Tempe Center for the Arts Reviews

Went to an ASU Choral event. No mention of the lack of parking and the need to take a bus from the parking garage. Beautiful venue but I wasn't dressed to walk or ride a bus. Event was free for students, $16 for others at the door and open seating. At least three ushers told us there was no more seating yet none of the ushers were encouraging people to not save seats and to move to the center of the row so open seats were easily visible. One even told us the upper section was reserved for the choir -- who were performing - and when the students were done, they sat in seats that had been saved; I am still not clear why they were seated as the audience and not held backstage. If my husband hadn't made it from his run from the parking garage (because of the lack of bus and the show starting soon), I would've demanded our money be returned and trekked back to the car. Terrible experience. Not likely to return.

Great venue but the bar staff needs a serious upgrade!

Went in for an evening walk and the place seems great for art gallery.

We used the bike/running/walk loop on the Salt River. Rental bikes and scooters are available.

Fabulous venue. Gorgeous views on the outside patio. Not too big not too small. Good acoustics..

This place is so awesome, good place to go around along with family, friends and kids. Canal view, park and good for fresh air, bike rides and scooters rented for convenience.
Arts center is well equipped and very good place to host events and small meetings.

Beautiful building inside and out is the best way to describe this milti-use space that's sits on the water front.

Beautiful. Classic but modern. Great events. It's pretty ideal for a venue of this kind. I've never had a bad experience. Several shows, fundraisers, etc later and it's all been great.

Love this place! Very cool to check out day and night. lots to see!

First class facility in a beautiful area by the water

Saw Rogers's Tom Jones and the Motown Blossoms. Show was great and there is not a bad seat in the house. It is right on the water and has a beautiful view at night.

Always a good time welcoming and inviting environment love the architecture of the building and surrounding sights

This place was awesome . Went to see dailey and vincent. Was a good venue not to small but small enough to really enjoy the show. There is also a art museum in the lobby.

Great place to see a play. We have been to both theaters and enjoyed both. They have a museum and cafe inside and a great reflective pool outside where you can take pictures.

This place is awesome. Always something going on...nice people, many free events like open mic nigbt on wednesdays is amazing...highly recommend

Peaceful, fun, energetic, lively way to spend time with friend and fam.

Beautiful venue overlooking Tempe Town Lake. I have been here many times for theaters and plays, most recently a trade show. There is a bar and a coffee shop most of the time. I believe food is usually catered if offered.

Quiet everyone that working look unhappy nice to get some air

Gorgeous Venue, inside and out!!! Great programs for young, old for every genre! Very proud we have this in Tempe, especially at Lake front. Beautiful!!!

Beautiful architecture, very plesant curators, beautiful art gallery.

Great place to visit! I kile to bring my kids here when ethey offer free gallery shows, it's cute to see all the photographers around,very colorful and there's always some type of music either playing for the audience or in the background from students practicing instruments. Our last visit was for a photoshoot outside but there was a sandstorm, the security guard let usj insode until it passed even though it was already closed to the public.

Great little theater where every seat gives you a good view of the stage. The performances are very professional and good for all ages.

Pretty venue. Long lines if you want a beverage. Good bathroom facilities. Parking stinks right now.
