heart of ohio antiques

Heart of Ohio is not far from where I grew up. When I come home to visit, I always like to stop and see what I "may need". I feel a sense of calm and relaxation just wandering the aisles looking at antiques. I never go in with the intent of buying as I need nothing BUT I always find something I can't live without. On my last trip I found an aluminum Christmas tree just like my Grandma's. The tree was well priced and I could see the condition. I was not ordering blind off the web. I also found a wonderful salesman sample of a dining table. (Now I need to find two little chairs.) The café serves very tasty lunch type items and the restrooms are clean and well maintained. The staff is helpful and friendly. Karen was a big help in getting someone to pack up the Christmas tree for me as I continued to shop. Thank you Heart of Ohio for another wonderful six plus hour day of shopping and browsing with friends. I highly recommend anyone (that has a love for antiques) stop at the Heart.

The Heart of Ohio antiques mall in Springfield Ohio is probably one of the best places around to shop for antiques and enjoy a day doing so. Very professional, giant building, if you have never been there plan a good entire day to really see everything. Some of the best dealers are set up there and all the items in the store are top notch in antiques. It is well worth the trip there. I highly recommend this antique mall to customers and dealers alike. They even have a small area where they make some fantastic food or if you just want to sit down and enjoy a cold drink or coffee, etc. I rate this place 5 stars and they have earned every one of them.

This is a large antique mall. Easy to get lost in. Go when you can spend a large amount of time walking around. There is employees able to help and show items in cases. Parking is plentiful. Great for a rainy day. Tons of glass items.

My husband and I are antiques dealers from PA and we frequent MANY antiques malls. While this is certainly the largest mall, and there is great potential here to find a bargain, it is by no means the BEST antiques mall in the US. I do appreciate the fact that they do jury the booths and collectibles are held to a minimum. It IS however, at the top of the list of malls in the Springfield area.

Maybe I'm spoiled by the little mom and pop shops I frequent in Indiana but I think the items in this mall were overpriced. There is a lot to see and the mall itself is very well maintained and great fun to look through but I found no great bargains or anything that I had to have that I felt I couldn't pass up. The staff was very nice and helpful.

We always stop after a long trip to stretch and walk thru the store. There is so many items and ideas to see and purchase.

My wife and I are antique mall dealers, and we wanted to see the largest antique mall in America which is this one. We decided to make a weekend of it. This mall has 114,000 square feet. There are hundreds of cases and booths. They specialize in high quality antiques, so there is little of the crafts/flea market items you find in some antique malls. This mall has an exceptional staff, both in quality and quantity. In each aisle is a person waiting to open a case for you, or to take your selections to a holding bin while you keep shopping. This mall opens cases faster than any other mall we have ever been to. They also have a great restaurant inside. We had a grilled ham and cheese that was excellent. The bathrooms are large and clean too. It took us about 9 hours to go through the entire mall, looking for only the stuff we like which is pretty specialized. Someone interested in general antiques might need a week or more to go through everything. This mall is worth a visit from anyone who likes antiques or shopping in general.

This has got to be one of the best antique malls around anywhere! There are many large antique malls around but not all of them have wall to wall quality antiques. There is something for everyone here from high end antiques to shabby chic furnishings. There are 650 dealers in a 116,000 sq. ft. building to hold your interest. Everything is clean, rest rooms available, and a small cafe that serves a variety of sandwiches, soup, and salad. Plus staff is friendly, courteous, and very helpful. It is worth a stop while traveling and you will not be disappointed.

This place is very large, and to really check out all the many items that are offered, will take up to 5 hours to do. A very wide and broad range of items, some really great things, the mall is clean, they are staffed very well, never a long wait to get into a showcase, and the staff is very friendly, bathrooms are large and clean. The only reason I didnt give it a "5" is the prices are old school prices and are very high, some of the merchandise has been there so long that the prices are faded and can't be read, but there are still items that are reasonable, and we made a few purchases, but basically everyone you walked by was saying how high the prices are.

It had been a few years since my last visit to the Heart of Ohio. So many once great antique malls are no longer in existence or have declined to yard sale type markets. I am glad to report that the Heart of Ohio Antique Mall is still a great place to shop for antiques and collectibles buyers. The mall is neat, well organized and full of great old items. I always find something I like here.

At exit 62 on 1-70. Opened every day from 9:30 to 6 pm. This place is huge and the selection is great. You get 10% off anything over $20 and can make an offer on anything worth more than $50 – they will call the dealer and you can negotiate. Half way through the place, we had lunch at their Mo-Jo’s Café. My husband had the special and a tea, I had a Coney dog, bag of chips and fountain drink and the whole thing cost $11.21. The food was really good and the staff was excellent. After lunch we continued our antique shopping. I found the prices here on specific things a bit more expensive then at Jeffries’ Antiques (exit 59) but depending on what you want, it’s probably give and take. Recommended if you like antiques and memorabilia collectibles. Really glad we stopped here since we walked away with a few things and we were there for about 2-3 hours.

This place is HUGE. We spend about 3 hours and found about dozen items between us and a fair amount for what we got. Was a little confusing on how to navigate it , the gentlemen at the gate was helpful. Told us start right and keep a wall to the right follow it around to the beginning.The staff there was wonderful and most helpful

I went to the Heart of Ohio Antique Mall on a recommendation of a friend. What an experience! You need several hours to go through the 8 sections, and then you will not be able to take it all in. The quality of merchandise is very good, and they have workers to assist you all throughout the shopping areas. There is a snack bar, they have clean restrooms, and there is even a sitting/TV lounge area if you get tired and need to rest. The prices are reasonable, and discounts are offered when you spend a certain amount per item. The workers are friendly, helpful, and proficient at their jobs. It was a pleasure shopping there.

This is the best antique store in Ohio. Honesly every time we go here we spend lots of money on good stuff. Mostly glassware and wind up toys is what we buy! LOVE THE PLACE!

Bigger doesn't always mean better, but in this case, it's hard to go through the 160,000 square foot building without something that you're going to want to take home. Like many Antique malls these days there are some booths that aren't quite "Antique", but the vast majority are here, some really stellar booths, I typically go about 3 times a year and I find stock turns over with regularity. One of the best features of this mall is that for items over $100 you can place an offer - I find this to be an excellent service. It benefits both the customer and the dealer. I've used the offer server on a number of occassions and it has been beneifical each time. I typically go through the mall at a rather quick pace looking for items that will pop out.....it takes me about 2 hours to do it that way.....I expect a leisurely pace will take double that.....that said where else are going going to find the equivelant of 5 to 10 Antique Malls in one spot. A must vist!
