Bethel Woods Center for the Arts Reviews

Beautiful grounds. Awesome venue as long as it's not raining.

Beautiful, I live far away but would go more often!

Very friendly atmosphere. Shinedown put on a great show.

Met someone in section 11. Never got your name. Was nice to meet you. If you see this reply, sam

Saw Joe Bonamassa there, excellent concert, Santana and Fogerty are next

We went for the Holiday Market. The property is so well done and the buildings are beautiful. A massive fireplace centered the main room for a true rustic experience. The free hot chocolate topped it off.

Best lawn seats for a music venue. Great grounds with tons of food and vendor selection

Great location, great food/drink, and great staff. What more can you ask for?

AMAZING museum and grounds. All I want to do is come back! Peace, love, and music.

Concert was great just hate when people stand in front of me dancing the entire concert, should go to the walkway or lawn .

Wonderful experience, beautiful facility. Great concert.

Beautiful venue, always a good time but Ticketmaster is pricing a lot of people out

Although it is a very remote place, you can spend a meaningful time. I recommend it. There was also a Hendricks burger.

Beautiful peaceful place to visit. Trails and cafe make it a healthful outing.

Was at Mt Jam Friday, as usual BW was spot on with organization, cleanliness and easy access to food, drink and vendors. Just a fabulous outside venue in the rolling hills of the Catskills. Have been many times, never disappointed.

The show was great but very crowded...if an evacuation was necessary, I think it would be very difficult to complete safely.

Anybody who loves music, especially from the sixties should add this to their bucket list. A heartwarming, educational experience with wonderful visuals.

This is a great venue to see a concert. The surroundings are beautiful. The restroom are kept clean. It has so much history.

Amazing place for concerts my first one was amazing

Amazing venue. Still as clean and well cared for as the day it opened.

Saw Roger Daltrey play the Tommy album, Great show.

Great place.. very educational.. answered many questions I always had. Should check it out, a piece of history.

Excellent venue. Very clean, polite staff. Although they changed their security procedure to get in and had to wait very very longer than normal

Decent music venue in the Bethel Woods grounds..Home of Woodstock and Mysteryland.

Got to see Chris Stapleton there. The only complaint I have is the distance that you have to walk to get up to the amphitheater and then have to wait an hour in line to get in. That actually doesn't have anything to do with the center itself really but it is important to know for anybody who is going to a concert that doesn't pay for VIP parking.

Beautiful venue. Seating is good. Lawn seems to still have a good view as well.

Our first time to a show in the event gallery and......WOW! Amazing place with amazing people/staff. Highly recommend

Always a pleasure to be there! The rules are a little odd, but I dont mind them to much. A great place for people watching and a great place to meet people and have fun

Woodstock 50th anniversary, Santana and the Doobie Brothers. Great venue,museum, we'll organized staff. Great experience.

Awesome venue, drinks are very pricey. Parking isn't terrible if you're not in a rush to leave.

Terrible place to enter and exit.
Management allowing people to direct traffic with absolutely no safety vest at all.
New ruling on ladies hand bags, never explained to the public who were on line.
People told to hide their bags in the bushes until the concert was over.

Very clean and well organized as opposed to 1969 which I was at!

Every time we go, we have a great time. Friendly staff and super clean facility!

Extremely nice venue for a concert, beautiful surroundings, much of the pavilion seating allows for servers to deliver food and beverages and has small flat railing to set drinks and food on. Great acoustics. Free parking. Lots of restrooms and Porta johns. The main drawback is that you have to walk so far from the parking area. I saw a shuttle but I think it only serviced prime parking areas which were already the closest. They could also offer a wider variety of food vendors. It was my first time there and we had a great time.

Great concert venue. Just wish there was an easier way out. You sit in stopped traffic for over an hour trying to leave the parking lot.

I would give it zero stars if I could. Bethel Woods has NO control of their venue. They can not handle the size of the crowd they let in. You have to wait 20 minutes to use a bathroom. There is nothing but drunk and high teenagers everywhere, passed out in the grass. Vomit was all over walkways and marijuana was being smoked everywhere. There are children at these events and Bethel/Police let underage kids get completely out of control. Will never return to a concert here.

Came here in July 2019 for Elvis Costello and Blondie. The show was incredible, of course. The crowd wasn't uptight at all - lots of singing and dancing. Bad weather in the area caused a delay in starting, but that was no problem. It's a gorgeous venue. I could live here. We stayed over in Montgomery, so we had a long - and very scenic - drive. Traffic was a slow crawl on the way out, but it wasn't miserable, we just put on the radio and unwound from the concert. The portable bathrooms were very clean and they had some set up in the parking lot. Mosquito repellant and fans are lifesavers. You are allowed to bring in food and water, but we didn't. Next time we will. The trek from the parking lot took 10 or 15 minutes. The bag check line was fast-moving. Really looking forward to visiting again this year.

Museum is overpriced and doesn't have a lot of artifacts. They do a great job of presenting the culture of the 60s and the history of the concert, and the facility is beautiful, but you can find the same information in half a dozen other places.

On concert days, visitors aren't allowed outside and need to drive to the monument at the end of the road to see the actual field where the concert was held.

Amazing, very grateful this place exists as a non-profit.

This is the best venue to see a concert. Not only is the venue very nice but so are all the people that work there.

Awesome experience! Lots of history and very friendly staff

Absolutely beautiful scenary, wi e festival VIP worth every penny

Great place to see a concert, beautiful grounds and lots of food/drink options. Be prepared for a very long walk from the parking lot to your seat. Staff is friendly and helpful, only problem is the one road out of there after a show, it can take 45 minutes just to exit

Such a great time, nice venue. My only complaints would be the bag policy (if you're searching it anyway, why does it have to be miniature or clear?) And the lack of food options. Some hot vegan/gluten free/etc options would make the experience that much better

Fantastic music Entertainment and history of the greatest Rock concert.

My most favorite venue for concerts. Very Sanitary. The food is reasonably priced and there are flush bathrooms available . I've been there several times.

Beautiful place! extremely organized and great details set in place to keep everyone as aafe as possible. Staff was excellent. Show was great!

The museum is incredible, along with the most pristine grounds. Far exceeding any state park I've been to. With an amazing concert Pavilion.

The concert fantastic
The staff was so helpful and attentive
Had a great time
Thank you

A very cool destination! No matter what age ...you are sure to enjoy the experience!

Really nice people there
Great food

The venue is both historic and scenic. The food isn't too expensive and has a good selection. Enjoyed our time there!

Great concert venue. Clean and beautiful grounds. Staff is friendly and helpful. Can arrive 2 hours prior to event and tailgate. Plan for heavy traffic on exit. We always hang in parking lot after event until traffic clears.

It was a nice experience but I feel like they can add a lot more Christmas lights and decorations. They definitely have the right idea and a nice choice of snacks and drinks.

Step into some Solitude and some memories of a Time Gone by! Relax all right!

Great view. Only one lane to exit venue took over an hour to exit

Great festival atmosphere. We saw Chicago and The Doobies Bros.

Can sit out under the stars and listen to music... awesome

Memories of 1969 Woodstock festival.
What can Riva this?
Love, love and more love.

Love this place great place to see a concert and it's only 30 minutes away for me
