SMG-Prime Osborn Convention Center Review

Large event space with multiple rooms for conventions. One of the largest Convention Centers in the US, it was historically known as the Jacksonville Train Station before it became a convention center.

Because of the space the Southern women's show is here. I have went every year and it's so clean.

This is a beautiful building and it should have remained a beautiful train station as it was originally

Large convention center. My family loved the old train memorabilia from when it used to be an old train station.

Boring facility... Lacking in clean bathrooms, no coffee and just outdated.

Very clean and well kept. Would like to have more opportunities to have like a behind the scenes tour.

We visited for the southern womens show and it was a pleasant experience. There have been some great exhibits at the show. This year was kind of bland. We regularly visit the convention center for different events and the center is clean and nicely maintained.

I had a great time at the auto show. My second time coming to this event.

Awesome venue, love the old historic railroad fare.

I love going to all the different events here. A great architectural beauty. We live in Mandarin and it is so convenient to get to within 20 minutes.

It's seen it's prime, an older structure that stll feeds a need for conventions and simular events.

This place need remodeling and updating. The small refreshment area is a joke. Jax is growing...so should the convention center. Create a reason to look forward attending events there.

This place needs a little more air conditioning but overall it was fine

Attended the annual Auto Show.Plenty to see without the usual sales pressure.
Lots of helpful and friendly people to give advice and information if needed. But it is a great historic building to see even if there is no event running.

This place is huge but the food they sell is inedible do not buy here

The place itself was nice, clean and had a nice A/C.

Home and patio show, alot of companies with selling in mind, if you are looking to improve your home it is the place to be

I did not like much because of the very narrow entrance and exit

An excellent venue for events. We have been here for a myriad of events from Prom to the Jacksonville Car Show. There is plenty of room for whatever you need. It is comciently located to the interstate and right next to the downtown train station to facilitate movement through out the city.

Our annual trip to Christmas made in the South at the Prime Osborne Center, great time.

Parking is a nightmare. All food and drinks inside are far too expensive. Restrooms dirty.

Convention center was nice and had plenty of room for the event. My only complaint would be the concession stands and the prices of the food. It was a bit ridiculous to charge $4 for a bottle of water. All the employees were nice and helpful.

They have a health fair ever year it's a wonderful experience

Due to construction across the street, parking was difficult and crossing the street was unsafe as no immediate crosswalks were available.

Easy to visit and walk around. Good food and plenty of places to sit and rest during the auto show. It was nice that the show was broken up into several rooms so it wasn't crowded or overwhelming like so many other auto shows.

We went to the Jurassic Quest dinosaur exhibit here. It is a GREAT learning experience for both childern and adults. We had a great time. My son loved it. Early or late is the best time to visit the dino exhibit. It is really busy otherwise.

Went there for the home and garden show. Love that they made it out of a railroad station.

Represented Rise chiropractic & Acupuncture at the home and garden event, it was great.

Good venue for events. Live the old train station feel.

Beautiful, especially old train station. Clean bathrooms and easy to get to, parking is great.

I've been there multiple times. I love the atmosphere and there is plenty of parking

The car show is where dreams are made of. Easy to get to, lots of parking. I will check out other events there now.

Was told that we could not bring in our child's lunch even though he has a food allergy. What they have their to eat is not fit for human consumption and is ridiculously priced.

Plenty events can be held there staff is amazing I would recommend this spot to anyone

Nothing but men showing their brut domination over these animals or else! Animals don't act like this, they are scared to death. Too bad the center hosts "circuses". I thought circuses were becoming obsolete, I truly hope so.

We went to see the Jacksonville Symphony. It was a lovely concert. We did valet parking so we didn't have to deal with the parking situation. The inside was beautiful and the acoustics was awesome.

This facility needs more events, and it definitely needs to be used for allot more of Jacksonville's activities....

Love this place. Very large , you can get lost up in there when they have events. A great place for them also

Was here for the Jacksonville Auto show. Had a great time and the facility was spotless!

Went to Christmas made in the South and really enjoyed myself. It was setup really nice and it was obvious a lot of thought went into the layout. The vendors were very professional and friendly.

School expo, the parking attendants did well handling parking, building is big.

Came here for a bride to be expo, for a soon to be family member. Huge open space to hold events.

If the event is popular arrive early for better parking or prepare to spend 20-30 minutes on a parking adventure.

Nice facility, need to work on the parking situation. As much as SMG charges to park on a dirt lot, and cross the road in construction without police escort or saftey,they could build a parking garage I would gladly pay $5-10 to park in and a sky bridge to go across Bay street.

Went to the Bridal Show. It was extremely crowded which spoiled the afternoon.
