Are the hours posted legit?? We don't live close by and wanted to know if we arrive by 12pm is it too late?

Hours are right, but the weather has a lot to do with how many venders are there

The tables are supposed to be set up by 9 am. After 9 any spots not taken can then be used I think first come first served basis, with fee's. I try to be there at 9 am during the hot season because some venders are packing it in by 2 ish it's just too hot. Off season I go later like 10 or so to give the sun a chance to warm up and for venders to get set up.

At 12pm there are alot of vendors here.people dont start closing up until about 2pm

12 on Saturday or Sunday would be a good time

The earlier the better but 13 is still a good time to catch good deals. Many Barnyard vendors will close shop a little earlier than Metro. If you are making a trip from further out it is probably worth it to visit both flea markets

Its a flea market, and unlike a Walmart, vendors can come and go as they please. Mornings are best to see the most vendors, while they still have their best stuff in stock, and before it gets crowded. Some vendors operate real stores here. The leather/sporting goods shop and the hardware store have good merchandise and good prices. The smaller booths have a amazing variety of new and used, treasures and trash. Come early, and dont forget theres another flea market less than 5 minutes down the same street (Hwy 1). Its a good one too, but i like Barnyard better.

You are really good by 12 everyone definitely is up and running by then they stay open till about 4 or 5 on average

On Saturday and Sunday booths have been open til 5pm, depending on people there
