The spot linked below is a 3-4 story antique mall, with an assortment of all kinds of stuff. It is definitely interesting to walk through for the shere volume of stuff they have. It's close to downtown as well... https://www.antiquesonpierce.com
If by "good" you mean "sheer massive size and how the hell are there this many people trying to sell me junk?" I can't recommend 7 Mile Fair enough. For furniture that isn't necessarily old but still usable and cheap, you should check out one of the Re-Stores.

If your looking for a store with all kinds of stuff, you should check out American Science and Surplus at 6901 W. Oklahoma. https://www.sciplus.com/

There are tons of Goodwills, Re-stores (there is 1 in Milwaukee and 2 in the suburbs if you feel like driving), st.Vinnies (best one is in Waukesha and in northern Milwaukee), Bethesda in Hales Corners, 7 Mile. And this Sunday the 29 th there is a flea market at Holy Hill (I'll be selling there with my dad and I think would would be worth it for you to check out considering what you are looking for!)

Http://Www.Nostalgiahomedecor.com We have restored stuff, but if you want to pick through our basement, we have a lot of rough stuff, old tools, furniture that needs some work. We are trying to clear out some stuff, because we have a new shipment coming in. We'll give you some deals. 1821 n Dr Martin Luther King Jr drive Open 12-6.

Value Village on Layton in Cudahy. One of the last of the thrift stores that aren't Goodwill.

Annex antiques/Clinton street antiques on 1st is like 3 antique stores all in a row, one is more of a traditional antique store with lots of cool stuff all in random piles and a bunch of old clothes and random things, the other two are a little more put together/organized for the purposes of displaying cus I'm pretty sure they're the owners' personal collections and not vendor-based. One of the smaller stores is more dedicated to antique furniture if I remember correctly. You can stop by antiques on Pierce first, go to the annex and then have a drink/meal at O'Lydias! :)
I think you'll really enjoy the two smaller stores based on your interests. The last few times I went there there was a lot of cool old furniture (think stuff found in factories), cream city brick, old machinery from the Peter Cooper glue factory, etc. Very industrial. One of them is a rainbow colored building, you can't miss it

Also check out Maxwell Street days in cedarburg and various other cities. Also Elkorn has a big one with more antique stuff. Princton has a weekly one that has some cool stuff as well.
Is there any gift store like Mars Cheese Castle in the area? Or any place with Wisconsin shirts? My mom is visiting and wants one. Thanks

Value Village on 4 th and North ave has a vast furniture collection in the basement. Goodwill on Capitol is a pretty good bet as well, though I've found them empty before.
