Reviews of Walton Arts Center (Movie Theater)

Tex Aten

We saw the Blue Men Group and they were great!! We really like the Walton Art Center.... They have a great variety of entertainment and well worth the money.

Marty Harrison

Very nice venue for the performing arts. Wide variety of offered shows from symphony to on stage plays and live music bands. Venue is always clean and up to date on technology.

Jade Cross

A great theater in a lovely town that makes you feel like you are getting ready to go to a Broadway show in NY. This place is bigger than you expect once you get inside. They offer a variety of different shows and plays worthy of such a stage. I can't wait to attend the theater again

Isaac Cammann

Small enough that there aren't really any terrible seats, but large enough to draw decent performances. Baum Walker Hall at the Walton Arts Center is similarly sized to the Brady in Tulsa, but more modern and attractive. Typically hosting classy performers, you can see things ranging from a symphony orchestra to a comedian or rock band here.

Beautiful Arts Center that Hosts many Events From Concerts to Broadway Shows. I am MOST Excited about seeing Les Miserables That will be here next week. Grease was a few years ago and it was Great & Rick Springfield had a great Concert. You may purchase individual Shows or Season passes.

Beautiful venue and a great variety of shows!

Lisa Tilton

Was in town visiting a friend & she took me to see Waitress! What a great time! The center was easy to find and close to many restaurants. Highly recommend!

Chris Smith

It's free. Lovely natural environment. Clever presentation of art in thematic style; Amy Sherard and American contemporary Indian exhibit are excellent. Architecture is adaptive and creates very airy and singular space - a contemporary Channonceau.

Jeff Lane

Usually an amazing experience...this however was not one of those experiences. The sound would not work and the show was cancelled after we drove an hour to be there. We were very disappointed. We did receive a refund for our tickets, but nothing else.

Diana Brown

CATS, an awesome production.. WAC offers very diverse genre choices. Always one of my favorite evenings out.

Peggi Parks

Many thanks to the staff at Walton Arts Center for accommodating my friend and I at a concert on 9 December. Neither of us can comfortably stand for long periods of time. The staff was able to re-locate us to seats in front row where we could stay seated and concentrate on enjoying the show. This was my first time at WAC and I'm so impressed with how courteous and willing to listen the staff is.

Amanda Phillips

Great experience and shows with reasonable prices

Kimberly Phipps

A truly exceptional facility with wonderful staff. They work hard to bring exceptional programs to NWA

Went to see the musical "Cabaret" here. We had a really good time. Has a wine bar. Good excuse to dress up! Will definitely return.

Clinton Welch

Awesome show.awfull tiny bathrooms for a theater though.

Ryan Osborne

Perfect place for a date night and some culture! The staff are very friendly and helpful as well.

Mona Harris

Blue man group was terrific!

Mary Sharp

Intimate venue. From what I could tell, there isn't a bad seat in the house. I saw 'Cats' for the fourth time and this was one of the best performances I've had the privilege of seeing.

Debbie Southard

I love everything about Walton Art center except for the fact that they did not connect the parking garage to the building so you have to walk out around the building in rainy weather or cold weather to get into the building after you've parked. That wouldn't be too bad of a problem for young people but for older people it's not ideal.

Zach Watts

Excellent modernization to the facility. Concessions are overpriced, as you'd expect, but the theatre is very good with great performances.

Jodi Mitchell

This place has an elegant, clean feel. We bought our tickets online so we had to pick them up from the front. In doing so the staff was helpful and genuine. We arrived an hour early to get a decent parking spot. While we waited they have beverages and snack candy. Including coffee, Cokes, and even alcohol. My husband and I had a wonderful experience here. We will be coming back!

Dan Mack

Good venue, great customer service. Will definitely be back

S Cochran

Staff at the box office was very friendly and helpful.

Russell Leier

Wonderful venue for NWA. They bring on many great shows. Most performances are done very well. Staff is always friendly though a little slow at the concession areas. Could use more restrooms as well. I have not had a bad seat anywhere in the main theater.

Richard Hughes

Top quality all the way.

Anton Korolev

Fantastic venue with friendly and helpful staff. The shows are getting better and better every year!

Frances Wilson

Best venue to see musicals in Fayetteville, no question. A landmark of downtown.

Lisa Vickery

My daughter and I LOVED the show and the staff is WONDERFUL!

Liz Wilhelm

Love the Arts & Entertainment + special events at the WAC! A beautiful theater and venue!

