Tips & Advice
- Buy special event tickets in advance, because they sell out quickly and are only sold at the door if the event hasn't sold out.
- Sort out how you'll pay before you arrive, because there is no ATM at the Trade Mart during the marketplace.
- Leave strollers, rolling carts and rolling bags at home, because none of them are allowed inside the marketplace.
- Drop your bags at Package Check in the Atrium, next to the general shopping entrance, so you can keep shopping without carrying everything.
- On Saturday, eat earlier in the day, because the Food Pavilion closes before shopping wraps up that afternoon.
