Vast building with good lighting. Huge parking lot with many handicapped parking spaces. Enjoyed the Veterans Expo sponsored by State Senator Katy Muth. This facility is big enough to hold enough almost any event and is easily seen from the main highway.

I was here last Saturday for the Retro Con. Had to wait 2 hours to get in, but the $20 general admission fee was worth it. Found & bought 2 Gi joe figures that I've been looking for plus file cards for other figures. Unfortunately I couldn't stay since I didn't have more money to spend on figures. Will be definitely coming back again next year and will buy advanced tickets so I don't have to wait at the door.

Every event we have been to here is awesome. Lots of parking but can sometimes take a few minutes to find a spot.

Questions & Answers

Do you have any car parking?

Ratan Mondal | Oct 2, 2018
Laura Gruver | Oct 2, 2018

Yes, there is plenty of free parking in the lot which goes all around the expo center.

Are there any nearby hotel/Motels within walking distance as well as eateries?

Cynthia Bryant | Oct 2, 2018
Diane Pace | Oct 2, 2018

I don’t know why so many people answered no, but I live in Oaks and I can tell you definitely that the Hampton Inn and the Hilton are within walking distance, as are several restaurants- P.J. Whelihans, Cheeburger Cheeburger, and Kamita for Asian food. Restaurants that are less than a 5 minute drive on the other side of Egypt Road are Buffalo Wild Wings, Moses Southwest, Oaks Pizzeria, Tropical Island Cafe, Jersey Mike’s and Uno. The people here who posted that nothing is close by and the area is desolate don’t know what they are talking about.

Can you actually buy guns at the gun show. I know dumb question seems to me. This would be my 1st gun show. So I really dont know if u can buy a gun there

Demetrius Jorden | Oct 2, 2019
Bill Kynett | Oct 2, 2019

Licensed gun dealers must, by federal law, run background checks on all buyers -- whether the purchase is made in a store or at a gun show. ... At a gun show in Pennsylvania,many set up connectivity to run the background checks. it's legal for unlicensed dealers to sell rifles and shotguns without conducting a background check
