Flea World

Flea World Review

Merchants at more than 1,700 booths sell predominately new merchandise—car tires, Ginsu knives, pet tarantulas, gourmet coffee, biker clothes, darts, NASCAR souvenirs, rugs, books, incense, leather lingerie, and beaded evening gowns. It's also a great place to buy cheap Florida and Mickey Mouse T-shirts. In one building 50 antiques and collectibles dealers cater to people who can pass up the combination digital ruler and egg timer for some good old junk and authentic collectibles. A free newspaper, distributed at the parking-lot entrance, provides a map and directory. Children are entertained at Fun World next door, but don't expect Disney's squeaky-clean veneer. This mildly gritty amusement park has two unusual miniature golf courses, arcade games, go-karts, bumper cars, bumper boats, children's rides, and batting cages. Flea World is 3 miles east of I-4. Take Exit 98 to Lake Mary Boulevard, and then go 1 mile south on U.S. 17-92.
