The Crossroads Antique Mall is located on 825 Cocoa Avenue in Hershey, Pennsylvania. If you're coming from Lancaster it's about a 35-40 minute drive or a 15-20 minute drive from Harrisburg. Of course, that all depends on traffic.
One of the nice things about the antique mall is that it's not located in downtown Hershey. During the summer tourist season the downtown area can get extremely busy and crowded. It's a few minutes drive from the downtown area which makes it nice.
You'll find it in an old historic barn. The barn is white with dark green trim with a gray roof. There's signage on all 4 sides of the building, so you should be able to find it fairly easy. There's a free parking lot right behind the barn with 2-3 handicap parking spaces for those who need them.
Once inside you'll find that there are 2 large floors to explore. Each floor has different boths offering antiques and collectibles from local sellers. On the day that we were there...all booths were fairly clean and organized. Unlike other antique malls...this one is clean, organized and you won't find a lot of junk lying around.
There are stairs to go downstairs to the bottom floor. Down there we saw a lot of the same type of items that we saw upstairs...with perhaps a little bit more furniture being offered by those sellers compared to the ones upstairs. Downstairs is where you'll find the public restrooms.
Checkout is located in one central area...right by the entrance doors. On the day that we were there they weren't overly busy...so we were able to get in...look around, shop and checkout all within 90 minutes or so. I would recommend allowing at least 1 hour in your schedule if you plan on visiting.
Overall it was a nice antique mall to visit. My only gripe is that the majority of the items we saw were majorly over-priced. We go to a lot of antiques and collectibles stores and the prices at this one were way above what we typically see for the same or similar items. They had nice items but I feel they could do a lot more business if they had more reasonable prices. Other than that, we enjoyed our visit.
