The Pontchartrain Convention & Civic Center is a beautiful place that hosts a variety of events, including concerts, a library book sale, AKC dog shows, and a glass show. Visitors describe it as a great facility and enjoy their experiences immensely, noting it is clean, very organized, and has helpful staff. Security is available. The center has numerous restrooms to accommodate crowds, which are kept clean. For concessions, there is typically one open stand serving all types of food like hot dogs, fries, and tater tots; lines can be quite long but flow pretty quick, and vending machines are also available. Some visitors find the air conditioning cranked down to freezing and note that bottled water is expensive. A significant concern is that the venue is not overly handicapped friendly, with excruciatingly heavy doors and accessibility challenges, though a ramp is now in place. Overall, it is a place where people have fond memories and plan to return for future events.
Great Experience. My son and his wife gave me a Haven facial and scalp massage gift certificate for Mother's Day. Savannah is kind and great at what she does.

I think most of the locals already know about the convention center. A lot of functions but only for social events. But for many schools they are a great help to the community. It is a great atmosphere. Always environmental controlled. Always having security and it's a good place to go. Plenty of parking. Easy access

This place is really awesome. You can tell it is well managed.
