Omg this place is so good! As long as you have an understanding about the artists and take the dedicated route, it is super cool. If you’re looking for something to walk around during the day, I definitely recommend it. I love all of the art and it’s just so quiet and peaceful.

Its simply a very nice unpretentious venue. It is a multi-purpose facility that also includes an outdoor venue for summer concerts. It is a much bigger venue than most city owned and run venues in my opinion. I know people that volunteer for The Center who cant extol the virtues enough. Happy volunteers make for a well run organization and satisfied patrons. The Arvada Center has such diverse offerings not only in performing arts, music and plays, but also visual arts amongst other offerings. The Arvada Center has an appeal throughout the Denver Metro area both for its quality of offerings and affordability. I believe the Arvada Center to be second only to the DCPA. This was written by a resident of another city. Photos taken during intermission of the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra January 2020.

We have been there a few times with friends and family and have loved the ambiance and the selection of wine here. They have an amazing selection for wines by the glass and by the bottle.

I really enjoy having the Arvada Center so close. I took pottery classes with them years ago and recently realized how much I missed it. So I signed back up & just love being surrounded by some of the most amazing artists!

We finally did this! I love calling in and learning about the sculptures from their creators! Do this! Try this!

Sign up for a class in dance, painting, ceramics, etc. or stop by to check out the indoor and outdoor displays. Covid has reduced the staff on hand but still super enjoyable.

Nice theater, saw Christmas Carol in Dec 2019. Personal touches was nice, our tickets came with free cookies which was really well thought out for a first time guest. Enjoyed the show!

The facility is always very clean (and beautiful) and they always host great events. I went for a workshop through my school district and the room was very open and spacious. The lighting was also perfect. The staff behind the desk off to the left were also very friendly. I also saw a show here once and it was very pleasant. The flow of things was very smooth.

So much to explore at the Arvada Center! Art collection is top notch.

We have been fans of the Arvada Center since it was built. It is nice to have a pace outside of Denver to see a good concert.The venue is big enough to accommodate a good number of people yet provide an intimate feel.The staff is friendly and helpful.They also have a variety of classes for the community.Recommend checking them out.

Great sculpture field and looking forward to attending events here.

This is a great place to feel creative.

Great place to explore about. Wonderful classes and events.

I love the Arvada Center. They have the best shows and I love their amphitheater

Black Box theater was recently remodeled. With the stage in the middle, all seats had great views. Seats could have been a little bit more comfortable.

Great sunset walk in the sculpture garden.

The Arvada Center is an amazing complex of performance venues, galleries, and a historical museum.The outdoor amphitheater provides both lawn seating and sheltered theater seating. With its great sound its the perfect place to take in a summer concert. The large indoor venue houses two outstanding theaters, several ballroom/conference spaces as well as classrooms, art exhibits, and a small museum. Concessions both inside and outside sell a variety of food and beverages.The Main Stage theater is the larger of the two theaters and features state-of-the-art sound and lighting. The amphitheater style seats ensures unobstructed views of the stage for everyone, with the tiers spaced so that even a short person seated behind a tall person can see the stage.

Awesome art shows. cool history. DIRT WALL. big statues.

Great shows, classes, and events. My kids love the sculptures in the field and the play area with the huge dragon creature!

This is a great place to go every day, because of the breathtaking scenery and the very fresh air of this place the super deliciousness makes me feel amazing! After I go to this place .

Bought covered tier 2 seats a couple of days before the show. These were nice since it did end up raining, but all of the lawn areas would have provided a great view for cheap. Not a bad seat in the house as this place is intimate but designed well.

The Arvada center for the performing arts is a wonderful addition to the Denver Metropolitan area. It is a nonprofit, but the production quality is very high and very professional. The after community classes suited for everyone of all ages, and performances that are likewise good for all. I recommend the musicals and holiday shows as they are spectacular and something I come back to time and time again.

Really a good stress buster with well lit and interesting exhibitions. Free weekend entry to most of the exhibits. Not too big and a very nice play area for the kids outside. When we went there. They had a chair themes exhibit. Very unique and serene exhibits.

What a great find! We have been to two shows, one in the amphitheater and one a musical play in the theater. Top quality entertainment in a neighborhood setting. Access and parking was a breeze.

I have been a season ticket member for about 3 years, and have been n impressed at the variety and quality of the shows that have been performed. Most recently I saw A Christmas Carol - the musical and wad thrilled with the transformation of this old story. Earlier this year, Bright Star was a new to me show, very well performed and entertaining.

Home! A favored place for me to get some serenity! Thank you all for following. Much more to come in the future!

We saw The Christmas Carol. The show was fabulous! All the volunteers were great getting us to our seats and answering questions. Will definitely go back to see more shows!

