Plano Event Center — Attraction in Plano

if you are scheduled here for your Oath Ceremony for Naturalization - Congratulations fellow American!

there are no signs to direct you where to go, but there are two entrances. One will have a makeshift photo location with garden sized American flags in the grass and some red white blue table decoration thrown on a bush. The other entrance will have nothing.

Typically there are three ceremonies a day, morning will have over one thousand people, late morning just over half, finally afternoon with over 500 as the Ceremony takes place about once a month. Depending on which you're scheduled will determine if there is room for guests or not. Speaking of guests...

Small children will be bored and will cry and scream during the twenty minute or so Ceremony, the longest part is getting everyone checked in and funneled into the event center. Overall expect two to three hours, it's best not to bring small children - like this comment or not, they will be bored and won't understand what's going on. For some, this is a very special and emotional day - please respect it.

Don't forget to register to vote - you've earned it. Again, welcome...

We went here for my husband’s oath ceremony on today & it was definitely an experience. There were two very long lines that wrapped around both sides of building. When we reached the front of one line, we were told that this line was for applicants only and the other line was for family members. This resulted in family members leaving one line to wait in the other extremely long line. There should be signs posted to direct people so they are not spending 1+ hours in line to enter the building. After entering, we were told that the projector systems are not working in the family viewing rooms at all. The sound system only worked for the end of the ceremony. I was highly disappointed, as well as other family members. The most moving part of this entire experience was seeing my husband’s smile after he came outside. The rest of the “ceremony” was nothing that I want to brag about or remember, which is unfortunate since it should be memorable. The entire ceremony was about 15 minutes for a 1+ hours wait...

We attempted to attend the Back To School PISD Event, sat in line in the car for over an hour, only to pull up to the parking and have everything blocked off. There was no one guiding people trying to attend the Event, only those exiting so if you were on the southbound side of the street after sitting in a long line, you were expected to make a U-turn and cut off the other line going North on the college side. There was no one guiding us so a lot of people frustrated and drove off. I had my handicap sticker ready and waiting and no one helped us. Not only were we pushed to continue down Jupiter but we didn’t even get to attend this event because of how traffic kept us going South with half the u-turns blocked off…. This event was no help to my autistic children. It was a disaster and I am in tears because we really needed our supplies. Please have inclusive events for ALL PISD students. This...
