    One of the most beautiful theaters I have been to. I love how they restored its older style. The seats are comfy and spacious enough. The staff was very friendly. The security noticed that my purse was not clear and mentioned that there will be a clear bag policy starting March 1st.

    I've been to Tucson many times and often stopped to snap photos of this historic theater, but this was my first time seeing the inside. What a night to support our amazing National Park system with a screening of *Out There - A National Parks Story*. From the moment you walk up, the theater radiates history, and once you step into the main seating area, you can't help but take it all in and admire how cool the interior is. I'll definitely be back for a concert next time. Fox Tucson Theatre - A+

    What a super cool addition to Tucson. The Fox Theatre has been a unique icon in the city for many years, offering a wide variety of performances--from theater and concerts to comedy shows. Reserved seating is available, and the seating, sound, and overall facilities are all high quality. Unfortunately, Paula Poundstone's performance leaned a bit too heavily into politics, and the excessive foul language made the show disappointing.

    This diehard music fan flew to Phoenix, rented a car, and drove to Tuscon...Why you may ask??? Because "Karla Bonoff," renown singer/songwriter, was performing LIVE on stage here!!! I have been a huge fan since I was a kid and there was no way I was missing this concert. The Fox Tuscon Theatre is nostalgic! So many amazing musicians have played on this stage. Located in the heart of Tuscon with it's high ceilings, balcony, chandeliers, and carpeted lobby made me feel like a kid again. They have 2 small bars. One located in the front lobby and the other by the restrooms. The concert was great. My sister & I had so much fun singing along! The ushers were all volunteers and very sweet. The sound crew were awesome! We chatted with them for a bit on our way out. *Tickets are available online or at the box office *Street parking near by and a few lots

    After five years since my first review of the Fox, I thought it might be time for an update. There is no place I would rather watch a concert then here. The quality of the sound is amazing as is the ambiance. The staff are always friendly and helpful.

    Legendary! Always a great experience. Does not matter what performance you attend, the acoustics and nostalgia of this epic theater is the most epic overall. Come and enjoy the variety of performances; you won't regret it.

    This historic theatre hosts several different types of shows and events throughout the year. I typically attend a few events annually. Concession prices are of course on the higher side ($10-$15 per drink) if you are comparing it to a bar or restaurant, but pretty typical to other event or stadium venues. However, I will say they did not seem to have enough staff for this last event as the balcony area only had one bartender working on a busy Saturday night and all of the concession areas had long slowly moving lines.

    I came here for a comedy show last night and like the theater. Yes, it's a bit old but it's charming. They have a decent amount of stalls in the bathroom. They have 2 bars to buy drinks at. The line for the bathroom and drinks both went quickly. If you leave in the middle of the show, there is enough lighting in the aisles to see. The seats were comfortable.

    First timer.....came to see Bruce Hornsby as part of the 2023 Tucson Jazz Festival. I understand there was a huge renovation 15 years ago or so. This is one beautiful performance art facility. The acoustics are stellar and the attendants were helpful and happy. We look forward to more events at The Fox.

    What a gorgeous venue! I love the historic charm. The artwork on the ceiling is beautiful. Keep in mind that there are no elevators to the balcony, so if you need ADA accommodations, you'll have to grab a ticket in the orchestra. Go see a show here - any show!

    Fox theatre, waiting in line to see the cowboy junkies!

    COOL ARENA... w/ tight seats! I'm not quite sure how accessible this arena is as it's got super…read moreenclosed seating and a massive set of stairs. I couldn't imagine someone in a wheelchair coming here. My parents almost tripped down the stairs due to the poor markings on the ground. It was quite a trek going up and down the stairs. I didn't feel like heading to the gift shop or concessions stand because it would've been a full-on workout. I go up stairs on the daily so I needed a little break once and a while! Tucson Arena's staff are pleasant for the most part. There's a few socially awkward people but I had a good time. The security out front was super polite and greeted us appropriately. I felt safe throughout my visit. There's several concession stands with standard fare (burgers, tacos, nachos) and specialty stands with Italian ice cream, mini-donuts, and açaí bowls! Tucson Arena is inside the Tucson convention center, so it's a massive property! The arena seats a bunch of people and there's several good views. This isn't to say there's a few obstructed zones, however, we enjoyed our visit to see the Tucson Roadrunners nonetheless. Bathrooms are easy to find and kept clean. Everything is a walk here, so expect to head towards the back of the arena to use the facilities. Overall, I'd recommend visiting for an event. The walkways are spacious and the seats are comfortable, minus the scarce leg room.

I came here to watch my first arena football game in eons, and while I had a good time it was in spite of the accommodations. As many others have said, the seating here is so old it's built for a much more petite cohort of Americans. If you are a larger person, it is absolutely unforgiving and I cannot imagine how they would manage a sold-out crowd comprised of the general population. The refreshments are mediocre (my popcorn was almost room-temperature) and I was waiting in line for 15 minutes despite arriving well after the game started. Even just getting here feels like a hassle. I took a Lyft, and the drop-off was far away from the entrance, with minimal signage directing you toward where you're supposed to go. It's somewhat intuitive, but for a venue of this size you shouldn't have to wander around until you stumble upon the correct gate. I really don't want to sound like a snob, but it kinda feels like whoever owns this place has put the bare minimum of effort into the comfort and design of the entire space. It's got the soul of a dead mall that saw its heyday in the 90s. Nobody actually WANTS to come here, they're just sort of held hostage by it being one of the only places capable of hosting certain events in a midsize city.

The one who served us was very nice and even made a drink recipe I came up with. Unfortunately, their bar is not well stocked so had to make a LOT of adjustments to my recipe. But appreciated his suggestions and effort. Now for the bad stuff. They have a jazz club attached. I figured the whole place would have that ambience but was disappointed that wasn't the case. Generic pop on the patio and inside is very noisy. The preferred dress of patrons appears to be gym shorts and t-shirts. Drinks were a little weak so I switched over to bourbon on the rocks. But the prices are reasonable. Maybe a nice pre show stop if you're going to the Century room.

My large party also tried the popcorn, and it was a bit stale. I was saddened to see that there are no longer charcuterie boards on the menu, leaving only and truly "small bites" that don't really hit the spot. The chocolate covered pretzels were the only thing I ate, which I would order again.
