Cool place. My experience with the this place for nearly the last 20 years is as a performer. This place has ALWAYS had great people on staff. They are very knowledgeable, helpful and passionate about what they do. This place hosts many of the greats, from the local to the world renowned! I encourage anyone visiting DC for a few days to make the Kennedy Center a part of their personal itinerary.
Worthy of its name, owing to the physical plant and the diversity and excellence of its presentations.
Iconic. Beautiful. Surreal. A DC treasure. We are all #blessed to be in the presence of this venue. Millennium Stage offers free shows at 6PM every weekday and is an amazing way to catch the greatness of what the national arts scene has to offer.
Great show! Shear Madness
Performers were exceptional
Come early to take a nice walk and enjoy the scenery!
What's on my mind. Red carpets on the floors, high ceilings, plenty of marble, a small symphonic concert hall from our CSO, an average audience of over fifty. Still, it was a good night.
BEAUTIFUL!!! Beautiful Center!
I went there to see Alvin Ailey Dance Group !!! EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE EVERYTIME!
The performance spaces are great, and the halls are spectacular. The terrace has great views of the Potomac River.
They offer frequent free performances at the Millennium Stage, and they have periodic events for young children, in addition to modern dance, orchestra, plays, ballet, and other performances.
The venue is oddly isolated. It's accessible from Metro Rail by way of a free shutttle bus, but this adds time. Parking is more than $20.
More challenging is that there aren't a lot of convenient places to eat. They have a sit down restaurant that can be hard to get into. There's also the onsite KC Cafe, a casual place that offers about what you'd get at a Whole Foods market (sandwiches, salads, a few hot items, wine and beer) but for exorbitant prices. Expect to pay $12 for packed sushi.
All seats have a great view. Even upper balcony in the back!
Here's a good tip. You can pre order your intermission drinks from the bar before the show starts. Just ask the bartender. Your drinks will be waiting for you. This works for beer, wine, and if you don't mind a few melted cubes of ice in your cocktail.
Amazing! Had a blast watching Dear Evan Hansen tonight, amazing service, amazing merchandise, and best of all, amazing shows!
Went to see a concert there. Nice place but staff were a little rude giving directions. I suggest showing up extra early if you can.
Saw a great show and just love the feel of the place
We had a fantastic time at the NSO/Ben Folds Declassified series. Great atmosphere before and after paid with outstanding music inside the Concert Hall. Parking was easy, just get there ahead of time and park in the garage.
It's awe-inspiring to be in such a grand place. From the staff to the facilities to the productions themselves, they continue to deliver an excellent experience for all who visit.
I recently saw the Shen Yun performance. The graphics were awesome! During intermission I bought snack and I was surprised that the snacks were reasonably priced.
This place is wonderful. I d like more plans for students to make accesible or possible to watch their shows, specifically an opera concert.
Getting in wasn't too problematic, getting out took more time. Always good to be here.
Beautiful facility. Some sound issues during performance.
Just different from NYC. Many rooms to visit the. Paintings. Nicely decorated.
