The Tanque Verde Swap Meet is located just South of Downtown Tucson so it's easy to get to from anywhere in town. This place is an experience, believe me! Plan on a whole afternoon because there's a Ton of stuff here.
If you're looking for a Tucson Swap Meet this is the place. They're open Thursday thru Sunday, generally from 3PM till 11PM with earlier openings on the weekends, usually 7AM but afternoons are best. There's entertainment for the kids including some small amusement rides.
You can rent spaces to sell your junk (I mean Treasures), although most of these folks just go buy stuff from the other vendors too. This is just like a giant garage sale with everybody in the same place.
Yes, there's food at the Tanque Verde Swap Meet! They have a Cafeteria, Snack Bars & Beer Stands with good selection of casual food like Burgers, Pizza, Tacos, Nachos, Hot Dogs and more. There's some covered Picnic Areas where you can relax and eat.
They have more junk here than you can imagine and it's always changing so go back often and see what's new. If it's summer, take a Hat and Water!
Other great shopping venues in Tucson include the Tucson Mall, a newer Upscale Mall in the Catalina Foothills called La Encantada and the almost forgotten Lost Barrio just a couple miles Northwest.
