Plan a trip to Northern Nevada's largest antique mall
We're at 1831 N Carson St in Carson City, open every day from 10 to 6. Here's how to get here from Reno, the lake and the Valley — and what to know before you go.
- Open every day, 10–6
- 1831 N Carson St
- Parking lot out front
Three ways in
Reno and Sparks come down I-580 from the north. Lake Tahoe comes over the summit on US-50 from the west. Carson Valley comes up US-395 from the south. All three land on North Carson Street.
Coming from Reno, the lake or the Valley?
- Reno & Sparks — 31 mi, about 40 min via I-580 · Plan the trip from Reno
- Lake Tahoe — 26–30 mi, about 45–55 min via US-50 · Plan the trip from the lake
- Carson Valley (Minden–Gardnerville) — 16–18 mi, about 30–35 min via US-395 · Plan the trip from the Valley
- Already in Carson City — 0.9 mi, north of the Capitol via N Carson St · Plan a day downtown
Before you head out
We're open every day from 10 AM to 6 PM — Saturday and Sunday included — so a weekend drive works as well as a weekday one. Holiday hours aren't posted, so if you're coming on or near a holiday, call (775) 461-3142 first.
Give yourself time. The mall runs over 21,000 square feet across two floors of numbered vendor booths, and there's an upstairs that's easy to miss. One reviewer, Suzy C., spent "a couple of hours just exploring" — that's about the right pace.
Shopping for something big?
If you're hunting a hutch, a dresser or a table, measure the spot it's going and the cargo space you're driving before you leave home. Booths change as vendors sell and restock, so the piece you saw online last month may have found a home — and something better may be sitting in its place.
Once you're here
Look for the yellow sign on North Carson Street and pull into the lot in front of the building. The cashier is at the entrance, and the Treasure Map shows the main floor booth by booth — restrooms included.
