What a beautiful spot to see a show!

Love the local selection of drinks.

We parked at the Edmonton Public Library parkade which is a short walk away. $10 after 6pm

Would be nice to have more garbage bins for empty cups at the exits. At the end of the show as folks were leaving they just dropped on any flat surface they could find.

Bathrooms were relatively clean, and well stocked.

Awesome place and great venues are held here!
I was a bit taken back that purses and bag had to be coat checked as the site never mention bag sizes and having to check in these items. It is nice to know now.
I can not wait for another event

Best place in Edmonton for a night of music.great acoustic, beautiful architecture and overall a great experience.

Not a bad seat in the whole house! Sit in the middle so you don't have to turn your head during the concert!

Worst experience I’ve ever had going to a performance. Speedy Service was at the top of the list for worst part of the experience.it took 15 minutes for the bar to serve 3 people. The people in line missed the entire beginning of the performance. I will never go back there ever, even if the tickets were free. What a disappointment.

This is an amazing place. Never pass up the opportunity to see a concert here as the acoustics are second to none.

It is a good and fairly busy place in terms of scheduled concerts and other events. We conveniently parking at the city hall underground parkade. They do organ so for somebody who loves this type of music a wonderful place in the city to be

Great venue, really good acoustics, comfortable seating. Except for the lack of staff during the intermission it was just about perfect.

Gorgeous! Fabulous sound quality. Lovely rest rooms. Parking adequate. Inner core of Edmonton is under construction so really messy at the moment.not normally like this though.

Great location for our grad.
I've been to winspear center for a music event and the acoustics in the building are amazing.

The concert was wonderful! The performance was enhanced by the conductors comments and the addition of a choir and a soloist. The seats on the main floor were awful. Truly uncomfortable and narrow as perceived by a 6' and 260 lb man with a leg injury. The backs of the chairs were slanted @ about 160 degrees which caused you to slide forward or forced you to lean forward at the shoulders. I would appreciate suggested seating for plus size people or taller people and gladly pay a premium. Why not tell people what size people the seats would fit comfortably rather than have a disappointing experience.

The acoustics are phenomenal. The seats are very narrow and I was uncomfortable the entire time or I would have given 5 stars.

Wonderful experience to come watch the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra 10+ years after I had the pleasure of working three seasons as a front of house staff member! Beautiful acoustics; the Winspear is definitely built for sound.

Watched Chris Hadfield put on an amazing presentation on exploration. The facility is amazing and always has interesting performances.

I always enjoy the shows here, the last one was very good for families with kids! Very good music and performance and the prices are always affordable for a family! Will keep taking my kids here if they have more shoes like the last one!

What a truly superb facility. Astounding acoustics and a very well appointed centre. Great lighting. Love coming here and it feels like a cozy welcoming personal venue. I wish that they could attract even more artists. Regardless of ticket price, I would pay to see the bigger acts come to this facility. Don't hesitate attending any event here. Well worth it.

Difficult to see performance when someone is in front of you. The row we were sitting in wasn't higher than the row in front of us. My seat was beside a large speaker not good.

My first time at the Winspear was pretty great! Went to see Bob The Drag Queen perform there.had amazing seats in the front row and the performance was fantastic! Thank you Winspear for having a diverse group of entertainers you book there keep it up!

there were some communication issues prior to the event regarding the logistics of Meet & Greet that could have been better handled. I'm pretty sure that falls on the production company though

The best music hall in Canada (only rival would be the Chan Centre in Vancouver, but the Winspear is considerably bigger and the Chan doesn't have an organ.) The ESO is a very good orchestra, and the facility hosts numerous touring artists of any number of genres. Good restaurants are starting to creep closer and closer (check out Rice Howard Way nearby.) Good parking in the "Library Parkade". Unbelievable LRT access right in the basement!

We attended the Celtic Journey concert. It was so good. The guest soloist was fantastic. It was fun too.
30 April 2019 9:48
I got to go in front of the stage which was an area that I have never been in before. I was also stayed right near members of the orchestra.

Always the best in acoustics for any performance. Well done Edmonton Flamenco festival for last night's flamenco dance experience!

Visited to hear the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. Very uplifting music with delightful acoustic from the building. A very good friend asked me to accompany him and was I very delighted to revisit the ESO

A great music hall in the heart of Edmonton. The concert hall has great vantage points from all seats. There are really no bad seats. You can even tent out the venue for special events such as weddings. The box office is very helpful. The entire venue is accessible for all ages.

Great acoustics and very nice inside. Access underground from the pedway is very convenient for parking. Food and beverage service is top notch as well. Only downside is the seats could be a little more cozy.

The centre is easy to get to, having numerous transit and parking lots around. The performances vary in nature offering something for everyone. There are food and beverage services. The seating and acoustics are very good for the space.

The building is gorgeous, the seating in the theater was super comfortable and the acoustics were great. We were there for a poetry reading and it was the perfect stage for it. There was also coffee available (both standard and specialty drinks) as well as desserts.

Went to Half Moon Run awhile ago and just saw Rupi Kaur's performance. Absolutely beautiful stage, amazing sound, great lighting, and helpful staff.

The Windspear is a beautiful building. Right now however, it is covered in construction which was frustrating with downtown traffic and trying to find parking.
20 December 2018 19:57
Beautiful theatre with excellent seating options. We attended to see the ESO, and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Wonderful experience.

The Winspear is a really great venue itself. However, the construction on the road makes it a disaster to get to. There is a parking structure across the road which is great once you find it but then we had to cross the road in a temporary pedestrian cross which was covered in mud.it muddied my shoes and gown: (Best to take a cab there right now until road construction or whatever construction is completed.
