Pennsylvania Convention Center Authority Reviews

Huge. Not much else to discribe that does it justice.

Was here for car show. (Jan 2018) seems like a nice convention hall.

The Auto Show had most of the cars I was expecting.

Visited the Convention Center for the flower show. Parking was terrible. The Flower Show was disappointing

flower show is amazing every year!! We always come back!

Every time I come here and buy tickets I am stunned by the incompetence! The will call booth also sells tickets so it completely pointless to buy them using will call. The lines form up at each window...PSYCH thenoinenyou are is sharing one open booth. This is astounding.

Very large convention center capable of hosting multiple events at the same time.

Was there for Keystone Comic-Con. The place is clean and so are the restrooms the building is well kept good security.

One of the best venues for trade shows in the country. Extremely clean and very well managed building the is the size of a professional ballpark. Easy access from the regional train line and SEPTA transit. I've been there for the Auto Show, Flower show and other conventions and I'm always amazed how well the shows are managed.

Huge auditoriums, great amenities. Large screens, clear audio. Easy access. I ubered to the convention with ease. Lots of eating options around (open till late night).

This place is amazing to host a conference! The variety of locations, space and opportunity for local eateries was great. The only reason I didn't give give stars is because parking in the area is fairly limited and the garages are quite pricey.

Clean and efficiently run. Handled PAX Unplugged well, two years in a row.

But it would be nice if they could get all of the water fountain working for the next PAX.

Staff was helpful and made every attempt to correct a few issues.

Little difficult to find parking but great staff support

I've been to many events there! The PHS Flower Show this year was awesome! Get tickets online!

Only complaints I have is this place is to big lol you get your steps in around here

Convention in its biggest forms. This place is huge, can be overwhelming, but certainly fits for the job.

Here for a race expo the facility served its purpose.

An awesome place for a large convention. Very accommodating.

So ginormous you won't believe it. Split in the middle by 12th street-- so you have to stay on 2nd floor if you don't want to walk outside and reenter!

Parking is across the street and really expensive, but the place itself is great. Very clean, open space, outside was cold but inside was well heated.

I like the convention center but depending on how you enter it can be confusing. Overall it's a really good space for lots of different conventions.

The homeless congregate beneath the convention center daily. You would think we could do better as a city.

Good facilities...
Good staff...great location

Great facility, but wish there were better food options and more restrooms.

191st Philadelphia Flower Show. A treat for the senses.

Went to event there. Right at train station. No parking facility there

Attended PAX unplugged and we used a ton of the space.

I go to comic con here every year. It's always a good venue with lots of space and access.

We had a wonderful time performing on the Global Beats Stage during the Philadelphia Travel Show.

A very spacious facility covering several city blocks. Prepare to walk a lot if you are attending a conference. Restrooms are old and in need of refurbishment. The food catering was average.

The convention center had so many issues for our STEM Forum Expo. Wi-fit rarely worked, bathrooms weren't attended to, no water provided, and the sessions were spread so far apart that it was hard to arrive to each one in a timely manner. Colleagues and I were frequently approached by homeless people as well.

I only come here for the Philly Auto Show, which keeps declining every year. The crowds get out of hand and the cars keep diminishing. There's a reason they add local car clubs to this event because it's a filler. I've seen kids climbing around the cars, ripping shift knobs and emblems, sticking candy in the interiors and sitting on the hood of cars. No wonder the exotic cars are roped off. And I also don't blame Cadillac for not participating. Security don't do anything. People lack common courtesy when you're trying to look at a car or take a pic. If you're a true gearhead, go to a smaller, local car show.

Went to the Philadelphia Flower Show for the first time. The displays were amazing. I love cactus, orchids and succulents as well as outdoor garden design. This exhibition had plenty of those. It made my heart sing. My husband even said he would like to return in the future and now understood why I was so eager to come all that distance to see plants.

I've been to the Philadelphia Convention Center couple times already they always have different types of events going on my favorite is the auto car shows.

I went here for the car show and it was really fun. The "gourmet popcorn" that they sold didn't taste very good. They gave out bags so it was easier to carry our stuff.

Great service, FIVE BIG BRIGHT STARS that place, you be there!!!

I've never been previously. I must say I was so happy with the experience I had at the 2019 PHS Flower show!

Went to the flower festival, the layout was nice and the vendors had a lot of great things to buy.

It's a convention center. Not much else to say...except it is pretty clean.

Wonderful venue for conference. Excellent location. Safe and protected

Entrance from the train station is direct and very much appreciated. The center is entirely spacious (even when crowded), is impressively large, and I easy to navigate. Stairs, escalators, and even elevators make traveling between sections a breeze. Though, I didn't notice any map (physical or digital), making it possible to get lost of you don't know where you're going/are.

Went to the flower show. Food selection wasn't bad and there are many parking options around.

Went here for rhe tattoo convention. It was amazing.

This convention center is not the best. Despite looking new and being fairly well designed, the staff and surrounding environment leave much to be desired. I saw employees sleeping in public areas, playing games on their phones, in filthy uniforms passing food and bartenders openly soliciting tips during planned events where tips were included. There is an overall lack of work ethic within the staff.

Coming and going to this convention center is downright scary. There are homeless people sheltering around entrances, defacating on sidewalks and doing drugs openly. It doesn't feel safe.

Finally, unions have a stronghold here, making things more complicated and expensive all around.

We went for the flower show. It was awesome!!! Different things around each bend.

Last year the exhibit was better. Overall I had fun.

New addition was pristine but not a great interior design. Too confusing...

This place looks great and it is very pretty inside

beautiful open space that hosts national trade shows and conventions. make sure to pop your head in somtime

This place is always crazy, I went for a the car show but the city needs to do better with the trash and homeless people..

It's a union shop, so if you're an exhibitor, you'll pay out the nose for everything - hundreds of dollars for plugging and unplugging a few electrical cords because you're hiring professional electricians at inflated union wages and paying for 30 minutes on tasks that take about 1 or 2 minutes. To those who plan conventions: keep your vendors/exhibitors happy and more willing to return by selecting non-union venues when there's a choice, as places like this make us less likely to want to return or more likely to choose smaller booth sizes to offset.

Huge venue and always a good time at the Philadelphia Auto Show

I got to see all of the new cars and Wednesday was a good day to go. Not to crowded
