This convention centre is far from downtown Toronto where majority of trade show goers are from. It's quite a hike.
I drive but I feel sorry for non-drivers.
There are now two buildings. The halls can accommodate a small office convention to LARGE shows. The service? Meh. I find the staff not enthusiastic to help considering that placement of their show signs are bad. The desk was a snob when I asked for direction.
Parking, however, is plenty and FREE. Hear that Yelpers? Free parking? You can't get that from Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Parking attendants are efficient and helpful.
I don't think that there's cafeteria inside and on shows that I've attended, the food court is composed of few tables, a big desk where food on sale are placed and a single cashier. It's like a "collapsible" food court. I don't have a better word - sorry. Hmm... food court in a box? You get the gist.
So to conclude, if you're a driver... come and be happy. Non-drivers from downtown Toronto, bring lots of water and reading materials... it's a long commute. Bring food.
