We went to a car show here. Saw 2 Munsters movies in their beautiful theater. Seats are small and low. They had small bands and even had retro womens hair salon and a guys barber. Good thing to start of the year.

I cant say enough about Five Flags. We have had the privilege of jumping our dogs at the World Championship here since 2013 and cant imagine going anywhere else. We hope to see many more years here.

Great venue with lots of history. We saw Jim McDonough and his Christmas show. It was outstanding. We sat in one of the balcony seats, which was great. The show and venue were excellent. Weve done this for over a decade and continue to look forward to this annual tradition. Thank you.

Over 135 miles away but 5 seasons is well worth the trip. Thank you for your efforts in keeping the retro rewind car show alive! We go EVERY YEAR! outstanding venue!

Tried to add a ticket to a purchase - Ticket Masters site is not working. As a business establishment you are there to serve your customers. Leaving them with no options is not an okay solution. If you are hosting an event - you should have the ability to sell the tickets yourself as well.

Seats on floor way too close together. I was squished between 2 large ladies. It was miserable. I luckily found a seat in the stands which was so much better.

The theatre itself is beautiful and has a very cozy feeling. They use phone pouches to secure your phone which is strange but i get it. The only downside is the seats are small. Felt very cramped.

Simple venue with easy access. Convenient parking on street or parking garage that usually waives the fee on show nights!Mar 2018 - Chicago played for over 2hrs, they were great!Feb 2018 - Bill Engvall kept us laughing2017 - Comedy Party w/ Pauly Shore, Tom Green, and Harland Williams. (Bobby Lee was wasnt there)Good show. All 3 were equally hilarious.

Awesome evening at the circus. Very clean and respected place.

The Cirque du Soleil Christmas show brought us here for the first time. What impressed me was the ease and location of free ramp parking nearby, the care they took for our safety when we entered, the versatility if the space depending on the size of the group, and the convenience of many places to get a bite to eat nearby. Growing up in Minneapolis, I was grateful that even though we came to town pulling a trailer with just 45 minutes to showtime, we were able to get a sit-down Chinese dinner, find parking at both places, stop at the restroim and get to our seats with time to spare. Phenomenal. Would never have happened in Minneapolis!

A very unique concert and event venue. The restored theater is spectacular, and the exhibition hall works for all kinds of larger events. One of Dubuques crown jewels.

Nice venue with good selection of concerts and activities with reasonable prices. The drinks are pricey as in any venue, but loved the blinky cups! The sound isnt the greatest but the set up is nice.. Small enough that you are still close in the back seats.

Went for wrestling river rumble, just absurd not enough seating sport caster announced to people we couldnt save our seat for wrestlers, tried to take boys down to mats to wrestle people kept trying to steal our seats because announcer kept saying if no one is in the seat, seats are up for grabs very unprofessional, fighting among parents do to coming back from wrestling people would throw kids clothes and backpacks on floor and take the seats will not come back here will not wrestle in those tournaments by those promotors. Absolutely just a horrible experience.

Review №65

As much as I have enjoyed a few events here, rules are out right ridiculous. Some events people want to stand up (WWE) we kept getting yelled at. I couldnt hold up my 5 year old to see anything, you cant do that either. Then, people in front of us were doing the same and no one said anything. Very frustrating. Then to top it off, we were back row, not blocking anyones view. It will be awhile before we attend another event here, if ever again.

Review №66

Always enjoy the Expos and concerts here. They have a new food menu that we got to sample and it was very good. They are striving for good shows to come. Parking is usually good. They just got a new sign. This is a good venue for entertainment in dubuque.

Review №80

Great shows there if they schedule them right. For months back in 2013 the event ads in the Telegraph Herald said that dog show was going to be there, just as in previous years. Then the day before the dog show was to go on there was an apologetic ad in the aforementioned paper (TH) that do to a scheduling conflict a local golfing expo was going on instead of the dog show. There have been no dog shows since 2012. Big error on five flags.

Review №89

I have been to several events here and have always come away satisfied. They went through a long period of not having much going on but the current management is doing everything it can to bring in true headlining acts. Im glad they are progressive and want to bring events in that appeal to everyone in the Tri State area. I think the future is bright and am hopeful that Ill be staying in Dubuque more and more for concerts.
