If you’re looking for some family fun that’s just off the beaten path, spend a day at the famous Kobey’s Swap Meet. Swap meets are a fun way to treasure hunt with your cuties, and a great chance to teach about recycling, reusing and handling money (if they are old enough), all while feeling the thrill of a scavenger hunt and the score of a deal. Kobey’s Swap Meet Kobey’s is the ultimate stop for swap meet swag. It has many pint-sized bargain-hunting treasures. Scour the tables and bins for LEGO, Polly Pocket dolls and accessories, Barbies and more. There are both swap meet and garage-sale style booths for your little ones to explore. Set an amount they can spend (let them learn to budget), then send the little pirates off to scour the terrain for their bountiful loot (with mom or dad’s supervision, of course).Sweet TreatsIf the little swashbucklers need a bite to eat, there are lots of places to take a bit. Traditional hamburgers and hot dogs are available (a little on the expensive and greasy side). But we recommend saving the money and appetites for the other treats. Popcorn is a hit with the pint-sized type and snow cones are big and fun to eat (especially on hot summer days). There’s also a mini-donut stand where kids can watch them make the sweet treats.Savvy Swap Meet TipsSunblock is key. Even on overcast days, be prepared to spray and wear a hate. Brining a bottle of water is also recommended. Vendors don’t take credit cards. So bring cash. Smaller bills will be appreciated. Bring your own canvas bag to stash all your goodies. While the swap meet is open all weekend, Sunday is the best day to score treasures. Go online and print a coupon for $1 off adult admission. You can rent a single stroller ($6) or a double cool cart ($7) to wheel your little munchkins around. The bathrooms are located at the back of the meet near the food stand. While they are porta-potties, there is an attendant on duty and a place to wash hands. Parking is free! Hours: Fri. – Sun., 7 a.m. – 3 p.m. Cost: Fri.: $1/Adults; Sat. & Sun., $2/Adults; Free/Kids under 113500 Sports Arena Blvd. San Diego, Ca 92110 Online: Kobeys.com — Monique Walsh (photos too) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to share on Copy (Opens in new window) Search more like this garage salehow toscavenger hunttreasure huntmoneybring cashfuncouponterrainarenadonutspraypopcornstroller Welcome to our Tinybeans family!
