Went for the flower show and it was totally worth it. They had a variety of beautiful flower arrangements, amazing displays, good food, eclectic shops with anything you could ever want or need for your garden, and a make and take area. The only drawback was that besides the make and take area, where you could make a flower headpiece, a crystal necklace and something else, it was not very kid-friendly. There was barely any interactive displays so the kids couldn t touch anything (and for a 3 & 5 year old this was torture, lol). Other than this factor, it was a beautiful show and highly recommended.

Lots of fun events at the PA Convention Center but a few problems. Parking tends to be really expensive in the area. A lot of the events have gone from being affordable and are now overpriced: this may or may not be the center's fault but they should do everything to keep ticket prices down so that they can get more people in the doors. The concession stands are overpriced (which is typical for concession stands) but the food is really awful. When I was there recently I bought a cheesesteak that was inedible, which is ludicrous in Philadelphia, and then got a pretzel instead (another Philly specialty) which was also really bad.

Beautiful Inside for the car shows and such But TOO MANY Homeless people all around the convention center with their trash and bags and dirt and poop. They harass people and are belligerent. Not humble but vocal, confrontational and arrogant.

Was there for Wizard World 2013 and my experience was nice. Huge Venue with a lot of parking around the center. If you decided to leave the center you will be in great walking distance from most of Philadelphia sites and businesses. The only problem I had was that I was to able to find any food court in the center. But beside that I had a great experience.

Was here for PAX Unplugged and had a great time. I was able to get from 30th Street Station to here in less than 20 minutes via Uber. The show floor was huge and there was an okay food court.

This convention center is about 35,000 sf located at the heart of Center City. About 25 minutes drive from the airport. Love the area because many restaurants (Reading Terminal Market & China Town). They are all walking distance.

Car show is always amazing. Even if you are not looking for a new car there is so much to see.... Oh the futuristic cars are great too. Nice seeing all the cars under one roof and the tricked out cars....ummmm fantastic! If you missed it this year, don't miss it best year. It's just great!

Convention center is nice. We hit the flower show on the first Monday of opening expecting less people than a weekend. There were more. A LOT more. Parking became a nightmare as did traffic.

This is by far one of the best convenient centers I have been too. The place is clean, there are plenty of bathroom that are always well stocked and cleaned. The location is amazing, being close to many food spots as well as the reading terminal market. Will definitely be going again.

I always go to the Philadelphia Flower Show here every year. Finding parking is easy and it's right next to the Reading Market shops. Great spot for shopping and lots of food..delis, doughnuts etc.. Convention Center is really massive so bring your walking shoes. Escalators and elevators. Staff is helpful when you cannot find other events and work hard to get everyone where they're going fast. There are homeless people in the arc way but they do not bother people like in the rest of the city.

I've attended two massive conferences here in Philadelphia. The convention center is massive and has a lot of great amenities. The only issue I had was with finding rooms on the ground level. It took three days to almost know when I should go downstairs (otherwise you have to go back up or go out and cross the road). Still, that was a minor detail and I thoroughly enjoyed both conferences I attended.

A massive complex with great meeting rooms and impressive architecture. An ideal venue for an industry trade show or convention. Very courteous staff and convenient public transportation and local lodging for out of town visitors.

Its a convention center. Not much else to add except the hard core security that was on staff. Not mean, but strict. Even when we asked to walk down a hallway to a different exit to stay warm (about 15 with the wind) we were told NO. Not their fault, it was their job.

The Philadelphia Auto Show was ok. Seen some cool cars in person but it was kind of boring. I was able to see the whole show in an hour and most of the companies didn't bring their top trim level vehicles.

Huge convention center, well-maintained and clean. Came here for the Philly Car Show and it was really nice. Plenty of parking lots in the area, as well as restaurants if you don't want the usual convention center menu of soft pretzels and ice cream.

I come here every year for the Auto Show which is a annual holiday for myself met several people always gets better each year, there really isn't anything wrong I was at the Auto Show this year twice since there really isn't much to do and tickets are very affordable, I look forward to coming back next year
