Pennsylvania Convention Center Authority Reviews

Love the presentation of Auto Show, great experience

Great venue in the middle of all that makes Philly cool

Parking was close and only paid 15 instead of convention center parking. The venue was great. Bathroom where kept clean and stocked. The food was good. I was pleased with this convention center. It had elevators and escalators.

I was here for a convention and it is absolutely massive. From the outside you can t wrap your mind around the size but walk from one end to the other and you are out of breath. Very nice facility and so close to all of the nicest hotels and restaurants. Plus there are so many other things to do in the area and impressive history to see.

I work there and and it's good people and good work

From cars to tattoo conventions they do it up big and very fun every time.

Easy to find, easy to navigate. The traffic around it is ridiculous of course.

Weird lay out and shut down a lot of businesses I loved when I first moved to Philly. It does host some cool events but the staff are always strange that work here.

It's usually a great place to get sick, but got lucky this year. Either no one came to the show with the flu, or i just missed all those people. But the car show was well organized as usual, the lower deck has the Dub show and all new cars fit on the top floor. Super cars as usual are locked and this year for a change, there was a company with movie cars charging $10 a head to sit inside a movie car which is ok. The bathrooms were good, the cafeteria was ok, a bit over priced as usual but parking... urgh... if it weren't for 3 of us going in 1 car, i wouldn't go to the show. $30 for parking. One lot wanted $35 for 3 hours max!! crazy.
The place was warm, it was 27 outside but i guess with all the body heat, carpet and heater, it keeps the place warm. Overall it's clean and i never have a complain when i go to the convention center.

The car show in the Comic-Con are the best it's a family outing it's great

We always see something interesting at the auto show!

My family came here for the second year in a row for Wizard World. The air conditioning here is barely functional. If there is a designated handicap drop off area for wheelchair patrons, we certainly could not find it.

Nice place for expos. Clean and roomy even when busy. Food and drink prices are insane though.

I gave it 5 stars just because if you look at it as keeping tge originality of the building they did a good job. Historic building.

This year's show was a little disappointing. It almost seemed like sections were missing (empty). There We're some interesting demos. The show always involves a lot of walking so shoe selection is important . Still it's a nice day out and you can always check out Reading Market or Chinatown which are close by.

They have some of the best shows here, Car Show, Flower show etc....

Great place to have a conference, convention, and seminar.

Saw the flower show here and it was wonderful. Great facilities!

They have nice events there. But they need to help the homeless that spend nights in the tunnel.

For a convention center, I like that this place is:
-clean.
-staffed well.
-sufficient in bathrooms.
-well marked for directions (because you sometimes have a haul between meetings)
-near good food. (Reading market)
-easily accessible via public transit.
-in a pretty cool city.

Place is great... Plenty of space for the annual car show

Not a very tidy place. In the evening the place becomes a homeless resort

My first visit to the Convention Center for the 2016 Flower Show and I was impressed. I've walked and driven by the outside hundreds of times, but didn't realize what an enormous and beautiful facility this is inside. Large, clean, well-appointed and able to efficiently handle a huge volume of people, it's an excellent venue for a show or convention.

Great convention center, but you have to walk a long way to get from one hall to another...

I was here for "inner engineering with Sadhguru". Great place

I love the car show. I attend every year, its always a great time out. Something to do for the while family.

This large convention center is in close proximity to so many great things to do and see in the city of Philadelphia.

Been to plenty of shows here, from the tattoo convention to the car show to the home show. Big event location with plenty of space for vendors. Food vendors too. Plenty of restrooms, which is important. The location is right in the heart of the city with many places around that are great restaurants, including Reading Terminal. Good location for events.

We went to the Philadelphia Flower Show, which was amazing. There was a parking garage across the street.Quite a few rest rooms and chairs available.Also snack bars and they served alcohol. The show was packed and people brought little children, in strollers and carriages. Got tickets online, saving $6 per ticket.

