Massachusetts Convention Center Authority Reviews

Large conference centre, liked the walkways on the 2 nd floor to get from side to other, over exhibition hall, sand long walk around the building. Convenient for public transport and hotels. Good restaurants short distance away on seaport area

I like this Convention in boston there always pax east everytime and its perfect.

So spacious and a couple floors. So glad Fan Expo is going here instead of Seaport World Trade Center

Great convention center. Open and airy. A lot of natural light. Easy to navigate.

Awesome day exhibiting at the Ma conference for women!

Nice facility with lots of areas to hang out in between scheduled events or conferences. They also have plug ins for phone/computer recharge.

Good food wasn't too hot or too cold great place for big events

Went to a great event, staff was awesome, everywere was clean. Cant wait till next year!

Impressed with this convention center. Much bigger than the one in rhode island. My first time here at this event and was intense and overwhelming. Paxeast eas pretty cool.

The best large venue convention experience on the East Coast.

Went for Pax, amazing facility! Integrated food court isn't great.

They are not paying workers fair wages. Food is overpriced. Great space for large events.

Parking shuttle was not for the show we were at. I noticed one person had to go a considerable distance on crutches to get in. Several doors were locked and blocked requiring more walking.

I was here for APS March meeting. Drove here from CT. Parking was convenient, but there is lot of traffic in and out of Boston.

Great venue for expos etc, open and easy to get around despite the huge size!

Large conference center decent for big gatherings. Bathrooms could be better maintained.

It is a great convention space with an easy layout. The food prices are high at least for PAX East.

PAX East.
There's a reason why you have to get tickets way in advance

Very cool, has lots of potential and is always great (time)

Great venue!
Staff were very helpful from the loading dock to inside!

Massive convention venue with tons of room, but the food is outlandishly expensive, and going from the entrance to the exhibits requires a long walk.

Great place however the concession prices are insane.

I've attended the HubSpot inbound conference here every year for the past 5 years. I still marvel at the sheer size of the facility. I tell every first-time attendee to bring really comfortable shoes. One area where I think BCEC could improve: bathroom cleanliness. I totally get that when a conference has 24,000 attendees, it is logistically very difficult to keep the facility immaculate. I also feel like the food and beverage pricing within the convention center borders on predatory. But then again I know Boston is just a really expensive city for cost of living.

Large convention center. Clean and ready to get around inside.

You can get there by T red line. A bit of a walk. Its massive and well lit. The open floor space made it easy to walk about.

Seafood show in Boston! Big building with parking lot which is 18$ per day in Sunday!

This place is HUGE. It has been hosting PAX East for the last two years, and it is a very good location for that venue. I am disappointed by the variety of food surrounding this location, however, as the food inside the convention center is overpriced. Sodas or water cost 3.50. Food items cost anywhere from 5-10 dollars and are generally small portions.

Decent space and set up. Layout feels better than the new York convention center. Public transport is close.

I go to the new car show every year.
A lot of walking, clean.

This is for PAX East. I haven't been here in years and partially remember why. Getting in took forever especially when getting there early. Line management was non-existent and annoying. The displays and advertisements with interesting to see but it didnt feel like as many major titles and studios were present BUT the indie games were great. A whole section on Facebook gaming was interesting since I wouldn't register with them if I was about to die.

Too many people who want to be Instagram famous(or every other platform famous) roaming around with their cameras block the walking paths was beyond annoying. Though some of them seemed to be interested in the convention and not just their face in the camera.

The cosplayers were good though. Lots of nice work put into outfits and obviously some people who threw some PJs on and called it artwork.

Overall 3 stars for multiple reasons. It's not all the events fault for some shortcomings but the spirit of the event didnt feel right. Also the side missions of the teams was nice except for the fact a couple had a line so long it was crazy just to tap your badge. If you are going one day is not recommended as you will not enjoy everything and will have to choose.

Good convention center. Spacious. Not very far from great restaurants.

Great location for a conference. I just wish the prices for food inside were cheaper.

One of the better convention venues I've been to, just make sure you eat before you come or be prepared to get raked over the coals. Some of the prices make ball parks and movie theaters look like bargains. $5 for a soft pretzel is insane, $12 for mac and cheese appalling, and it just gets worse from there.

The gates are really confusing. Basically you can t walk in from west and south side. No restaurant nearby so eating is difficult. The WiFi speed is fast though.

Beautiful architectural design, well-placed interior perfect for big meetings and conventions. Located just off of the city center within walking distance to hotels. A great venue in an even greater city.

Went for pax, big building with lots off access. Just a shame they attempt to funnel everyone through 2 doors when the first open in the morning.

Substantial amount of space. Can get lost around here if event host does not supply adequate map. Baggage check when you enter. Employees are very nice and accommodating.

Lots of space for almost anything. Was there for PAX.

A well laid out and very functional convention center. I've been here for both work and fun conferences. They are well organized and clean. Getting there can be a bit of a nightmare at times because of the layout of the surrounding streets and intersections, plus a lot of the construction going on. Food is overpriced and options can be somewhat limited.

Freaking huge. I went here for PAX East, and it was packed. However the venue is so huge there was plenty of room for everyone.
The main exhibition hall was so enormous, I still can't believe it- I got a little lost more than once, and I generally have a good sense of direction.
The food was very expensive but good, at least at the pizza place I went to. The restrooms were pretty well taken care of, especially considering the tens of thousands of people there for PAX.

I go here for comic con when i can had an amazing time

Very spacious, plenty of public power outlets available for charging, free WiFi even if you're just in the lobby not attending an event. REALLY strong air conditioning.

Love it.
Great sites and costumes.

If you ve been to the Jacob Javits Center and enjoyed it, you will love the Boston Convention Center. I was there for the annual PAX Convention for gamers and was like a kid in a candy store. Very big, clean and safe environment.

This convention center really brings our city up to speed. Located adjacent from the seaport district and next to lawn on D. It's a spacious, beautiful place for all kinds of conventions.

Great venue for a large conference. Easy to navigate, and didn't feel crowded even with 15k people at Inbound.

Cavernous, but surprisingly easy to navigate. Numerous food locations inside for quick bites during the day. Close to MBTA and within walking distance of several other sites.

Massive place, I don't really feel like I'm in Boston when I'm here. Parking is brutal, take a Lyft or Silver Line instead. Check out the ski expo!

Enormous convention center with facilities for any event I can imagine. Excellent home for PAX East. The food inside could be a bit better, bit plenty of choices around town make up for that.

Always a great place to have a convention! Either Pax East or a Comic Con

Pax was great and every room was layed out nice, nice big convention center

Good location , close to the airport, thankfully close to a Dunkin . Great convention area.

It's very nice but so gigantic that it's so easy to become lost. Be careful because they also jack up the cost of food and drinks
