McCormick Place Rooftop Garden Review

It's a convention center. Was fine for what it was.

Havent been in a while, but it is always buzzing with visitors.

Huge building. Perfect for conventions. C2E2 is fantastic.

Saw A concert, excellent, people were that worked there very helpful and friendly

This year 2020 no BMW and Mini cooper. Little disappointed...

Great and so big place! I been here many times for the IMTS annual show, its just amazing

It was OK, I think Denver Colorado Convention Center is better

Used to take the bus or walk here with my family over 40 years ago with my Mom and siblings. Remember when there was only the Lakeside Building; McCormick Hotel and Donnelley Hall. Attended the last CES in the Lakeside building with my children and worked on these properties for over 29 years!

Love coming here for all the different conventions that our great city has to offer.
We came for the annual Chicago Auto Show. We try to make it a family annual outing to see the new car and concept cars that the big manufacturers have to offer... and the little one loves to jump in and out of the different cars as well.
The place is massive and you can tell why the show is held here every year. With all the square footage that the center has and all the massive car manufacturers displays that are put up, you don't feel like it's crammed. There are tons of places to move around.

This year, I loved the Subaru display that included the dogs that were up for adoption. We waited in line for a little while in order to get into the area that the dogs were in and the daughter had a grand time playing with the little puppies available for adoption.

Looking forward to the other things that are scheduled for this year... like Comic Con and other things that come up throughout the year.

This place is huge. Make sure you know where your event is.

Always have a great time at the Autoshow with 5he family!

Been there for dental conference.
Nice facility.

I was here for the auto show. It's a good sized facility that was easy to navigate. I didn't try any food though.

Too often the convention center is the only place people see of a city. That would be a shame in Chicago.

My parents took me here as a child and it has had several renovations and expansions. The place is functional but lacks personality. Roads are difficult to navigate too.

Restrooms haven't been updated in decades. Not nearly enough coffee options

This place is a joke. Signs are confusing and wrong and it's crazy spread out with confusing levels. Signs everywhere pointing to food, but everything is closed. How can they have the Starbucks closed during a convention of teachers?! Bathrooms are also ridiculously spread out, poorly marked, and difficult to find with current signs.

Probably the biggest and best convention center I've had the pleasure of attending

I lost track of where my car was. ! The parking garage staff was awesome. ! I had three kids with me. Little kids. OMG! They helped me find my car within 20 minutes. They really saved me.

I cannot count the number of conferences Ive attended here at McCormic place. Overall good facilities, but then again... the draw is the convention itself.

Always clean and well maintained. Lots of walking though from parking lot to whatever event they are having and then throughout event. Prices can be steep depending on the venue. Food also.

This is a very large convention center adjacent to Lake Michigan. It is easily accessible by train, cab or car. It is not very close to the Loop or downtown Chicago. The Hyatt & Marriott Marquis are adjacent hotel that conveniently connect via covered walkways.

Great convention. A little long walking but spacious. Walking sidewalks would be helpful

It was a great place and the staff very helpful and nice but most the food court was closed

Was there for the Lions convention. The center is huge and well maintained.

Cool place to hold an event but an ok place to work

Chicago's main exhibition center, probably the most popular in the Midwest Auto Show

Beautiful facility and massive in its size and scope. Great location in a bustling downtown Chicago. Metra train station in the basement near the main entrance. The train took us to the basement of our hotel. Check the Metra schedule ahead of time. Clean facility inside. Lots of security around inside and out.

airy, spacious, have to rely on local transportation (taxi$) unless you are staying on site

This place is huge! Will be back in 2020 for IMTS again!

This is a great place to host or attend a convention, or trade show. There are ample meeting rooms, and lots of floor space for exhibits.

One of the best places in Chicago for hosting conventions of various kinds concerts and more the only downside is if you're going in there and you're coming in a car $23 to park that's insane

My friends and I just attend a beauty show event and the security stuff is really mean and rude....so bad....

Always fun to come here for the Chicago Auto Show. Very nice convention center that's always very clean and well run.

I visit this place once a year for the Chicago marathon packet pick up. Be prepared to walk a lot. This place is huge. There is easy access to the lakefront path on the east side of McCormick Place.

Convenient Center at its greatest. If you enter through Gate4 you will be near the information desk and coat check areas. Access to the Metra station is inside the building while CTA bus #3 King Drive and the Cermak bus stop is near gate 3. The employees are helpful, great restaurants and hotel experience.

Come here every year for C2E2 and it's always awesome.

Wow what a facility. We attend the National Restaurant Show every year, never disappoints

Great location to downtown events and the Chicago River Walk. Also, great restaurants located near this hotel within walking distance. Parking is about $45 per day, but they can accommodate you better if you will be leaving and returning regularly. Front desk staff were kind. I do not suggest the restaurant in the hotel. You can get much better food for less of a cost in an area restaurant.

Lots to see, we have a lot fun. Good auto Show this year.

Well planned convention center. Food options don't meet what you would expect for Chicago

What a center! Been to several shows here and is always amazing how big it is. Biggest complaint is the food and parking. Food, I am not sure if it is handled by the show or the center but it is always overpriced and there is never a good place to sit. Parking, I hate the ticket machines as they give me problems reading my card.

Always a good experience at McCormick Place for a trade show.

Plenty to offer and plenty of space to offer it in.

Huge! Visited few events! Once you get familiar with the layout its easy.

Came for C2E2 and will say the facility is nice and clean. Getting there is a bit of a hassle. This is mainly do to traffic and layout. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Will attend other events

Huge convention centre with all kinds of facilities, superbly designed, meticulously maintained

I took a special need person and the people had patience with him. That made his day when he was allowed to get in the cars and pretend

Go here yearly for the Chicago Auto Show, never have been let down

Huge convention venue. Iconic to downtown Chicago. Something going here nearly every week. Several restaurants in convenience shopping on site. Restaurants are expensive and just average. Not particularly handicapped friendly.