I attended the Colorado Libraries for Early Literacy (CLEL) Conference here on Friday, October 4, 2019. Its a perfect venue for a small conference. Excellent refreshments throughout the day. Fairly good lunch. Attentive wait staff keeping the meeting rooms picked up and rearranging meeting rooms as needed between sessions. Easy to find and park. Clean bathrooms. Sure beats battling traffic to attend conferences in downtown Denver!

Beautiful venue! First time will not be the last time. If you have not seen A Chorus Line, and actually even if you have, you will not be disappointed. The talented ensemble cast is outstanding in every way...dancing, singing, and acting. And, the finale is definitely a highlight!!

The Arvada Center is full of amazing history, comedy, romance and great sounds of many decades. I believe the Arvada Center is always worth checking out..it could be a potential new hot spot for you and your family. They even hold some car shows in the summer months.

Incredible little collection of art in an open field next to Wadsworth. No paths, just wander freely and enjoy!I visited during sunset and it was perfect! Totally free and a great place for a selfie binge if that’s your thing!

Great place to study and relax but also to take art classes and dance classes. Great center, I recommend that you go there!

I’ve gone to a few of their shows now, and every time the performances have been exceptional! It’s worth seeing something here!

Love the venue.Easy Parking, no traffic to fight getting in and out. Its a smaller venue than the DCPA, so only up close seats and the auditoriums are designed in such a way that nobody in front of you ever obscures your view; performances are Top Notch quality, though Im not always sure who decides which plays to perform - there have been some strange ones.

It was a wonderful experience. I really enjoyed myself. The youth orchestras all performed very well.

Our children have done a few activities at the Arvada Center. I highly recommend the Art Start program for preschoolers. Art exhibits are nice to visit during wait times during classes. Outdoor theater is fun for family. Great programs, a bit confusing facility but not difficult. Squiggles in playground is exciting for children, and its now nicely shaded with mature trees.

A showcase of the community and world of art and exploration. This place has a cool park and very beautiful art exhibits. It is a awesome place for kids summer camps and to watch a play! Very fun for families or solo visits! Also a sculpture park walk is in the front.

We saw a Christmas Carol. It was fantastic! The sets were amazing and the actors were phenomenal. If definitely go back for another show.

Great venue in all regards. Never attended a show that wasnt stellar. Staff is friendly and helpful. Wonderful outdoor concert series in the summer as well!

Great exhibit showing amazing printmaking going on now through March. 528.0 showcasing printmakers within a 528 mile radius.

It was extremely entertaining and fun to watch with the family. Very organized with great security. We will visit again.

Absolutely loved the Black Box Theater inside the Arvada Center! A delightful theater-in-the-round experience! Bravo for a new take on the Murder on the Orient Express!

The Arvada Center is awesome. We came for a Kindergarten field trip, watched the play seussical and then did fun art projects. All the kids loved it!

We went to a book release that included a signing, and their handling of ticketing, parking, lines, refreshments, and just general atmosphere was wonderful. Their staff was helpful and knowledgable and I intend to attend many more events in the future!

Colin Parson does an excellent job.

This was a wonderful experience. I met my favorite author, Augusten Burroughs here and was welcomed by the ladies at the entrance. What a wonderful evening!

Great show, great actors, great theater,great time.

We.were.there for the company Christmas party. It was amazing! It was beautiful and the food was awsome and the staff was amazing

We saw A Christmas Carol the musical. Fantastic production! My only complaint is some theaters have very uncomfortable seating but the productions are always great!

We hosted a luncheon here and it was very nice. Staff was easy to work with and very friendly. Thank you.

We love the Arvada center. They offer a huge variety of Arts for kids and adults. My daughter plays in the Front Range Symphony and Ive done jazz adult classes.

What a fabulous afternoon. They have live theater, tasty snacks, and comfy seats. Well worth the drive.

Fantastic little arts center. Love their theatre program. Seen two shows with lovely friends and loved every show.

Fantastic place and cultural keystone for the westside of the metro area.

I love that they cater to the young children and have great programs. The play grounds are stupendous and the kids loved it. Great for outdoor picnics. Yes, we will go there again.

There isnt a bad seat in the house. Friendly and helpful staff.

Great venues. Awesome acting troop rivals the best. Fantastic concert venue. A jewel!

Great evening of theater with our family. Enjoyed Elf the musical immensely!

I love this place so much! I have danced here for ten years and all of the instructors are amazing and place you by strength and skill. This place is truly a center for the arts!

Great place, great art gallery. Fabulous stage craft for such an older theater.

