Ive come here a few times to watch performances and the last one I went to was amazing. Great place, not overly crowded and still decent seats that were reasonably priced. I went and saw In This Moment and they were AMAZING! and our seats were not to far on the balcony

Great music, cool place. Water Bottles are banned because they ‘can be used as a weapon’.So, not only is this a vulnerable ‘gun free zone’ / ‘anything defensive free zone’, but they have no armed security here. I’ve never felt so vulnerable and fearful of an attack in my entire life, and I’ve spent the night in Compton LA, and many border towns as well as Charlotte NC. Any attacker armed with more than a plastic butter knife could beat their valet style ‘security’.Aside from venue rules, Great experience, excellent performances as always.

I saw In This Moment here. The venue is great to be up close and personal with your favorite bands. I would highly suggest this venue for any concert or show.

Went to see a Pop concert performed by the symphony with a Queen cover band. It was awesome!!! My seats were at the front and I enjoyed it. The chairs were quite comfy and easy to get to. The view was good for a band concert, but if I would be going for a play, I would want further back seats.

Never seen a bad concert here. The acoustics are wonderful and there is not a bad seat in the house. Large enough to pull major acts but small enough to feel intimate. The Philharmonic is a must at least once if you live in the Springs.

Havent been but sure would like to catch time to go!!! Heard nice things!!

The facilities are actually wonderful, and I really enjoy all of the shows and performances that Ive seen here. However, be prepared to be treated like a criminal when you enter: metal detectors and bag searches all around. Ladies, dont bother trying to bring in a purse at all. They never have any signs about where or who to show your tickets to, just random people hanging out on the other side of the metal detectors. They charge convenience fees to buy tickets in any way shape or form. I find myself going to performances here less and less because of how rude security is, and how money-grubbing the ticketing process has become. Im happy to pay for performances, and I realize that there are upkeep and staff fees, but I would really love to know where all the 18% convenience fees are going.

The hours vary of course depending on which show is performing. In general it opens doors one hour prior to performance. Most shows stop here for two days before moving on to Fort Collins Colorado or longer runs in Denver. Its a smaller venue. Parking free at your own risk or two lots that charge 5-10 for parking. Doors open 15 minutes prior to performance and has two places to get your expensive alcohol drink. A decent little restaurant next door. Outdated carpet but clean nonetheless.

Saw Mystery Science Theater 3000 LIVE on Feb 16, 2020.The building looks a bit dated from the outside, but it hides a nice elegance on the inside.Things were pretty well organized, but I could see a small issue arising at the right door if too many people were purchasing/picking up tickets while people were entering. Both are in a small room and could push against one another. However, more and more digital tickets are being done and this might never be an issue. Security is located beyond the entrace doors on both sides and there is a size limitation to bags. Be sure to look up those restrictions prior to attending an event or youll be walking back to your vehicle.Inside, for MST3K LIVE, the merch booth was behind the downstairs bar area. This led to both lines mushing up against one another and people unsure of where each line began.Inside of the hall, seats are a bit outdated and look like they belong in a high school. Dont let that description fool you though. The seats were REALLY comfortable to sit in. There is also a decent amount of space between your seat and the next row. That was really nice when people needed to navigate the aisle as you didnt need to stand up to allow someone to pass.

The venue was great overall. The restrooms were clean, the seats were in great condition, the acoustics were just plain amazing, and the lighting was spot on. The venue smells very good, and the grounds outside are very well kept. The security was tight, and the staff was very courteous. The clean restrooms were the biggest plus for my wife and I. The biggest drawback was the snack area. The clerks at the coffee table were very quickly overwhelmed during intermission, and the food selection was lacking. Just a suggestion (in case anyone reads this review): Try going all-in on the coffee section vending and vendors (please include decaf, more staff, and more cookies). Thank you for making it a fun experience for my family!

What a great place for an event. The staff was very cordial and Travis Tritt was amazing. The drinks were cold and we had great seats. Thanks for a great time!!!!

