The prices were reasonable for entrance and parking . There was an interactive wine and cheese pairing class we really enjoyed and Cooking demonstrations for free.

We spent two long days at Tradex for a volleyball tournament (BC Provincials). We were very impressed with this facility. There was a ton of parking outside ($5.00/ day with in and out privileges) with attendants to keep traffic moving. The space inside was large enough to accomodate 19 volleyball courts plus a large eating area. I noticed security staff... More

Every time there's a show here, whether it's the West Coast Women's Show, the Christmas Craft Show, or whatever else, it's always the same contributors and the same stuff. I've quit going because if you've seen one, you've seen it all. More

We went to the yearly RV show and again, loved the way it was easy to make our way around the various displays. Colourful, clean surroundings. Bathrooms are spacious and clean. Food is available too. More

The tradex is out by the Abbotsford Airport. Parking is for a fee. And then there is also price for admittance to whatever show is on as well. The building itself is like a big warehouse, nothing special. The one thing I have to say is that they do not advertise enough to promote their events. More

On the negative, it could be cleaner. It is large and we have gone to many events there from camping/trailering, homeshow to dog shows. There is food on the premises, large washrooms and all the shows have been quite well set up. Parking is fairly expensive but there is lots of it. It doesn't have the hassle of going into... More
