Pennsylvania Convention Center Authority Reviews

The show was great but crowded. Food was expensive and getting around the city was dufficult due to plenty of construction and road work.

Event was organized and the staff was very informational. The security was rude talking and disrespectful.

Took the train from Lindenwold. Saved us from all the parking hassle..

Good space lights and staff took comments from guests for the following day to improve the sound

The auto show was nice, somebody gave us a free ticket at the gate. We were able to check our coats and bags inside. It's $3 per item, which is kind of expensive. The bag check person was nice. She said that if we stuffed our coats in our bag it we would just pay for the bag, which was nice. The show itself was nice, but I felt like too many of the normal cars were locked that I would have actually wanted to sit in (not just the luxury cars, but normal cars). It's fun to see the tricked out cars downstairs but beware that some of the graphics are not PG, including women representatives from Monster who were signing autographs.

This place is huge! Lots of space to have a show. A bit confusing at times but once you get the overall layout it gets easier to navigate. Small food court for the size of the place but several large venue halls for concerts and feature speakers.

Beautiful displays, however, the exhibit was disjointed and did not flow well at all.

I've been to a comic Con and the flower show the staff and security are great and the venue is amazing go grab some chow at the terminal market and have a great day.

I'm rating it 5 stars because it's one of the best convention centers I've been too,.... when you figure out the seeming maze they've built. It spans some 6 city blocks and takes up to 15 minutes to walk from one edge to another. However, that's also its strength as it is highly versatile and can fit most any need. Overall, the staff was wonderful and the rooms cutting edge for their presentation technology. The art is also amazing. I really enjoyed the convention we had there.

Very spacious. Attended for the AAN conference. The staff were generally nice and helpful. The bathrooms were horrible and not cleaned or maintained.

I attend the Philadelphia car show and wizard world almost every year here. You have your salty spitoon SpongeBob vendor spots every once in a while where people just refuse to service you which means they refuse to make money but I think that's just a staple of convention halls. There's food places outside and around the show floors if your convention isn't too early or too late as well as showroom concession stands which tend to be pricey but that's just a part of the territory I will say they tend to have much lower prices than most halls I've been to in the past so if that's a problem for you it shouldn't be here. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to review a convention center in comparison to reviewing a convention itself so I will just say there's a lot of space and plenty of opportunities to almost never run out of things to do during the duration of the day granted the convention takes advantage of all the space as well as has a lot to do.

Nice facility for hugh international conferences. Next to Chinatown and an interesting market full of tasty dishes and pastries. Many homeless people sleeping around the building and pee on the sidewalk. I did see the city cleaning up the sidewalk.

Great place to visit with family and friends. The convention center always has events going on. This month (February) there's the Philadelphia Auto Show and Tattoo Convention among other events. Is wheelchair accessible, parking lot on site and food conveniently near by.

Super fun car show but it took me awhile to find all the customs but it was worth it at the end

There's nothing wrong with the convention center, but the streets around it feel unsafe and the guys in black who set up and take down rooms could be asked to reserve the foul language for home. I hate sitting outside a session and listening to the loud rude talk. The facility itself is clean and spacious. Security was very polite and efficient.

Very nice hotel with convenient location and lots of amenities.

Very well-situated in downtown Philly, with ample space for big conferences. Love the proximity to Reading Terminal Market. Finding rooms can be a bit confusing, particularly since the center spans multiple city streets and sometimes you have to stay on the second floor to get to rooms on the first floor that are separated by city streets.

Bathrooms are too few and broken, no where to charge a device.

I love it here. My sister and I attend the Comic book conventions here and we had a blast. They have so many other events here as well like the flower show which I hope to attend and the car show just to name a few.

The Philadelphia Auto Show at this place is awesome!

The theme was Flower Power. It reminded me of a time long ago, but didn't really recapture it.

The Convention Center is an amazing facility. Try one of Philly's restaurants before you go in, as food options inside are limited.

Fun experience if you ever are interested in getting tattooed. 1500 artists from all over the world. Great entertainment and location was prime for this type of event.

I love the Philadelphia flower show. It's a wonderful experience, the displays are stunning. There is so much going on between the displays, the vendors, the classes, the competitions. I always leave full of ideas and looking forward to the warmer weather.

This is a huge facility that is well kept and easy to navigate. Even with thousands of people, you can still walk through the center with relative ease.