I was woken up in the morning by a former business relation. He advised me that he had purchased tickets for his family accidentally on the wrong weekend and he was out of state. He offered me the tickets since I was local and I had my twins with me. I excepted and we got everybody up and around. He was able to email me the tickets through the vendor. We proceeded to go to the event as a surprise and my kids were blown away having the most amazing day in a long time! I still get asked if we can go back to the Pike’s Peak Center by the 4 year old duo as they believe the paw patrol is there every day!Thanks for the memories!BDGC

The Pikes Peak Center is a beautiful venue. However, parking is a very irritating problem and the cost of the shows is generally pretty substantial. Plan to add a minimum of $5.00 to your visit to the Center for parking, and plan to wait for an extended time to exit afterward if you choose the adjacent garage. Most of the other parking facilities are more costly, more inconvenient, and farther away. It certainly lessens the enjoyment of the evening.

Great place. Big lobby area where drinks are served. Have a bar area. Really nice and no bad seating big stage. Multiple bathrooms. Big place. Great lace to see shows.

Great theater that draws some great shows. Some are better than others but, overall, they do a great job bringing in top notch talent. They have drinks available during shows for around $7 for a glass of wine, $6-8 for a cold beer. Theres a parking garage available during shows but it gets very busy and can take up to 20 minutes to get out on a busy night. Park on the street if you can.

I love this venue-would normally give 5 stars...BUT the bag size limitation is a bit extreme. We almost missed the show tonight because we had to take our purses (that were slightly larger than a half sheet of paper) back to the car. Why not just search the bags like other venues? You need a better security system.

Extremely disappointed for the 2019-2020 season tickets I purchased. A great seat in the Loge, Row A dead center. This Performing Arts Center hasnt been touched since built in 1979. The seats are hard as a brick, lights burned out everywhere, over heard the pre-dinner food was cold. You stand in the outside cold weather waiting for the doors to open at 6:30pm. It was just not what I expected, with my mobility issues. The facility needs a serious renovation to 2020 theatre standards, or close. I donated the remaining two tickets to Vet Tix so someone will use them.

We had really good seats! Sound was good. Seats are comfortable but they lack cup holders. Wine selection good, but pricey!

Christmas Joy performance at the Pikes Peak Performing Arts Center was amazing, as always. First Presbyterian Church has so many wonderfully talented people! I went with my grandson Colton and he loved it too. Forgot to take pics though:(Only problem is the surrounding streets all ripped up and the structured parking facility too!

Great place for events a little smaller than most places but all the seating is good

Nice clean venue with friendly and helpful staff. Free parking nearby. Prices are reasonable for events and concessions.

Absolutely terrible customer service. Unannounced security checks meant I had to run my wifes purse back to the car 5 blocks, each way. I thought I would be able to enjoy a show after a good meal, but instead I spent the first 25 minutes of it trying not to throw up. I wont be back.

Great venue for any type of show. Not a bad seat in the house.

We went to see humorist Jeanne Robertson. She had the whole auditorium laughing hard! We had great, comfortable seats in the mezzanine. I was with my dad, so we needed to take the elevator up there and had no issues. It was also nice the facility allowed us to bring coffee to our seats. We had a fabulous evening!

MST3K Live was awesome, I laughed the entire time. It was well worth the price. Fun night for all that attended

Great facility, not a bad seat in the house.

Amazing center for visitors. If you have questions theyll answer but you have to seek them out. A bit too touristy.

Nice theatre with the capability of having elaborate sets. Parking is very inconvenient. They dont serve wine out pre theatre dinner.. Only water allowed inside. There is no on site dining or Cafe. The seats start quite a ways back from the stage due to the huge are the orchestra pit takes up.

Saw Philharmonic Orchestra on New Years Eve. It was awesome! And the singer was amazing! Highly recommend going to a performance here sometime.

We attended my mother in laws Christmas Concert here and it was fantastic as always, it is a beloved tradition. We have also seen other shows and plays at this venue.There is construction going on around the building but it seemed to be easy enough to find parking if you were as early as we were for our event (1.5 hours early). The biggest change this year is their new security measures which included no oversized bags, metal detectors, and every bag got thoroughly searched. I appreciate their commitment to safety but being a mother to a young child (infant) on a cold and snowy day it was rather cumbersome to lug everything around without my usual diaper bag but we managed with some teamwork!Despite this the staff were exceedingly friendly,understanding, and even cheery despite being berated by numerous disgruntled characters (because you always have those types who have to complain to people who only enforce the rules and dont make the rules.)We highly recommend this venue, and will continue to attend as many events as we can here!

