We went to our first Scuba Show this year and had a great time. Amazing how Long Beach has changed in the last 20-25 years! The show was layed-out well, the staff was helpful, and everything you needed was available (restrooms, food and drinks) My only complaint was as we walked from our hotel, the only sign for the scuba...

We attended the 2013 Scuba Show at the Long Beach Convention Center in downtown Long Beach, right on the waterfront, and we had a great time. The Convention Center is very spacious and well kept up. Facilities are bright and pretty well marked. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. Restrooms were plentiful and very clean. Our particular convention... More

Attended my 3rd Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. Both the Arena and Convention Center were open for business (big business) with lots of vendors, activities, shops and food. It was wonderful to stay indoors and air conditioned on a VERY hot Friday...a great facility...too bad the Ice Dogs aren't around...

Our convention lasted three days! The venue was good! The sound and lighting were never an issue! There were lines at the ladies restrooms but that is the case everywhere. The food vendors didn't seem to be very efficient but they were slammed with lines at every break. The food quality was good but the wait too long. This is... More

The convention center is well thought out, located near a number of restaurants and walking distance to half a dozen good hotels. Parking is $10, a reasonable price given the area, though the "no in-and-out" is a small problem.

I was very impressed with the convention center. I was here for a weeklong conference and the facilities were amazing. The exhibit hall was huge - they were giving out free popcorn at one end! The rooms were a nice size and comfortable to give a presentation in. The facilities were very nice. A nice location, especially if you are... More

This was my second visit to the Long Beach Convention Center and both were to go to the Travel and Adventure show. I thought that the facility could have been better. I was excited to hear one of the speakers, but I was sitting under an air vent and it was so cold that I could not stand it. Several... More

Beautiful view, excellent meeting space. Can walk to numerous restaurants and beach not far. Cafe food in lobby was actually pretty good with healthy choices.

This year I visited LA Travel & Adventure Show at the Long Beach Convention Center for the first time . I liked the set up and the ease of navigating the center and overall I think I liked this show better here than at the bigger brother--LA Convention Center. Very clean and nice facility is located right next to The... More
