Pennsylvania Convention Center Authority Reviews

Huge inside! Went to the Car Show and literally got tired from walking around all day! Checked my Fit bit & had walked almost 10 miles just inside of the building!

Car show was great..Carfx excibit was A1..detailers r best in NJ

I was at the pre flower show as its being set up. More pictures to come on Saturday when all is done!

The convention center hosted the marathon expo and packet pickup in November. Logistically, it works well as flow in and out is not restricted. Picking up the packet and gear was very quick. There is plenty of space for booths. The space is a little dated and definitely feels like tons of people have been through with worn carpet. Still, it s a pretty huge area and made for an easy event and quick entry and exit if needed.

Good venue but parking way overpriced and will eventually cut attendance.

Great facility and friendly staff. Keystone ComicCon was well run.

Massive layout that s poorly planned causes excessive walking, can t find rooms and ballrooms easily, not enough concessions waited 30 min for water or coffee, no place to sit outside the meeting rooms So everyone sat on floor, not enough bathrooms = long long lines and they are dirty no paper, tiny chairs stacked tighter than tight in meeting rooms touching everyone next to you. Hotels all far away. Bad area. Not my favorite convention center. Needs to be made more pleasant and better signs and maps.

Ran around in the rain trying to find an open door to enter conference.

This convention center hosts special events for the Philadelphia community.

I go every year for the flowershow. It's always clean and well maintained

Light Fair 2019 was a once in a lifetime experience

Great place to have a convention and small or large concert.

Visited for the Auto Show. Love that the Reading Terminal Market is right across the street for breakfast or lunch.

Big convention center good layout enjoyed my time here

I went there for Wizard World and me and my family had a blast

Went to the flower show. It was pretty amazing and fun. Cant wait for the next one.

Huge venue with comfortable meeting spaces. Has a cafe, restaurant and a business centre.

I love going to events there. Haven't wasted time yet.

Well organized. Very helpful staff during the ACG I attended.

Clean and aestheticly pleasing. I would have liked to see more food and beverage options. I had a hard time finding drink vendors and the bathrooms we're a bit lacking in both number and quality.

Huge place, I've been to a few conventions here and I'm always amazed at how much space there is, even when packed with people

The convention hall was fine for the craft show we attended there, but there are no water fountains in the hall, and the concessions were extremely overpriced. (The show didn't have readmittance if you left.)

Super friendly employees. Easy to navigate and clean restrooms.

Great place to go see the new cars for the year.a lot of walking but you will enjoy the experience of seeing the new cars.you can get a CHANCE to sit in some of them to experience what it feels like to be in a car of your choice. If you have children they will love it ALSO.

Flower show wasn't as good in past years. Towards end of the run you can see they don't water anything it seems and from thousands of people touching everything it dies within days. Wasn't that beauty that it had in years past.
I understand about the selling aspect, but very little show anymore.

Extremely confusing layout and numbering of the meeting rooms.
The actual exhibit halls layout is great and are easy to locate.

Went to the Philadelphia Car Show at the PA Convention center. Great venue! Downtown, plenty of public transportation, and many great restaurants near by. Reading Terminal is just next door.

Was here for a conference. Facilities are clean and staff is welcoming.

It was the annual flower show and it is always fabulous. The floral arrangements and the displays are breathtaking to say the least. Wonderful outing

I'm usually only here if there something going on that I like. It's a fine location with lots of space.

The staff was friendly, the facility was beat and clean. It was a great experience

Very clean! Lots of security! Always have a great time at whatever I go here for! I'm usually here 3 times a year, wizard world, college fair and car show!

Attended a convention and the facility was nice but the streets have many homeless sleeping along the building. Centrally located and near many food options.

Needs locations for seniors/disabled to sit and wait on CCT at the main entrance area on 12th East and West sides at Arch St.. even if it's a concrete bench.

Beautiful venue. Went for a tournament with 550 people and it was not crowded AT ALL

We were there for the PAX con. The food is very expensive, but the convention was well organized and fun. I was happy with the security.

It was nice had a good time with the juguetones215 car club

Terrific convention Center. Great location. Many parking options. I've even 'worked' events there and found the accomidations superb.

They were nice about providing a pumping room for nursing mothers.

No matter what's here you are bound to have a good time. Went for Wizard World Comic Con and had a blast.

Philadelphia Flower Show was here. You have to see this at least once.

Overall good experience. My four main problems were 1) inadequate signage, 2) the building is not a square, which means that you will sometimes have to walk very long distances from room to room. 3) the exhibit hall was not quite big enough. 4) consession prices are insane. $4 for a small bottle of water.!?!

this is the place to go in philadelphia for conventions of all types. check out their event website for an upcoming event that may interest you! some cost $, but some are also free to the public

The staff are fantastic, very helpful, and cheerful. Great place for a convention. Reading Terminal across the street and is fabulous for lunch.

Great ACRE show! The carpet was new and the building was warm. Security was on point as always. Restrooms are always clean and well supplied.

I've only been there once, but it's a nice place for big events.

Beautiful Convention Center, well designed with a better feel than some. Close to great local attractions, fabulous shopping, and Reading Terminal Market, another wonder of Philadelphia.

The convention center is a beautiful place. The meeting rooms are a nice size. My only critique is the set up of the chairs. They were very close together, so I felt like I was sitting on top of the person next to me. It was fine in workshops that weren t super packed or ones I went to with my partner. But other workshops were not so good because strangers were basically touching me just by sitting next to me.

Spacious with lots of bathrooms. Staff is very nice and as helpful as they can be with each venue. My issue is the lack of food vendors per the amount of traffic in each event. You are ALWAYS waiting 20 mins either for food or in the line or both.

I've only been to the Pennsylvania Convention Center here in Philadelphia a couple of times and each time it's for the Villain Arts Tattoo Convention, but I always have a blast. The layout of the giant building that takes up a full city block, plus more, is well laid put and engineered. Every time I go everything is clearly marked and labeled to make it easy to navigate, and all the staff is super friendly and accomodating. The tattoo convention itself is so much fun and a really interesting experience to be part of, definately worth checking out as a life experience.

The best thing of this convention center is within the city, easy to access from everywhere

Here for the SWE conference. Was a lovely venue that was clean and had good space for career fair, onstage presentations, dining, and session rooms. Conveniently located and in safe area.

Very convenient for the Flower show. Was a nice stay!

Solid Conv Ctr. No complaints...but the location being directly across the street from the Reading Market is outstanding. Insane amount of food options are just steps away from the center
