    First time there. I was in awe. Tons of treasures. Jewelry to furniture. Vintage antiques to modern day items . I came home with a loot.

    A LOT to look at. I wasn't too happy about how people didn't seem to know how to give personal space so we could browse and meander without feeling pushed or rushed, but found a few interesting items in our rushed tour. I look forward to going back (perhaps on a weekday) and really browse to find some more goodies.

    This place is amazing! It's massive with lots of treasures to be found and friendly staff. If you love antiques this is the best place in the valley.

    This place is loaded with things! It’s organized pretty well. The workers are happy and upbeat and the best part was that I didn’t have terribly long waits when I pressed the attendant bell to come open a secured case for me. The register people were careful and caring. I will be back for sure! Among things I bought were a signed Mark Twain book, a receipt from 1875, a religious book from 1875, and a yard stick from my childhood beloved TG&Y store.

    The Brass Armadillo is the BEST antique mall in Arizona! There's a diverse variety of antiques, vintage treasures, and unique collectibles for just about everyone. You could easily spend several hours here! You never know what you'll find. (Celebrities and Pickers from around the state & country shop here, they know the BEST place to shop for vintage goods!) 😁 Staff are very friendly and helpful. I always find some cool treasures here from my favorite dealers at reasonable prices. FIVE STARS!

    Totally unique experience. A thrifty antique store the size of a Walmart. We find some good items and had some good laughs

    This is such a cool place. You need more than one visit to see everything. I saw so many items I wanted to have. I got a wreath for the patio and beautiful bracelets. I was visiting from California and was short on time. The next visit to Arizona will find me here. 💜

    The Brass Armadillo is one of the most unique and incredible places to explore. I'd love to say that this place is a true antique store, but you have artifacts from the 1900s to even late last year. If you need a fun date idea, something to do to beat the heat, early/late Christmas shopping, last-minute birthday gift (or office party gift) then look no further. There are a couple of locations!

    Cool stuff! You never know what you will find. When people come in from out of town, I always bring them here. It's a cool place to walk around and you can always find a conversation starter. If you want to go through everything I would set aside 3-4 hours. I always have lots of fun here.

    The Brass Armadillo is a unique shopping experience.This place is sectioned off and each spot is rented out by different vendors.They have new & antique items. There is so much to look at, losing track of time is a given. If finding that treasure in the haystack is your type of shopping this place is for you.The weekends are busy so come during the week to avoid the crowds.The employees are very friendly. Definitely recommend visiting at least once if in the area.

    They have some cool things, like a bunch of posters and small knickknacks. They have a few racist things put out, but I guess that's to be expected

  • 5/5 jeff n. 4 months ago on Google
    The store is well organized very clean with a huge variety of antiques, old and newish. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Most prices are great. All in all it's an excellent place to find unexpected treasures.

  • 5/5 Marlaina T. 2 years ago on Google
    A really fun place to spend an hour or more looking at vintage, hard-to-find, and unique items. This is THE store for white elephant gift exchanges in my book. There’s such a wide variety of items. I always find something strange and incredible here.

  • 5/5 Janet B. 3 months ago on Google New
    I love the Brass Armadilo. I find the most unique items and everyone is so friendly. It's a great place for finding treasures and seeing an item that reminds you of the past or the present. I highly recommend this place.

  • 3/5 Albert L. 3 months ago on Google New
    Everyone is nice and the place is clean but I rated it lower because I didn’t find many things were my taste and the prices for items seemed a bit high. I’d still recommend trying it for yourself if you haven’t!

  • 5/5 a.l. r. 5 months ago on Google
    Large antique mall with a lot of variety and helpful staff. I'm typically looking for vintage sewing stuff: they had couple of machines but not a ton of other sewing items. To be fair, I only spent about an hour here and didn't dig deep, so it is entirely possible I missed something. I would come back to spend more time overall, and with an appetite for the sterling jewelry at the front. Also in plentiful abundance here: fiestaware, vintage dishes, licence plates, furniture, and art.

  • 5/5 Niemann S. 6 months ago on Google
    Awesome place for old and new finds! My wife and I went here to just look around and ended up having to leave because we found so much that we wanted to buy 😅makes for a great date or place to just walk around and browse

  • 5/5 Tina A. 6 months ago on Google
    Love being a vendor Collectibles pretty rocks and more B77 on Nebraska and C83 on Arizona. New merchandise all the time. Crew is helpful and friendly. I grew up in that neighborhood, nice to feel at home in our shop

  • 5/5 Brittany C. 6 months ago on Google
    Always a fun place! They have a little of everything and are always friendly!