Comfortable, spacious seating. Good acoustics. Decent bar. Big problem can be parking.

Easy access, plenty of places to get a beverage. Great show!

Nice-sized venue, not too big. Seats were comfy but the space between the seats made it hard to maneuver past already seated guests. Great paid parking that was close but expensive and has a great drop-off area as well as metered parking.

Fabulous Christmas Concert!The Air Force Academy Band and vocalists were truly amazing.Really brought the Christmas Spirit to Colorado Springs.

Saw In This Moment here, the staff was very knowledgeable of the bands that were playing and were also very helpful. Jad a blast and it helps that IN THIS MOMENT ROCKED THE HOUSE!!!!!

Travis Tritt was awesome tonight. Excellent acoustical concert. The venue was perfect.

I loved the nutcracker. Was a great gift from my son and daughter in- law. Had a beautiful and memorable experience.

Was and always has been one of the most fantastic music ever!!!!!

Had a great time at the Chris Isaak concert. Is a small enough venue to make it very enjoyable. You can purchase wine and alcohol in the lobby. For me this was a plus. The seats are very comfortable. For anyone that is driving any distance and hasnt been here before? Park at the Pikes Peak Center. Thinking there would be a problem we tried to Park 3 blocks away. We were trapped in the underground parking facility and had trouble getting out. Not fun when the concert starting and you need to get in to the hall

Mass congested sickness. Heavy heaven heave. Thou art acts of God. And with all my heart red, for you my hatred.

I love going to the Pikes Peek Center for Colorado Springs Philharmonic concerts. Its a comfortable venue with friendly people.

Very nice venue! Seating was a little tight, but doable.

Nutcracker Ballet performance continues to be a key part of our family Christmas tradition. Everyone made our experience VIP and the performers were world-class. Thank you Pikes Peak Center - and Merry Christmas!

This is a fantastic place to go for performances. The seating is comfortable. The restrooms are clean and well maintained. The staff is all very polite and respectful. The acoustics are great and the sound system seems to be very well done. I have been to a couple of performances here and each time it is quite a pleasant experience. I would recommend attending performances here. There is a parking structure that is usually free for events. It is, however, a business and they make money from their concessions so expect that if you want to buy concessions on site that you will pay a bit more than you might elsewhere. I am not sure if they produce their own handbills or not, but the handbills they pass out have always been well done. All in all a five star experience and well earned.

Lovely concert center with GREAT choice of music in The Texas Tenors with the Colorado Springs Symphony.

Very touristy but really awesome. There is food here and the views are incredible. At the top, the elevation can be a killer so try to acclimate yourself for a day or two before heading up the mountain.

My first time here! Excellent sound, every seat is good. Ill see more shows here for sure.

Saw Black Jacket Symphony play Dark Side Of The Moon. Was wicked awesome.

You now must go through metal detectors to enter. I was told I could not come in because my purse was too big yet there were other women with larger purses that were allowed in. It depended on what line you were in. When I asked for a manager to point out that I was not allowed in with my purse yet others with larger purses were allowed in I was told to call the Manager Dot. At what point did we give up our freedoms and for what reason? In addition, if your tickets were on your phone they only had one person scanning that so there was quite a line. You are allowed to take drinks inside ( liquids that can easily spill) yet you could not bring in a pretzel purchased there. Common sense evidently has gone by the wayside. I would like to know why I was discriminated against and not allowed in with a purse that one line deemed too big. What is the definition of large? Why is it not consistent in all lines?

Amazing! Itzhak Perlman was Amazing! It was a good day for Colorado. Thank you God!

Went here to hear David Sedaris. When I got to the door, I was told my purse is too big to bring into the venue (It was of average size). No problem, even though it’s freezing outside, I bring it to my car. However- once inside the venue, I see plenty of other women with purses much larger than mine. I completely understand the rule, but please enforce it for everyone if you’re serious about it. I feel personally victimized by this, they probably singled me out because I’m Jewish.

