Great to see other certified tour ambassadors who cannot only assist you with the event but also assist you with where to go and what to do around town which is always a plus. The Palace Theater is in a great location to wear if the weather permits you can take a stroll through downtown Columbus. Event parking is generally $10 and on Sunday on the street parking is free

First time visit. We went to see Magical Cirque Christmas. We all enjoyed the show. We sat in 210, 212, 214, 216 view was geat. There was no one in front of us so plenty of leg room (61). Parking was not to bad $10 bucks. The garage needs to see about getting a few extra pay stations. We parked in the garage behind the palace.

Loved it here great place for plays movies and events great to take pictures of the historical monuments inside

Saw Rhett & Link live in concert this month! Needless to say, it was the best experience of my life!!! Palace Theater was very easy to spot with several parking options nearby. Beautiful exterior and entryway. Even though the line extended all the way around 4 sides of the building, people were entered quickly and efficiently. Ushers were especially helpful with directing us where to go and finding our seats. The theater was cavernous with many good seats available. I was in a balcony and still had a great view of the stage. Sound and lights during the show were great. You wont be disappointed with Palaces service! Check out Rhett and Link on YouTube, just search Good Mythical Morning!

An amazing night seeing Nick Masons Saucerful of Secrets (Pink Floyd), my daughters first concert. A well-kept gem of a venue. Staff was pleasant. Was clean and eloquent. Drink prices were fair. Not a bad seat in this house. Sound was stellar. Parking beside in rear was $10(cheap as hell?!) And at the end, doors were opened to the street, my car a mere 20 yards away at best. Perfect experience from start to finish!

The opulence on the Palace Theatre is Breathtakingly beautiful. From the moment you walk in until you leave your are surrounded by beauty.The chandeliers are magical.

This is a beautiful theater! Had great acoustics and comfortable seating. We had a wonderful experience! The staff was great and they had cash bars available for refreshments. Plenty of bathrooms including individual options.

Nice venue but our favorite venue to see musicals and comedians in Columbus is the Ohio Theatre.

Beautiful venue for the production of Mamma Mia that we saw. Courteous and very helpful staff. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. One caution about seating - the seats on the far edges of the main floor are located such that it is difficult to see the entire stage. Even a couple of seats in from the edges are much better.

They dont sell popcorn. The seats are close together and you dont get much leg room so when someone walks in front of you, you just have to stand up. But for a theater built in 1920s, the place is fantastic. There is not a bad seat in the house. If you get a chance to see an event there, do it. You wont be disappointed (unless the performers suck, but thats not the theaters fault :D )

Always a joy to be in this beautiful, historic theater. The sound caries well and the seats are comfortable, even if they are close together. Its nice that drinks purchased in the lobby are allowed to be taken into the theater while youre watching the show.

First visit tonight to see magical cirque Christmas. Beautiful old theater. Staff were very friendly, seating comfortable. Had a wonderful time! Cant wait to go back! Parking was close & easy access as well.

Great historic venue, perfect for small rock shows. Most every seat is a good one, our front-of-loge seats were excellent. Lots of assistance available. The second show weve seen here, I hope they book someone else I want to see.

Great place for seeing a show which does not require an orchestral accompaniment. Really, any seat in the first half of either the mezzanine or balcony is good, unless one needs to see facial expressions on performers faces. Staff is always friendly and helpful, as well!

Love this theater, we have seen several performances.The check in process is always smooth, the restrooms are large and kept very clean for all the people that come and go.The ushers are amazing and take the time to assist everyone. Seats could be a little bigger, to make it more comfortable, I know it is a theater and not my nice big couch but you pay a lot to attend and a little more comfort would be great.

Such a beautiful old theater!! Reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is I have long legs and there isnt much leg room in the seats.

Ive seen several shows at the Palace, and Ive enjoyed them all. The theatre began its life as a movie house and developed into the performing arts space it is today. The theatre was recently renovated and restored. It is beautiful.

Have been here for a few shows and its always such a great experience. Even the high balcony seats have good views. The ushers and staff are always so welcoming and helpful. Saw Rent 20th anniversary tour here last week and had an awesome time! Pro tip: use the basement bathrooms if the 2nd floor lines are too long. Lots of stalls!

Awesome history, in an active theater. Traffic and parking has a lot to be desired of.

This place was nice and clean. We quickly got in a seated. The drink line was long but its something we should have expected. The show was good but the seats were super small.

Gorgeous! but no elevator.

Beautiful theater! My first visit didnt disappoint!

