Magnolia Market Tips
Crowds
Lunch time (especially on Saturdays) is the busiest time at the Silos. If you want to avoid the larger crowd, it is recommended to come around opening or closer to closing time. You can also plan your visit during the week instead of on the weekend.
Shipping
Good news! If you find something you must have from the Market and you don’t have enough room to bring it home (like if you flew to Texas like we did and you want to buy a large piece of wall decor), you can SHIP it to your home right from the market!
Seating
If you grabbed food from the food trucks or just need to cop a squat, there are a few different seating options at the silos. First under a huge gazebo with a great view of the silos, there are a number of picnic tables. These are the closest option to the food trucks and a great spot to sit and people watch. You can also just find a seat ON the lawn. It’s artificial turf so you’ll stay clean and tidy. There are also little bistro tables in front of the market entrance, right behind the Silos Baking Co. This area can be directly in the sun and is a little busier, but a cute spot to stop at if you get the chance.
Restrooms
The indoor bathrooms tend to acquire lines pretty quickly (especially during busier times). Outside by the Magnolia Table food truck and the Seed and Supply store you will find another set of restrooms.
Parking
No matter when you visit, you can park for free. Right off of 8th street you will find a parking lot just for the Magnolia Market. If that happens to be full though, there is a lot of on street parking. Another great option would be to park downtown (also for free) and take the short trolley ride to the Silos. Out of respect for other businesses, it is asked that if you are visiting the Silos to please not park in their parking lots.
Spending the day at the Magnolia Market at the Silos is the perfect way to unplug and just enjoy your family time. There is plenty to do and see (not to mention all of the delicious food to eat) where you can easily make a day of being at the Silos.