It is a beautiful building. They have strengthened their security without notice...almost like TSA. It was a wonderful concert, but were not sure well go again.

Went to see the Russian Ballet! The show was amazing! The staff was also super helpful even though there was some problems with putting in seats right before the show. Dispite the delay the staff remained smiling and helpful. The facilities were clean and well maintained l.

Nice venue. Seating is great. Very small lobby.

Great place to see a show. Acoustics are out of this world and there isnt a bad seat in the house

Nice venue. I dont think there is a bad seat in the house. The Irish Christmas concert was amazing. Sponcered in part by the Springs Rescue Mission!

My family and I watched Coco tonight while the Philharmonic played all the music live. They were awesome. The kids, my wife and I loved it.

We came for Cirque Musica and brought our girls. We all loved it! What a great time! Thank you!

There are no bad seats, its a great concert venue! Once youre inside though, youd better hope you didnt forget anything (cash, meds, want to smoke, etc.) because they do not allow re-entry at all. George Thorogood and the Destroyers put on a fabulous show and the sound is excellent! No blasting you out with distortion but as loud as youd want it to be. They serve food and alcohol, but in my opinion they missed a great marketing option by not serving one bourbon, one scotch, and one beer as a package. While you can eat there before the show seating is very limited so youll eat standing up unless youre super early. Overall a really fun experience, ushers are present but not obtrusive unless youre REALLY cutting up. I go to this venue again and again because the experience is just that good when a band I want to see is in town.

Not LEO friendly. They wont allow law enforcement to carry firearms and dont even have their own armed security. Found this out 6 days after a fleeing suspect fired 2 shots inside a hospital nearby. I wont jeopardize my familys safety for their insecurities.

Pretty decent wine selection at reasonable prices.

Went to see a comedian there and was very pleased with the results. The act itself was phenomenal as expected and I really enjoyed the event. The event staff seemed to be friendly but not super knowledgeable, when we asked whereabouts our seats were located the gentleman directed us completely around the building to where another member redirected us. Luckily we had allotted plenty of time and this was not very inconvenient.As for the seats themselves I am 6 feet tall and still was comfortable, there was not ample foot space but it by no means was cramped where I was sitting. I would recommend this place to anyone who is trying to decide.

I went to the Philharmonics presentation of the music from the movie Coco. It was amazing!! We also had the Sip & Savor before the concert. It was delicious!

Saw BEAUTIFUL (Carole King story) off Broadway production..it was fantastic! The production was great but the Center has real problems with parking in this congested part of the city.

Great venue to see a show. Probably not a bad seat in the house. Sat in Loge row C. It was an acoustic show and the sound was very good. Setting felt intimate for this kind of show. Lines were not bad for concessions at intermission and moved quickly.

Menapause The Musical was AMAZING! Security was very unfriendly as people were asking why no water bottles could be taken in and why something so tiny as a clutch purse only. Obviously they were tired of being asked so we didnt question it and were pushed along. The sound system was of poor quality. A better quality is much needed and would be appreciated. Thank You.

Beautiful place for a venue. Seats are comfortable, however there is not a lot of room if you have long legs, so your legs get cramped up. Reminds me a bit of an airplane. Other than that, you can clearly hear and see from anywhere you choose to sit. The speakers are not so loud your eardrums blow out, even if you are standing near them, but they are loud enough to clearly hear from even the back of the stadium. Very neat experience! Would highly recommend to check out!

The Center has a small theatre for plays. Also the Colorado Springs Symphony plays there with some good deals being offered. Some concerts are free for kids age 7 and older. Great way to introduce kids to live music.

Nice auditorium! It seemed well taken care of and the staff was friendly and helpful. The seats were comfortable and the bathrooms clean. I was able to use a digital copy of my tickets to get in so that was very convenient. I would definitely go back!

Excellent Concert!! Happy New Year!

