"One of the best Market I have even been to. It is very clean."

"Parking also could be an issue."
"Finding a parking spot may be challenging and most spots are paid parking spots."
"Never made it inside. It was an absolute zoo around there packed to the gills with people and all available parking was taken."
"It’s a 'hip' place to go in Lancaster, but it gets over crowded, Loud, and often times dirty."
"We visited on a Saturday and found it too crowded to navigate without much difficulty and even some frustration."
"It can get crowded with tourists in the summer and it's also not air conditioned so I try to be out of there by 10am at the latest."

Cons:
"Most produce are similar to what you can find in your regular grocery stores, and only few seem to be farm fresh."
"Prices at our local market/farm stand are better, so it wasn't that exciting for us."
"It seemed like the stands had limited produce or whatever they were selling."
"A lot of food options at first glance, but in reality the quality of them are not high."
"I will say some of the stands can be pricey! I recently saw 'homegrown tomatoes' $3.99 each... I am not doubting the quality but other stands that sell homegrown were going for 3.99 for an entire basket of tomatoes."

Cons:
"Parking is a pain although there is plenty of paid parking garages within a block."
"Parking is expensive and less convenient."
"Parking is always a pain. Just park in the parking garage and walk."
"The Parking isn't the greatest. It's a small lot and you may have a walk to reach the market."
"Parking can be a pain too just because of how popular Market is."
"Parking is a slight challenge till you figure the ins and outs of the area."