First floor level has very comfortable seats, and the ushers were friendly. The security guards walking up and down the isles on patrol during the whole performance after they wanded everybody at the door was ridiculously distracting. Also, never able to get a beverage as the lines were so long people were still being seated 40 minutes into the performance

The Palace Theater is beautiful and a wonderful piece of history. The sound quality of our commedian was perfect. The entry point into the theater becomes overcrowded from people trying to buy tickets at the booth. Meanwhile those who already have tickets have to shove their way through that crowd. Also of note the seats are slightly tight and uncomfortable. Im an average height/weight size but if youre not or with someone who is over the average they will be crowding into your space. Overall The Palace Theater makes for a special night out despite the inconveniences.

I liked this place but at least one usher in particular needs to get a job somewhere else. She gave us a program and when we asked for another she was reluctant to give it to us. CMON , we paid 200 dollars to sit in the front row. You can give us 2 paper programs!!!!

Great little theatre, we saw a Cirque show there. While not as big of a production as the one we saw at Quicken Loans it was still a great show. Not a bad seat on the whole place as far as I am concerned.

The Palace Theatre was an amazing place to see Vince Gill. The sound quality was great not to mention the overall beauty of the restoration.

Jim Jefferies was great, but very poor setup for traffic control inside and 25 minute lines for drinks and snacks. Could have been set up much more efficiently.

This is a great place to see medium size shows. Ive seen comedy, movies, magic, and circus shows here. There really isnt a bad seat in the place, although the seats are pretty tightly packed and the aisle between rows is nonexistent, which I guess isnt that unusual for this type of place.

Very good seating. Went for concert with Robin Thicke and Fantasia. The concert was fantastic. I was very pleased with the content of the concert. My first time seeing them in concert. I would recommend this concert, if they are coming to your city. You wont be disappointed.

A good theatre. Great sightlines. I dont like the stairs at the entrance but cant really do much with that. Other opinions?

The theater is beautiful, acoustics are great. Every show Ive seen here has been wonderful and the various places Ive sat have all had good views of the stage. My complaint is the seats in the balcony. If youre over 57 you will be uncomfortable. If you are over 6 you will need to do some serious contortions to avoid kneeing the persons head in front of you. The main floor has perfect leg room. If youre tall and trying to save money, go for the back row of the balcony (U I think). It has extra space.

Its a old out dated theater if you have hip or knee issues I would recommend not going to this theater because there are a lot of steps to climb to get into the arena area unless you purchase floor seats. The Palace Theater located in Cleveland Ohio its far better than the one in Columbus. The seats are too close to each other if you are a large individual you will not be comfortable sitting in those little seats.

Nice place and it was a good show I watched. Just make sure you arrive super early if you want a drink.. They only had two small carts that had a line 30 people deep. I would have liked something but I was not going to miss part of the show for it.

This theatre is very unique and beautiful. The wife and I watched My Favorite Murder perform their podcast here. It was s wonderful time!

Im afraid the Cream tribute concert was a little disappointing. It was offspring of the original band: Ginger Bakers son, Jack Bruces son, and Eric Claptons nephew.  They did the old songs, but not that many because they broke into jam sessions for long periods of time. They are gifted musicians, but I went to hear the old songs, not watch them frolic with their guitars.  But it was a fun night out.

Very lovely venue. My major complaint is that the seats are not built for modern humans. I am above average height for a woman and my knees were touching the seats in front of me which made for a very long show. Every time Ive been here Ive been seated in the nosebleeds and even though its towards the top of the venue the view is still amazing. There truly isnt a bad seat in the house and I highly recommend a visit, just watch out for your knees!

Easy access; nice theatre. The bar looks nice but I was not willing to wait for the incredibly slow line to move (would have missed probably 15min of the show if I had not left the line even though I arrived 20 minutes prior to show start).

Its a beautiful theater and I normally love it there but at last nights performance there was a door somewhere in the back of the theater that was creaking so loudly it was beyond distracting. We had floor seats towards the back and the door creaked periodically throughout the whole performance! It was ridiculous! Dont let people use it until it gets fixed! Common sense! I hope they get it fixed soon. It was totally unacceptable!

Just got home from another amazing show at the palace. The only reason I couldnt give five stars is with all the security inside the building they should consider more outside. My wife and I were met between the doors by a young lady that seed petrified asking if we were going to the garage but we parked in a lot on the other side. She explained that a pan handler followed her in the garage before the show and he was back out front on the way out. I told her I would walk her to the garage. When we exited the Palace the man screamed at us Hey hey and other language I wont repeat. We walked her in the opposite direction down the alley by the performers buses and he followed. We got to the garage and made sure she was around other people. But there needs to move security to make people comfortable.

