This swath of Long Beachs newly built Convention Center has yet to be opened to the general public ... alongside the stretch of many beachfront hotels also situated within the same area.A really outstanding locale for visitors alike between the walkways to and from the docks and Piers. Overlooking the waterfront over the promenade leading to where the Queen Mary is harboured. An overall great place when it becomes available to shop and eat. Close to major public transportation by light rail. And easily by car or bus.

Long Beach Convention Center is World Class complex; beautiful modern and exceptionally designed...The area surrounding the center offers so many attractions and fun things to do which makes for a great mix of business and fun at full throttle.Several beautiful 4 and 5 Star Hotels, A gorgeous Marina, a Lighthouse, The Pikes Outlet, downtown shopping galore, The Shoreline Village, so many fine Restaurants, miles of adventurous boardwalks, cool coffee shops, boutiques, ponds, fountains and great views; almost everything within walking and certainly within booking distance.. Much, much more.This is a fun place. The architecture is fun! The grounds, the sidewalks, the various levels, the landscaping; all fun. Very artfully done to please the senses.You will certainly enjoy the Long Beach Convention Center and all it has to offer. I keep going back again and again.Long Beach residents are generally very nice also. They make each visit to Long Beach very special so the Center reflects the spirit of a special place, a very special place!by cmilton111Google Guide3.2018

Everyone is so welcoming and friendly and the staff is trying hard to make us feel great coming hear. Its clean and happy and upscale in the ball park. Its nice to get out here and enjoy the game in person.

This is the biggest convention center Ive ever been in. Everything was super clean, bathrooms were beautiful, there are so many cool sculptures and chairs/tables everywhere. The mark up on the food offered is average for convention center prices.The views from the Convention Center were so gorgeous. I love how there is quick access to many great shopping and dinning options all in walking distance.

I was involved in DTR Discover the Ride event at the IMS International Motorcycle Show this year. Anyone who could ride a bicycle could sign up to ride an electric motorcycle around an indoor track. First you had to ride a power assist bike to prove you could ride. Many riders just wanted to try riding an electric motorcycle and were impressed. Other riders had never ridden a motorcycle. They were the ones with the big smile on there faces when they left the track. Most people walked away feeling good about what they had just accomplished.

I had a blast at the isse show. The convention was set up nicely. I do wish there were more people out to help point you to a booth you cant find. But other than that I was glad. The restrooms were kept clean that was a plus. They had a food and coffee cafe that was awesome. Definitely need to refuel walking around all day. Had a great time.

This place does not even need a Yelp page to know that it is the best ballpark in the MLB (Besides Wrigley and Fenway). Phenomenal atmosphere to watch a ballgame. Go Giants!

I was here for a conference and loved this center. It was extremely spacious and had lots of natural light, but not so large you felt lost. Loved the giant, dome-like windows!Staff were all friendly, it was conveniently located near the Hyatt, and for the most part was very quiet -an a far cry from an earlier conference, where they had construction going on around us!Bonus- many clean bathrooms.

I love it here at the convention center! It really is beautiful with all the lights, water fountains, and right next to the ocean... Ive been to the convention center numerous times for concerts, the circus, and musicals and plays. Its especially beautiful at Christmas time when the decorations light up the entire area and many people come to take pictures during the holidays! Highly recommended!

Enjoying the convention here. Nice place; good signage so its easy to find everything. Lots of places to hang out, either to get away by ones self for bit or gather with a team. Convenient to other attractions and restaurants and the free Passport bus is fantastic to get around downtown and to various hotels.

Ive attended events here on several occasions and the Convention Center is always everything we need. The wide variety of art work adds real character to the place. (Youve got to check out those weird metal fishy thingies!)The meeting rooms are spread out in three different areas, so the first time I attended, I had to look a while to find some rooms.

Lovely and remarkably comfortable for a facility that holds thousands of people. Ample parking at relatively reasonable rates. Everything is ADA compliant. This is a hugh facility on several levels. Be prepared to walk, and walk, and walk some more.A professional staff of union technicians keep shows and exhibitions running smoothly. This solar powered facility easily supports thousands of attendees. Security is top-notch.Parking is located under the building on two levels and is moderately priced.Food service is available at several fast food counters. Prices are high.Best of all, are the chairs, with good lighting to conduct business or exchange moments with friends and/or colleagues. And not be walking.

