I almost want to write two separate reviews, with two separate scores, to accurately capture the two separate faces of the Sacramento Convention Center and how they handled our two events so differently. They handled our four-day competition really well. Everything went smooth, and the event came off with very few hitches and excellent support--as far as I could see--from the facility. But the banquet at the end of the competition was a very different story. It seemed as though the Sacramento Convention Center never actually had any intention of hosting the banquet appropriately. Instead of a night of dining and dancing, the event was closed down just minutes after the dinner was complete by employees who refused to name their manager, who they claimed wasnt even present. If you had no intention of hosting our event, you could have been up front about it and we could have taken our business elsewhere. Which I certainly hope my organization will do.

Clean, comfortable, nice theater. Went to see Joe Rogan do stand up comedy here. Long lines to get in , yet the wait time wasnt as long at all! Any Staff who I encountered were courteous and helpful. Sat in the 1st tier, row I, toward the center and the view was pretty good. The seating is sloped enough that even with some pretty tall people in front of me, I was able to see over them. Only complaint was from my husband, who said some of the concession stands were under staffed. We would definitely go to another show here!

I was there for the Educating for Careers Conference 2017. It was extremely organized. The staff was always very helpful and friendly. It was amazing how they fed thousands of people quickly and efficiently. The staff also set up and took down both breakfast and lunch for thousands of guests all within a few hours. The building itself is beautiful and the sculpture inside is intricate.

Visited during the Sac Anime Winter. Great big venue with a lot of room for big crowds. Even in the torrential rain that we had for that weekend there was plenty room. It started getting a little crowded at peak times but still impressive considering some areas were normally supposed to occur outside. There are plenty of parking areas around the convention and easy to walk to.

For the show we did here, the Sacramento Art Festival, it was the best venue we have ever shown at. Close by hotels that dont cost an arm and a leg, and trailer parking on-site. Just dont wonder to far away from your hotel at night, since the local parks is where the homeless live, and they are very aggressive in their pan-handling.

Been to Sacramental Reptile show, SacAnime, Wizard World, ComiCon, etc. Wonderful place with tremendous amounts of space. A little awkward to get to the other floors with their roundabout staircases and such. Also the vendors seem to not rotate that much, but that cant really be helped.

We were there for my daughters Regionals Volleyball tournament. No outside food or drinks inside; water or Gatorade only. Theres a Starbucks inside along with a pizza restaurant. Parking on the street is hard to find. You have to pay for parking in parking structure; cost $20.00 a day.

Ive seen concerts and shows here. Great theatre set up. Its small, and best seats seem to be near stage or first row of 2nd tier. Offer beer and wine but you are not suppose to bring it into the theatre. Lots of places to eat nearby and you can valet park to make it easier.

Ive been to many events here and really enjoy the venue. The main convention floor is very spacious, allowing for some really large events and adjacent community center theatre is good, but in need up some upgrades (bathrooms, acoustics, ada, etc.)

Definitely going again. Its in the heart of Sacramento where there are a lot of good restaurants around, if its a large convention you are attending, go early, park in the parking garage because parking on the street is very limited.

I went to my first Anime con here. Its very clean an theres alot of ground to cover. I met alot of nice people and there were some of my favorite guests visiting for pictures and autographs. Cant wait to go to the next one.

Parking is a problem and expensive. The center is confusing to get around from the meeting rooms to the convention floor. Not many places close by for lunch. Two places inside that serve Italian and sandwiches.

-My friends that travel for work, say Sacramento has a bad reputation because they have to stay at hotels that arent convenient. This is due to the lack of rooms available around the convention center.

Needs food options that arent limited In hours while there is 5000 people there , The only food inside was a pizza place And it was closed by 3:00 with thousands of people still there makes no sense

Cary Brown

A modern, well designed convention center. Starbucks and a pizza shop are on property. Many excellent restaurants are nearby. Expensive nearby parking. Everything is wheelchair accessible.

Huge venue, gives lots of options for every type of convention. A bit confusing for getting to the second floor, but once you get the lay of the land youll find everything quickly here.

Michael Chen

Really cool place, but wish there were a little more signs/guides. My group was wandering around and were super lost the whole time. Everybody inside is super friendly though!

Jessica Cai

I was here for a conference and it was a great venue, clean and with friendly staff. However, the surrounding area has a bit of a homeless problem, especially at night.

Easy to find place. Good AC. Roomy and sound is good in auditoriums. Ive been coming here for the JW assemblies and like its simple non distracting look

Kruttika Apshankar

Its environmental friendly and has good facilities for everyone. The interior decor and painting inside are very informative and related to the region.

Es un lugar agradable donde puedes disfrutar se un buen aventó

Elizabeth Fitzgerald

Spacious with lots of rooms and some food court options inside. Not really a lot of architectural detail, very institutional, but its clean at least.

Marlene Wardell

Great box office people, friendly and very helpful. Wonderful acoustics. The chairs are too narrow for comfort, otherwise Id have given 5 stars.

Decent place to hold a conference, and food served for reception was good. The location is secure through some homeless people were around.
