Since this was my first visit to the center I really didn't know what to expect. Nevertheless, I was impressed with the various activities that can be hosted all at one time, on the inside. My only disappointment came when I had to leave the event earlier than expected. I had not a clue how to exit the Parking Lot since there was no sign indicating Exit points. Noting that the way I entered was not the same way to exit as that area was blocked off. That caused a bit of frustration on my end. I would recommend that for future events Exit Signs are always put in place to aid patrons who are not familiar with their surroundings.

I am handicapped. I did not have a good time. They did not accommodate me. Group was mediocre. They told me I had to climb up about 15 steps. Did I mention I am disabled? Nice work. Ever heard of the ADA? Get it together people.

I have lived in Coral Springs for 12 years and known of this venue. Last night was the first time attending an event there. First it is great to have a venue so close to home that has a decent amount of quality events. They do serve some alcohol and movie type snacks. They could improve the service by having more locations to purchase, as last night there were only two. The lines were about twenty plus deep. Inside the venue was pretty intimate, about 1400 seats. The seats had plenty of leg room but definitely lacked shoulder room. I felt very cramped with the shoulder space. Also, not sure if the act had something in his contract to keep it a little warmer but it was warm at thus event. A quick recommendation, if you don't mind seating on the sides, seat on the left side. This has direct access to the exit doors for easy exit when show is over. Another would be valet, but instead of the normal $10, pay the $20. They leave you car right up front and you skip the valet line that was 20 or so deep. I will definitely be back for a show here!

It was my first time at this center to see Lewis Black and it was fabulous. A small theatre so any seat is good and sound system excellent. I look forward to returning for future shows at this wonderful performance centre.

Lovely little museum of art in a beautiful setting. The gallery overlooks the gardens so the viewer has double the pleasure. Well thought out exhibits of mostly local artists. Lots of gems here.

I recently attended "The Machine" a Pink Floyd cover band. Getting into and out of the parking lot was fairly easy and the staff that I interacted with were very friendly. The part where this venue fell short is the seat map used to purchase tickets is very misleading! The map clearly shows an aisle between the center and left/right sections when in reality there is no such aisle. This lead me to purchase seats which I believed were going to be on the aisle, which were not! Not only were the seats not on the aisle, but the seat next to it was angled so there was even less leg room than the regular seats.

Great venue for touring or regional productions! The art museum is intimate but always hosts great exhibits. The new black box studio upstairs hosts great new local theatre produced by Punchline Theatre Company. Truly is the center for arts in the community!

This complex was created as a municipal gym and auditorium in 1990. In 1996 it received a four million dollar renovation to create the 1,471 seat theater and to expand the campus. I'm a long time fan of this arts complex. When my daughter was in elementary school I used to take her and her friends over for art classes and to the children's events they hosted. She grew up attending the school field trips to the theater. In later years they added a peace sculpture garden outside that now hosts a touching painted rock tribute to the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas.

I came over on election day with a friend to view the art museum. They kindly offered free admission in honor of election day. The rest of the arts enter was being used as a voting site. Although small the art gallery is beautifully done with a wide open space, wood floors, and floor to window ceilings. During our visit there were three art exhibits. The main one was Metamorphosis by artist Daniel Winn. The exhibit was large fantasy paintings of people but my favorite part was sculptures of hands holding brightly colored apples. There was also an exhibit by the National Association of Women Artists called Daydreaming and art by Rolande Reverdy Moorhead called War and Patriotism that seemed appropriate for Veteran Day. The art museum also has a small gift shop selling beautiful jewelry, books, and decorative items.

At the Center for the Arts you see art, stroll a sculpture garden, or view a Broadway quality production. The center also has a dance studio and meeting rooms. Parking is free and plentiful which is always a plus. Coral Springs continues to be a beacon of the arts with this remarkable venue.

Always like going to shows here. Acoustics are great and the seating is good from anywhere if you don't mind going down long aisles to get to your seat (don't be one of those people who gets up and down!). The staff are wonderful, I love them!

Great place for a night out with the wife, big variety of weekly shows. It is also home for Next Stop Broadway, a theatre company that offers summer theatre camp for kids of all ages. They also offer a theatre program during the school year.

My husban took me to see Chris McDonald for anyone who doesn't know who he is . He is an Elvis impressionist. He is the best one around. That nite it was our anniversary and i won Billy Joel concerts tickets also. I went to see Chris and what a time we had here at the center awesome seats. Great atmosphere. Drinks were good, person were friendly. We got to talk to Chris at the end and i sat on his lap and he gave me a kiss. He was such a nice guy. But the place is very nice and i really enjoyed the show. Chris sounds just like Elvis. I highly recommend to see any show here at the center is a nice place. I highly recommend go see Chris McDonald.