There are always great events and conventions that take place at this convention center. Fairly easy to find parking and there is shopping and food nearby. theres also close access to the free bus that can take you down to the Aquarium of the Pacific or the Queen Mary. The prices at the convention center are a little high as expected but there is a lot to do downtown that can make a trip to the convention center worth it. I also love seeing the fountain out front at night with all the beautiful lights.

IBO-03828051The ACN International Training Convention at Long Beach California was the most PHENOMENAL and exhilarating business training experience I ever attended.Founded in 1993 and has the highest customer retention rate in the world.I was well taken care of by my business partners from day one.ACN exemplifies the epitome of family and camaraderie.Every Speaker that graced the stage offered monumental keys to success in ACN.They are:FOUNDERS: GREG PROVENZANO, ROBERT STEVANOVSKI, MIKE CUPISZ AND TONY CUPISZ.My life is forever engraved with a deeper vision for approaching my business and goals going forward. Questions that I had not enough awareness to ask were answered at this magical conference.The Sunday Worship Service blew my mind. There are no words humanly available to express how that experience touched me. I have attended many business Conventions for other companies, but ACN is the only one to offer a day to Worship God. God, who makes all things possible for us. Hallelujah!!!Pastor Kevin Boyd engraved our hearts as a true beacon of light from on high, a very timely message to the masses entitled, Release What Was. Totally blessed my heart and soul.The TEAM JESUS - Praise & Worship Team is an anointed team of Worship singers and (Independent Business Owners) who are truly in touch with setting the atmosphere prior to the service. I look forward to becoming a Team Jesus team Member.

Big conventions held here - it will be somewhat cold inside since it’s also used for hockey games. Parking nearby usually runs $15 for the day. Restrooms inside aren’t in the best shape, but given the number of patrons it sees each year it is better than most!

Great place for events! The weather is amazing. The facilities are perfect for large scale conventions. The airbnb options are extremely affordable and withing waking distance. If you have to come to a convention here you can get a flight, Airbnb, and the lyfts to and from airport for $550. That is rock bottom for anything to do with California. I love it.

I came here last year for Midsummer scream and it was amazing and went to it this year and was unforgettable. The only things that bothered me was the restrooms were never kept clean such as there was paper on the floor and the ground was full of urine. If they had the cleaning crew doing there job in the restrooms more it would be a 5 star but for now I would have to keep it a 4.

This is my fourth time visiting this Convention Center and I have never had any problems there. The Center employees have always been so friendly and helpful. Parking has always been very convenient...when they open the doors by the parking structure. Otherwise, one has to walk to the front entrance just off the street. The spaces are large and the do have places to buy food from and an out door sitting area. This time, they had food trucks in their as well.

Review №75

Nice venue in a lot of ways, but beginning to show its age in some others. Recent additions like an outdoor lighted bridge behind one of the buildings are cool, but its also got a bit of an odd layout in a few areas that hurts the flow-- makes it easy to enter on one side, not knowing your event is on the other side, and getting very frustrated!

Review №78

Had an amazing time at my Convention. Sad to say not jazzed about the A/C being completely off in the beginning of August in Long Beach, with no compensation of such (like water that wasnt $4 for 8oz from the vendors). It was almost untenable. It made everyone so irritable the scary characters who dressed up for the Horror con I went to, were being threatened by the people who did not dress up but were just miserable! Not good Convention Center. But the Con was so fun, Im still coming back. If the A/C is off again......well.....well burn that bridge if we come to it.Nice facility. Rooms upstairs for panels, showings and displays. Downstairs also has large rooms for standing in lines and Celebrity photo ops. In the Basement area is the Convention hall, where at my Con, all the vendors were set up. I felt like it was miles of walking.Nice facility. Lots of windows which amplify the Summer Sun-heat.

The elevators in the parking structure are undependable. If you need the elevator instead of the stairs you might find yourself unable to get up the four flights to the convention center. Just something to be aware of before you go. The convention center itself is a beautiful location with many meeting rooms for various activities.

Disney on ice was a really cool show. The center itself not so much. The whole area where I was sitting was shaking and vibrating the whole time I was there. Im sure it was a machine to keep the ice frozen, but made the visit less enjoyable than it should have been. The seats are old and dirty. Good thing theyre not cloth,, theyre vinyl.
