Cultural Arts Center, Gadsden, AL Review

Most of the things were pretty old. Not really enough room for the amount of kids that were there

Awesome place. She had a blast! She didn't want to leave!

Art, education, dancing, music, food and fun, all in one place! It's the heart of downtown Gadsden!

I really like the staff. They really, seriously need to fix the escalator. That aside. I am glad they are around. They host shows, plays, they have classes occasionally. My kids love the little town play place. As we home school this is a prime resource. However, if there's a birthday party being hosted steer clear. Mad chaos. The staff are actually used to this and are glad to have help cleaning after the flood of unruly children leave.
More people need to support this place.

We visited Imagination Place. It is a fun-filled place for children and relaxing atmosphere for the adults.

My kids live the imagine place. I am so glad that they have started adding a little more items and are making sure you upkeep the area.

Always have something new so every visit is different. They have an amazing miniature train set on second floor. The detail of the Gadsden and several electric trains running at same time, train set up never gets old

The kids absolutely loved it! Reasonably priced and plenty of activities to do.

What an asset for our city! Art, events, dance, imagination place, exhibits. We attended the most unique yoga class I've ever.. Buthi Glow Yoga. Mixes Ashtanga, Vinyasa flow + tribal dance and some serious grooves while wearing glow paint under blacklights! You have to try this. SO fun..

Great place to take the kids. Just go on a day they aren't busy. Other wise it is complete madness.

Nice place to visit. They also have a great place for gathering.

If I could give it a one star i would. Photos are very misleading. We did the whole place in 20 mins. We where all very disappointed.

They had some great things for the kids. The snow room and arts and crafts were our highlights

Let It Snow is a fun exhibit for little ones along with the Imagination Place.

Very historic and elegant. Little activity it seems on any given time, but for the most part the place overall has always been clean and very spacious. Compliments to the management of this institution.

Have seasonal displays. The rest hasn't changed since the place was opened. The escalator ride to the miniature trains is the standard thing to do. The children's Imagination Place is tired & could use a good cleaning & refurbishment. The best thing is the restaurant attached to it but I'm not reviewing here!

Wonderful place to be involved with. My children have taken ballet and music lessons there. The only problem is the parking. The lot can get crowded and you may have a walk a ways. Not good when raining.

Imagination Place was great. But the Let it Snow exhibit was a joke. It was a lot smaller and just nothing to it. Kids were bored with it in about 15 mins

The food was excellent, service sucked & was a lot pricey

Great staff! There are some vivid issues, but it's a use facility. The elevators worked for wheelchair folks, but the escalators were not running. Don't miss the gallery and the train.

Brought our son here from Birmingham to get out from the city. He really had a good time playing at the center. Also, we were here during Smithsonian day which is free to visit for anyone. Otherwise, it's $8 per person. It's not worth for that price because of the size and maintenance of the place but $3 would be reasonable.

Kids always have a great time, the staff is friendly and it's always clean.

A great place to see cool art. They change it up so that things don't stay the same and get dull. They also have a great place for young kids to play, and learn called the imagination place.

My nephews birthday was held in the imagination place. It was really nice.

The Courtyard is a great place to eat. The food is a little pricey but really good.

Great museum and my wife and I got married there last year

The snow exhibit is always so much fun for the kids!

I love to go look at the art exhibits that come from time to time and I like going to Cafe 5 for the ribeye steak

We love this place! They have such great events! They bring in a great variety of exhibits! The kids love to play here! The staff are friendly and helpful! The snow exhibit in winter is always fun! We just visited Storyland. It was really fun for my toddler and my school aged boys!
Sadly, I did notice many areas in need of repair.

My children love to visit and get excited about each new exhibit!

Great for all ages! Many things for the family including a restaurant inside that is amazing!

My kids love this place. Great place to take when it is raining out.

What a surprise. Interesting art work and historic model railroad.

Great meal ... Looks like a regular fish market upon entering ... However, the meal (Blackened Mahi) was excellent. Best meal I have had while visiting Gadsden.

Good food service can be a little slow, and sometimes the bartenders don't remember you when you sit at end of bar because they tend to stay at front

My toddler loves the imagination place and the trains upstairs. Great value for members. Just wish they would start replacing the old toys with newer, cleaner toys.

Absolutely love taking my kiddos here. The Imagination place, is a great place, to let my kids, play freely, while I sit and relax.

A wonderful place for the kids to explore, learn and have fun.

Exceptional customer service, play area, conducive and educational activities. Very safe place for the family.

It good for your family and friends to get out and enjoy a nice clean fun place for your kids to have fun .

It was a great exp an my 3 year old was amazed she loved it!!!

Very overpriced and we have more toys at home to play with.they even charge 8 dollars for adults to get in. Don't waste your money and plan you another trip. The kids was ready to go in 10 minutes.I put a one star cause I couldn't put a negative.

Large, quiet, and full of culture, three great things.

It was a great experience I will be sure to keep up with future events.

Great way for the kids to learn diffrent jobs and things that they might want to do once they get older

Great place to bring your imagination driven kids. My four year old could spend hours playing in thier pretend town. Everything is child proof and child friendly.

It's a cheap little place to take kids for a day. They have one room that rotates activities weekly/ monthly. Downside is they charge for adults as well.
