Arriving by Personal or Public Transportation


Amtrak is the most convenient and comfortable way to travel to the Philadelphia Flower Show. You’ll enjoy the convenience of downtown-to-downtown service from major cities throughout the Northeast. You’ll also enjoy the comfort onboard with spacious seating, plenty of leg room, and amenities including dining options, free WiFi, and power outlets at every seat. Amtrak brings you into the heart of Philadelphia, arriving at the 30th Street Station, just 10 minutes away from the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Philadelphia’s Flower Show is Just an Amtrak Away. 

Once you arrive at AMTRAK's 30th Street Station, within the train building you will need to find the SEPTA Regional Rail lines. Look for the eastbound SEPTA trains for Jefferson Station (which is 2 stops away, eastbound). Note that you don’t have to buy a separate regional rail ticket -- just show the conductor your AMTRAK ticket. When you disembark at Jefferson Station, follow signs within the station to enter the Flower Show gates and have your ticket scanned, or to purchase a ticket from the ticket kiosk. You don’t even have to go outside for this trip!

Bikes can be parked outside the Convention Center with sturdy locks.

Use the GoPhillyGo mobile site and Android app for easy, walking, biking, SEPTA, PATCO, DART, and NJ Transit directions from your current location to the Flower Show.
