This place is great. The orchestra is excellent. This place supports the community. They offer a varity of entertainment. We love going and go every chance we get. The only reason I gave it an average rating was because of the decor. It is a little dated. It is adequate, but not very modern.

Have attended numerous events here from concerts to hockey games to rv and boat shows and have always enjoyed myself. Have always felt safe and secure with ample security and lighting. Located within easy walking distance of a couple of downtown hotels.

Very beautiful outside, Seemed to have everything covered inside. It was handy to our hotel and the downtown area, but still had a lot of outdoor open area.

The Von Braun Center is a beautiful building and the access is wonderful. I used accessible parking and was able to navigate to the entrance very quickly and safely in my wheelchair. Seating was excellent and close to the stage. Everyone was very helpful in getting me where I needed and showing me the elevator and where my seat was.... More

I went to the center with my family for the Hunting & Fishing Expo; everything was very clean and well run. There were many booths at the expo and lots of things to look at. The bathrooms were clean and we had a great time. It's also attached to the Embassy Suites Hotel, where we were staying, and it was... More

The Von Braun Center (VBC) is the locus of all major entertainment in the Huntsville locale. Everything from plays, theater, exhibits, concerts, and the like are held here. Adequate parking, nearby restaurants and hotels, and varied programs throughout each and every week provide an inexhaustable source of entertainment.

We took our 11 year old granddaughter to the play and had a great time. The actors were excellent and the seating was great. The only down side was the parking as we attempted to leave, I was blocked in my two inconsiderate persons and I had parked right next to the security guard shack.