Mrs Farmer

Brenda Davidson

It was unbelievable you have to go see It for yourself

Grant Harris

The performance was great!

Tresha Jacky

The Walton Art Center is a truly unique entertainment venue, rare in cities as small as those in NW Arkansas. We are very fortunate to have this theater auditorium that presents concerts, plays, and symphonies all year around. Moreover, the WAC has branched out to provide an outdoor stage, the AMP, that holds concerts starring world renowned musicians and bands. Thank you!!

Justin Gilbert

Saw The Nutcracker here and loved it. Beautiful theater!

Bird LS

Came to watch Polar Express and the entire dialog was mute for the first half hour before they addressed the issue...the concessions was also out of hot chocolate on a night there was a major kids event and the only other child friendly beverage was water. Major let down for our pre-Christmas event. Very disappointed I spent money and bought tickets way in advance for this level of unprofessional production.

Eric Shaun

Gorgeous venue for theater, love music, performing arts, etc. The newly renovated entrances and lobby are gorgeous. They regularly feature world class musicians, dancers, and theatre shows. One of the best venues for love performances in the state. Prices for does are typically lower than other similar theaters.

Steve Black

Fabulous acoustics for the concert we attended. Very helpful and pleasant folks!

Larry Linn

Beautiful venue!

Janie Michaelson

This was my first time to go to the theatre in many years and it was such a memorable experience. I got to see my favorite musical and it was very beautiful done.

Lee Gaesswitz

They serve beer in a travel mug, which is odd. Still a great show and extremely nice employees. The place looks great but the parking lot gets full fast so be there early.

Elaine Williams

Bella Gaia! A 2019 Artosphere performance and one of the best things I've seen at WAC, and that's saying a lot. I hope they will return during the main season, and I wish I'd bought tickets for all my friends. Absolutely outstanding.

Rick Bell

Love to be here whenever we can. Saw Peter Yarrow in a wonderful intimate show which had all singing along.

Meredith Corning

The staff at Walton Arts Center did an amazing job at my clients' wedding! As a wedding coordinator, it is such a value added when a venue provides such excellent service for their events. They have multiple spaces for brides and grooms to choose from with a wide range options depending on your tastes. They provided tables, chairs, sound techs, bartenders and security. You can't go wrong choosing Walton Arts Center for next event or wedding!

Julia was absolutely wonderful. She makes buying concert AMP tickets a seemless and pleasant experience. Kudos, Julia.

Rodney Sewell

Nice service. Call to make sure they are open. Hours vary sometimes. Nice place.

Baby Boo

Very cool and fun place had a blast watching the very hungry caterpillar on school trip.

Great plays, we always have seasons tickets and enjoy all the shows.

Wesley Lyles

It had been a while since I had been at the Walton Arts Center but I can say I was really impressed with the revamped lobby. The staff is friendly and helpful. And facility is immaculate. I also like the updated access to the building and landscaping.

Janet M Busby

Loved the VIP parking for bikes blues and barbeque

Freda McClain

The Walton Arts Center is lovely. The staff is very friendly and quick to help. Soda, wine and coffee is available. Was able to pick up tickets for the event at "will call". Parking was inexpensive across the street. Plenty of food venues around the center to get there early and have a nice dinner before the show.

Samantha Culpepper

Very nice facility. Excellent volunteers. Member's Lounge has a delightful courtyard. LOVE IT!

Vahid Amirmoez

Fantastic venue, I have enjoyed my experiences there every time and very Wheelchair friendly!

The center is beautiful and located in the charming college town of Fayetteville. The staff was helpful. Parking and access SAS fairly easy to navigate. We will definitely come back.

Ann-Marie LeBlanc

Beautiful locale for performing arts presentations and touring shows. Great seating provides a good view from everywhere in the theaters. Lobby is stunning and spacious with a concession bar.

Randy Cox

Fantastic location to see a show. Great staff and friendly ushers. If living in the area, I highly recommend joining since you get the best choice of seats and personalized service.

Wendy Harding

Not a bad seat in the house! Always bringing in great musicals and performers. Situated off of Dickson Street in the heart of Fayetteville, restaurants and bars are walkable before or after shows. Parking is great! Only $5 to park close to the theater!

Mark Stiles

A great place to see anything. We will most definitely be back.

