Paducah-McCracken Co. Convention & Expo Center — Attraction in Paducah

Every year we end up here for Volleyball. Every year it’s just a bit uncomfortable money wise though. Last year, 20 dollars per person to get in. Making it the most expensive venue by far in the three states that we go to. Most charge 5 dollars. All food was at least triple priced and there was no charity or children’s group it was going to, simply expensive. Now, this is a nice complex and ample everything so, I would consider a bit more but, 40 bucks just to get in and another 40 for a burger….(not talking steak burgers) , fries and drink for two. Not much for a 100 to 130 dollar day because you quickly need water, a snack because, you couldn’t bring ANYTHING in, they made you throw it away at the outside door.

This year, 12 bucks to get in. Awesome and still a few dollars more but, Now have to use an app to pay ONLY again. I had to stop, put my credit card information in the app, which took a minute, as well as the other 500 plus people first thing in the morning trying to get to their kids game in time. I look at my transaction fee this morning and it was 27 dollars for two. They didn’t tell us it was a 3 dollar transaction fee. Not 40 this time but, not what was advertised. We don’t buy food there this year, we brought our own or at those prices could have grub hubbed a 5 course meal.

Overall, great idea for tracking because not only was it only cash last year, it smelled like Marijuana everywhere there. Didn’t get that “got what I paid for” experience and told the kids don’t say anything about the smell. I think it was…better this year, just inconvenient and had...

Go for the quilt show every year and as always....loved it! The center is always clean, staff is always helpful and courteous,despite the pushing,yapping crowds. There is of course the main info center but if you need something,wherever you are, just ask someone with a Convention Center badge and you will get an answer. If not from them, they will find someone who has the answer! Congrats to the center and all employees AND volunteers who always go the extra mile to make your...

Went to my girls volleyball game here. They need to open the doors a little earlier. There was a line wrapped around the front of the building oh yeah and while there at it I dont really think they need to charge $7 a head to get in if they are gonna have as many people there as there was. 8 games going at once and not enough room for people to sit. Think they need to rethink things. They could have charged $3 a head and...