Beautiful center. Exercise rooms. Ballrooms rooms. Art exhibits. 3 playhouses. Acoustics great. Elevators. Saw Travel in 1930s musical. Acting great. Voices great. Loved how the stage props were automated and when a scene location changed the appropriate sign lit up. Go visit. While you are at it take a ride on the new G line through Olde Town Arvada, get off if you will, and walk around. Plenty of shopping, bars, restaurants, old fashioned or classic toys, candies, gifts, pet food, etc.

Always a wonderful experience here! I always love seeing the art and the shows put on here! Wonderful, high quality art!

Fantastic little venue under the stars! The Samples and Toad the Wet Sprocket...

Excellent facility. Parking is plentiful and easy to navigate, the concert venue is beautiful with seating on the grass above. The volunteers were very kind and helpful. The food vendor is quick, with unique, tasty options.

I loved walking amongst the still statues (and especially the wind driven sculpture, amazing), and somehow managed not to get bumped into by the 99.9% of people there looking for Pokémon

Went to the Christmas Carol tonight with my family and it was completely worth it! So much fun and very very well done!

Great, intimate venue. Covered sction, grassy area. All grest seats.

Well built, interesting and fun to explore. We have put our child in classes here and gone to plays as a family.

Beyond thankful for this center. Great classes. Ceramics. Painting. Acting. Theatre. Teachers are all wonderful. Good pricing.

Great Place To Go, Especially For Those That Enjoy The Performing Arts!

They have beautifully thoughtful performances and interesting art galleries to explore before the show!

I’d pay more to see shows here than on broadway!

What a Gem. A large and small stage theatre, art gallery and outdoor amphitheater- Small nicely done historical museum inside.

Love this place. My granddaughter was in a performance of the Lion King there. I like the Christmas programs.

Great venue for plays. Free parking. Every show weve seen has been very well done.

Need some new installations but nice for a walk! Just visiting and love sculpture parks!

I loved the whole atmosphere. The Arts was amazing along with the musical . I really enjoyed seeing the ballet class in there at the same time as everything else was going on. It was Very clean too with nice people.

We took a field trip to see Ella Enchanted and the staff a super organized as far as placement of groups and communication. The workshops were relevant and engaging. We look forward to seeing them again next school year.

Great venue for large groups!! Good food...nice table decorations...have been here several times in past with different groups. Very neat and clean...helpful staff on hand to take care of your needs..easy access...not hard to find...also great venue for concerts and plays...good parking...miss the car shows though...

Saw Bright Star tonight. Fantastic cast and the theater is just the right size, not a bad seat in the house!

Its beautiful My first time attending & it was a wonderful experience with the Arvada chamber

Great venue, convenient location, ample parking, friendly staff,

From what I can tell this is a pretty cool place. Always drive by and didnt think much of it but there is the sculpture field, art classes (with wine), study areas, performances, an amphitheater, etc. The sculpture park needs a few disc baskets!

Wonderful! Very high quality artwork great gifts for Christmas.

Cought Christmas Carol musical today. One hell of a production! Great value on tickets. Far more intimate than DCPA and you dont have to deal with the homeless nor parking hassles.

I signed up for the teen theater group a couple months ago. They moved me up from the little kid one because I guess I had enough experience even though I was only 12. Well turns out the group had FOUR people! What in the actual hell?! If only four people (including me) sign up, then number one... THATS TELLING! & number two... DONT HAVE THE CLASS!! They even charged extra to move up. However, I learned from the experience... don’t take classes at the Arvada Center. :p

I have taken almost every course, it is so fun to learn and grow my abilities

Comfortable well-kept facility offering a wide variety of events.

The childrens shows are always so much fun and they do great crafts for the school field trips. We love to go here.

What a great play today. We all had alot of fun. Thank you

Nice art display. Plays well cast, Talented performers.

Great venue to see music. We have seen Squeeze and X and George Thorogood this summer.

My wife and I saw Elf the Musical here the other day. It was a great experience. Every seat in the place had a great view, it was clean, and the concession stand had a good selection of items and the line moved fast. Parking was very easy also.

Its great and there are many camps for kids and adults there

Great place to see an intimate concert outside. Love that you can bring a picnic style lunch with you.

Went here sense I was a kid and going here everyday reminds me of the good old days but the need to repaint dragon/ snake

My daughter is part of the dance academy here and she has grown so much in her dance ability since joining. We love Ms. Christina and her dance program.

Loved the venue. Comfy intimate outdoor amphitheater. Fun to bring in a picnic and sit on the grass. One thing that could be improved is the pitch of the lawn is very steep. Spent the whole concert trying not to slide down the lawn. Great sound, good beer.

Great place... Christmas Carol....amazing 100% recommended.

Nice facility and show was great. Took 6
