Super easy to get to and out of. Caught an evening show and had nothing but great interactions with staff and friendly volunteers. Not a huge amphitheater, but the acoustics were top notch and the seats were comfy (for all-weather seats). Will call folks were smiling and helpful, concessions were reasonable and tasty. Beers were cold and the buckets thereof were a great e at value. Would not hesitate one second to attend another night out there.
What an awesome show at the Arvada Center! Come From Away. A story based on planes that were unable to come into the United States on 9/11 from abroad. 7,000 people in 39 planes were diverted to Newfoundland in a small town called Gander. The whole show was a musical so well done it kept our interest the entire time. Things you would never think about. And how this small town enfolded all of the people & took care of them during chaotic, emotional, emergency a situation.
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
8/6/25 I took my Mom for an evening with Robert Cray. Your staff was quite pleasant informing us where to go and where to sit. Kira was an absolute delight! We enjoyed the picnic basket I ordered online. It was very delicious. Nick Clark performed a good music set! Robert Cray played awesome and the sound apex is incredible. We appreciate your Kira & staff- friendly and fun. This was an exceptional venue to enjoy a concert w/ my Mom- Strawberry
Thank you,

I recently took the Fearless Watercolor Class with Marylin Wells, and it was amazing! Marylin was such a good instructor with amazing talent. She created a safe, joyful space! I highly recommend, and am excited to try another course at The Arvada Center.