Beautiful old theater. Decent acoustics and sightlines. Entry and exit pathways are a bit tight, so plan to arrive early 30+ min to make it easier.

Beautiful place for concert. There were a lot of people attending but they did a great job of getting everyone seated in an orderly fashion. Leaving the theater was equally organized. Highly recommend. My only question was how early must one get there before a concert to get your seat and a half an hour worked for us easily

Black Violin!!! #ALLTHAT #YOUHADTOBETHERE

Wow is this place beautiful! I saw Swan Lake performed by the Russian ballet and it was magical! The staff are very friendly and accepting of everyone! Dressed nice or just going casual this is a wonderful place to take a date or your kids.

Beautiful building, orchestra and dancers. Had a wonderful evening.

My wife and I saw Beauty and the Beast here last weekend, great show, great venue. The staff was excellent. Seats were Mezzanine Row E, 117 and 119, yes they are side by side.

Great venue! Kids loved the show. The biggest drawback of this theater is parking options. Other than that, we love coming here.

Historical building with updated comfort of air conditioning. Beautiful space, lots of room, majority of staff was wonderful. Cons include: if youre a plus size person the seats are snug, theres no elevator and maybe its just me but with the carpet being on everything makes it hard to identify if you are on level ground or steps.

Older people should not go to this venue. We just saw Vince Gill in concert. The intimate venue made for a wonderful concert. The architecture and history make going to the Palace worthwhile. However this venue is not set up for older people. The isles are far too narrow for people with walkers and canes and also the bathrooms are in the basement. You have to go down flights of stairs to get to the bathrooms. I saw many older people struggling to get to the bathroom and then back up stairs again. Also for some reason the temperature was not regulated it was very very warm.

Ive seen two shows here and I enjoyed both shows I love the theater, it keeps and maintains a very historical / classic look that makes you feel really special when youre in there.

Staff was great about keeping the lines moving while entering, but immediately after the show there was a lot of bottle necking, and being stuck in relatively narrow hallways (narrow relative to the amount of people moving through) with no staff intervention. The facility itself is very nice and clean, but the theatre room was really cold during the show, to the extent that most patrons kept their winter gear on. Good experience overall, but the stand-still foot traffic afterwards felt like a fire hazard, and the auditorium/theatre temperature could have been warmer.

My best girls and I saw Bethel Worship at The Palace tonight. The building is beautiful...regal even. The view of the stage was fabulous despite our seats being quite far back. All staff we interacted with were very accommodating.

Loved it here... great seats, nice staff... we were definitely LIVING OUR BEST LIVES....

I did not have a good experience the last time I was at the Palace Theater. They didnt let people enter the theatre until ~15 min before the show was scheduled to start, so people were lined up down the block standing in the rain.Once the doors opened, it was a mad rush to be seated. No fun. The theater was extremely warm, there was an unscheduled 15 min break (I think because the lead performer was super hot, in a suit and under lots of lights).The lines to the restrooms and for water are so long, there isnt enough time during intermission.The worst part was getting out of the garage at the end of the show. We had one payment box with two long lines of people waiting to pay to get out of the garage. There needs to be more of those machines or if there are more, place signs on the street level saying where they are located. It was a long night and got home late. I lived the show (Jersey Boys) but wish I could have been more comfortable.

Staff were helpful but I thought it was handicapped accessible and it was not. Inside the front door theres a large set of steps. Eventually staff found a more suitable seat. The website I picked out seats from wasnt clear.

A grand old theater. Some thought should be given to exit patterns. But worthy of return visit! Ive been coming here since the mid 1970s.

Beautiful Place. Watching OU was amazing.

Loved Dave Koz and Melissa Manchester !!

Such a great place to see a show. Close to bars and restaurants for a before or after show meal and/or cocktail. Drink prices inside arent too crazy. Staff is always friendly and attentive.

Excellent venue for live comedy and concerts. Arrive early for sold out shows because the bar lines get very long very fast

Sat in floor seats, they were perfect. Staff was friendly and helpful. Clean, and elegant. Love it here.

Always enjoyable to see shows here. The only complaint I have over some other venues is that it gets very congested very quickly. Very clean with courteous staff and just a great venue for shows.

Went to see the Jersey Boys and the show was great. We parked under the state house 5 dollars collected when you enter which made leaving quick.

Beautiful venue. Very helpful staff. Reasonably priced parking near by. And Bert Kreischer was amazing.

Beautiful setting for any performance that you might attend. I have never had a seat that I was unhappy with and I am short so Im usually worried about that when buying tickets.

