Though this facility was built sometime in the 1990s, it has been well maintained and hosts a variety of shows, forums, awards ceremonies, etc. Definitely a great place to be a patron, rent the facilities, etc.

When the room is opened for larger events, there are numerous doors to access the facility. When the weather permits the sliding patio doors add a touch of Arizona ambiance and expand the space. The staff is nice, responsive, and friendly. If there are any technical problems, staff is there to promptly correct the issue. Garbage cans are cleared out after lunch - unlike places that leave them piled up during the rest of the event. Truly one of my favorite spots to attend meetings. Parking is good, come early for better access, and multiple entrances are great so park anywhere! The only drawback: No recycling. Though water bottles and aluminum cans are all around during lunch meetings and events, I didn't see any assigned receptacles. Please look into this.

I had the pleasure of using two different meeting rooms at the Avion Center for Facebook Live…read moreevents (one on Sept. 13, another on Dec. 13, 2018) and both were great!

I was blown away by the hospitality, cleanliness, and simple amenities of this conference space…read more During a 2-day training course, we were able to focus on the learning material and didn't even to think about our surroundings because it was so naturally manicured for our event. For example, we had 2 full meals (breakfast and lunch) along with snacks that were strategically put out during the day. On both days, we had a mixture of a continental breakfast with bagels, oatmeal, fruits, and toppings. One day, there was a hot breakfast buffet with eggs, bacon, etc. For lunch, there was a full salad bar, and hot dishes like grilled chicken or cod stuffed with crab. There were always plenty of healthy side dishes to boot. Throughout the day, coffee was available along with various snacks and light appetizers. I think the food offerings was the most surprising part of the experience. The classroom space we used was outfitted with standard adult learning trappings such as AV equipment, screens, tables, and wall space for posters. Our instructor remarked that he felt this location is really great for hosting classes. For a guy that's been in the teaching business for a long time, he's wasn't wrong!

I've probably been here a dozen times or more in the last few years for professional conferences…read moreand I highly reccomend this venue! I can speak from the standpoint of both paying attendee and conference speaker/presenter that the customer service here is top notch! I had a recent experience last month when I was presenting at the Arizona Health Equity Conference and my slides would not load- the IT staff was able to find the correct wires and dongles within minutes and the presentation was a raving success! Facility is clean and comfortable and wifi is fast. Food here is also always solid and self serve bottled water and soft drinks are available all day which is a plus.

BRKTHROUGH was such a fun experience for our group of nine!…read more There have been a handful of similar entertainment centers popping up across the Valley lately, where you jump into rooms that each have different puzzles, games, or escape-style rooms. Each has its own merits, and Brkthrough really stands out in a handful of ways. - Team-based: I love that you rack up points as a team and can see everyone's scores live! In a bigger group, it makes it feel like you're competing with your friends even if though you have to be split into groups if 2-4 people. - Score limits: There's a bit of a strategy to racking up the most points. You can earn up to 100 points each room, which means you can either replay games to improve your score or try to play as many different games as possible. (Some rooms are easier to score in than others though) - Room wait times: Fantastic. We had virtually no wait at any room ever. There were 40 rooms (massive) with only a few closed so it never felt overbooked. - Immersion: The set design is pretty phenomenal, making you feel dizzy on a train, dropped into a navy ship, or placed in a ball pit. - Cost: Currently runs about $30/person for a two hour session, making it the most affordable of the three quick-play room style centers. Quick entry into rooms also made it feel like we had plenty of time! Some rooms were hard to understand, though there are hints in the hallway or you can ask an employee for help. The bar is a nice touch too. I like that even escape room-style games will slightly change (ex: with different quiz answers) so you can still have fun if you return.

I would skip this place entirely. It's $70+ for two people, there are no instructions on how to…read morecomplete the room tasks (it's their thing, I just think it makes them unnecessarily difficult). My rating is based purely on the silly high price they're charging. $15 per person max. I'd rather spend elsewhere.

This place reminds me of my childhood. Every weekend, I would beg my dad to take me rollerskating…read moreand very often, he would oblige. He never skated, but he encouraged me to learn and he would always bring a newspaper to read while I skated. I miss you dad. I came here the other night to skate and had a great time. I wasn't in the best of spirits, but once I got on the skating rink, my mood improved quickly! I love the feeling of skating and they were playing some old school pop, which I enjoyed. On Tuesday nights, it's 2 for $22 to skate, which includes rentals. They have specials all week long so check out their calendar. I'm definitely coming back for Thu adult skate night when I get a free day! I did check out their snack bar as I forgot my water bottle and was thirsty so I got a small soda, which was $3.75 (price is high), but it's free refills. I give this place 4 stars because they really could use a face-lift here, I mean its 2025 and I felt like I was back in the 80s or 90s here. Also, their wrist guards that they require you wear were pretty gross, that could use some improvement. This is a great way to get some exercise in and I had a great time here! I'll be back!

