visitPANovember 2, 2011How many convention centers can be reached directly from a train station & have a first-rate farmer's market as their food court? Add in the fab artwork & you'll see why the PCC has oodles of charm
Jade HenleyMarch 13, 2017I was here on saturday for the flower show. It was my first time and is huge and beautiful. There are a lot of food choices but are expensive. If you park close in a garage, expect to spend a lot.- NBC PhiladelphiaSeptember 20, 2012The Reading Terminal Market is just steps away from the Pennsylvania Convention Center. A variety of shops and eateries; great place to get a bite to eat.
Will ElnickNovember 17, 2012Walk across the street to the farmers market. Anything and everything you could need. Plus bars and seating for breakfast/lunch.
Ron DiPintoJanuary 5, 2012If you are into Chinese food you are in China Town with lots of fine Chinese Restaurants to choose from offering some choice dishes at good prices,,,Enjoy!
Don't worry about looking for a wall socket because the Center is now equipped with cell phone charging stations!
- Did you know there are over 50 pieces of art spread throughout the entire center? Be sure to grab the official art brochure at the Concierge desk on the 2nd floor.
Nan LinAugust 28, 2014Here's the same PACC staff member doing what he does best - cowarding and hiding while showing us his true colors.
Been here for race packet pick ups and the Flower Show. Can be confusing to navigate but great spaces for big events!
Nikki BlakeJanuary 1, 2012The Philadelphia fancy brigades perform here on new years day. A real Philly tradition; great for families!

If you eat in the convention center and not Reading Market, you are being silly. Stop that.
If you park close by, in the garage, be prepared to pay at least $35. Better to park a couple blocks up, in the lots. It's cheaper.

Shannon Miller-LutzSeptember 26, 2011Stay at the Marriott and you don't have to go outside to get to the Conv Ctr!
Lataeya CarrMarch 4, 2014If your going to the flower show this weekend. Don't waste your money on their butterfly exhibit. The butterflies are half dead and there aren't many in there like they advertise.
- Nan LinAugust 28, 2014Watch out for this staff member in the photo. I think he has mental issues. Verbally then physically assaulted me on my visit.
