After this show, I doubt I'd see another show here. The area is conveniently located across from a hotel, which is great if you're traveling to Reading, PA like we were from another city or state. Unfortunately I cannot review the parking situation, because with took a Lyft there. But it seemed like everyone parked away from the arena. All of the staff was extremely friendly. From the attendant that helped us find our seats to the nice lady who sold us the $15 deuce-deuce can I'd Trulys. It's really sad how ridiculous these arena prices arena! The seats at the Santander were horrible. Of course because it's a concert, everybody was dancing and having a great time, but the seats were wobbling and moving more than we were. I felt like I was going to end up in the floor! The sound system wasn't the best either. Most times, the music was completely overpowering the artist. For these two reasons, I doubt I'll be back. But the concert was great!

The Holiday Boutique boasted local artisans & German food. We were NOT disappointed. There were a variety of local vendors selling their products. From jewelry to candles to ceramics to woodworking to glass blowing to knitting to clothing...you name it, it was here. I was able to purchase quite a few special gifts . If you're a supporter of small businesses, then you'll love it just like me. You will find so many talented artisans. In addition, there was food & drink to be had as well. On this chilly day, we opted for hot cider. If you get cold, you can warm yourself up at the many little fire pit stops. This was a super fun day!

Same day reservation made on the RC website with seats needing to be selected which in reality is highly unnecessary when you're going to see a niche show at 4-something on a weekday with ten other people. Parking is across the street in the garage. I guess at one time you either had to pay or some type of validation was needed but I saw nothing except wide open gates. When we got inside there was a clipboard with no pen next to the main register where you could put your name, make and plate info on there but if it's all open, why? As expected, it was a shit show to cross 2nd Street with all of the traffic but there really isn't a better way unless you can levitate or do a Tom Cruise Mission Impossible-esque run/jump across the street from the top of the garage. Typical of modern weekday movies, in principle you could have walked in without paying and seen the show for free. Only two visible employees. One was in the back of the snack area prepping something while on his phone and the other guy was at the register doing everything thing else. The show was the show. I've played the CD, watched the YouTube clips and seen the concert a million times. This was just bigger. No issues with the picture, sound or seat quality. Overall coming here was good enough, but in all honestly, first time and probably last time.

Every place insisted a caterer, which no one in the bridal party wanted to pay for considering it wasn't a normal shower.. it was co-ed! One random night, about two weeks after I had emailed this random place I found on The Knot.. I finally got a response so straight forward I thought it wasn't real. $500, no down payment.. money in cash or check due the very day of the party, don't have to have a caterer, BYOB, tables, chairs, etc included. I instantly called the guy. Manager of the center was named Jimmy, a 74 year old man.. total riot. I read most of the reviews on every other site and everyone was so up and down about him. Some people said he was rude and inappropriate.. others said he was super helpful and attentive. Well from my experience, from day one it was perfect. Met with him the first night with the bride to be's parents and my boyfriend and he gave us a tour of the place, told us we could have the place for 10 hours and for $500. The place was gorgeous! Plenty of different sized tables, chairs, A/C, covered outdoor deck, high ceilings, gorgeous flowers planted all around the building, beautifully maintained yard by the river with lights dangling all around, two bathrooms, and a fully stocked and loaded kitchen. I was super happy about this place. Jimmy and I talked a couple of times throughout the months of planning. Any time I had any questions he was always super attentive, always giving me a call back as soon as possible if he missed it. Super sweet, any funny guy. About a week before the day of the shower, Jimmy called me telling me he wasn't going to be able to open the building for us because he had relatives going into the Marines that weekend so he would miss the party! He wanted to meet a few days before and personally give me the key to open myself and let me come an hour earlier than we agreed on and showed me where everything was located. Every light switch, every lock on the doors, every table, showed us what was offered in the kitchen, and where to leave the money and key for him to pick up the next day. Everything was super easy to remember. I would like to say, the shower turned out amazing. Every guest raved about how beautiful the place was and how gorgeous the decorations were. It was a great time, nothing went wrong that day. I was super stressed for months and nothing could have went better. Cleanup was easy, closing the building was easy.. I left feeling exhausted but content. I'd highly recommend this place for anyone. It's small so if you decide to have a wedding or party here, it should be for anywhere smaller than 100 people. I had about 48 people for my shower, so it was just right. I'd come back if I had the opportunity to for sure! Thanks again!

Four stars because I've only been there once, and it was for the Imax theater. So I have no…read moreknowledge of all the other screens. The Imax theater provided a terrific experience, especially for seeing the Christopher Nolan version of The Odyssey. The place is loud, too loud, really -- the biggest strike against it. The ever-rumbling bass in the movie's soundtrack blotted out some actual dialogue. The Odyssey as a movie was terrific. A masculine perspective -- but you did quickly see just what made this story perennially popular. A man must go to war when duty ordains it, even though no one wants to and the object is to get back the wife of another Greek king after she had run off with a young, handsome stranger. Ten years of war and everyone wants to get home ASAP after the victory. But Odysseus chooses a different route and the trouble begins. A great series of challenges unfolds, to make his return to a beloved wife, son and his own kingdom nearly impossible. That is the story, and the yearning for a whole family and a regular life is overpowering. It seems like it just can't happen, and he will be stuck on that desert island with Charlize Theron forever, poor guy. Glad we saw it. But it was a bit too loud. Previews of coming attractions are pitched somewhere near 10,000 decibels. Also, the chairs recline so much they were even a little difficult to climb out of.... But I am not complaining! I was glad to be there! Oh, yes, the $8 matinee was most welcoming, too. A little touch of Zeus's Law.

There is plenty of parking surrounding the place. The staff is very friendly especially the guys at the front. I've been there a handful of times and each server was very nice as well as quick to get what we needed. There's only one gentleman there who is very rude to the staff. The place is usually jumping so I do suggest going earlier if you don't want to wait. However, I've never waited more than 20 minutes when the place was packed. The staff is very quick to flip tables but I never feel rushed. The lobby isn't huge so be prepared to stand if it is busy. It's simple Italian food served quickly. They have a variety of things to choose from including daily specials. I typically tend to start with their salad with cheese, because as simple as it is, it's delicious! The pizza is excellent.