Love coming to Skateland Mesa…read more My wife and I have now been here for our niece's last two birthdays and one other time just to skate. Birthday parties are handled very well here. Our niece is getting more and more comfortable skating all of the time and has nearly graduated from using a helper. No shame in using it though as she knows she needs some assistance. Nowadays she will skate with it but then push it ahead of herself and skate to it. It is great to see kids to adults of all levels having fun out there on the rink. Slower skaters are encouraged to stay inside the oval in the middle of the floor so the more advanced can go around on the outer skating floor. You are reminded of the rules, but nothing is heavy-handed in any way. Good music and fun little games by the staff throughout the night. So glad they have my size - 15s in a skate. They also have rollerblades, but I am not a fan. Have to have four on the floor and spread out to stay upright. If you are in the area and looking for some fun that you may have not had in 30 or 40 years - go skating at Skateland Mesa. Plenty of theme nights for all and even some adults only skating nights. Highly recommend it for fun and a workout.

New member to MCC. Staff is amazing, golf course is great. Lots of elevation for a city parkland…read morecourse. Pricey initiation and monthly dues but you're paying for exclusivity. MCC puts on a ton of social events and golf tournaments for members. Can you play golf for less in the valley? Sure, but it's a somewhat unique course to AZ and I've never played a round over 3.5 hours on a weekend. This course has the second lowest private club handicap behind Whisper Rock so it's full of golfers who are there to golf. There are current PGA tour members I won't mention here but suffice to say, this is a true golfers club. Amenities are nice not over the top like an ACC or PV so if you're looking for bougie, this may not be your jam. But if you're looking for a place that has a lot of cool members, a staff that seems to genuinely care about your experience and a really fun golf course in the heart of Mesa, this is it.

I have been to many convention centers over the years. Some have one large building. Some are…read morefar removed from local restaurants and entertainment. Others have minimal parking or ground transportation nearby. When it comes to the Phoenix Convention Center, it has all of this and more. It provides flexible event facilities, up-to-date technology, top notch hotel accommodations, and a location that is accessible by plane, train, and automobile. There are also many activities from sporting events, live music, performing arts, and dining options all within a short walk. I have attended and volunteered at national conferences hosted at the Phoenix Convention Center, visited the Food and Wedding Expos, geeked out at Fan Fusion, and most recently, the Tourney Town free event for the community as a part of the NCAA Women's Basketball Final Four hosted in Downtown Phoenix. The local arrangements committee did a fantastic job coordinating the map of their event, how to get around the building from the outside, how to get around the building from the inside, and the layout of the convention center in the first place. There are three buildings in the convention center (North, West, and South). The North and West Buildings are con​​nected in the lower level exhibit hall and via a sky bridge on the upper level. The combined space contains 2 large ballrooms, 81 meeting rooms and 502,500 sq. ft. of exhibit space. The stand-alone South Building contains 18 meeting rooms, a 28,000 sq. ft. ballroom and two exhibit halls equaling 82,000 sq. ft. All of the meeting rooms, exhibit halls and ballroom can combine to equal a large 143,400 sq. ft. event space. You can learn more about the Phoenix Convention Center by going to https://www.phoenixconventioncenter.com. On this website, you can find resources for planning an event, attending an event, exhibiting at an event, events hosted at the convention center, news, and a place to submit a RFP. There is also information for nearby parking and local transportation. You can also find a virtual tour, details about the outdoor event space, sustainability initiatives, the best of Phoenix (hotels, dining, nightlife, culture, sports, and entertainment), and more. If you'll be in Downtown Phoenix at a conference or special event that is based in the Phoenix Convention Center, you're in for a treat!

This is regarding the Great Food Expo hosted in this location. Posting for other small businesses…read moreto NEVER hand them over your hard-earned cash. As a vendor? One of the worst experiences I've ever had. This company will extort you for exorbitant amounts of money: in my case $600, and in the case of a truly unlucky vendor $1300 without an endcap or electrical citing they were a "last minute" addition. attendees are charged $10, and essentially promised free food wherever they go. I can't speak on behalf of other vendors, but since I make a very specialty item, it took me 16 hours of work Monday through Friday just to pretend I had enough inventory for what I was promised. This event was sold to me as a foodie event, with 18,000 attendees. There was certainly not 18,000 people, and the attendees that arrived treated us less than Costco. The amount of money I spent to attend, in tandem with hiring someone given the expectation that it was supposed to be overwhelming, is outright cruel. I'm a small business, amongst other small businesses, that gave up a day at a farmers market where I would've made at least three times the amount of money I did wasting my Saturday and Sunday. To top it all off? My rep Tina Matteri when called on a Monday morning to discuss the event, hung up on me mid conversation. Did I curse? No. Did I accost her? No. Did I speak sternly, venting my frustrations with how I was extorted? Absolutely. Now she's so cowardly, she refuses to call me back. I let it be known that my husband is in litigation, and that my legal fees would be covered thus it would behoove her to call me back. Still have heard nothing. Stay as far away from this event as humanly possible. One of the worst experiences I've had to date since opening as a small business. Save your money, time and effort.
