    Rideshare pick up in lot 5.  The red car was our ride.
    Stephanie R.

    Went to the Expo hall for the World Oddities Expo. We took a ride share and were able to be dropped off right in the front but when we left, but we had to walk out to Lot 5 for pick up which was around the back of the Expo Hall. Lot 5 is a bit of a labyrinth so make sure you are on the right side of the fence for pick up, I've posted a picture of where our rideshare picked us up. The bathrooms were clean and had an attendant actively cleaning. We got popcorn, water and a beer at the concession stand. The beer was expensive at $13 but at least it was a tall boy size. The popcorn had a lot of kernels and kernel skins so it wasn't great and it was a small serving. You'll need to buy beer at the concessions window labeled for beer, the other window is for food and non-alcoholic drinks only. There were plenty of attendants in the parking lot to ask for help and plenty of parking as well. As you are driving to the Expo hall there is good signage to lead you straight to the hall. Overall a good location for an event.

    We attended the Big Red & Barbacoa festival at Freeman Coliseum. I was happier with the event location this year, much better set up than last year. They offer a lot of food samples and choices for purchase. Inside were the vendors where they had live music, which was way too loud and hard to enjoy, would have been much easier and enjoyable to listen to if it had been turned down a bit and not so echoey. The outside live band sounded great! Fun event but wish there was a little more to do there, especially when it cost $15 to park and we were there about an hour. Hoping next year will be even better !

    This place is easy to find since it's right next to the ATT center. Parking was easy as well. I came here this past weekend for the dog show. Admission was free for all and they had different vendors with merchandise for sale. I enjoyed looking at all of the dogs and their handlers from amateurs to professionals. We spoke to a lot of people who were not only passionate about their profession but also the animals, which I appreciated. The center is smaller compared to other areas but the layout for this event worked well. I would not mind going yo another event here.

    We attended the Yelp Elite event to see Jurassic Quest. Thankfully, my family were good sports, because this was a bust. My twins are teenagers, but they are huge dinosaur nerds. It doesn't seem as though the engineers who put these replicas together love their jobs. There were visible seams where the velcro wasn't secured properly, some dinos had legs that weren't attached in the right places and the place was just dead. I'm sure 5-7 years old would enjoy it but they might also be scared. I don't know, for us, being prior military, it seemed like O-Day gone wrong.

    Close but not close enough.

    Concert was at 7:00. We have been trying to get in the parking lot for an hour. It is now 7:36 and we have barely moved. Unacceptable.

    I will start by saying I got my tickets for Jurassic Quest for Free from an Elite Squad Event. I went last night with my 9 year old grandson and daughter. Finding it wasn't easy as the signs were very small. When we arrived apparently you need to pay for parking as well, although I didn't due to DV status. When we entered the exhibits of the dinosaurs were pretty cool. I will say that the lighting was very low, I assume to make it spooky or something, so seeing some of them was tough. My grandson blew through the exhibit hall was all the boredom he could muster. We then went to the next area which had dino riding attractions and, of course, overpriced merch. My daughter bought him a balloon for$20, yup 20 bucks for a dino balloon. The rides were, as others have posted, made and meant for very young kids. He was bored. The third area had some inflatables for him to play on as the people supervising stared at their cell phones. Not impressed at all. If I had to pay for tickets I would not recommend this at all. For $22 a ticket go somewhere else.

    Small tour of Dino's really wish It had a lot more entertainment. Me and my family we're here for literally 15 minutes and left. Lost interest fast and they were over pricing everything. Maybe another major event has to come through and be more entertaining to change my mind but overall very mediocre.

