Rated 4.6 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating Recently went to a concert and my companion had a blast. The venue was wonderful and the bathrooms were clean. The staff was attentive and kind. It is accessible for people with reduced mobility as well, they have a ramp and elevators. 10/10.

5 Star Rating One of my favorite venues. We saw The Musical Box, an amazing show! I took no other photos of the show. Few people did, the respect for the art was high, in the room. My review of the artist will be posted in their feeds. PDA, we will be back! The washrooms are nice and clean, the security was good.

4 Star Rating We have been there a few times and it’s amazing. Lovely and magical. The nutcracker was very captivating. Also went for Game ON. My only complaint is they do not offer changes/refund/ credits or insurance so when I got sick, they gave me literally no option, and that’s very frustrating considering their tickets aren’t cheap.

3 Star Rating It's an underground maze connecting different buildings and the metro. Beautifully designed building with various interactive exhibits. Some are accessible after you pay for admission. Kudos to creativity! Some additional kiosks could be opened up - long queue to get in.