Exhibited here for a trade show and it went smoothly. Nice venue and clean environment

So nice we go to the auto show every year
Tickets are pricey for adults free for kids 6 and younger

Attended the Pa women's conference and attendance was 12,000 women. Glad they were better about the restrooms this year, last year they didn't open the men's room. Thi year the bathrooms were available. The air conditioning was not as high this year, I dressed anticipating cold as was warm most of the day. Otherwise the facilities were great.

Nothing to complain about except the food prices. Gatorade for $6? No thank you
We were here for the 2019 Flower Show and were impressed as usual.

Difficult to find rooms. I didn't like it for our conference. Always had to ask to find room. Area is also surrounded by people who will approach you for money all the time. The city is overall vibrant but I'd rather have the conference somewhere else in a better convention center

Attended the flower show, had a great time. Also, plenty of bathrooms and they were all very clean.

Accompanied my mother to the flower exhibit there. Wow, what a nice event!

Great exhibition space. Food outrageously over priced. Even the vendors admitted they were embarrassed to charge 6 bucks for a soda. Aramark is greedy beyond words. This after paying for admission.

Best location at Philly if you need a big place for a show

Pa. Flower show it was great place is hugh but running perfectly can't wait till next year

Are you in the mood for a brutalist interpretation of a Iowa corn maze at the center of Philadelphia? The Pennsylvania Convention Center may have what you need at intersection of your strange desires. (But I won't yuck your yum!) Absolutely titanic in its size, the PCC seems suspiciously, if not intentionally, designed to get you lost deep within its bland, homogenious bowels.

Perhaps Philly's precocious sign makers unions were on strike during its construction, which would explain the mysterious absence of any meaningful maps or indications of where in fact you actually are or how to proceed to where you would prefer to be. No matter. I've learned its dark secret, it's all a ploy to get to its food court.

There so in, Aramark leads you into its pricey, yet tasteless web of overpriced concessions. Could you escape into Center City to find a cheaper bite? Definitely! But that would mean braving back out into the wilds with potential to get lost again. The rest of the city outside, taunting you through the complex's wall spanning windows and inoperable (if not legally required) fire doors.

In fact, as I write this review, I still haven't found my way out. Maybe I will get that nine-ish dollar hot dog.

I give it a 5 star because there is so much stuff going on here

Nice, massive, efficient place that's conveniently located near the Reading Terminal Market, Jefferson Square & Chinatown as well.

It's a convention center. Gargantuan space filled with whatever convention is there. At least the bathrooms are easy to find. Well lit. Floors are not super dirty. One of the more pleasant convention centers I have been to. Very near the tourist-trap and philly landmark that is the terminal market.

I was there for the Philly car show and altough it was a bit crowded, there was tons of space and it was a great time.

A great location for large conventions in Philadelphia. The staff was very helpful during our visit.

Went to the car show. It was very busy. I enjoyed how there were multiple rooms & floors depending on the make/model. It was a fun first time experience to share with my teenage son. At 16-17 it s hard to find a common ground with your kids so this allowed for a perfect day. We could share our excitement over certain models & also didn t need to force a conversation.

My first time there, I would go back for another event! The 2018 Auto show!

Great Christmas dinner/toy give away by Jannie Blackwell , she did 100%

Tattoo convention every year... Car show and boat shows...

I love coming to the convention center every year for the auto show! It's large and spacious, so the amount of people attending never bothered me. There are plenty of restrooms conveniently located near each entrance, and the security there was very nice and helpful. Very easy to travel here using SEPTA or PATCO, and within walking distance from the City Hall area. Highly recommend!

Is a huge place, loved it, But driving n parking is horrible

The convention center is fairly easy to navigate with staff positioned at critical points to assist you to find a location. It is compact to the amount of walking required is reasonable, The convention center is formerly a train shed so it has lots of character. It sits on top of Reading Terminal Market so it provides a great opportunity to explore the unique food and treats for lunch, early dinner, or playing hooky from a convention.

Huge Convention Center. Home of the Philadelphia Flower Show every early Spring. Right across the street from the Fabulous Reading Terminal ( go and eat!) Enjoy

Massive and definitely a little hard to navigate. Once you get used to it, it's fine, though. Make sure to check out the room with all the constellations at night!

Had such an awesome time at the auto show! I can't believe how large the convention center is and how well put together everything was
