One of the worst places to deliver or pickup loads I have ever experienced in my 18 years. Vehicles parked along the wall, which is a drivers front. And more than a few, dont even pull forward as close as they can, to said wall. I detest organizations that dont give a d**n, about making things worse than need be for drivers.

The first time I visited this place was for the 2018 Auto Show this place is humongous I had a very good time and the presentation for the car show was awesome hope to come to another event here very soon

Convention Center is very nice however it is very tricky to navigate and it's very very hard to find a place to meet your Ubers that being said it is convenient to everything however the parking is super atrocious expensive be aware it might be cheaper to stay at your hotel park there and take an Uber

Cool

Public space is very clean and well maintained. The 'guts' of the building could do with a makeover, but its employees only so it makes sense. Very, very few rodents/roaches for it being near Chinatown.

Very nice convention center, its located downtown Philadelphia which mean one has to park in a parking garage or find street parking. The parking at the convection center was $6 per 1/2 hour. If you get in and out the parking won't be too bad but we paid $30 for 3 hrs. The Rock n Roll race had the expo and race packet pick up there. It was well organized and a great space for the expo.

Went twice for the Flower Show. Suggestion. There are lots of chairs at the entrance but NONE at the exit. Folks were sitting after standing and gawking for 2 to 3 hours in the window sills.

Not a good plan. Please put chairs at the exit. There were mothers nursing their babies on the floor and the elderly sitting on the floor.

Please !! Review the exit plan

Convention Center staff brought me toilet paper when my stall was out, and I didn't even know the stall was out. I'm not making this up, I don't know what wizardry they practice, but that's some serious service right there. They keep their bathrooms clean, too. Important at these big conventions.

As convention centers go, I have see better. Exhibit hall feels far from meeting rooms leading to a disjointed feel for a large conference. Staff was nice, food was fine, bathrooms needed more frequent cleaning.

Excellent location for the AnnualFlower Show. Espectacular displays of landscapes and waterfalls, and of course flowers. Could be crowded on weekends. Lots of trade shopping. It is worth the visit.

Great car show. Way to many people. I guess this is what happens at big city events. Nissan had contests for people to win prizes on their knowledge of its cars. I enjoyed the car show! The convention center is huge. It was so crowded, If your party had to seperate for any reason, you would have to use your cell phone to reunite. Only if your party heard their phones.

Went for the auto show.

Very impressed with the abundance of restrooms and their cleanliness.

Plenty of staff to assist with anything. Seemed very well organized and laid out. It was warm inside, dress light and wear comfortable walking shoes.

Food and drinks were pricy. Save your money and go to the Reading Terminal Market right next door.

Wow!

I wish there was more seating in the show area. In past years there were benches in the middle, and they were on the map, but did not see them, so ended up sitting in a corner right under the air conditioner to wait for our ride.

We miss when there were presentations in the hallway rooms, it was always a nice escape from the crowds and a reason to sit down and take a break, now everything is on the show floor and it's noisy (so hard to hear and concentrate on the speaker) and limited seating (I saw people standing around the back of all the presentations). There are also hardly any presentations compared to past years. There used to be a whole day of awesome presentations to go to, now there is hardly anything, and the day we went, there was nothing worth going to (and my mom and I usually like to check out all sorts of different things to learn about from container gardening, honey bees, terrariums, and backyard bugs, to name a few. Even if we aren't going to do it, it's fun to learn about different gardening.)

I will keep this review short since I really don't go here very often but my personal opinion is that I do not like to go to shows in the middle of a city where you end up walking from the PATCO High Speed Line before you even get into the show or whatever you are there for, then you walk all over the floor of the center before walking back to PATCO carrying all kinds of things that you picked up while there or even in the stores on the way back to the train all the while trying to keep an eye on your kids. I prefer the Expo Center in Oaks but even that has its problems.

Lovely

Great infrastructure, close to a lot of businesses. Market and Chinatown close by are worth a visit. Great Internet connection. Cons now. Water fountains provide poor water quality. Security is not good at all. My wife had her tablet stolen. Too many days to get them to look into the video. No will to find it. We knew day, hour and camera to track. Not only that, surroundings has lots of smokers, drug addicts, homeless people, it does not smell good. My experience can be sumarized as a nightmare.

Great venue for large events. The staff is great and it is real close to the regional train line (Jefferson Station). Went it the Philadelphia Auto Show. I ll definitely be back next year and I will be checking out the other events throughout the year. Super easy to get to and many food venues around the area.
