Information & Directions

(NOTE: like any driving directions/map you should always do a reality check and make sure the roads still exist, watch out for construction, and follow all traffic safety precautions. This is only to be used as an aid in planning.)

Wilkes Barre Arena
North Eastern PA Civic Arena & Convention Center
 Wachovia Arena (Old First Union Arena) at Casey Plaza
Home of the AHL Wilkes Barre / Scranton Penguins
Highland Park Boulevard, Wilkes-Barre Township, PA 18702

570-970-7600  /  570-819-4990

There are only 2 ways in and out of the arena.  Before the games, there are attendants who tell you where to park and you must park in that exact spot.  After the game, the attendants direct traffic as well.  Getting out of the First Union Arena is a nightmare and can take quite some time.
