SMG - Van Andel Arena & DeVos Place Reviews

Always great to see the newest rides however the lack of concept autos to dream over makes this show feel like a sales lot.

Cool venue and neat set up they have for ArtPrize. The main hall is awesome with the lighting and architecture.

Expansive. Plenty of space for most any kind of show. I've been here for real estate, food, and RV shows and always easy to find my way around. Parking underneath the building is great when available. Inside the curved lined are neat with a grand view of the river.

Parking is always a pain jere but the facility is great.

Nutcracker was amazing! Not a bad seat in the house.

I love Devo's place. It's always clean, has several concession stands, and always has great "shows", convention's, college events, competitions, and so muchore!

Great venue for a y type of music from Symphony to Rock or Blues.

My favorite show by far is the wine, beer and food festival in November. This is one of the cities best venues, always clean, comfortable and friendly staff! Come join the fun downtown Grand Rapids!

Saw "Book of Mormon" and had a great time. They know what they are doing in terms of moving people along and keeping lines to a minimum, and it's a pretty nice venue. Be aware that the parking is across the street and not the easiest to get in and out of.

The show was great!! Entry was convenient, only one show (7:30 PM) of Rudolph. Lots of kids a little late for some of them. If having a kid show, how about an earlier start time?

Fun time with my son an an grandson see all the dinasour's at devos place awesome time.

in the front lobby of the Amway Hotel wife says it's very comfortable couch

Nice, clean facility. I went here for Art Prize. Lots of great artwork on display.

Exceptionally great food and the only venue in West Michigan able to seat 1,000 people.

Been to many conferences here. The building is big and beautiful inside. There are also beautiful views of the river from the building. And it's big enough that you can find quiet places even when there are several hundred people milling around the displays and attending seminars.

Comic Con is always a blast and the set up this year was better than ever!

Comicon was "out of this world!" The revenue was clean, well organized and in great condition.

Wonderful experience with world crown conventions Educational and fun.

We went to the car show, it was nice. And parking was across the street, with officers to help cross.

Sportsman show was awesome son caught a trout the logging competition was great

We had great seats and it was very comfortable. The aucoistics could have been a bit better as it was a bit hard to hear up in the balcony. The only concessions they had were alcoholic drinks water and candy. Kind of frustrating when I had a 14 year old with me. The place was clean and roomy and the staff was very friendly.

Always a great place for conventions. Parking is convenient.

Great place for any event! Large convention center! Easy access to downtown GR. I would recommend staying at the Amway Grand plaza when you are in town! The hotel has a skywalk to the convention Center. The hotel is 5 star in my book!

Very well laid out. Multiple rooms and great sizes to accommodate variety of audience sizes. Very helpful staff. Facility is clean and close to multiple good hotels and restaurants.

The Nurse's and Ma's I had during my stay at ButterWorth Spectrum was absolutely phenomenal.

Beautiful facility. Black Violin was icing on the cake.

What a versatile place. I've enjoy many events here and it's always a very comfortable and helpful crew at the Devos Place!

The center is fine, only downfall to anything downtown is parking. It's expensive as in more costly than the event itself.

It's a really great convention center and theater with lots of paid parking around it and bars/restaurants nearby.

Best place to take your child for any medical needs. They have been absolutely wonderful in all of my son's care. Best hospital staff I've seen in 25 years. We highly recommend devos.

The art there was beautiful! This building is on a river. The back of the building is pretty much all windows and doors & the view is amazing!!

We have had lots of events here very clean and spacious

Decent conference services, well-staffed, easy enough to navigate once you're inside. The drop off location for vendors is ideal. Parking is awful.

Visited exhibits during art prize. Nice looking conference center.

This place is super clean and comfortable! Roomy seats and wide aisles! Great for watching performances. Alcohol was being sold at reasonable prices and drinks were allowed in the auditorium. Speakers and stage were clean and modern. Very nice. Would recommend.