    Tonight my husband, mom, 12 year old niece & I went to Jurassic Quest. My first observation is that there definitely needs to be more signs up outside. There are MANY entrances to the Freeman Coliseum. We went into 2 before we were actually IN the correct parking lot. Parking is $10. Once we finally found the correct entrance & parking lot we walked inside. We got the unlimited rides bracelet for my niece. Umm... the rides were basically her climbing up to sit on a really cool looking dinosaur & it kind of vibrating & moving forward & backward a little. This might be VERY exciting for a toddler or a child under 7ish. Boring for a 12 year old who wants to skydive with me but we had the unlimited rides bracelet so she tried out sitting on 2 dinosaurs. Jose at the huge Dino Fred was VERY nice. He let her sit there extra long bc there wasn't one kid in any of the lines. This entire exhibit was almost dead. I'm not complaining bc I'm not a fan of crowds but I can understand why. Tickets are expensive! I wish I had taken a photo of the prices. Im pretty sure the unlimited ride pass for 12 & under is $33 at the door. I believe adults were $22. The snack stand didn't even have anyone working at it. The exhibit doesn't close until 8 but nobody was available to buy a drink or snack from at 6:30ish. Quite disappointing. There were many "stations" that didn't have an employee working it (ex: animal art tattoo). The souvenir areas definitely had 2 or more working at each of those. The dinosaurs ARE awesome though. They looked very realistic & I can tell that a lot of time, effort, expertise & money has been invested in this Jurassic exhibit. If you or your child really love dinosaurs, take them. I'd recommend that they cover the front doors w some type of curtain bc the bright light really took away from the animatronic dinosaurs by the doors. We took some fun pics. It was cool to see them. The T-Rex moved AND made noises. My mom got a kick out of it. That was prob our fav display. The staff member holding the baby triceratops was great & he stayed in character holding his "real" baby dino . It looked so real. We took a great photo in front of a green screen that put us on top of my nieces favorite dinosaur & she LOVES it! Bryan B. was very friendly! He told us how to sit, pose & made sure we liked our photo. Great guy! Our last experience was the inflatables & bungee. The guys working were awesome! My niece played for about 15 mins. We chatted w the guys while we watched her & took photos. Thanks to Justin, Tobias & Judah! Y'all were friendly & left a great last impression on us. This was a memorable exhibit. I just think it is overpriced for an experience that was half staffed. As for "rides", there aren't enough for the price. I'm glad my niece had a little fun on the inflatables & tried the bungee out. Animatronics were really unique & the staff that was working was fantastic!

    Came here for the Jurassic quest event. Locating the venue wasn't too hard, however it was tucked in the back corner behind the coliseum in the expo hall. There were many different animatronic dinosaurs of all sizes, some of them almost all the way to the ceiling. They reminded me of the kind of animatronics on rides at amusement parks. There were some dinosaurs that kids could actually ride, although it didn't look too exciting, they just went up and down. The spacing for everything was nice and it was pretty easy to stay socially distant. The prices for the tickets were kind of high for what you get to see, most people might just go to six flags for the same amount of money. Especially the souvenirs, there was a plush dinosaur selling over $30, no thank you.

    We came here for the Jurassic Quest -San Antonio and we had a blast! The event was filled with lots of activities for children of all ages. The event had different attractions that included artificial dinosaurs, rides, petting zoo-style with the dinosaurs, moon bounces, crafts, play areas and much more which my 4 year old enjoyed!. I highly recommend this event to everyone! The souvenirs were reasonably priced and they had food available as well!

    I came here to see Tenth Avenue North and MercyMe. A nice venue that is kept clean. Since it's an older facility it does not have all the amenities of a newer facility. Clean, easy to find away around. Easy parking. A good place for concerts. Nice to have in SA.

The atmosphere inside the stadium was electric fans were into it, music was on point, and you could really feel that playoff energy. One of the biggest wins for me was the front row parking super clutch and made the whole night smoother. Drinks were solid (a little pricey, but expected at a game), and the restrooms were surprisingly clean considering how packed it was. On a personal note, I even connected with someone there that could turn into a great business opportunity, so that made the night even more worth it. Only downside was the service. It felt slow and a bit unorganized at times, especially when trying to get attention or place orders. Overall, great vibes, great crowd, and a memorable nighteven walked out with a win on my bet. I'd definitely come back, just hoping the service improves next time.

    Home of the San Antonio Spurs! Go Spurs Go! This venue does hold other events such as concerts,…read morecomedy shows, etc. The surrounding area is sketchy and industrial feels and is about 15 minutes away from downtown. Parking on-site varies and starts at $20 and up depending on the event. Traffic does get crazy but the police have it strategical planned well. Very organized! Staff is always friendly and helpful! Plenty of food options and the average stadium pricing. As far as viewing an event, there is a bad seat in the house for the view BUT as you go higher up, the stairs are pretty steep.

There is no dress code, so people were able to get through with their cowboy hats and boots and buckles without problem -- great! However, I didn't feel safe when it came to firearms or knives. The venue itself is adequately staffed but I guess I'm used to the kindness of those at the Moody Center in Austin. Here, it just felt like people wanted a paycheck. The food wasn't jarring in upcharge but I didn't order anything because the Alamodome in general is just not clean. The bathrooms are a nightmare and I felt so bad for those who had to use the women's facilities. Everything seemed to have a line and the restroom line for women was tough. The actual concert was decent but to be honest, I was heavily overstimulated. I am super glad I brought my noise altering headphones because the dB went up to 97 at some points; far too loud for the seat I was in (101, row 24, seat 14). The seats were decent and, for someone with back problems, they did the job. The lighting on the stairs was also good as intoxicated people struggled to get to their seats. There's just a lot this place could improve...and that starts with entry and bathrooms. Then just turn the speakers down a bit! I really hope I never have to visit this venue again to see my favorite artists.
