Years ago I can recall this place being the "go to" place for discounted fashion and just about anything else. I visited it months back and my first issue was parking. It was chaotic. I tried to arrange to take the shuttle from El Camino but there was too long a line. I would have walked but due to medical issues couldn't do it. There was so much "junk" that it was hard to sort through a lot of stuff. Add a whole lot of people, I just decided to leave and go somewhere else. I guess my expectations were higher but then again it's been a long time since I've been there .

$2 parking on weekdays and $5 on weekends. No admission fee. Sellers started packing up their goods just after 2, so it's better to show up before then. There were lots of snack stands and a public restroom. I found a lot of goodies there, from La Roche-Posay products to Stauer watches to trading cards. Every seller took a form of-non cash payment (Zelle, Venmo). You might have to do digging in piles for clothes, but no complaints!

This place use to be my go to for the weekend but as of late it been going down hill , they seem to always close the parking to so they can try and fill up their "vip parking" so it's always a hassle even get inside , also they have raised their prices to $5 per car on weekends ..... they've also removed all the trash cans so there's trash flying everywhere I had to walk around with trash in my hand because apparently they've removed the trash cans save your time and money and head over to Goldenwest free parking no entrance fee plenty of parking and plenty of trash cans as well

Seniors now pay $2.00 weekdays to enter (was $0.50) and walk-in not allowed. The vendors are friendly and the staff do good work but I'll be cutting back on my visits to the Roadium.

BEWARE !!!!! This atm charges fees not on receipt. It automatically gave me a receipt for balance and I never requested it. Charged $2.00 +$2.00+ 2.85. I saw on my account in the app 2 additinal fees but only says 2.85 on my receipt .

Imagine an open air market/drive in theatre where you can shop all day and still find bargains and surprises. Then an early dinner at the food truck or snack bar, followed by a movie in the safety and comfort of your own car

Signs off the streets are clearly marked for general and VIP parking; I chose general parking for one car and one person for $1 on a monday. Another user here recommended that if you are rummaging and want to find unique things it's best if you walk around the outskirts of the flea market and not the core center where most vendors sell new items. I followed this advice because I search for things to resell. Good deals to be had with some vendors not so much with others but overall a good experience. Parking would definitely be more expensive on the weekend and way more crowded.

What a great experience and so nostalgia we had here, to go back in time if just for a few hours to relive the good old days going to the drive in. The Roadium has always been around when this drive in closed in the mid 80 it was used and is currently as an open air swap market, this place is always crowed, driving on Redondo beach Blvd in between Crenshaw Blvd and Van Ness Ave you can't miss the bright yellow sign. It was $25.00 per car or truck, you could also purchase your tickets on line as well, there was a line to get in because the gates did not open till 7 pm and the movie stared around 8:15 pm staff was generally nice to everyone i saw. There was a snack bar plus restrooms in the rear, there is an armed security officer patrolling the driver in in a golf car, Oh after 9 pm they lock the gates. Ferris Bueller's Day Off was the 1986 classic movie playing that night, there so many classic old school cars, vintage and convertible vehicles, also people were dress to the drive in day. Movies will be playing every Friday night in Aug. 05, Despicable Me, Aug./12, Field of dreams, Aug./19, Gone in 60 seconds, Aug./ 26, American graffiti. Yes happy days was here again if only for three months.

I've been to several swap meets and this by far has been the best one. They change vendors daily and some are permanent. Monday, Tuesday & Saturdays have the best all around vendors and Sundays have more house items focus things mixed with other things too and Friday has too many empty lots. $4 flat rate parking on weekends. You can find almost anything you're looking for here depending on the day you go ranging from clothes, shoes, electronics, furniture, jewelry, herbs, house items, gardening tools, outdoor gear, toys, food (check expiration dates), personal care and so much more! BRING LOTS OF CASH AND EAT BEFORE HAND. There food stand isn't great. The Carne asada plate was bland and the tortillas were stale. Fries and burgers were generic and remined me of middle school cafeteria food. It takes about 15 minutes to get your orders. I haven't tried their drive in yet due to the not so great movie options. I would rather drive 45 minutes to 1.5 hours just to have better options. @makeMePrettie definitely recommends this place and be ready to rummage through everything to find great deals!

So lovely to have a Drive in that is easily accessible and doesn't require me to drive like 90 minutes to a rural area! This one is right in Torrance and shows movies on Friday nights during the summer. Same location as the flea market and near lots of local businesses. Pro tip: grab some takeout nearby and bring it with you in your car at the drive in! Being that retro things are cool now I was expected a massive crowd but it was so nice to only have 10 cars there as I got a prime spot in front of the screen. They normally have a snack bar open but the night I went they didn't, and so they offered us complimentary water and coffee to make up for not having the bad open. The only thing I would improve was the audio transmission through the FM station wasn't that great as it had a low buzz to it that you could hear during quieter scenes. Still I can't complain too much. $25 per car not per person. Great deal! You can buy tickets in advance online but still it doesn't get busy (usually) you can just do it at the front entrance. They take credit cards but charge a bit to use it.

Visited on Monday, 06/20/22 for the first time. HUGGGEE Flea Market (aka Swapmeet). At night this lot transfers into an outdoor movie theater (never experienced before). Somewhat ample parking but very narrow and can be challenging at times. Monday was moderately crowded. Parking was not free when we arrived. ($1.50 total - $1.00 per vehicle AND driver + $0.50 per additional passenger). This swapmeet has it all - Costco goodies, clothes, electronics, you name it. There is also a Cafe (Roadium Cafe). Overall 4/5 - I recommend bringing a hat and sunscreen as it was extremely hot when I was there.

I had about 4 hours to kill one Monday on a recent business trip and found this place. Who knew swap meets would be open then? For me, the best rows were the first few where individuals pull-up and sell anything and everything. Toward the rear are the more permanent vendors where their inventory doesn't change much, or they're selling new products from China or Mexico. For vintage items though, the 1st few rows are the best bet. Although I didn't purchase anything the 1 hour I was there, I almost did and would return if I was in the area. I arrived at around 10am, by 1015, there were a few vendors from the front starting to pack up. So, its always better to arrive early.

Place charges a $10 parking fee and you're only able to go in the swap meet unless you park there. Rip off scam. They offer a shuttle from el Camino college but that's just a waste of time. This place is dirty , compared to the swap meet in cypress this one is a dump.
