The Pennsylvania Convention Center is a hotspot for largescale events, professional meetings, seasonal festivities, and cultural attractions. Due to the influx of traffic, finding a decent parking spot can be mayhem. To avoid total chaos, identify affordable and convenient parking ahead of time.
When it comes to stashing your car, Philly parking is notoriously difficult. Luckily, there are a variety of options when it comes to keeping your car safe for a reasonable price. If you are planning an upcoming visit to the convention center, check out our recommendations on Philadelphia Convention Center parking lots and garages:
Parkade on 8th
The Parkade at 8th & Filbert had the distinction of being one of the ugliest and dirtiest buildings in the city for over 50 years. That changed with the space-aged refurb a few years ago. You can’t miss it at night: the place glows. With over 1200 spaces, there’s always an open spot. Location: 801 Filbert St (8th & Filbert). Website.
