The Baltimore Convention Center

Well it doesn't look quite as big from the exterior, inside. This place is ginormous!

I'm here on a day where there are two big events going on, but you would never know it.

There's plenty of signage, lots of bathrooms, but know that no outside food or drink are allowed on the premises.

Staff is super nice, helpful, patient, and willing to answer all questions...

I had a great time with my experience in the Baltimore Convention Center. It is HUGE. I was with the Gamma Iota Sigma group and during our time, Vidcon was also going on in the building. We would have never known, there was no commingling of groups which was great. The escalators are a nice touch, and the employees were super nice and helpful. The layout is fantastic and very easy to understand, and also the artwork/ships/fountains are cool to look at as well.

The Baltimore Convention Center is a wonderful facility located in the heart of downtown along ample and major bus routes and nearby subway and light rail lines. Buses travel nearby along Pratt Street and Charles Street. Traffic on Charles Street travels one way north while traffic on Pratt Street travels one way east. There are numerous hotels nearby.

Parking: The Sheraton Hotel on South Charles Street lies just adjacent to the rear-side of the convention center and offers public parking. The public parking driveway/ramp is on South Charles Street in the rear of the convention center between the hotel and the center. Parking is expensive $20+. You can save on parking cost by parking outside of the immediate downtown area and taking one of the less expensive modes of transportation (eg. bus $2.00 or free circulators) — and walking (1-5 blocks) to the center. The convention center is in range of on-street parking, but beware of the parking restrictions. Be careful of parking restrictions in surrounding residential parking areas also.

There is a security guard’s booth and ample public parking signage along Charles Street.

Entrances to the Convention Center are on Pratt and Charles Street. There is a dedicated drop-off driveway directly in front of the Pratt Street entrance.

The facility is humongously friendly. Have fun.

Suggestion: In the interior of the building, there should be a dedicated and guarded lane on the perimeter for transporting disabled from one end of the huge facility to the other. Just a thought.

Finally got to go to Baltimore Comic Con met some cool people saw some great cosplays and a lot of amazing artwork this is more catering to Art and Comics than cosplay it seemed at least for Saturday the day I went but had an amazing time

Amazing conference center for both keynotes , expo hall as well as the ability to setup large displays

Great Hotel right by the convention center. Restaurant had a short dinner menu and the Breakfast Buffet was 24.00 an adult and 1 child 12 and under per adult free. Small coffee shop in lobby for breakfast sandwiches, fruit , specialty coffee & juices .Rooms well appointed with beautiful views of gorgeous city architecture ...also M&T stadium and Camden Yards really close by....only missing in the rooms is a microwave....single serve coffee pot & small refrigerator are in room...

Truly historical being next to inner harbor Baltimore. Best meeting hall, cafeteria, nice infrastructure, and everything the best you have public transportation easy parking driving around might be a little crazy though.

Very neat and nice place. Well
Maintained and conveniently located. Hyatt regency and Sheraton hotels have direct connection to the center but be prepared to walk quiet a bit. Good and beverage vendors are limited inside the convention center but there’s more than plenty outside and within a walking distance. Lots of 🚢 all through the building…

I absolutely adored the space because this is where I 1st came to a comic convention. It has now been a decade and the program gets better every year! Anyone creative is going to be here. It doesn't matter if you are a die hard fan of animation or not, you can find someone or something to inspire you. It is extremely spacious inside, Rest areas, Restrooms on every floor, escalators and elevators. Real talk, it doesn't always work the elevators and escalators, so be prepared to walk. There are food stations that are pricey for the amount and quality your receiving but hey, everyone is trying to make that money in the heart of Baltimore. Understand that the city is ALWAYS going to be expensive. Come with a $20 and you'll survive. Staff is extremely accommodating and friendly. Security is pretty tight, so please don't come to cause trouble, you will be removed. Other than that come with a positive attitude and you will have a great time expanding your horizons and meeting creative artists and artisans. Look for us: Art of the Black Lotus LLC

Its HUGE, like Trump's wall. Easy walk to the adjacent Hilton via the sky walk. Clean, safe and lively place for a conference or convention. I come here often for work and have never had a bad experience, staff is friendly and service oriented. The food is amazing and 5 stars. I always enjoy coming here for symposiums and conferences.

Was at the Convention Center during the Baltimore Comic-Con. Had a great time there meeting comic book artists from Marvel, DC and other comic book companies. There was also a big variety of vendors, and even an actor signing autographs at the Unusual Company booth. Several people were dressed is very good cosplay costumes.. The facility was very large and a perfect place to host the event.

Great Avenue for show events.

Only went there for the last Bronycon. But the staff were nice and it was spacious to fit over 10,000 attendees. Comfy places to sit and nice views out windows and on balcony.

Went to the convention center to attend Jurassic Quest! It was epic! My 2 year old son loved it. He wasn't scared of the dinosaurs or anything. We had a great time. But when I say that this experience was EXPENSIVE please believe me! It was ridiculously expensive! Passes helped but not really! Next time I go and I will go again I'll be better prepared.....to turn my son's head in the opposite direction of pricier items hahaha.

I went here for the Natural Products Expo East and the convention center is perfectly setup. It has 3 floors that is will coordinated with all of the vendors and utilizes all of the space without feeling too cramped. Also. They have a great courtyard outside and a couple of hotels connect to the convention as well. Overall one of the better convention centers I have been to.

It's a really nice place, I visited from NY to go to a comic book convention. This place is massive though, didn't even realize another convention was going on. Buses and city line metro can get you there without an issue. It is a big place though, if you are going here and will be walking also - make sure to bring some comfy shoes.

Great venue for Comicon!!
Every year the entry process gets smoother and smoother.
Friendly staff.
There was the cutest woman helping people put on their wrist bands when we got ours. Seems like a silly perk until you look like a child trying to put on your wrist band while holding your phone and pamphlet. LOL!

great place to visit... a huge building with a lot of historical info around the halls ... came for the towman show .. was an absolute blast ... can't wait for next year

This place was a fun place to see Comic Con. It was the same weekend as the Baltimore Running Festival, so there was positive energy in the air and people were friendly. I didn't know there was two sides to the convention center so you have to be careful which side you are entering so that you don't miss your event.

The parking is slim. Though there is convention center parking, because it was so busy, it was full. My advice is to head down early if looking to park for an event. Also be willing to park in the other parking venues that are available.

The bathrooms were clean and in good working order.

Had a Great Time at this Awesome Place . American Towman Exposition my Husband is a Heavy Tow truck Driver, We Decided to do our Honeymoon this weekend at the Tow Show ,Can't Wait Till next year Turner's Towing!!!
