Whoopee Bowl Antique Mall

I visited a month ago and although I did not purchase anything I was able to see items I had never seen before! What I love about Whoopee Bowl is that it is a true treasure hunting experience. If you need something particular you will be able to find it but you should be ready to invest considerable time in searching. This is not a speedy experience but it will be a unique experience! I continue to highly recommend!

This place has EVERYTHING! It's a trip to the past. Antique toys, appliances and furniture. As I walked around I couldn't help but wonder about the stories behind each object.

Great shopping while driving through. ElPaso Texas. Large many vendors and cashiers and front desk staff helped us and answered all our questions. A must when in neighborhood, and we will make the trip again.

By far the best antique shop I ever been too. Love coming here and seeing what new oddities they have. Can easily spend a few hrs here looking around and not get bored. Some statues give me the hibbee jibbees but other than that its fun to shop. Seeing toys I had when I was a kid here to seeing old wood stoves my grand parents use to have. Its really is like walking through several time periods. Especially if you are a history buff like I am, they have so many historical items for sale. Need to check it out even if you are just driving through. Its worth the stop.

OMG! OMG! OMG!Do you like antique stores, junk stores, treasure hunting or a step back in time? Yes!?Go here. Spend the day, go back the next day. You still won't see everything. Outside is covered in alien statues, metal everything, old (I mean old) appliances, Big Boy statues, random weird yard ornaments. Inside is filled with individual booths of EVERYTHING - old license plates, bottles, Coke collectables, trunks, pot belly stoves, etc etc etc. Go upstairs if you like vinyl records. I could have spent two days thumbing through those.

At first look it is quirky, kinda filthy and the type of place you might find something cool. With a slightly closer look you see the Confederate flags and the oil painting of Hitler for sale for $3500. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.

Love love love this geographical treasure! My husband and I love our hunts for good antique stores or malls and this one tops all! Like most antique spots, you have the few not so old mixed with the very very old but this place is true to their antique title more than new. Winning in our books!My husband is a huge sucker for historical pieces and since this place actually has all that and then some, this is our favorite go to spot on a bored saturday morning. Theres also a sweet koi pond where you can feed them. The food dispenser is from a lil gumball stand. On top of that, they sell really cheap popcorn that they make fresh throughout the day. And we got to feed this free roaming chicken on the lot. How more fun can an antique store get???

I've come to really love Whoopee Bowl and in the past month I've made two trips. Honestly I could easily make two more trips before the month is over. There's just so much stuff that even if their inventory really hasn't changed in that small amount of time, I find something I didn't see last time. And it doesn't hurt that my husband loves rummaging through Whoopee Bowl too. Whoopee!For the most part, Whoopee Bowl hasn't changed a bit. Sure there's a different inventory than there was three years ago when I wrote my original review (although the phone booth is still there) and the owner's dog doesn't make appearances anymore, it's good ol' Whoopee Bowl.The first trip I took my husband on out here we only had about 45 minutes until closing, but I came on a quest for vintage books and either a tray or something I could finish and use as a tray. I left with vintage books, a tray that looks to have been made from pallets in good condition, and a washboard (because who doesn't need a washboard?). We didn't get a good look at everything because it was so close to closing time, but luckily I realized I needed more vintage books so we had a reason to go back. The next time I found a few books that I pretty much swooned over... there's something magical about picking up a book that was printed before the 1900's. My husband also found a fishing pole that had some significance (I'm not familiar with any fishing poles so I couldn't tell you what that significance was). At the moment, my quest was solely for items for our master bedroom and bathroom, but I almost went home with a oil lamp for my office.Whoopee Bowl has so many interesting items, so much history... "an antique wonderland" as I previously said. You can negotiate a bit on pricing of certain items, but since a majority of it is consignment, there isn't a ton of wiggle room unless you're willing to wait and let them talk to the actual owner of the piece. But if you're looking for vintage books, all of the books located on the upper level by the stairs are $5! I can seriously spend hours at Whoopee Bowl and if you have even the smallest amount of appreciation for history, you probably will too.

I enjoyed visiting this place, although at times it was overwhelming, especially upstairs. It's not well organized, but that is part of the charm. It was fun to stroll through and look at everything. The number of stoves was impressive. If there was one thing I would recommend, it would be to try and organize the vinyl records upstairs. I'm a big vinyl collector, and this was one of the most impressive collections I have ever seen, but I gave up after a few minutes because there was no way to look through them all.

Lots of odd stuff! Me and my girlfriend can spend hours in there. Next time we take lunch !