Attended several concerts/plays here and have never been disappointed whether my seat was in the Orchestra, Mezzanine, or Balcony. Food provided at the intermission was delicious and reasonably priced, staff always friendly and helpful

This theater has great acoustics for its size. The staff is very friendly and eager to be accommodating. I have been here for two separate comedy shows and exhibited mtself both times. Plus once the drinks are pouring it makes it easy to strike up a friendly conversation with the strangers beside you.

Great time with the family at the Paw Patrol live show.

I have seen many shows here ranging from comedy to classical music being played by a full orchestra. Each time the venue is clean and the employees are knowledgeable and friendly. Seats are comfortable anywhere in the theater. Must visit place in CO Spgs

I always enjoy my time, at the center, for the symphony. They also have a lot of great vendors .

On 2/13, my wife and I attended the Evita performance. We drove down from Denver and it was our first time at your venue. We really enjoyed the performers, the music and we were so happy that the acting guild provided Colorado with the opportunity to see such a fun show! Thank you so much for making our evening so special!

Weve been here twice for elaborate events and it never ceases to amaze me how great this place really is. The last concert we were at perplexed me as to how they were going to handle the crowd and demographic of people attending due to the nature of the act on stage. It went off without a hitch. I loved the seats we had and the crowd control was outstanding, without being over the top. Parking is also fantastic. For a whopping five dollars, you can park in the parking garage right next to the venue. Major bonus for a downtown event. I will go back here without hesitation for any event we want to see.

This is a wonderful venue though a bit stuffy in the lobby. There isnt enough room to move through to rest rooms or beverage counters during intermission without bumping into several attendee. Its very crowded. However, there isnt a bad seat anywhere in the auditorium. Acoustics are well balanced, lighting isnt strenuous. The staff is always helpful. Ill be attending more events here.

Loved the Philharmonic Christmas Concert. Awesome show

Great venue for the symphony, ballet, and other popular shows that tour though the Springs. Make sure you check the rules on what you can bring in - my purse was too big so I had top leave it in the car

Great venue! They bring in a lot of neat experiences and offer a great clean space that is comfortable for long shows.

Saw the nutcracker here. It was great and love the venue

Great venue and friendly staff! Tried these there and it was tasty!

Always great when you can support your local symphony and local culture. Thanks for a wonderful show.

We have had the Broadway series tickets for several years & thoroughly enjoy having a great place like the pikes peak center to be able to enjoy such entertainment. The staff is always extremely courteous and helpful. Its a phenomenal venue to enjoy concerts, plays, and other entertainment events. We love having such a place here in town instead of having to go to Denver.

1st Presbyterian Church, for Christmas concert. Wonderful place to visit.

Always good performances, safe security checks at the door and good food and drinks before the show begins!!

Needs more space in seating, but the Nutcracker ballet was amazing. They also serve booze.

We were there for a dance competition. It was great. The only thing that I would change was that there were 2 dressing rooms for the girls that were very small. So just add more dressing rooms and it would be five stars.

Great local venue to see a play or show. It is not a huge venue which I kind of like because it provides for a more intimate show. Plenty of parking in the garage but if you dont leave the show very quickly you can get stuck in the garage exiting for quite sometime. Try to park on the street in the areas surrounding the venue.

The Theresa Caputo show was outstanding! I love her even more than I did before the show! ️

We had a great time, and will do more events there...

Absolutely phenomenal place to see a concert, no matter what type of music!

Chicago was fantastic!!! The Pikes Peak center has acoustics that make for an amazing concert experience. Looking forward to more wonderful musical events for our enjoyment.

Even though we were towards the back visual and audio was very good

They have a variety of concerts that I enjoy. The only reason they get 4 stars is because they do not sell energy drinks at concessions.

Im sure it has something to do with the ease of parking, getting in and out, and just the fact that its not a giant venue, this place has never dissapointed me. The shows are amazing every time.

Always have great experiences here! The recent change in policy on purses not being allowed was a little inconvenience...BUT now I know.

Amazing creative arts space with a versatile functionality, great snack and drink options, friendly and helpful staff! Great for any kind of show.

Biggest issue with this place is their rules on purses. A normal handbag will get you sent back to your car. Its a little ridiculous. I was only able to carry my wallet in and I was uncomfortable leaving my bag in my car downtown where someone might break in trying to get it.
