SMG-Prime Osborn Convention Center Reviews

Went here for my daughter's cheerleader competition.

Neat old building. I like going to the car show every February. To bad the city can't do more with it.

It's a convention center it's big and it had doors. Parking may or may not be a problem for you (I have always found it difficult at this convention center but hey I'm slow). I didn't get mugged and no one ran me over while crossing the street to get there so I guess a 4 out of 5. Seriously though it's big enough for most conventions and it is not run down and dirty. The parking can run you around in one way circles though going in or out so stay off your phone reading this review while looking for parking.

I worked Quiltfest and the staff at the center were quite friendly and helpful

Went to a Eucharistic convention here. A great space. Good amount of parking right next to the venue.

Historical amtrack train station that I remember being in operation when I wad a child. Very cool place!

It was something very special for everyone at the AMWAY convention. The room was quite spacious, and very clean, the floor and the bathrooms.

They have excellent parking attendants that made parking so much easier than you would expect for a crowded busy building. The inside is a bit hard to navigate in a wheelchair but that may have been because the home and garden show had displays everywhere.

Always great parking. Always great food. And always great shopping!

Massive building filled with lots of stuff from the home and patio showand christmas in the south.

Wonderful space to have a convention, lots of room and nice facilities. A nice little piece of Jacksonville history to boot!

i visit once or twice a year - traffic flow easy and logical both in display area and parking lot

4 out of 5 only for the architectural and historical aspects this building represents. As a convention center it's outdated and totally misplaced.

The car show was so nice and I look forward to going every year ! So many beautiful cars. Really exciting!!!

Cars were current year model. Nice to see them all at one time without being hassled.

Great venue for conventions. Not too near local dining however.

Prime Osborn has the flexibility to host anything from quilters one month to dinosaurs for kids the next.

Beautiful building but nothing around it food restaurant ran out of food closest store is a 15 min walk and the area is a bit scary that it is in don't feel safe walking around the area

Its a convention center. It provided ample space for the event I went to. Outside of that, I don't know what other criteria one would use to rate a convention center.

I've been to several car shows, disappointed in this one!

Nice place to hold the ADHA convention, great big lecture rooms.

This is a very nice establishment to host an event. I really enjoyed myself at the previous event held there and no issues with parking either.

I've always had a great experience here going to events such as the Southern Womens Show. It is spacious and clean! Parking isnt too bad either.

The Jacksonville International Auto Show was a lot of fun. Lots of new cars on display. The Mustang exhibit was pretty cool too.

This place is HUGE and I love the historic aspect. Definitely worth checking out.

Good venue for large exhibitions. It's fun that they left some of the historical elements of the building intact.

Running the Donna is such a great family event. The expo if fantastic as well

Another cheer meet done. Good food vendors. The a/c is full force in this building.

Very roomy and organized. Could be better at handicapped access

Prisoners of Christ banquet was excellent, Prime F. Osborn Center host each year, TY.

My son's graduation! I'm still on a cloud. Thank you Lord.

There for Senior Expo. Great facility and helpful staff

College Fair was just ok this year not as many colleges and less free pens or fun college stuff
FAFSA was not that informed about difficult questions thought their should be some one from colleges that could answer Finacial aid questions and admissions questions
Less yeah my college is great and more informed answers
Teens are brought by parents usually unwilling they need to make college more interesting and attainable for both parents and teens they go because they want answers on how to get to college not just to be on a mailing list

Parking was an issue because of construction in the area. But the place itself is a great place to host events for large crowds. Everything was spot on!

Very clean and well kept. But the parking situation for events is terrible.

Their is nothing wrong with the location, building and historical .....its the venues that is held there that's the problem. The Home and Patio Shows was a mess!!

Awesome day of competition at the Prime Osborne Center. Lots of energy and positive fun for families. The staff left a lot to be desired to say the least. If your paying for an event they should be very accommodating and not rude to the coaches, kids, parents and spectators. They were overly rude to everyone. The center is however very nice and I would recommend it.

Huge location with some awful parking and entrance marking. Clean and well kept.

Great representatives from all the schools in our area!! Good luck everyone!! Education is the biggest threat from tyranny!

Actually this place is across from the new Greyhound bus station . So if you have to take the bus and there is a wait you can go to this place waste time. The bus station was clean and well lit.

Nice convention center. Ok parking. Clean restrooms.

Needs a better parking lot and better air conditioning.

Very large location. Years ago, the building was previously a train station. It's us events throughout the year. Place is always kept clean and in good condition.

When there is an event it is a traffic nightmare. This is the venue for big events

My first time there. Went to a job fair, and didn't really look around.