  • 5/5 Joshua H. 7 months ago on Google
    It's always awesome to go there because there is always something to see and a nice atmosphere onec u walk in, so you know there's some great people who run the business. But yes, a place to truly visit. You have too goooooo!

  • 5/5 Victoria P. 7 months ago on Google
    It was really fun and a great surprise to find a place with so many great antiques and private sellers so the prices were very reasonable. A ton to look at. The air-conditioning was a little spotty in places, but there were areas that were also very cool. Nice staff and greeter at the door. Convenient baskets for your goodies. There is no snack area, but they do sell bottled water at the front counter. Which even in September is a must for us here in AZ. Definitely recommend this place. So many aisles we spent about 2 hours shopping and reminiscing about childhood.

    Beautiful i found the right items for my kids and wife the have a lot of things very good antiques vintages with years good prices if you are a collector this is the right place to come

  • 5/5 Edward C. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place! Come here for a trip down memory lane and to see and learn about those things that you never even knew existed! This store has it all! I picked up MJ's Thriller LP and also the DVD of Collateral with Tom Cruise and Jamie Fox. Last time I got Disney's Cars die cast mini set with Mack Semi Hauler and a 10" Star Wars BB-8 ceramic bank! You never know what you're going to get!

  • 5/5 Isaiah L. 2 years ago on Google
    had a great time here with my kids. now that metro mall is gone this antique shop is a fun place inside to go for kids to check out new/old things. since its now 100 degrees outside.

  • 4/5 Bo B. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is absolutely HUGE! You walk in the door and there are always a bunch of people there to help you get things out of cases or find what you're looking for. My 4 star rating is based on variety, ease of navigating around the store, friendliness of staff & cleanliness of store. As for quality of product - it's an antique mall, each individual vendor decides what they put in there. Not really a real "Antique" place - you won't find nice antique furniture or quality brand name products. But you will find a lot of collectibles type stuff.

  • 5/5 Jake G. 2 years ago on Google
    A must visit if you're an antique and collectible aficionado. I make a point to come here every time I'm in they Phoenix area. They also have a rewards program through their website. Worth checking out if you're a local.

  • 5/5 jasminejdotcom 2 years ago on Google
    I love this place! Shop Booth 72 for some awesome craft supplies, office storage solutions, and beautiful art work!

  • 5/5 Momma M. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent selection, wonderful staff, clean and organized, wonderful security. A guy tried to steal a big piece and the young man jumped right in front of him! Awesome! Reasonable prices, no complaints.

  • 3/5 John B. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is packed to the gills, so it's a little hard to take everything in. There were only a few associates in the store, so when you found something within a locked case, it took a long time to get service. I was amazed at how many items, were just handmade junk, given an antique appearance, and price.

  • 5/5 Aleksander B. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic store, filled with a wide variety of items and ever expanding their selection. I do wish they still had the cafe inside as sometimes I feel I really work up an appetite from walking around, but you're definitely bound to find a new treasure (or 5) walking around here. I'd suggest going early in the day if they have a sale, since this place can get packed.

  • 5/5 Christel G. 1 year ago on Google
    I very much enjoyed shopping at both of the armadillo antique stores. There is always so much to see.

  • 5/5 April N. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is a great treasure hunt! Found this horse I owned as a child. I had the saddle at home but no horse. My daughter spotted this horse without a saddle. I was so excited! My daughter wants to go back already! The workers were all kind and super helpful! Please be aware this will be a few hour adventure!

  • 4/5 Robert T. 2 years ago on Google
    The place sense Covid has changed. A lot of the classic deals who quality treasures have moved out. A lot of the booths are overfilled with yard sale or goodwill finds. I gave it a 4 star based on large amount of goods, plenty of customer service and random vendors.

  • 5/5 Zack K. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is a utopia of treasures people are sleeping on!! I found the coolest stuff for dirt cheap and be ready to get lost. They have signs above the aisles so you won't get confused but some aisles have two names, one begins about halfway down the aisle. It's confusing but thankfully a personal shopper for the store came up to me twice during my visit and hauled my bigger picks behind the front counter and marked them for me. This was a great experience and I've already told everyone I know. It's retro games to handmade lamps, quilts, art for every genre. If you can think of it, this place has got it and I'll definitely be back soon to pick some sweet stuff!!! 🙂
