California Center for the Arts, Escondido Reviews

It's actually my place of employment and I love it.

Beautiful theaters, museum and conference center. Conference Center staff helpful and friendly

Great place to watch San Elijo Dance and Music Academy's production of the Nutcracker.

Great park and town center. As well as a great theatre for a concert or show.

It's a magical spot. Really enjoyed the music, the food and the camaraderie!

Saw an amazing Spin Doctors show last night. The sound was wonderful.

It was very interesting learning about these paintings

Best concert with Lila Downs we were dancing all night

Dont take your dog here, security is not pet friendly. Black security guard and his manager has issues with dogs around the premises, BUT doesnt have issues with homeless people sleeping around the area and also kids bike riding, skateboarding around the buildings. Very inconsistent regarding rules. These 2 security guards couldnt make it in the police force so they became security and now think they own the world.

BE WARNED, many of the seats, including all the boxes, have very poor views of the stage. The balconies are strangely curved which means that you need to sit in the middle of the rows to be able to see. Also don't sit in the first row of the balconies as the large metal railing will obscure your view since it basically sits at eye level. This is also the big problem with the boxes! Imagine buying box seats and not being able to see because of a f**king great big metal bar! Pleasant venue in terms of appointment and appearance, great free parking.

We seen shen yun here the people that work here are really rude the usher Male talk short dark hair grab my wife's arm and pulled her back from taking her seat after it took her 25 minutes to use the bathroom do to really long lines I paid 440$ to see this play and will never go back

Well maintained. Geeod seating arrangements. Good acoustics

Great center for music shows, good pricing, bars, nice grounds.

The center is a great place to enjoy many wonderful events of amazing variety! Venue is comfortable and provides good viewing at all areas.

One of the best venues in San Diego County for a seated audience. Definitely the best in North County San Diego. Seems to be capable of handling a small - medium symphony orchestra.

A well-designed theater with large spaces where lighting allowed you to enjoy the spectacle and almost differentiate acoustic instruments. Ballet and orchestra of the SHEN YUN were formidable. Thanks Cd. Of Escondido, Ca. By giving me right now.

It's a beautiful theatre for sure, but the seating are very uncomfortable and they are not stadium seats so shorty me gets blocked easily, even if I have the best seats in the house.

great theaters, with good acoustics at least for small groups. Either theater is a treat.

Great venue to watch the Russian ballet.
Or anything for that matter.

The venue is beautiful. My wife and I and a few of our friends went to see Shen Yun on Saturday, 2/21/2015. The venue was so stuffy and warm.

The orchestra was amazing. BUT, please read this about Shen Yun. The bright colors were nice, the flexibility of the dancers was impressive. We left at the intermission though because of the politic undertones of the show. I am not surprised that the show is prohibited in China. I am a white American female and I was uncomfortable with it. I thought it would be similar to Cirque du Soleil and I was very disappointed with the show. Way overpriced! Also, the backdrops were cheesy. I would NOT recommend Shen Yun but I will give the Center for the Arts another try.

Saw does stand-up comedy and improv group it was a great way to spend two hours on New years Eve

The wedding was beautiful and perfect but they told us to leave our things in a "secured room" and all of my cash was stolen. I lost over a couple hundred dollars and they did nothing to help us. They need to hire more trustworthy people.

Very Central, and great place in California for the arts

Usualy fun events happen here. Sometimes great bands perform here too.

So many nice events throughout the year to participate in or attend. The grounds are neat and clean. The WOW Wednesday free concert series are going on now. Enjoy a free concert the first Wednesday of each month at 4:00 p.m. or 7:00 p.m. Now through Spring 2017!

We really enjoyed the show and the staff was pleasant if not a a bit confused at times.our only real complaint was that it was dark on several of the walk ways

A fine facility with top notch performers and reasonable prices.

We have enjoyed Christmas by Candlelight for over 5 years. Each year we are overjoyed at the Christmas carols they actually perform (especially LoneStar). Problem is the "filler" performances are not enjoyable nor respectful to Christmas at all. They can be downright crude.

For Escondido, I'm impressed. I visited here on the Day of the Dead and it was really a great event. I especially liked the photography exhibits.

It is really amazing to have our Center for the Arts, very talented performers and the organization is perfect. Congratulations to all the staff and volunteers.

The center for the arts is a treasure!love attending events there!

The venue is elegant & just the right size, not too big & not too small either.

I was surprised that I didn't know about this facility before. The day I was there I saw three amazing shows all very impressive including some outstanding student artwork as well. I highly recommend it and, in the spirit of Michelin, it's worth a journey.

We went to the performance of Dancing With The Stars - Live! Great venue, seats were comfortable. Good free parking lot, well lighted and ease of exit/entrance.

Only issue was the bathroom locations, need them on every level. The intermission was crazy trying to get in to use them.

Highly recommend the venue.

Perfect venue for my daughter s cotillion celebration(18th birthday)

Sang with the Escondido Center Chorale in the West Coast Premiere of a new choral piece called "A Time to Dance" with orchestra and dancers: truly a thrill.

Great place to see a concert. comfy seats, good acoustics

A beautiful venue featuring a variety of highly talented musical artists.

Me. Love East. Place. For. Events Specials Very. Beautiful

Great place for arts and wntertainment. Friendly staff

Great theater and large beautiful campus. Parking is slightly confusing and signs to get you where you want to go are lacking. A far better option than downtown though!

It always is a beautiful experience, from the time come to the ticket window, which I prefer to see a person, to the entrance to the theater the personal touch is very welcoming and warm. The arts is an enrichment to our well being.

Jazz band and food trucks there tonight, really enjoyed both!
