California Center for the Arts, Escondido Reviews

Saw Styx concert here, what a wonderful venue! Everything about it was great, especially the senior staff of ladies and gentlemen who were so cute and helpful. And FREE parking! Would definitely return.

Saw the Watercolor Art Exceptional wish I had a few Thousand dollars to buy some

Great place to go if you just want to go the park. Or if any events are going on in the theater

Parking was easy, the performance venue was small and intimate so enjoyed the show. Restaurants across the street. Will definitely go back.

Attended World of Frida exhibit, it was wonderful! They had art work portrayed from a local school, love seeing how they expressed themselves.

The love of the Arts is alive and well at CCPA! Enjoyed a wonderful performance (pianos) by the Gliadkovsky family. Wonderful and amazing talents!!

No air conditioning on during the concert, but I liked the layout.

The theatre seems small but inside is generous with plenty of apace between aisles. The acoustics were phenomenal at Swan Lake ballet but I can't speak for a love orchestra. This theatre is great and so much closer than going all the way down to SD. Also, all staff was super helpful with my lost ticket and my arriving late and just my general ineptitude. So expect a good experience, and please try to dress up a bit, the performers see it as a sign of respect, skip the blue jeans just for tonight.

I had fun with my friend and Amy Grant was awesome.

Had the worst time! Its was so hot, I was sweating! Went to see Shen Yun, very disappointing!

This theatre is beautiful. I have both performed in it and seen shoes in it and truly love it. I also like all the dining in the area.

Great list of events and Friday evening concerts, bands and Food Truck events. It has something for everyone

A wonderful place for intimate shows. They also support the community theater and shows.

Beautiful venue for performing artists. Picturesque grounds, lots of free parking, comfortable seating with a clear view of the stage from every seat, spacious lobby for the audience to move about, a wine bar - a nearly perfect theatrical theater. However, it does not have WiFi for public access (ideally free) which is needed for those events which only provide their program online. 4.5 stars.

An excellent exhibit of Manzanar internment camp through the lens of Ansel Adams with an additional exhibit by Wendy Maruyama. It's so hard to believe this happened to Americans. We need to remember how easy it is to be so frightened that we will behave with extreme cruelty to others who have done nothing to deserve such treatment.

Went to see Jesse cook, absolutely fabulous! Unbelievable venue!

Beautiful venue. You can even buy cocktails for your show so ++++++

Beautiful setting for beautiful music and other exciting performances.

Good views from almost every seat; good variety of performers throughout the year.

Seen some great shows there. Got tickets to DWTS , coming in March.

Loved the Carols by Candlelight. Lovely theatre. Just wish they would get the beverage area moving faster and rethink the astronomical prices. The beverage costs are not in line with other theatres we've been to anywhere!

Attended a Middle school spring concert. Very nice venue.

I enjoyed a Concert put on by the HVCC who make it possible to enjoy music at a really great price.

Beautiful ARCHITECTURE and incredible shows exhibitions and concerts.

A nice location with a big parking lot. Have been here for a few concerts and shows and have enjoyed them. However, the seating in this venue is somewhat strange, especially the balcony. The lobby and waiting areas could use a good cleaning, the carpets are stained and dirty.

Amazing time seeing shen yun..seats comfortable venue beautiful

Carols by Candlelight is outstanding. Everyone should go every year!!!! Thank you Steve Vaus!!!

Totally an awesome day for celebrating the 4th of July celebration

Conference Center: very comfortable, ample room, good lighting, good sound.

Nice place to go and enjoy the scenery and take beautiful photos. I've also gone to the ballet and symphony there. Watch out for the new security guard he's very territorial! If not for him 5 stars!

One of the best places in the North County for the arts and the appreciation thereof. Season tics are fairly reasonable, and the Center hosts all kinds of events, including music, dance, comedy, and live theater.

I came here with my family for Cultura Fest 2019. The venue is pretty and all, but we didn't like how all of the vendors were spread throughout the different buildings; some were inside, others outside, a few were shoved in awkward corners, and more upstairs. The feeling of togetherness wasn't there. It was still fun, though.

Though I came in on a private exhibition showcase, the museum is very spacious leaving lots of room to roam and look at various kinds of artworks scattered about the facility.

The acoustics are wonderful and the stage is fully visible, even from the balcony. However, I found the balcony seats - while affordable - were very steep and a bit scary getting to the seat. Temperatures remained comfortable throughout the show. Very easy to find the venue and parking is free.

Beautiful building. Sound was great. Elevator for handicapped.

Wonderful venues
Children program's
Museum ( Grand. Experience)
A plus Catering,
Friendly Staff
Free Wednesday programs
Movies during the Summer
Antique Buildings in the Grae Day Park
Something for everyone

Great acoustics, good seating and stage views from all points. Easy parking. Good bathrooms. First Wednesdays are a bonus. They do a variety of performances. Worth checking out the website to see who will be there. Attract big and small acts.

Great location for a seminar. Lunch was pretty good!

My husband and I attended a performance of Dancing With The Stars - Live! We loved the venue!

Lots of parking, lighted pathways, usher and security staff very helpful. Seating is very comfortable and viewing the stage is unobstructed, although we did have Orchestra center VIP seats. They have fully stocked bars, pouring premium spirits. You can purchase a sealed glass/container that is permitted to be taken to your seats.

The only negative comment would be location of restrooms, they are not located on every floor. So it does take awhile to get to them and then wait for your turn.

Beautiful campus. I came here for the food tasting event and I can't wait to go back.

This CCA has two theaters and a museum. Great entertainment for the whole family. Located in a very nice area with lots of restaurants and you can walk two blocks to the Escondido Transit Center and the Sprinter.

Beautiful facilities with a great line up of artists. The executive director is fun and knowledgable

I was here for an event. The place is very nice but no wifi. Packing is far and no restaurants very close by.

Nice clean but I still insist the care of the bathrooms for the care of everyone so much money that I think to take out and the covers of the bathrooms seem to be 60 '

At Natalia's sound I had a wonderful afternoon / night.
Nice area, big space .. Was the best place with the Best Natalia Lafourcade!

Kind of tricky to find and get around, but it's a very nice venue.

Wonderfully sound, wonderful venue, saw Lyle Lovett for the 10tg time or so, and it was one of the best sounding ever.

Spotlighting Music and The Arts for the Escondido, San Diego County region.

California Center for the Arts is a great place for many indoor and outdoor activities. This weekend they had auditions for children to perform in a play.they are also connected to a parkand a small Escondido Museum. Take a visit, there is a pool and boys and girls Club on the block also. A great place to spend an afternoon.

Awesome location, great facility, amazing performance!

Went here for a free Christmas concert. Beautiful place.
