    Awesome place to come for a concert, a live show, etc. And the gym, pool, basketball recreation area is fantastic, too!

    Every time I go there the performances are outstanding and well organized. The feeling I get when I go, is so lively and very entertaining. It feels like we have our own piece of Broadway in our own community, and I love it.

    A very well keep place, for events. What a large ball room that can cover any event, from poker, bingo, dancing, line dancing and plenty more activities that be a delight at this center. What a gem to be surrounded by Ford , outstanding establishment for years.

    A nice space. Recently they organized the lighting of the tree for the first time since the pandemic. They also had a wonderful display of Christmas trees, toys, and decorations. There was a funny skit with the Grinch on rooftop as the mayor lit up the tree. They had fire outdoors. It was a warm and relaxing event with colorful decoration. Very good use of space.

    Such a beautiful place. Spacious yet inviting. Love the stairway, so majestic just wanted to glide down. There's plenty of places to get what you need..ie..ATM, cafeteria, welcome desk, brochures. And that's BEFORE you attend your event. There's a grand ballroom, art galleria etc. Please enjoy at the fullest.

    It’s been going down hill lately. I still go swimming but not like how it used to be. Slides are off, the colored buckets that dump water are broken, diving board is broken, and the whirlpool is broken. Leaves you with the lazy pool, hot tub, and the deep pool to do laps.

    I took my senior parents to register them to the fitness membership today. While we are waiting at the front desk to be registered a bunch of kids came out running and screaming. One almost knocked my dad out. They were about 20 or more and we're running away of something. Then there was panic at the desk and the security. I knew this place is probably not a good place for my parents so we went out without registering and never going back again.

    Fabulous show by the Dearborn Symphony. Theater is beautiful and has great seats everywhere!

  • 4/5 Starpointe P. 6 months ago on Google
    Beautiful event venue with a great sound system. I have attended several concerts here over the years, and it's always clean the workers are courteous and helpful. Parking is plentiful, and the seating is comfortable. The only things I would change are better stage lighting, and I wish they would open the two restrooms closest to the gallery. Four out of the five times I've been there, they were locked. It's a pain for people with mobility issues.

    Nice, big and clean! The way the theaters are set up, you have a great view of the stage no matter where your seats are.

    Driving 2 1/2 hours to help a friend after a fire and I stopped here in the middle of a snowstorm for breakfast. Seem to be one of the only places open no one on the road because of the snow but this place was open with plenty of business. My taste wasn’t for breakfast so I asked if I could get something else. They said absolutely! The whole menu is served all day! So I ordered lamb Gyro which was phenomenal with all the fixings& soup. This has become my go to restaurant mini chain. I love it.

    This place is always clean and well lit. Have attended several events over the years. The gallery inside is a hidden gem of Dearborn. The people in the gallery are always so friendly and helpful!

    Great venue for this special event. So many missed the opportunity to Sip and Shop on Saturday night. The facility is great and had everything we needed.

    It was very clean and organized. Everything was very maintained and beautiful on the inside and the outside as well.

  • 5/5 Jenelle O. 2 years ago on Google
    We visited this location to attend the MCHC haunted garage sale and were so pleased with how spacious it was and really well maintained.

  • 5/5 Andrew N. 2 years ago on Google
    The theatre at this place is simply incredible, along with the rest of the building. Would totally recommend for swimming, watching things they have available at the theatre, going to the gym, or even just running on the track. ( Although they have restrictions for kids on the track. )

  • 1/5 Bladimiro A. 2 years ago on Google
    The wait time was insane and no reservations could be made. I came from out of town to enjoy this place but ended up leaving because all the attendants including the Manager were giving us bad looks due to us asking for table updates as we were waiting for 2 hrs. All the workers had bad attitudes and we would see bigger parties get seated before our smaller party. It felt like they wanted us to leave and not feel welcomed. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone based on my bad experience.

    This theater is a large gem in Dearborn's crown. The theater is beautiful with comfortable seating. I've been attended many concerts, plays and other events over the years. Handicap accessible. Easy, free parking between the building and the Dearborn Police Station. Photos are from 7/16/21 The Chicago Experience, 7/17/21 Motor City Brass Band.

😠 It’s just dirty and nasty at this point. I don’t even understand what the workers do. Can’t even put full blame in just the night crew cause they should all be a team. There are literally bugs flying around the facility. Little white bugs on the mirrors at the squat rack, all through the turf, flyin...

👍👍 It's a very good place if you consider cost/benefit ratio. I think it's missing information for starters, how could they create their routines?

😐 Gym has great new equipment. Only issue I've had is how messy it always is, especially in comparison to the powerhouse I went to before, in Milford, which is immaculate. Plates and dumbbells are always left on the ground or on the bar and cable grips/attachments are disorganized or left scattered ar...
