Staff was very courteous. We were a party of two to see Toby Mac on October 30, 2025. It was an awesome concert.
Very nice theater. We really enjoyed the Toby Mac concert
My wife & I visited to watch Cirque Afrique. The show was spectacular and the RiverCenter is a beautiful venue for hosting this and other performances throughout the year. We particularly loved the convenience of free parking in the parking garage across the street.
Beautiful, well kept place. The Acoustics are fantastic, the seating is very comfortable and looks brand new, there are plenty of staff on hand that was very helpful. The restrooms were spotless and it had plenty of parking. Highly recommend!
