valley forge convention center

The hall is adequate. They could use more seating in the food court and more options for food. Hate that they only carry coke products.

Attended the 1st concert (Smokey Robinson) at the new VF Casino Music Fair in the convention center. Was well organized and had huge screens to see the details on stage from anywhere in the room. The concert sound system was excellent. The performance was outstanding. The lighting was good. Up and personal with the performers. Thumbs down for temperature of the room and seat comfort. Room was too warm and seats were to small with not enough cushion and smack up against each other. We were like sardines. Concert seats at Harrah's Casino have more cushion and a few inches in between each seat. Worth the suffering though, cause Smokey was soooooooooo good.

Attended several days of convention. The seating was good. The AV people were there and helpful. No problems with the acoustics. Many of the chairs were stained so you needed to look before you sit. The convention center was totally underground so there was no light. You can come up to the casino or hotel level for light but immediately around everything is concrete parking lot. I felt like I was a hot house plant needing light so during lunch break I went out and sat in my car for the sun. This really helped. There were some places to buy food but they were expensive. Bring food with you if you can. If the speakers were good I would go back but would not stay at the hotels there would go for someplace that has some exposure to the sun.

Trolley tour was excellent. Our guide Brianna was very knowledgeable and animated. Joe the trolley driver was a pro. Dan gave our tour of the house & was very friendly and informative. Would definitely recommend!

The floor tiles took me back to my grade school days of the 70's (yes that bad) brown and beige squares. There were also open metal pieces in the floor (a bad fall just waiting to happen). The chairs were old (cloth fabric)spotted and stained. The entire basement is in serious need of renovation!!! Shame

I have been to many trade shows at the Valley Forge Convention Center over the years as an attendee and as an exhibitor. The casino now takes up a huge chunk of the floor space. Its a neat little complex and the hotels are conveniently right there as part of the center

Expensive, but plenty to do. We did the driving tour with CD for $15- was excellent. FYI--for those people who do not like mountains or driving on windy, high roads, you may want to avoid it!

I was in the area for business. I got out of work at 5 and drove over. The gift shop worker helped me out. I got a CD to do my own car tour. He told me to go staight to washingtons house because they close at 6. I drove over and got to see everything. Then I went back to the start of the tour. It should only take 1 hr but I got out at every location, took pictures and walked around. It was 8:30 when I finished. I was over by the church and was able to listen to the bells of the church playing as the sun set. This was a great place even though the vistor center closes at 6 in the summer the grounds are open till dark dont miss out of it.

It's too run down. Too worn out looking. Price to have tour is too high. There were other buildings not in use. Why? Parking awful. Pretty park. Historical park. Pathetic convention center.

The "convention center" is in the basement of a cheesy casino. Although the casino was recently "renovated" the Convention Center looks as though it hasn't had a nickle put into since it was built 50 years ago. The bathrooms were awful.

This is a very nice place to visit if you are looking for some thing very educational & like to spend time outdoors and to walk some trails.

We participated in the Antique Home and Craft Show. Everyone working there went out of their way to be helpful and to make our experience as good as possible.

My husband and I attended the Home Show at the VF Convention Center- My advice is to RUN away from this event. We had hoped to attend to just get some ideas for some remodeling we wanted to do; instead we felt as though we were being held captive in a basement by overly aggressive salespeople. Truly, it was awful and we will NEVER return. Probably 1/4 of the displays were hot tubs. The venue itself is dated and very difficult to find---it's in the basement of the casino-

Me and my husband visited Valley Forge just a day before Veterans day. It was a chilly and windy day, but there were many people. Our first stop was on Theater where you can see a short historic film about the Valley Forge. Then we visited gift shop and museum and we understood that two times per day there is free walking tour with guide. But we did not use it. We went for a walk by ourselves. Is huge park with nice nature and it is very nice for walking. Specially for summer. Maybe in winter it is not the best choice but it is interesting.

Went to a conference and found the rooms just average. You will need your GPS to find things. The food was just average. The service was average.
