Accessibility

The Philadelphia Flower Show is dedicated to providing all of our guests with a safe and enjoyable experience, including those with disabilities and special needs. The Pennsylvania Convention Center is a fully accessible venue from street level, as well as from public transportation channels. Please know that there can be many guests, bright colors, and loud sounds throughout the Show spaces. To minimize these factors, consider a visit during the week in the late afternoon or early evening.

PHS values all of our guests with different types of accommodation needs, and service animals are welcomed and permitted in the Show spaces that are open to the public. The Flower Show welcomes ADA Title III service animals. The Flower Show does not allow pets, emotional support animals, comfort animals, or therapy dogs.

Accessible Parking

There are a number of accessible parking garages and lots near the Convention Center, but note there are no contracted parking spots or areas specific for the Flower Show. Street parking may be available, at the posted hourly rates. Each individual parking garage will post its specific entrance/exit/hourly rates upon arrival.

Entering the PA Convention Center

All Convention Center entrances are accessible from the street level, and elevators are available inside the center.

Mobility Equipment Rentals

Mobility equipment will be available in the Convention Center outside of Hall A/Main Exhibits area. We recommend reserving mobility equipment prior to your visit. Our vendor Lenny’s Mobility will work with you to reserve mobility equipment. Call (215) 925-8099 or reserve online.

If the guest is able to walk to either the mobility equipment stand within the Convention Center, they should first enter the Convention Center through the marked entrances: East Entrance or West Entrance, both located at 12th and Arch Street.

The guest must pass through the security checkpoint and have their ticket scanned. The guest will continue to the mobility stand outside of Hall A/main exhibits area to pick up their reserved equipment, or to secure an onsite rental.

If the guest is not able to walk far, someone in their party can pick up the mobility rental from the equipment stand and drive or roll it outside of the Convention Center to where the person is located. Elevators are located near all the Convention Center entrances to accommodate anyone with a scooter or in a wheelchair.

Navigating the Show

The Show is accessible via wheelchairs, motorized scooters, strollers, and walkers. Flower Show guest map handouts as well as onsite signage will delineate ADA ramps and restroom locations.

Sensory-Friendly Space

The PA Convention Center has a sensory-friendly space to provide our neurodivergent guests and staff with a calming and controlled sensory-focused environment to help regulate emotions, reduce stress, and create a therapeutic experience. The room features soft lighting, various comfortable seating options, and other sensory tools and aids. The room is located on the 100-level in Room 101A and will be available during the run of the Flower Show.
