My family visited the Southern Christmas Show here on a Monday. Parking is plentiful and overflow is at the Independence Arena and Ovens Auditorium next door. There is a corridor between the buildings with food vendors but the prices are a bit extreme (bottled sodas are $3.50). Bathrooms are a bit far apart and not the cleanest. Wear comfortable shoes since the floors are either concrete or carpet covered concrete. The walkways created between the vendors are quite narrow and unfortunately there are people who dont understand traffic rules and cant stay to the right. The staff is highly visible and are extremely helpful.
Love the Christmas show! We go every year and see many of the same vendors with enough new ones to keep it interesting. Beautifully decorated and displayed.
I love the classic styling of the building. Theres plenty of parking and lots of room for conventions of all types. There are flashier and more modern convention centers in Charlotte but this one is great for convenience and the mostly chill vibe.
We always love visiting the Southern Christmas Show, it is a wonderful way to kick off the holidays. While Im very tolerant of big crowds, they need some kind of guidance that limits the number and type of carts people bring. Too often you get stuck behind someone schlepping two pull behind carts, one on each side, in aisles that are already crammed with people.Still, this is by far worth the trip and time. Highly recommend going especially if you have never been. Dont miss the halls in the back as there are a number of smaller vendors with really neat stuff. And kudos to the Park Expo owners for allowing/selling adult beverages - thats long overdue.
Nice, but more for kids. I stopped by as I was passing thru. If I had small kids I would take them very interesting.
$3.50 for a bottled Coke.You food is exhortably expensiveI guess yall havent figured out that if you make it reasonably priced, folks might actually eat and drink here.You should be ashamed of yourself!
My mom and I came here for the Southern Christmas show. We love it. There bldg/Park Expo is the perfect large size for it.
Its fine, never maintain it or seem to upgrade anything
Went for the gun show and loved how big it was for there to be a lot of venders, not an issue with parking. Good place for events
Easy parking, large venue, clean restrooms. Food is good but a bit pricey.
Would spend some of the expensive entry fee to better guide people to the entrance. Simple signs saying Front with arrow and Back with arrow would help.GPS doesnt always get it right.
I really appreciate the valet parking. We shopped until we dropped at the Southern Christmas Show. We had fun!
This was a great getaway and it was beautiful
Christmas show good as usual, the crowd, food, displays and vendors exceptional. Tee up to the lady staff manning the bathrooms, clean, courteous and helpful!
I was there for the Christmas and had an excellent time. Easy parkng
Really crowded, but its a Christmas event. Great for the experience, but not a lot of food options. Plenty of vendors!
Great events. Easy parking . The parking crew does a outstanding job.
Great place to visit and browse through the wonderful venues and events put on at this facility. I visit 5 times a year and have been happy with the location and staff.
There for the Southern Christmas Show. Cool stuff to look at. It was a little chilly inside the building.
Always fun to go to the Home and Garden Show
I went to Vegfest 2019, and it was good but crowded every booth had line or crowd. Also I get this is about the nutritional value of plants but alot of booth pushed a vegan agenda. There are cooking demos and panels but the are not well advertised. It is only 5 hours long so bring cash, water bottle, and maybe a travel chair
Loved the spring and home garden show
We love all the events hosted here!
Had fun looking at all the coins.
Lots of stuff to look at, but very hot
Well definitely be back soon. Love the amount of options here.
A good place for mass gathering.
Had fun at the camper show
Went for the Christmas show(we go every year). Disappointed at the food choices and prices.
We had a great time
United Ways MLK Call to Service.
Great expo center. Very nice building. They should fire the clown that stocks the soda machines. I have never once been able to get a soda in all my visits. Get a real vending service.
Love going to consignments at this location
Nice place for events with huge crowd
Parking for disabled patrons was too far and no golf cart rides until leaving
The Christmas show is amazing
RV show plenty of room
Plenty of parking! Love the consignment sales at the Park Expo Center!
We try to go to the Christmas show each year!
Ample parking surrounds
They are obviously there to RIP people off. The venue was $25 and parking was another $8. I felt like this was unreasonable and the ad mention nothing about parking. Just a greedy mans scheme to RIP more money from patrons, and I will try my damndest to not come back to this building.
Vape trade expo loved this can’t wait to go again!
Everyone there was awesome.
Great place to visit
Great place for events
Enjoyed the vendors that did attend this event. Disappointed that there were so few vendors.
A lil outdated but clean

They have a free lunch program here in the summer for kids!! Very nice, great security here.
Fun place!
Terrible poor sales manager no wonder there was no people in there, a real jerk, wouldnt give us any prices until they menipilate you in to a sale l would rather know what Im getting into he should be fired for using purre pressure trying give you a guilt complex thats why the parking lot empty SHAME on him!
The Spring and Christmas Shows are my families favorite.
