Tempe Center for the Arts Review

Relevant shows, a well curated gallery, and a celebration room w infinity pool. Fri/Sat happy hour a big plus.

Great place to go for a walk and enjoy the water and the people.

Came with a field trip, the kids loved it great sound and the view was amazing. The kids were mesmerized by the performance.

Really quiet and relaxing. The lady watching the art gallery was very friendly and greeted us as we entered. Great place to have lunch as well since it borders the river. Would recommend.

Lovely place. On the lake with walking access to the bridge.

The Tempe Center for the Arts is a lovely building on Tempe Town Lake. Brilliant date spot with the bridge going across the lake, free music on Friday and Saturdays in the lobby, and art exhibits in the gallery.

One of the best acoustics of any theatre I've been to.

Very nice facility, friendly and helpful staff. We were in a smaller theater and it was wonderful.

The concert hall is beautiful, comfortable, and has great sound quality. A top notch facility.

Fun place. Went here with my daughter and her class for school to watch a play that was funny and done very well. Definitely something different to do

Spacious, awesome architecture, friendly staff, love to come here.

The venue is fantastic, but parking situation is horrible because construction has begun where the old parking lot was. They do have a shuttle to get you to the temporary dirt lot. It is also difficult to turn around where the old lot was. In short, parking situation is so bad it has affected whether I want to return at any point in the near future.

Beautiful venue. Love the size of the theatre. Sounds was great!

Don't forget to check out the exhibitions in the gallery!

This is one of the most beautiful places in Tempe, who ever designed this piece of art it's a genius because it got gorgeous views all around
And the bridge just right in front of it all the landscaping and the lake it makes this place out of this world, I come here at least ones a month
Great job city of Tempe

First time here. Saw play 'Asha.' Venue is beautiful. Loved the high ceilings. Theater was cozy. I'd definitely come back

Beautiful as always. Coffee shop is a nice break from the sun

Nice newer facility, great waterfall and walking area

Wonder venue. Intimate and interesting architecture.

Such a nice little theater. The front row is against the stage. Very friendly staff and several amazing places to take great photos

This is a great venue with beautiful views. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Gorgeous venue without a bad seat. Saw Scottsdale Musical Theater Company's production of My Fair Lady, and it was a positive experience.

My first time here was on a field trip with my son's class. The play was lively and my son thought it was hilarious (Go Dog Go). Afterwards we went outside to have lunch and loved all the open grass areas. The lake nearby provided a beautiful view and the kids loved it (kept asking to swim in it). We will definitely be coming back for more events and to enjoy the area longer than a couple hours on a field trip ;)

Nice Venue!It is quaint to a certain extent, and the staff is warm and very personable!

The show was great. The facilities are super clean and the ushers are quite helpful. The parking seems ample and Google directions worked like a charm. Can't wait to go back some day.

We went here for the Tempe comedy concert and had a great time. It's a beautiful venue.

Great venue - many thanks to The Stakes for a great show

Amazing facility, and has a nice view. If you're traveling, though, just remember the WiFi only works in the main lobby area and is weak in the theatre and other parts of the building (as of August 2016).

Very nice theatre. Plenty of room and comfortable seats. They offer cushions to raise the seats for the little ones higher.

What a great venue!! Even in the balcony not a bad seat in the house. Here for deadhot workshop.. so excited for them

Beautiful view and you can walk or bike cliser to the lake

Went to see A Christmas Carol. Bartender was awesome!! Seats very comfortable!!

Fabulous place for a concert. Free parking, great location. Will visit again!

Loved the concept of this facility, and I am defiantly a believer in more culture, but the staff working the events were incredibly rude to my girlfriend and I, we asked simple questions and the people sitting at the tables just turned their heads to us as if we didn't exist anymore. Great place, terrible staff!

Great spot to enjoy music and cultural events in the heart of tempe

What a beautiful facility can't wait to go back and do more exploring. Went for the fireworks display at Tempe town lake watching from AC what a concept will definitely do this again. $15 see the art gallery and wow the gift shop was it's own gallery filled with works from local artists plus AC comfort the temperature outside was just shy of triple digits. Again can't wait to go back.

This is one of my favorite places. You can get a great view of the damn in the Tempe Town lake on the west side. As well the area surrounding the arts is perfect for watching sunsets and enjoy libations from the bar just inside the building. Parking is still being worked in but it recently opened back up. As well enjoy multiple forms of transportation from skates to bikes to scooters to two-person carts to get around by the waterfront. The arts had some great water views and waterfalls. And amazing lighting at night, as well as other types of paddle boats for the water. Inside the building it is constructed in a very artistic look with bright colors and beautiful pieces of work. Great place to take in smaller concerts and performances. Truly a gem in the desert.

A beautiful building and an ideal location for having an event. We held our annual AZIMA TIMs Award event here and, by far, the best venue we have experienced. The patio overlooking Tempe Town Lake made it feel like a formal and elegant event. Our event room was a perfect size and also had great views. Well done!

Great music venue, beautiful view of the water. Wednesday is open Mike nights and it's free for the public.

Great atmosphere to experience art. The ushers are very nice and welcoming. There's a small bar inside the place, and a great view of Tempe Town Lake

Had a great time, watched A Christmas Story in the theater. Date night. Great venue.

Came here to see the tempe symphony! Beautiful facility. Even has a great gift shop! Love the waterfront view too!

This place is beautiful, across from the Tempe lake. It breathtaking. Will be back

It's everything about the arts on fridays and saturdays they have free music 3 to 6 pm. U will need to check schedules to see whats playing maney intresting things going on. Prices range from 10 to 35 dollars in the theater.

Beautiful facility featuring varied art forms, staffed by exceptionally helpful and welcoming employees. Please visit!

Saw the Christmas symphony orchestra here. Was amazing

We have utilized space at TCA for several years for events. We could not be happier with the level of communication before, during and after our event. Every member of their staff who assisted our productions went above and beyond to be helpful and courteous. The pricing for the amount of support and experienced staff you receive hosting an event on site is unmatched.

Awesome place, very scenic, met very friendly people. Parking for large events was well coordinated.

This place is really nice to visit. However, the staff are very rude and judgemental. They treated us as if we were not welcome and we were "loitering" when all we were doing was sitting in the outside area enjoying the view. THATS WHAT THE PLACE IS FOR!!!! They really overstepped a few boundaries as far as I'm concerned.
