The egg is so cute, and it actually looks like a huge UFO if you see it from the highway or the bridge. It is extremely beautiful when it reflects the sunlight!!!!

Very cool place. Would recommend taking a look if you’re in the area.

Took me a few times coming here to not get lost. Love the retro modern concrete buildings and lights. Staff is helpful getting you where you need be and the shows are intimate with pretty good sound. Short walk to good eats and beer at City Beer Hall and coffee at Stacks Espresso Bar make it a great night out in Albany.

This structure is impressive. The pictures do not do it justice. We visited on a sunday so we were not able to go inside because it was closed. However just how it looks outside is awesome. Next time im in Albany i want to try to come when they are open.

Musician friends got tickets for Adrian Belew, so I drove up from Philly for the show. This is such an amazing venue. Big enough to hold a good crowd and small enough to still be really intimate. The show, sound and seats were astounding. I wish I lived closer. Seriously, this is a phenomenal place to see anything.

The Egg is such a fabulous venue for entertainment! It is located in downtown Albany and is recognized by its shape: egg-like. My husband and I have seen many groups perform and gave always been delighted by the variety and musical excellence of the performers. Tonight we heard Marty Stuart and his band. We saw Marty Stuart on the PBS series Country Music and were impressed by Martys contributions to the documentary. The show was very well-done. Marty and his band were well-rehearsed, played brilliantly, and sang with excellent harmonies. I am not a country music fan, but the music and stories were more than country; they were engaging and impressive. If Marty Stuart is coming to your town, but a ticket and enjoy the show!

Great place, Ive been bringing my family and friends here for years, from ballet, to mermaid theater, to the Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. Always a great show. Wish there was a bit of signage on which side was left vs right side of Hart theater. But always a great experience.

We saw Almost Queen and the sound was excellent. The theater is really nice and we had plenty of leg room. They have free parking. You can park and walk to any restaurant before the show or just check out Albany. We ate at Jacks Oyster House before the show and the food was great. I am looking forward to seeing other shows there.

A great performing arts and cultural events center, that is also a renowned architectural landmark of the City, this venue is nestled in the heart of downtown Albany NY. The Center is conveniently connected to the underground Concourse, with shopping, dining, banks, public parking and handicap access available. This is a photo of a fabulous performance at the annual Festival of Nations event that takes place on the last Sunday of October. Thank you for the wonderful experiences, The Egg.

A really neat place that is deceptively large. A good mid-sized venue with super friendly staff.

Went here for an animal exhibit. It was a great time for everyone!

Very cool, its a flashback. The animal show was awesome

I havent been inside the egg but theres an auditorium inside which hosts shows. The architecture is unique and the place is located right at the heart of Albany next to the capitol building. One of the trademarks of Albany!

Its a beautiful and exciting place to visit.

There was a concert going with a multitude of food vendors. It was loud and vibrating. It was also quite an experience. We enjoyed being able to walk the kids around and listening to music. If youre going for the music sit in front of the stage. The quality of the music is very echoey by the Egg. The Egg itself is quite an epic building. Underneath is a museum we have yet to enjoy ,but it looks very interesting what plaques have been placed around.The structure is surrounded by fountains and art sculptures. Its an incredible feel. Lots of picnic table and stone bench seating.

Michael Schenker Fest was fantastic.... Can wait to see what rock band comes next to the egg. The venue let you be up close and personal with the artists.

I loved that I was able to get a chance to go to Albany NY for the first time in my life ..

The unique architecture is appealing though it does lead to a little confusion. Ive had many friendly and enjoyable experiences here for concerts, comedy, and childrens programming. Parking can be difficult and /or expensive, but thats downtown Albany. Very friendly staff, from ushers to elevator operators and at the box office.

It looks like a relic of an older time, but I can assure you that this venu has still got it. Nestled in the incredible Empire Plaza, the two listening rooms at the egg are incredible venues with excellent sound, and no bad seats in the house. If there is a band there you would like to see, id recommend going.

Surreal architecture!

Went to see a hard rock show here (Nightwish). The building is beautiful, the staff is very kind, the lighting rig is very nice with tons of conventional fixtures, and the venue has great acoustics.That is where my praise ends. The sound system in the room is absolutely awful. I am a event sound and lights professional and it was clear throughout the night that this was not enough rig for the gig.The subs were tubby and not clear and the tops were clearly being driven to their max and the room was not even all that loud. There were many times the vocals couldnt carry above the instrumentation.I didnt take measurements, but, my best guess is it was hovering around 95dba where I was (not loud at all for a metal show).

