What a beautiful place to see and listen to your favorite artist! The setting is incredible. Would highly recommend for a concert or corporate event space.

Beautiful venue. Reminds me a lot of WolfTrap in VA. Acoustics were great and the grounds were wonderful to walk around beforehand. 10/10!

Really nice place for a show. Small and intimate, every seat including the lawn is a good one. The concessions are what you expect on the food side for a venue like this: dogs, burgers, popcorn etc. The bar is upscale though with mixed drinks, beer, and wine served with a bucket and glasses to take back to your seats. Great place to spend a summer evening.

We had a great time watching the legendary group, Chicago! What an awesome outdoor venue with clean, big bathrooms on each end, plenty of seating for eating, concession areas selling alcohol, water, soda, and snacks (you're allowed to bring in sealed non-alcoholic drinks and sealed snacks). We sat under the pavilion and row J - great view! My other friends who rode up separately said the parking for the shuttle was free. My other friend and I ended up in a paid parking area within walking distance (which was a good way to see some of Vail's beauty) & it was only $15.
