    The Disney On Ice show was fantastic. I always try to come to see the show whenever they come to a town near me. The production is always wonderful to watch.

    Home of the Seattle Thunderbirds hockey team! If you like supporting local teams and need budget friendly entertainment this is something to check out. I've been to a couple games and they're just as fun as going to Climate Pledge Arena watching the Seattle Kraken. If you're coming from the west, the 167 underpasses at Meeker/Smith and James are decorated with blue and green lighting. We usually park at the James Street Park & Ride (free!) but there's lots of other free parking options around the area. They also have a store inside where you can buy merch. Never been to a concert here but because I have fam in the Renton and Kent school districts I've been to a couple high school graduations at Showare. Good venue to hold that kind of capacity.

    This is a review of the venue for CONCERTS, not hockey. Came for the Mercy Me concert. They have "free parking" but I showed up at 7pm and the lot was full. Had to park several blocks away at a shopping center. Arrived and they only have one entrance to the building and the line wrapped around the building! This place only holds 2,000 to 3,000 people but the line was HUGE!!! I asked a worker what time they started letting people inside (thinking they didn't let anyone in until 7pm) and was shocked when he said they opened at 6pm. Guy said this was the largest and longest lines they have EVER HAD!!! Just not very organized. Inside the place is small and intimate, we sat 13 rows back from the stage but ANY seat would be fine here. Acoustics are not very good for a small venue, could be better. Had a great time at the concert, Mercy Me gets 5 stars EASY, just hope they pick a better place to come next time

    Very nice venue! They were in need of another. Entrance to help speed things along. The line to enter went from around the front all the way to the back and then back up front again. The seats were comfortable and we had very good seats for our concert! The venue doesn't have a bad seat in the place. Comfortable and quaint! This is the hockey arena for Seattle Thunderbirds! Small but perfect for their team! Very good size for small shows and small town hockey! No really liked this venue! We were at the Newsboys, MercyMe concert! Amazing show!

    Thunderbirds vs spokane

    I like this event space, when the thunderbirds play hockey every seat gives a great view of all the action! There's plenty of bathrooms at both ends and stalls, my only peeve is the food. Why do venues always have the same basic American food? The overpriced burgers, pretzels, hot dogs are unappealing. Hit up a restaurant at Kent Station before you go to any event here cuz the food is basic and boring and definitely not worth the price!

    Judas Priest - April 2018

    Made the trek from Seattle to catch JUDAS PRIEST last night and was in awe of how nice the facility & staff handled this particular heavy metal crowd. These folks attending tend to be a rougher crowd than a Katy Perry's crowd. Yet entering the faculty was easy and peaceful with an amazing staff guiding us into the venue. Only thing slowing us down was the metal detecters making sure we were there to have fun and nothing else. Once inside the front gates signs pointed me to the floor so I could enjoy my front row center ticket. At first a few party crashers attempted to gain access to the front but the amazing security staff gave them the BOOT ASAP and placed neon Bracelets for row 1 seating. Immediately when some under privileged loser with crappy seat tried to enter the forbidden zone he was ejected instantly no mater how much begging & pleading he or she attempted. The nerve of these heathens tryin to join Franks party. Needless to say this was a very pleasurable and memorable experience seeing the mighty Judas Priest live. Thank you ShoWare Center your a building and staff worth giving a thumbs up to.

    Disney on ice from section 119 Row 5

    Attended Disney on Ice, really great smaller venue. Showare provides an intiment feel, and very close to the action. We sat in section 119, row 5. For Disney on Ice, they do not use all of the ice, the show was a short distance away but none the less still felt close. For concessions, we didn't eat at the arena, we purchased soft drinks, reasonable priced for a venue. For parking we purchased VIP parking, this gives you parking in the lot right next to the arena, as well as entrance through a side entrance. I would highly recommend this as other parking is free however it is across the street. There are plenty of restaurants at Kent Station, this would be a great place to stop before the show to get something to eat. Overall, great experience, enjoyed the show and the arena. Entrance was a breeze, bathrooms accessible and clean.