We absolutely loved the experience! Doing the laundry of a famous, down to earth, highly intelligent individual was the best feeling ever! The palace theatre was very clean, wonderful staff as usual, and great vibe!!! Thanks so much... Highly recommended if youd want a large enough crowd and yet not to large for the anxiety too kick in. I love this place!

Excellent atmosphere took of two stars cause the bathroom is down two flights of stairs!!!

Beautiful place. Great sound. Large viewing screens.

Great theatre. Wish there was better parking nearby.

The sound system was impressive, no matter where the seat is. As far as i saw it, virtually all seats could have full view to stage. Even though it is pretty well kept, some areas do show its age, revealing its unique legacy as the Columbus city icon. Not much alternatives for parking, the garage next to it likely the best choice, its still reasonably priced for evening threater events. Tried buying tickets on site (to avoid any fees) was my worst experience, its box office opening hours were real short, easiest is to pay a bit extra to buy online -- amazingly, while its ticket office was closed and had a sign referring to the CAPA ticket office two blocks away, i checked and found tickets there were more expensive than online plus convenient fee.

Awesome Experience Ive got to see 112 Guy Next Genuine and the comedian G Thing Awesome time the staff and crew was Awesome and it was just a fun night Very live and again I loved it

Love this place! Always clean and fun to explore

Great acustics for live music. Not a bad seat in the place. Historic building, gracious staff.

The employees were very helpful and friendly. Large crowd but employees get everyone in and in their seats without problems. Beautiful bathrooms. Very beautiful Theater.

Great sound and great visibility of stage even from the back of the balcony. drink lines were very long, but the bartenders were very cool.

Awesome theater! Beautiful inside, go early and enjoy the gorgeous decor. Seating was spacious and comfortable. Not a bad seat in the house. The staff were very friendly and made seeing William Shatner even more enjoyable. If you get a chance to go, then dont miss out. Parking is available very close in a nice parking garage. One of the best places downtown!

Great atmosphere inside and the design of the building is beautiful. The theater was renovated recently. It was done well and the seats were comfortable. The musical we watched was excellent. Easy to park and only $10 for the event. Starbucks and several dining options are close. Great for adults and families. Doors open 60 minutes to the show with being allowed to your seats at 30 minutes till. Drinks and snacks are available.

Wonderful place to watch a show. Im a fan of the loge section, great site lines and sound is good. A definite place to visit and enjoy a show

Great small theater. The chairs are comfortable and the sight lines are good

Great staff great show

The staff is very professional and courteous. The venue is very clean, and well maintained. The seating is very cramped though, at least it is in the balcony seating.

Beautiful, old, historic and wonderful place to watch a concert or theatre show. Watched Straight No Chaser there and they were AMAZING, the best acapella group ever!!!!!!!

A beautiful theater thats easy to get in and out of with quality shows.

Palace theatre is a great venue for concerts. Beautifully redone, the crystal chandeliers just sparkle, the new wall paper, curtains and seats were lovely. We went to hear the Celtic women and they had such a wonderful program. The time went way to fast.

Best Theater in town to see a show and get that theater experience.

Nice place to see a concert and meet up with old friends

Great classical theater. Needs updating tho

The event was nice. However to cramped up next to people. It was like sitting on top of each other.

Bert Kreishers standup comedy show was absolutely hilarious! Very funny! And the theater is gorgeous.

We visited this beautiful theater to see Nick Offerman - the place was run very well, seats were comfortable (even for tall people - Im 6ft 4in).

Nice show chairs too close u have get up everytime someone moved out. No elevators. Not good place for handicapped or seniors. Min. Lights on floor.

Been here almost every year for 6 years and always happY. So beautiful

Great atmosphere, wonderful ambiance. The sound quality is great. Sat in the Mezzanine, had a great view of the stage.

Great venue, great personnel, awesome place to see a great show

Bethel Music Concert. The sound of Gods people in this place was amazing! Praise His name forever!

Great place love coming here

Great theater, but be prepared to grab drinks when you arrive as the bar is right as you walk in and the lines can grow rather quickly.

The staff is always helpful, the shows are great. The ambiance is fantastic. But if you are looking for comfortable seating, you won’t get it here. The legroom is a joke and the seats are very narrow.

The seats were very comfortable. Lots of leg room. Nice and wide. Nice bars and bathrooms. Excellent ushers and good parking. Everything was great! Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Remodeled in 2018 the seats have more leg room and width! I had stopped attending shows at the palace years ago due to the size of the seating areas, but now at 64 and 300 lbs I fit comfortably. Staff was great and I think the usher to guest ratio is 1:1...Great acoustics, even when the show went unplugged acapella you could still hear perfectly in the back. The wonderfull thing about the palace is its intimacy, with its smaller size you can se great from every seat.
