We loved the symphony!!! That was our first time that we came here to watch the symphony and we will definitely be back!! Miranda helped me and my girls out tremendously and made our experience just 'oh so wonderful' she went over and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and knew how things worked there. We are truly grateful!!

Went to many events at the High Museum of Art (which is part of the whole Woodruff Arts Center) including monthly jazz nights, temporary exhibitions, and artisan markets. Always had a great time! They put a lot of thought into everything. At an early exhibition opening the director was walking through the lobby talking to people and he asked us with genuine interest if we like it and how they can attract more young people. I recommend the dual membership, which is very very affordable!

Lots of variety here. The Atlanta Symphony has varied programming, and the museum has an eclectic collection with broad appeal. In addition to the symphony and museum, it has the Alliance Theatre, and weekly improv and acting classes for kids of various ages. There is also a reasonably good restaurant, for this kind a facility. It’s small, and expensive, but a lot of museums I’ve been to have really bad food. This is pretty good. Parking is in a structure behind the campus. It costs $10 during weekdays, and either $15 or $20 evenings and weekends depending on the event. Valet is $25.

Being only my second time at this venue I have little other than brief impressions. The campus is clean and easy to navigate. Bathrooms are plentiful, if alittle out of the way. Food and beverage are handled by third-party contractors, so that is luck of the draw; however, it's fairly standard fare, a small selection of drinks (both hard and soft), and a similarly sized offering of snacks. I very much enjoyed both of the productions I saw here, so I would recommend this venue if you are in the mood for theatrical arts.

Big opening beautiful but sort of cold feeling. I love museums but the Museum's I am most fond of have a certain warmth even if they're very modern. I am absolutely not saying that this Museum doesn't have its share of treasures inside of it. Just the opposite. It has many wonderful pieces. But you have to search for them.

Love this place. Love when they have the piano player getting down with the awesome vibes. Vincent Levy Bryant is an awesome artist, go check him out.

Great company! Wonderful personnel! Also, they care about the health and sanitation of their workers and patrons by implementing effective cleaning measures within their facility.

The High Museum of Arts is amazing, with an impressive collection and very good temporary exhibitions (we saw the Andy Warhol temporary exhibition, excelent). Free Museum admission on the second Sunday of every month, but arrive early (noon) or be prepared for a very long line. Good cafeteria, with vegetarian options.

Great exhibits and a variety of events to attend. Overall, a wonderful experience and lots of great deals depending on the day and time of the month. Plus if you are a Bank of America card holder you can get in free on the first weekend of each month. I have never been disappointed when attending an event at the Woodruff Arts Center.

Certainly not a bad place to go with to enjoy an array or artistic mediums. From live music, exhibits in the museum, events that bring in local artists, and more, this place offers a great time. The museum itself can be delightful, or irritating at times. Just like many other art exhibits, you end up surrounded by others who walk from picture, painting, sculpture, etc., taking 3-5 seconds taking a photograph with their phone and then walking away. Not to sound petty, but this does begin to get in the way of actually enjoying the art. Also, there is often live music throughout the month, but this is not a time to come and dance as there is no dance floor; you might be able to dance outside if there is a band playing though. The acoustics are pretty dreadful inside though, which when paired with everyone standing around shouting at the person six inches form their face just to be heard, it becomes less enjoyable. However, if you go during the day when it is much slower, I am sure you will enjoy it.

Took our third grader to see the production "Cinderella and Fella" and the students really enjoyed themselves. Always love going to the Alliance Theater. Such great exposure to the arts for our children. Keep up the good work.