    My initial impression of ShoWare Center was very good. As a new mid-sized arena, it certainly has a lot of curb appeal. In particular, there was easy access to the venue from the surrounding communities (we were staying in Tacoma) and free parking across the street at the Park-n-Ride lot. We waited in line a few minutes prior to them opening the doors (one hour before the puck drop) and the staff was efficient about getting us through the doors (four lines). Security was a little stricter than I'm used to in Portland (bag check and you have to unbutton and open your coat), but no big deal. I checked the venue rules in advance and found a few quirks (no spiked jewelry or noise making devices) and the code of conduct at venues always induces a few chuckles. We had excellent seats and were surrounded by a mix of Thunderbirds and Winterhawks fans. It is an intense rivalry and we were attending a particularly important game, but the fans I observed on both sides let the boys settle it on the ice. A few things of interest... 1) During the hockey game there are a number of times they lower the lights, so this is the perfect place to bring glow sticks or lights in your team's colors. 2) As other fans noted, the acoustics weren't great and at times it was hard to understand the announcer. Also wish the big screen was a little better for the replays. 3) The food options were on the better side for stadium food, but at stadium prices. 4) Perfect sized venue for a hockey game and all of the seats seemed to be good seats. We sat in a section that had particularly good separation from the fans around us. It is a place I look forward to visiting again to cheer on my team. I'm trying not to let my personal bias affect me, but I think ShoWare is better than watching hockey in the VMC, but not quite as good as the Moda Center (fmr. Rose Garden).

    Great venue place. Outstanding staff for this event. Easy entrance, accommodating staff. Any seat sufficed for this event. The staff was very organized all around and very helpful assisting guests to their seats. I've never been to a big event were everyone was well behaved and friendly. Also haven't seen this much Filipino all in one spot. A friendly reminder tho that snacks are hella expensive but expected. Eat something before attending events such as this. Jo Koy ran on Filipino time and I expected it too but whatever. That's a given being a Filipino. He was hilarious and so talented! He took the crowd way back to childhood to present and made fun of everybody. He sang with us, danced here and there. He was wonderful and would love to see him again when he returns to us. All in all, I had a wonderful time with Jo Koy. I'm very blessed.

    Hockey time!

    See all

    There isn't a bad seat in the house and with the recent success of Thunderbirds, the environment is really fun to be a part of.

The…read morespace is just right for our large family to have seating, 4 buffet tables, space for photo backdrops and a table for gifts. Accommodates up to 72 people. The high ceiling and 3 large, glass roll down garage doors make the space feel super big and bright. We have been here in summer when they were opened up and the kids were able to run and play in the real grass field right next to the building. In late fall with the doors closed it is very warm and cozy inside, even with the entrance door open. There is a small kitchen in the corner complete with sink, glass stove top and oven plus counter space. No refrigerator that I noticed though so bring your coolers and ice. There is plenty of parking with large enough spots to easily accommodate a large SUV and open doors comfortably. Inside there are two restrooms, one for men and women, not unisex, but they have a changing table (at least the women's restroom did). The building is adjacent to a small park. It's nice but be sure to not leave any valuables in your car as there can be some shady characters hanging about. After our event was done it helps to have family/ friends pitch in for the quick cleanup. Tables and chairs need to be stacked into their trolleys and the floors quickly swept. They provide the cleaning stuff like the large sweeper, etc. many hands make light work so for our large party clean up only took about 15 minutes. It's a good thing to model respect for the venue space to the littles and have the kids help out with clean up. Make it a game and it's even easier. Overall this is a great venue and we would definitely come back again.

Most recently we had a baby shower "Ahoy it's a boy" themed party. I called about 4 weeks before to reserve the space for about $200 for 5 hours. The representative was professional and easy to work with. On the day of the event, the attendee met me about a hour before and stayed on the property until after the event. I love this venue because outside there is a playground for the kids, there are huge windows that open up as doors to the outside, and they provide tables, chairs and there's a fridge, oven and kitchen space. No microwave! The party was a huge success and everyone had a great time. We will most likely reserve again for future events. I love the location in Auburn it's easy to get to and in the middle of Tacoma and Seattle. You can bring your own music, coolers and decorations. Must have painters tape or blue tape for the walls if you put up decor. No alcohol unless you have a permit. Thanks City of Auburn for having such a beautiful venue available to the public for a great price.

It's kind of fun to be able to just sit and watch the planes fly by and play a game with yourself to guess which airline it is. While a large percentage of them are Alaska airlines planes you can catch a Lufthansa, American, ANA, etc. If you're the outdoorsy type, there are a few walking paths and you can walk on the pier as well and basically stand out in the middle of the water. It's perfect for people watching. You can catch fishermen and fisherwomen, scuba divers and people in boats, runners, and people searching around for treasures down in the shells. It's really a place for most anyone to find something to keep busy with. You can just sit and relax and listen to the sound of the waves gently wash in if you like the simpler side of life. I'd say it's probably one of my favorite parks.

Do not swim in this water. Seriously. There's also a long pier, part of the marina area, where people enjoy crabbing and fishing off of. Low tide will yield several delightful sea creatures for your viewing pleasure. The park also has the benefit of a large grass area, which is used for all sorts of events during the summer months. Beyond that there's a very nicely maintained, paved trail. The over all area is a nice place to get out and enjoy the fresh air while there are a bunch of little cafes/restaurants all along to main road.
