Like any crowded marketplace, this place is huge and has lots to look at. Decent food court (questionable hygiene as some servers handle food and money without washing hands in between) and variety of choices, farmer's market. Good way to spend the day if you don't have a stroller or young ones to worry about loosing or breaking things. Washrooms are surprisingly clean.
The main reason I come here is for the antique market. Love to browse and see what items I used to have at home are now worth. There are less things I find interesting in the flea market section. Small food court with a variety of food.
This place is very trendy, one year it was all yolo and swag garbage and then it was sons of anarchy. All the stores kind of rip each other off it feels like. There used to be a good store in the back I got some jeans with designs on them (Red knights brand or whatever) and maybe get some more of this cologne called maliza uomo which is a cheap but very long lasting cologne.
all mom and pop...

Good place for a weekend get away. A mix of crowd here, but always a fun time looking for stuff you probably don't need.
My girlfriend and I would love to get on Sundays and call Sunday sugar cane day! The sugar cane drinks there are great!
Pizza is also good here as well!
The revlon place kind of sucks also I a guy so that is a given.
Overall good place to go on a weekend, but wouldn't spend...

This was a great place to start with, but with the new antiques market I LOVE it again!
My husband and I spent a fun afternoon getting food and looking at all the unique items and we didn't even make it to the flea market side.
The prices are good, and you can find almost anything you are looking for.
I highly recommend the pickering markets and look forward to seeing you there!
Decent enough market.
Great place to pick up framed modern artwork for $40 bucks a piece which is way cheaper than anywhere in Toronto.
They have a UK import store there which I went crazy on and stocked up on a months worth of ginger beer. Guy who runs the place is from Newcastle originally so we managed to share some stories.
There is not much in the way of eating at the market so do not...

I wouldn't shop here but I come regularly for the food.
The greek place sells a fantastic gyro for 4.50$ tax included. Every weekend I'm nearby I go and grab one.
They also have a place that sells a yummy poutine. (It's not the place that has a big poutine sign, go to the one beside it). They don't advertise as blatantly but they do offer a much better product. It is bigger and has a lot more...

I always think of flea markets as one of a kind and private sale items i can not find at a mall. This is not the case at this flea market its a great big place to go if your bored and want to walk around. But not that many sales or unique items. Alot of day to day junk you can find anywhere else throughout the week.
It's downgraded a lot here over the years. Now its just a lot of junk being peddled for random prices. The food selection is pretty good, very multicultural and priced reasonably. Probably is the only reason we come here now on weekends is for the awesome food lol.
I'm not going to say that the Pickering Markets is a fantastic place to shop but it's got a few gems that make it worth going once a month or so.
First off, for those of you who lived in the Amberlea area and miss Stars Pizza, you can find them here on weekends. MAN how I missed that wonderful pizza. The owners run it both Saturday and Sunday and the pizza is always fresh, hot and as wonderful...

Can't expect too much from any type of flea market there are a couple of places here we like.
We buy bluray movies from Michelle's DVD booth usually get a better deal there than Best Buy.
In the 2nd row I think there is a decent sign making booth & we like the fresh juice stand but we don't eat anything else there except the crisps from the British shop.
The Revlon J&J sale is also on & we...

The Pickering Markets used to be the place to go... when Sunday shopping was forbidden. Yes those was the good old days for Pickering Markets.. where this place was so crowded and it was even impossible to find a parking.
Now it becomes an after thought... With rolls of rolls of stalls selling counterfeit handbags, sunglasses. You have to look hard to find something that worth buying... OK I...
