The Walton Arts Center should be a dream wedding venue for any couple. The customization options are endless. The staff are amazing. The location is perfect. Their getting ready rooms will make you feel like a movie star and their beautiful stairs will give you the entrance you deserve! Youll be doing yourself a disservice if you dont at least take a look and see what they have to offer.

Great venue. They bring in some great shows to the area. Seats are good, venue is nice. My parking experience hasnt been horrible, but I could see it being challenging based on the size of the show and other Dickson St activities.

The staff at Walton Arts Center did an amazing job at my clients wedding! As a wedding coordinator, it is such a value added when a venue provides such excellent service for their events. They have multiple spaces for brides and grooms to choose from with a wide range options depending on your tastes. They provided tables, chairs, sound techs, bartenders and security. You cant go wrong choosing Walton Arts Center for next event or wedding!

Stellar line ups with great variety this newly remodeled facility brings you assorted entertainment choices that give a new meaning to something for everyone. Ive seen the Nutcracker ballet (not for me!) and a few Broadway productions, many of the music offerings have been excellent. Not a bad seat in the house, the staff is helpful and respectful and it wont cost you an arm and a leg.Its a great opportunity to put on a nice pair of slacks and a collared shirt and go out!1 to 10 I give this a consistent 10. If youve never been, go see what its about...

I love that Walton Arts brings high quality theater, music and arts events to Northwest Arkansas! Having moved here from LA, I still can feel connected to the music and arts scene in an atmosphere that is affordable, family friendly, a little funky and with so much less traffic. Its a huge win! Catch a show, you wont be disappointed!

A Christmas Story was excellent. And the environment is top notch. Would definitely love to go back. Thinking of buying season tickets after this experience.

Its free. Lovely natural environment. Clever presentation of art in thematic style; Amy Sherard and American contemporary Indian exhibit are excellent. Architecture is adaptive and creates very airy and singular space - a contemporary Channonceau.

A wonderful theatre! The ushers are genuinely friendly and seats are easy to find. The foyer is clean and has plenty of seating for the intermission, and drink prices are reasonable.

Review №14

Its a terrific facility with no really bad seats. I realize that a lot of the staff is volunteers, but the doors were not opened until 6:40 for a 7:00 show, and keeping the paying customers in the lobby that long, I believe, contributed to too many people still taking seats and blocking vision after the show began.

The WAC always brings new and amazing shows to NWA community. Thank you and keep up the amazing things you do!

This is a beautiful (recently remodeled) performing Arts Center. They offer a wide venue of performing Arts from Broadway Shows to unique Artistic Dance, from Childrens Theatre to local performing theatre works. They also have music, small specialized performances and offer space for private events like weddings & catered business conferences. Something for all tastes during each season. My pictures are from inside the new Atrium, at the front entry.

Small enough that there arent really any terrible seats, but large enough to draw decent performances. Baum Walker Hall at the Walton Arts Center is similarly sized to the Brady in Tulsa, but more modern and attractive. Typically hosting classy performers, you can see things ranging from a symphony orchestra to a comedian or rock band here.

I visited Walton Arts Center on a field trip and saw Charlottes Web. It was fantastic! The staff was friendly and helpful and the production was amazing!! It was very entertaining and engaging which is important for a group of second graders.

Escape to Margaritaville is a GREAT production from beginning to end. I wasnt sure what to expect but the combination of the plot with the music was almost as though the songs were written for this musical. Captivating and funny. If you havent seen it you should.

Love it when Broadway comes to Fayetteville. Comfy and relatively affordable chance to see great shows. They really did a great job fixing up the outside of the theater. The inside...is fine.

The latest play that came through The Play That Goes Wrong was probably on my top 5 favorite list of plays iv got to see. How ever I can honestly say it was the funniest play that I have ever seen. Great place to go for entertainment.

A great theater in a lovely town that makes you feel like you are getting ready to go to a Broadway show in NY. This place is bigger than you expect once you get inside. They offer a variety of different shows and plays worthy of such a stage. I cant wait to attend the theater again

Very nice venue for the performing arts. Wide variety of offered shows from symphony to on stage plays and live music bands. Venue is always clean and up to date on technology.

Review №29

Great and fun place to see many musicals. My only gripe is that their signature cocktail drinks for each musical has been disappointing in flavor, but I am also not a fan of strong alcoholic tastes. In the past, the subscription was the way to go to see all of the higher-rated musicals, but next year (2020), the most highly-anticipated musicals dont see to be gated behind subscription purchases, which is really nice.The theater seating is elevated enough so that every seat has a clear view of the stage, which is much appreciated, compared to many concert venues.

The Walton Arts Center is lovely. The staff is very friendly and quick to help. Soda, wine and coffee is available. Was able to pick up tickets for the event at will call. Parking was inexpensive across the street. Plenty of food venues around the center to get there early and have a nice dinner before the show.

The Walton Art Center is a truly unique entertainment venue, rare in cities as small as those in NW Arkansas. We are very fortunate to have this theater auditorium that presents concerts, plays, and symphonies all year around. Moreover, the WAC has branched out to provide an outdoor stage, the AMP, that holds concerts starring world renowned musicians and bands. Thank you!!

Many thanks to the staff at Walton Arts Center for accommodating my friend and I at a concert on 9 December. Neither of us can comfortably stand for long periods of time. The staff was able to re-locate us to seats in front row where we could stay seated and concentrate on enjoying the show. This was my first time at WAC and Im so impressed with how courteous and willing to listen the staff is.

This place has an elegant, clean feel. We bought our tickets online so we had to pick them up from the front. In doing so the staff was helpful and genuine.We arrived an hour early to get a decent parking spot. While we waited they have beverages and snack candy. Including coffee, Cokes, and even alcohol. My husband and I had a wonderful experience here. We will be coming back!

Wonderful venue for NWA. They bring on many great shows. Most performances are done very well. Staff is always friendly though a little slow at the concession areas. Could use more restrooms as well. I have not had a bad seat anywhere in the main theater.

Review №82

I love everything about Walton Art center except for the fact that they did not connect the parking garage to the building so you have to walk out around the building in rainy weather or cold weather to get into the building after youve parked. That wouldnt be too bad of a problem for young people but for older people its not ideal.

Not much to say...a lot was spent on the revamp. Some like it, some say its just curb appeal. Now if the rest of Dickson Street could follow suit.
