Brass Armadillo Antique Mall - Des Moines - Des Moines, Iowa

Very big building. Very organized and easy to walk around. Lots and lots to see. Very interesting things from the past bringing back great memories. Most items for sale where in good to average condition considering the age of most items. Staff was very helpful. Overall very clean and organized well. My only critism is the average asking price for items where at or above actually value. If you find that one thing you want from the past then the price probably doesn't matter. Don't expect to find that killer cost deal. Was a cool experience walking around with things for most tastes.

Holy smokes! The most ginormous antique mall I've ever been in. Must be long at least two football fields wide and a football field long. So much to see, and one of the largest varieties of antiques and vintage items in one spot. Everything was well laid out and orderly. Less cluttered than a lot of antique spots.
The employees were very kind and efficient.
Plan for a half a day to see most of the place.

We only had time to go through half the store but I found a Land O Lakes promotional tray that was in great condition at a fair price. We are going back soon to see the rest of the store. Lots of inventory and fair prices ! Allow about 3 - 4 hours for the whole store.

The Brass Armadillo is one of the best antique malls in the Midwest. It is everything that other antique malls strive to be. It has a nice size parking lot. The building is massive ; the layout is set up with Avenues and Drive. They thoughtfully have maps for free at the door. The bathrooms are on the front side. They are clean and maintained.
The design is optimal for each vendor. They have all sorts of antiques and collectibles.
Since the vendors have their own stocks of things, you can find a wide variety of almost anything imaginable. Even better is the "Avenues" are wide enough for more than a single person browsing. You really have to spend time searching each exhibit. As every vendor is different.
They do have vending machines. And even being well seasoned with antique malls, we still spent almost three hours and still didn't get to every avenue. This means that we will be back.

It is such a great place to spend a few hours walking and looking at all kinds or random items. This place has something for everyone, from baseball cards to an old butter churn. I guarantee you will find something to peak your interest in this place.
