Platte Valley Antique Mall

We planned a short day trip from Des Moines IA to Lincoln NE on July 5th with stops in Omaha NE and Council Bluffs IA on our way home...We love to hit antique shops, antique malls, thrift, and consignment shops.Platte Valley Antique Mall, Cafe & Pub in nearby Greenwood NE was probably our favorite stop. Followed closely by Vintage Village Antique Mall, Aardvark Antiques, Burlington Antiques, and Timeless Treasures in Lincoln NE.All of these shops are worth stopping at and checking out!We really didn't get to Omaha NE itself, but there's always next time...! We only ran into one shop that we would not recommend. Lake Manawa Antiques in Councill Bluffs IA... Look it up. Lol

This place is a best kept secret! Off the beaten path, but actually easy to get to. Super nice people there, w great merchandise choices and pretty good prices. Worth a trip there!

I have been shopping here since the 90's and they have consistently been a top shop. Everything from tin litho toys to furniture, from fabulous advertising pieces to great glass, whether it be Fenton or Steuben. And, they've got a great bar and restaurant, too.

Lots of items to view and prices seem good. Some days the cafe is open so stop for coffee. Easy access right on I-80.

Absolute beautiful place with great antiques, but they know the worth of their antiques. You aren't getting a deal here, you are just looking at really cool stuff. Cast iron pan, $100. Roasting pan $355. I literally didn't see a steel or bargain on a single antique, but cute to look.

This was one of the most racist retail experiences I have ever had. Walking in the staff and owner was staring at the two of us (my best friend and I) and refused to even talk to us. They continued to follow us around the store and creep under the assumption that we were stealing something. Both of us spent quite a bit of money buying a few things here and there, and while folding the items they were dropped on the floor after being paid for. After asking if the items have been washed one of the sales assistants just said "I don't know the sellers put what they want in the booths and we cannot control it" while walking away from us. Now, in addition to all of this, they have the largest collection of overpriced racist memorabilia I've ever seen in my life. This was after buying our items, and quite honestly we were flabbergasted. The items were displayed casually throughout the store without even mentioning the racist origins of the objects. If it weren't for my friend purchasing some of the objects for research purposes they would have been distributed to collectors unwilling to acknowledge the political weight of the objects. Finally, while checking out one of the women refused to look or even talk to us. And this was after both of us had spent $100 each at the store. She seemed scared of us which was incredibly confusing. If you're interested in seeing the most unabashed display of racism though items and attitude, you will not want to miss this location.

The minute I walked in, I knew I was in the right place. It smelled just like those antique barns my dad used to take us to when we were kids. Actually, we called them "junk barns". They were huge, dark, cold, smelly and full of crazy stuff my dad used to haul home. All my childhood furniture came from places like this.This place is just like I remembered. There are two Bettys working the front, which has some of the finer selections from the plethora of dealers who rent booths here. Lots of good oak furniture, clocks, dishes, books, jewelry....and that's not the half of it! There is a sort of bar/restaurant there, too, but it was not open at 9:30am on a Saturday morning.It's right off exit 420 on I-80, open 9am-8pm daily.I am coming back when I have a house to put some of this stuff in, like George Carlin said.

great place and service. always something new to discover.incredible bloody Mary's and lunch choices. freshly made and tasty but having Cassie at the bar was by far the best treat, such a great young lady to talk and laugh with after hours on the road. will be back

Good selection, very expensive compared to other shops nearby. My sister and I felt like everyone was looking at us, potentially because we were the only ones wearing masks? Not sure but my sister thought it was because they thought she might be stealing? I'm a doctor and she's in USAF intelligence...if you can't trust us I feel the world is in grave danger. Lol.

Take the time to pull off I-80 and walk through Platte Valley Antiques. Miriam and her team will help you find just what you are looking for. Great stuff!
