The Lynn Auditorium is a Mixed Bag. 3 STARS for The Auditorium & 5 Stars for the Entertainment. So…read more4 Stars. The Auditorium is kind of unique with its multi purpose use. First, the building serves three functions: it houses the city's principal offices, including the mayor's office, as well as the chambers of the city council & it provides concerts & theater arts. The Auditorium really needs to be Fixed Up & renovated. It's dated & it really is not what people expect when seeing concerts. They need better acoustics. If they did a makeover this could be a great place. It is an Art Deco building that has some beautiful marble walls & other striking architectural elements in the building that should be kept & really showcased. The rest needs to be updated but keeping the integrity of the Art Deco Style of the structure for today's modern world. That being said the Lynn Auditorium attracts Big Name Acts & Concerts. You can usually go to a show here for considerably cheaper price than seeing a show in Boston. They have a parking lot you pay for next door & several other paid parking lots in the vicinity. I've seen several concerts here including The Grass Roots, The Box Tops & The Association. This time out it was Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys performing the groups Greatest Hits. The opening Act was the Irish Singer Andrea Magee and her band. The Belfast singer is quite adept at playing the bodhran Irish drum while singing. They performed several original songs & covered Down to the River. When Brian Wilson took the stage it has one hit after another some 27 in total. They fluctuated lead singing between Brian, Al Jardine & his son Matt. They kicked off the evening with California Girls, I Get Around, Little Deuce Coupe, Surfer Girl, Don't Worry Baby sung by Matt Jardine, son of Al. The band also performed Do It Again, Wild Honey, Sail on Sailor, I Can Hear Music, Wouldn't It Be Nice, Sloop John B with Al Jardine. The Band also sang God Only Knows, Good Vibrations, Help Me Rhonda, Barbara Ann, Surfin' USA, Fun Fin Fun & Love & Mercy. What A Fun night of Beach Boys music where the audience sang along to many of the hit tunes. It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really rich to have The Good Life, not anymore.

Yes the venue is art deco period 1948 but sound system and acoustics (upgraded) were great, though the guy navigating the spotlight was off , the stage lighting in general was good. Sat in the balcony and the only obstruction is a rail by the first row but otherwise good views . Yes the occasional person musically inspired, does stand and yes folks on bathroom breaks and fetching drinks, but overall it felt like a nice atmosphere in a nice small town. Decent restaurants to dine before shows and decent spots to park. For the right group, we'll check out Lynn again!

(I'd been to art shows at Lynn Arts before, but never something like this.) Evil Dead the Musical was hilarious and I recommend attending to anyone who likes campy horror and/or musicals. The first 2 rows were the "splatter zone" where attendees were given ponchos. (And as the show progressed, they needed them.) The theater was small, but even from the last row I could see and hear the musical well. I've had the song "All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons" stuck in my head since the performance. I grew up in a city next to Lynn, so it's very nice to see a resurgence in the art scene. Don't be scared off by "Lynn the city of sin" and check out an Arts After Hours performance. You'll be glad you attended.

We used my dad's Kernwood membership to go. We made a reservation for 7 people for a summer Saturday night at 6:45. We got there at around 6:15 to have a drink on the patio before dinner. There was a wedding that evening but the staff was super sweet and reserved some tables on the patio for guests to sit at. Service getting drinks was a little slow which was understandable. Once the wedding party moved off the patio service definitely improved. We were seated for dinner inside and the dining room was probably at half capacity. This was great because it meant my grandfather could hear us all no problem. For my appetizer I got the tomato mozzarella salad which was okay, nothing to write home about. I also tried my aunt's tuna tar tar which was delicious and really spicy. For my main I got the rack of lamb. I ordered it medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. It also came with two sides. I loved that I had the option to choose my own sides. I got the broccoli and the mashed potatoes. Both were simple and delicious.

We bought tickets online for the 9AM-12PM block and some of the more popular rooms did start to get busy but you could easily go to another room if it was crowded. I liked that there were "trashcans" for toys that needed to be cleaned to prevent the spreading of germs. Bathrooms had step stools and toilet seats for kids which was great to see. There was a little room for kids to have their snacks as well. Check out the events calendar online to see if there are any special visitors/groups. The day we went there were visitors that brought crabs/hermit crabs and a project to make robo crabs. I do wish they had a water fountain or water filling station.

They have several small rooms filled with toys and activities for kids. I would say this place is best for kids 3 to 6. I also wouldn't want to be here when it's packed because like I mentioned, it is small. We went at around 10:45 and spent an hour there because they close at 12 for lunch and then reopen at 1pm. One of the rooms was still under construction. My wife and I were very pleased with the bathroom having steps for kids to wash their hands at the sink, a small toilet seat for those who are potty training, and a changing table.