Pretty easy to navigate and the convention hall is quite large and can fit many vendors.

Clean and close to transportation. Plenty of room for events.

In our family we have a tradition to go to Philadelphia auto show. All our family loves cars.
This year we got a little disappointed.

First thing multiple cars were locked, after we are paying to get in and is an auto show, so people are going to see interiors or to check how comfortable are the seats for how much space you have , you can't do it because they keep the cars locked

Second, BMW and Mercedes were missing

Third, Ford presented pickup truck with MINIMUM options , nothing new, very disappoint

Big place. Not that hard to get to and I'm not a city person. Went during the autoshow and loved it.

Attended the UNCF Mayor's Masked Ball. It was a beautiful event, the food was delicious, the wait staff was professional, and the fund raising portion was very very successful.

Great place to get our Wizard World Comic Con on. Fantastic time. Helpful staff.

This is my 2nd yr going to a Nail Show TOTALLLLLY LOVE IT

Despite the line wrapping completely around the building it didn't take to long to get in. Comicon 2018 was good but I enjoyed last years better.

It's a big convention center, but has all the facilities.

None of the staff knew of a lost and found, otherwise a decent venue

We went for the auto show. Great venue great layout.

Love going to events here. Bit pricey on the food though

State of the art facilities, staff extremely pleasant and helpful

Great flower show and theme. It's always well attended so go very early or go in the evening so you are not constantly jockeying for positions to see the big displays. There are lots of talks free and paid but the best part are the vendors with real garden items like seeds, bulbs, tools and some plants you can't get locally. Spend on the really unique items and leave the cut flowers, paper flowers, and sticky jams be. Most other items you can get online. Take advantage of the celebrity talks and items from Europe that you cannot buy locally. Most importantly enjoy the flower show bring a small notebook to take notes and names of flowers and how you can incorporate a design or part of one in your own space.

The annual car show is a must visit for all car enthusiasts

Attended The Philadelphia Tattoo Convention...Got A Beautiful Crown Tattoo Around My Wrist Then Did 12,049 Steps In This Place!

Great center with lots of dining options and clean bathrooms.

Love going here for the auto show, parking is expensive but available, most certainly feel safe going to and from as well.

Flower show is the event we
Visited The show fabulous. Did the opening event with Beatles tribute band, The Be-tells. It was quite fun.

Up beat, bright and engaging atmosphere, helpful employees. The drawbacks was expensive parking and food venue too pricy.

I only come here for special events, but it's a beautiful place.

The Convention Center was clean, centrally located and easy to access. I was pleasantly surprised.

The main hall (former train shed) is one of the best convention spaces in the country.

It was a pretty nice convention center! I would compare it to the Boston one in terms of how it looks and feels on the inside, but I think it is smaller than the Boston one.

It's a big convention center, with multiple halls separated by streets in downtown Philadelpia, so it takes a moment to get your bearings. Getting from point A to point B may require going outside to cross a street or going up a level to take the skybridge over the street. You'll get used to it. Make sure to take a stroll through Reading Market, which is connected. Food stalls serving food of every size, shape and consistency are not to be nissed!

Had a wonderful time, but everything was so expensive, kinda put a damper on the fun.

The convention center is large. It holds the Philadelphia Flower Show every year. It's near Reading Terminal Market which is a great place to eat. It also has a Dunken Donuts and a Hard Rock cafe.

Flower show
Lots of vendors

Only 3 stars because a lunch consisting of a small cheese sreak, small fries, and bottle of water, $3.00 that my wife and I split. Overpriced.

Every event I've been to at the convention center has been a joy. Staff is always friendly and helpful and bathrooms are pretty spotless.

Had a blast at PAX, but only issue was no help for handicapped individuals at that time

This place is the be all, do all, end all, premier convention center for the Philadelphia area. It has a great location in center city Philly and is easily accessible by mass transit. I have attended several major events here and never been dissapointed. It is also next to the Reading Terminal Market which is worth a visit in itself.