Kelly Chillari

So wonderful to have a theater of this caliber in the area. I have never been disappointed with a show and look forward to many more great performances! The facilities are elegant and I enjoy the idea and incentive of their reusable cups for concessions.

Silver Surfer

Not much to say...a lot was spent on the revamp. Some like it, some say it's just curb appeal. Now if the rest of Dickson Street could follow suit.

Alfie Creeps

I love that this institution brings art and culture to Arkansas. We need it and it is greatly appreciated. Couldn't be more pleased!!!! My mother, sister and I just recently attended Cats the Musical. Excellent.

Keaton Dalquist

Fantastic and beautiful place that features so many cool shows, concerts, and plays. The staff is very welcoming and knowledgeable and make sure all guests are informed of where their seats are and about everything offered

Michael Havro

Great and fun place to see many musicals. My only gripe is that their signature cocktail drinks for each musical has been disappointing in flavor, but I am also not a fan of strong alcoholic tastes. In the past, the subscription was the way to go to see all of the higher-rated musicals, but next year (2020), the most highly-anticipated musicals don't see to be gated behind subscription purchases, which is really nice. The theater seating is elevated enough so that every seat has a clear view of the stage, which is much appreciated, compared to many concert venues.

Rachelle Bunker

I visited here for the VoiceJam. The parking was easy and convenient. The building was beautiful inside and out. Staff were all so friendly and accommodating. My only complaint would be our group sat in the lower section towards the back, it was so stuffy and hot!

Daniela Salinas

It was an amazing experience, watched the play "Waitress". Made me feel lots of emotions....lol

Mark Comito

great staff good place to see live events.

Leo van Oudheusden

Always a great place to see a show. Not a bad seat in the house.

Cherie Lipe

Very nice, clean and staff there are very helpful

Ann Parker

A night of fun, clean entertainment for all ages!

Carly Grace

Just had the worst experience here. We are long time donors and ticket holders but tonight seriously impacted the future of our relationship with WAC. We went to see the Polar expres and Just before it began the Falsettos preview was played. My 5, 4 and 2 year old naturally had a lot of questions. I was appalled at the preview considering the young audience. Completely inappropriate material to preview before a kids show. I hope to God it was a mistake, and if it was I am not sure why they wouldn’t stop the preview to figure it out. The rest of the movie was a total wreck as they didn’t have the center speaker plugged in correctly so all the auxiliary sound was playing but no dialogue. Don’t even really care as much about that as much as how offensive the preview was. We left. Ruined WAC for me.

John Tuttle

Good place to sit And watch during BBBQ.

Jackie Kirbo

I absolutely love this place. Never disappointed.

Ron Rubay

Great venue. Many wonderful plays and more. Keep them coming

Renu Khandelwal

Nice place. Really liked the facility

Chris Lewis

Beautiful venue. I watched SoNa perform there and loved it.

Sherri Meyer

Blue Man group was fun

Jerry Jacobsen

Wonderful experience swing 6-wire. A beautiful mix of classical and cultural music. The facilities are top notch, and the staff are very professional. Looking forward to going again!

Ann Ames

Great concert. Make sure you attend 6:30 talk about the program and guest performers. Mr. Haas does fabulous job of bringing the music pieces to life. We are seriously enjoying our package for SONA.

Amy Kenna Krueger

Fantastic location for VIP for Bikes Blues and BBQs

Sonjja Ariana

I went to the dress rehearsal for Percy Jackson and it was amazing! Beautiful theatre, amazing staff and an amazing show.

J Cooley

Loved seeing the bluean group here. Great, and comfortable seats.

Terry Lynch

Very nice facility for public and or private events.

Hill Family

What a treasure to have access to Global Arts in our Community. Excellent programs for kids, adults and family that inspire and educate.

Jeff Johnson

Stellar line ups with great variety this newly remodeled facility brings you assorted entertainment choices that give a new meaning to "something for everyone". I've seen the Nutcracker ballet (not for me!) and a few Broadway productions, many of the music offerings have been excellent. Not a bad seat in the house, the staff is helpful and respectful and it won't cost you an arm and a leg. It's a great opportunity to put on a nice pair of slacks and a collared shirt and go out! 1 to 10 I give this a consistent 10. If you've never been, go see what it's about...

Kay Rossetti

Les Miserables: We couldn’t have had a better experience!

Shellie j McClard Barnett

Bringing in off Broadway for the South!! Entirely responsible for the theatrical culture of the great NWA. Thank you