One of the best venue for a show, amazing acoustics and cool looking too

Loved it. Better leg room than most. Great, unobstructed views of the stage (from where I sat) and helpful staff. Architecture is delightfully whimsical and a breath of fresh air to the mediocre cattle boxes we’re herded into for entertainment.

Went for my DILs graduation. Impressive building! If you park in ANY of the nearby structures, take pictures, write down your structure name, streets its on...do whatever it takes locate your vehicle after!

I went for the animal exhibit and the animals were amazing but I think it should have been held in a larger place. But overall the entire building was amazing

Great small venue. Loved the projector screen for the far side. We had L orchestra seats, last seats in the row...part of the stage is blocked off by the speakers, but the screens take care of that! Just have. I had a hard time not dancing... thats the only real downside to this venue in my humble opinion.

Look forward to every opportunity to see a performance here. Building is cool and unusual. Not a bad seat in the house. Saw Lisa Lampanelli and David Sidaris here, both great shows. Ticket prices reasonable, seats comfy, drinks before show fair selection and price.

This is an amazing venue to see shows, comidians, etc. Its almost intimate, only seating about 1000, and there is no bad seat. Parking is easy and abundant, and only $5. Easy walk to the elevators, then an easy walk to your seat. Handicap friendly. I will eagerly go back to see a show.

Stunning architecture, great acoustics, and super friendly staff. LOVED IT

Best sounding venue in the area. No matter the musical style, if you like it, and its coming here, get tickets.

What amazing architecture and acoustics in the Egg! The lineup getting into the venue was confusing though, and everyone was milling around asking where to go and what to do. Other than that, it was a really great evening there!

The Egg is wonderful! All theaters have great sound. The Logans Run-esque interior design is so unique! Lots of good parking in the underground plaza is nice in bad weather because elevators in the parking lots take you right up to the Concourse.

I am giving it a 5 because it was a great night to socialize. Caucus weekend is about taking care of business and fun.

Always enjoy great shows here! The sound is fantastic and theres not a bad seat in the house!

Great venue for extravagant events

Went to see Kevin Smith for the Reboot Roadshow. Easy to get to, parking inside in bad weather. Nice theater!

It was my first time at the egg. Facility is well maintained and easy access. Ill be back. Next time with a photo!!!

I really like this small venue for concerts. Comfy seats & just the right amount of people.

Great place for Ice Skating

Easily my favorite music venue in the capital region. Only downfall is the crowd tends to be a little stuffy but not enough to take away a star. I love The Egg!

I love coming to the Egg. Its one of those places you have to check out when you visit Albany. It is really a must do when you are in the city. You can walk around enjoy your surrounding and take it all in and relax.

Its a convenient venue with decent leg room, but its in need of updating and additional bathroom stalls.

Saw Railroad Earth on Valentines day 2019. Awesome show. Always great acoustics. Intimate feel. Hassle free. Line for drinks was long... Not a concert bar setting like you often get with RRE. Not as much dancing. But much easier to see the show than at the theaters that dont have seating.

People of color came out in abundance to support such a spectacular event. AMAZING!!

Scenic and historical area, very unique building.

I went to a comedy show held at the egg for 10pm showing. Free parking at the museum, then you can walk in at the entrance to the plaza near there. You can pick up tickets at the ticket booth there. The line to get in can get long, and everyone is ushered upstairs by elevator which can take a while. Theres a candy/drink bar upstairs, but theres not really food allowed inside of the venue. Seating is pretty in any spot. Inside is pretty clean and beautiful with a decent amount of room. No pictures are allowed inside. I would definitely go again.

Great venue for concerts. Ample convenient parking, good sound, comfortable seating.

Saw Tim and Eric 2020 Mandatory Attendance Tour. It was hilarious. Great show and venue.

Great place to be admitted to the NY Bar.

Great seats...lots of leg room, ushers to help . Dont think there is a bad seat in the heart theater. Found easy peeling but website didnt tell you much about the parking availability. Will only go to the egg. Will never spend another penny going to the times union center againTU seats are narrow and you kiss your knees the whole time. The egg had comfortable seating with great leg room.

No better place toncarchna show, the accoustocs and atmosphere are topnotch and second to none.

Great acoustics, not a bad seat in the house. Cool place.

A wonderful venue with roomy seats and a great view from every seat.

I was fortunate enough to see The Cotton Club which is a motion picture at the egg. At first I thought the screen would be too small and that the experience was not going to be immersive however I found it to be quite immersive and wonderful the surround sound system was epic! Not to mention the descending seats which were very spacious and gave you plenty of visibility

Went here for an animal exhibit. It was pretty cool :D

Not a bad seat in house. Seats are comfortable, easy to park, wonderfully unique.

