by many ranches that have cattle and other livestock, quit complaining about the smell. Anyway, this place has tons of parking on both sides of the area and its free! The entrance on the other hand is a small fee of fifty cents. Everyone selling at this location pretty much only carries used and fair conditioned items. There are little food-carts that sell drinks and churros for roughly around $ 2 – 3. There are many vendors that sell livestock and other pets, some are even exotic. This place is great if you’re shopping for secondhand décor, clothing and discounted food products. If you’re looking for new items you’re probably not going to enjoy much. I recommend bringing children here that are into petting animals and digging through treasures.

First of all, for those complaining about the smell, get over it! It’s next to a farm you morons! That’s like complaining about the smell next to a dumpster! I gave it 4 stars because: It is very big, free parking and only 50 cents to get in. They have a lot of birds and rabbits. I will probably be returning to get a rabbit. I was upset because they didn’t have any weapons or fake ID vendors! Maybe throw in a pipe store at least Churros, roasted corn and Snow Cones are the shiznit!

This swap-meet is rather unique in it’s own way. Parking is free and it costs 50-cents a person to go inside. So far this is the cheapest of all the swap-meets I’ve been to. Looking for a pet? This is the place to be because they have everything from hamsters to peacocks. Life span after you’ve bought the animal though is questionable as these poor fellas are all crowded, smelly and looks neglected at an extreme extent. They have some pretty sweet deal on pet foods though, I would come back for those if I didn’t live far away from this place. The things they sell at this swap-meet is about the same as any other place, but I suppose anything goes in this place because they also have some fake items also. I gave one star because the place smells, literally. Also not very much are buyable unless you’re looking for pet foods and farm goods(which are also questionable).
