Queens, NY
Here for the challenge of champions competition. The space is pretty big and clean. It’s not the largest convention center and it’s no Javitz.
Notes: looks like they only accept cash here. Parking is tough. Café is expensive!

Have been coming here for the Abilities Expo for several years but never reviewed the Expo Center.
It is centrally located off Route 440. Parking is a bit of a pain, especially with events that are busy. There are several handicap parking spots in front. The space is a huge warehouse. There are bathrooms in the front and in the rear.

If you’ve ever been to a convention center in a city, be sure to lower your expectations when coming here. The NJ Convention & Expo Center claims to be able to accommodate up to 7,500 people, while actually only offering a tenth of that number of parking spaces. If you’re a local attending a weekend event, be sure to arrive early because many parking spaces will already be occupied by trailers or service vehicles. The spaces between the different parking sections is unexpectedly narrow and full of blind spots, so take care when turning and exiting.
Also note that the only convention center in Edison is buried deep within an industrial complex, with sporadic permanent signage that only indicates the general direction of the center – and not where to turn or how to exit. Sunfield Avenue is pretty remote, even for driving. If you’re staying in a nearby hotel for a conference, you’ll need to take a shuttle or drive, as walking is probably out of the question.
The main entrance faces south, towards the Raritan River, so some uncomfortably strong winds are possible in the winter. The main lobby has three ticket booths, a coat check, and perhaps a table selling coffee and pastries. The inside of the convention hall also has at least two in-​house food vendors (at convention center prices, of course).

Super Pet Expo in Edison, NJ– This is just a place you can go and bring your dog. There were way too few vendors. None of the big pet companies participate. I didn’t find all that many rare or unusual pet items. It used to be better when it was an all pets expo, not just predominantly dog like it is now. The only show was the same diving dogs they have every year. A few years ago there was another show with some exotic animals that was better. They need way more vendors since you are paying $ 13 per person just to get in. There were too many household, roofing and kitchen vendors. They shouldn’t even be allowed to participate. Overall, there was not enough to see or do for $ 13. Take your dog to petco and spend the $ 13 buying him or her a toy.

I been here before for the Funk Master Flex car show which was hot. I came here for the Train and toy show hoping to find some HO scale slot cars but I didn’t see any. It still was a good day since I found a locomotive that I wanted for a good price. They seem to have good events there and they keep it clean. Not as big as the Javits Center but big enough for a good size event. I will be back the next time they have something of interest.

Came here for the NJ Comicon last month. A little out of the way, but plenty of parking and a good sized building make it enjoyable. They could have made the entrance instructions a little clearer but no problems otherwise.

I went here on a Sunday afternoon with 4 of my younger cousins for the «Discover the Dinosaurs» show when I noticed that there was a «Toy & Train Convention» there as well. Thanks to groupon I once again purchased discount tickets and even got a couple of freebies thrown in. The dinosaurs exhibit was ummmm okay. To be honest it was really for younger children aged 3 – 9. My cousin were 12, 12, 13 and 6 and even though they had fun, a lot of fun activities they were not allowed to participate in due to their size (bouncy houses, slides etc…)
We did receive free tickets to mine in the prehistoric caves which was really 3 tents set up with no lighting and the kids were allowed to dig for any gems and fossils they found inside the pockets. It was cute because they gave them head lamps which they absolutely adored. But after looking at the handful of animatronic dinosaurs available and mining, they were ready to go. Eventually one of them peeked through the tarp that divided the two exhibits and begged me to take them to the toy and train show. We exited the dinosaur exhibit and went next door to the toy and train show… it was so much fun. Toys I hadn’t seen for years were on display and were for sale. Plenty of collectors items!!! Of course I couldn’t leave without buying each of them a toy. The second show made the day because the dinosaur exhibit was a bit of bust. Overall both shows offered entertainment and fun for what would have otherwise been a lazy Sunday

It’s quite large, but sometimes could use more space. Such was for the recent Super Pet Expo. The staff did a great job keeping people moving as well as keeping the floors clean from sudden pet accidents. The reason for the lower rating is due to the ridiculous parking situation. I never mind walking, but would have liked to have my car in the same town as the convention center. I had to park nearly a mile away. A parking garage would be nice.

My son’s football league held their fun day and awards ceremony here and as far as convention centers go this one was ok. It had a large open space with but the seating was very limited to the amount of people that were in attendance.
Other than that a decent location to host such an event.

Expo center located deep in an industrial park. Went here for the annual abilities expo which typical occurs in the northeast at this location around this time of the year. Parking is challenging when you have so many wheel chair users and they only can use the main entrance and there are no pathways between the different entrance sidewalks, just stones. This means that wheelchair users ride in the cart ways along with the large vehicles. Facility is relative new and in decent shape… plenty of space inside for this event.

Great venue for a convention. Perfect location for the Exxxotica Expo far enough away from anybody who might be offended yet easily accessible from many major roads nearby like the Garden State Parkway, NJ Turnpike, Rte’s 287, 1 & 9.

The event space was good wide open with lots of venders. I will come back to the next event here.