Great venue - all seats have a good cute of the stage and the acoustics are amazing.

This place is awesome. There is not a bad seat in the house. The exterior is striking but the shape matches the interior which is covered with beautiful would acoustical paneling. The sound quality is outstanding. We travelled from Rochester to see a favorite performer and were so impressed by the show in this special place. Its worth the trip to see a show at the Egg.

Easy parking, cafeteria has great food. There for a dance competition and liked that they had security walking around

Great place for live performance!

Nice venue to be up close and personal

Saw the High Kings here with the family. The performance room was small, maybe seating 100, but it was cozy and the sound worked well in the space

Not a bad seat in the house. Small intimate venue.

Great show, good sound, reasonably priced tickets, snack bar could be a little bigger.

Awesome view

Great job and venue superb - Bravo Peter Lesser and Team!

Went to see a concert.. Great seats and the sound was awesome!

The building itself is very nice and fairly easy to navigate. I didnt particular like the way they run the parking garage. My daughter attended a 2 day conference and they charged us the parking fees when we dropped off and again when we picked up.

Always a comfortable seat. Great show tonight!

Shoot dance shows in the egg from time to time. Good place for festivals and dance shows. Surroundings are really famous for wedding/romantic shoots.

Clean, staff very helpful. Great first time there.

Went to the Roy Orbison and Buddy Holly hologram tour. My wife and I loved it.

I absolutely love this venue. All kinds of bands and stand-up comics come to The Egg. Love it.

Great exotic animal show and loved all the penned animals.

World class acts in an intimate setting. My wife and I always enjoy seeing well known artists as well as some we may not know and have never been disappointed. I would recommend that everyone check out The Egg.

I went to my first show at the Egg on November 4, 2019 to see Boz Scaggs. The venue is beautiful, spacious seating with plenty of legroom and excellent acoustics. Definitely recommend coming here for a show.

Very nice arhitectural building.

One of my favorite places to see music/comedy/ANYTHING! Beautiful building? was to get in and out of, right in the heart of downtown Albany!

Great show venue. Easy access to parking for only $5

Best venue for a show. No bat a bad seat!

Excellent venue that doesnt seem to have a bad seat in the house. The process to get up to the theater from main concourse is a little bit of a burden and time consuming especially after waiting to get into visitor parking lot. Would park on Street and walk into when but hard to manage with 2 little ones and temps in the teens. The venue is worth the wait in line and provides a great overall experience, just factor in extra time for parking and to get into theater.

Beautiful. Great meeting we have had there

Been going here many years and this place has amazing sound and great seating no matter where you are . I was there to hear a band called the Suffers. I think the sound was just amazing but wish there was a little more promotion of the band. Small venues are great like this because you can interact more with the artist. Will be going here again.

A perfect venue for live music in the region. Great sound, great sight lines, comfortable seating, fair prices, and, in winter especially the underground parking is a plus. Two theaters, and even the larger one has an intimate feel.I love it.

Went to see The Hungry caterpillar with my son and his Classmates. It was absolutely amazing and ALL of the children enjoyed themselves.

Intimate setting. Trixie was AMAZING

Great venue! Lots of space, friendly staff, great aucustics

Almost Queen was great. Always an awesome seat at the Egg.

Excellent concert. Sweet Honey and The Rock

Just Nostalgia for me. Glad to revisit after 17 years

Great venue for a convention or group meeting. Attended a mission to the capital this morning, and had breakfast and opening remarks in the egg. It was easy to find the entrance, and you can access it via indoor tunnel to avoid the weather.

We went to see Rickie Lee Jones in one of the smaller theaters, seating about 500.. There were approximately 350 people there. The venue was intimate, clean and the staff were friendly and professional. We had a great time!

My own experience at this place was quite good. We were there for Adrian Belews performance. In terms of being a performance center, its way above average - acoustic, spaciousness and lights are better than expected.

We Just saw The Egg from outside. But gotta Tell you, dont forget to click pictures at I Love NYC

Love concerts at The Egg. Great acoustics in a surprisingly intimate hall (the wood makes it warm and cozy, physical & audio) I have never had a bad seat here no matter how far back. Very nicely designed performance space.

Great venue for a concert. Not a bad seat in the house

Best place to see a concert..You can see from anywhere.Not a bad seat...just saw Johnny Lang he was incredible the sound was great.

The acoustics are great here!

Great musical venue and not a bad seat in the house.

Its an oval shaped building that holds multiple events in different auditoriums. The staff are helpful and the seating is comfortable.
