    Good place to watch a game....please eat before you get there. The stadium food is really bad

  • 5/5 Beth M. 4 years ago on Google
    Although we were up high and couldn't see the band well, we had front and centre seating with no one standing blocking our view so, see them at a distance or not at all. I preferred the distance. And the light show was great. Food and drinks close by. Washrooms close too. Great night!

    Beer was way too expensive. Sneak in a mickey or a vape pen. Security isnt very stricked 🙃

  • 5/5 Pat S. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice inside, easily accessible, lots of parking around the arena. Staff were courteous.

  • 4/5 Anthony R. 4 years ago on Google
    Great venue. Parking and getting into the place is way too much of a mission.

  • 5/5 Jesse 4 years ago on Google
    It was a great hockey venue! The staff was excellent. One of the best hockey crowds!

  • 5/5 Mark W. 4 years ago on Google
    Awesome arena! Great amenities, maybe a little too pricey, but that is the way of things. Not a bad seat in the house, though 👍

  • 4/5 Geordan M. 4 years ago on Google
    great arena good setup

  • 5/5 Michael C. 4 years ago on Google
    Ice Dogs - A fun experience for young and old. Seat spacing is nice.

  • 5/5 Steve H. 4 years ago on Google
    Go Dogs Go

  • 5/5 Rick M. 4 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere to watch a hockey game. Every seat is a good seat. Holds approximately 5,000 people.

  • 5/5 Tammie H. 4 years ago on Google
    Love going to this venue

  • 5/5 Tanera D. 4 years ago on Google
    Great family skating

  • 2/5 Cara S. 4 years ago on Google
    Good game however the amount of noise and pointless talking that happened throughout the game made it difficult to enjoy! Why the speakers have to be blaring is beyond me! I walked away with a headache! I looked around and seen many with ear plugs in, maybe that's the ticket to enjoying these games!

  • 4/5 Lindsay M. 4 years ago on Google
    Awesome time at the 🏒 Ice dogs game

  • 5/5 Trudy C. 4 years ago on Google
    Love the meridian centre! Fun to watch the icedogs play for sure! Very friendly staff, food and bevy are a little pricey, but that's to be expected... go dogs go!

  • 5/5 MiMi R. 4 years ago on Google
    Great time Go Ice Dogs Go!! Free cheeseburger night 😒

  • 4/5 Jmurray O. 3 years ago on Google
    Great little venues with basket ball and hockey and concerts without the need to travel 2 hours to Toronto. And a great way to support local businesses and charities

  • 4/5 Sandra V. 4 years ago on Google
    Hometown hockey is definitely the feeling you get when watching a game here. Watch the Niagara Ice Dogs battle the other OHL teams. They even have a very cool & affordable birthday package.

  • 4/5 D M. 3 years ago on Google
    Glad to be back playing hockey there again but not allowing us to shower after a game kinds contradicts the whole "wash your hands & practice good hygiene. '

  • 5/5 J.P. W. 4 years ago on Google
    I've been to many concerts and games at this new amazing rink. The last time was the most remarkable. I was supporting an individual with MS in a wheelchair. The staff was very attentive to getting us past the line into an elevator. After helping us to our seat they escorted us to the family bathrooms (which seemed to be on the other side of the building. ) Very courteous staff and clean facilities make this a top notch venue for all.

    Massive and convenient place at the heart of St Catharines downtown. Expect to find no parking during events. Part on St. Paul and use the stairs or the bridge.

  • 5/5 Jeremy B. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to catch an Ice Dogs game or a River Lions basketball game

  • 5/5 Darrell J. 4 years ago on Google
    The Meridian center is a great place for watching our Ice Dogs win! It's a perfect venuefor concerts,(no matter where you sit, it's a great view! ). It also hosts a basketball team, and we've even had monster trucks here! All in all one of the best venues in the region!

  • 3/5 Jansin O. 5 years ago on Google
    Very limited parking for such a large arena. People struggle finding a parking spot on the streets nearby, or in the poorly managed private parking lots. Once you're in, it is a really nice arena.

  • 4/5 Bruce K. 4 years ago on Google
    It was a pleasant visit. A lot of background noise that wasn't really necessary. The food was very good and nice portions. The seats were comfortable although very tight getting in and out. Will return though.

  • 5/5 George R. 3 years ago on Google
    Best place to watch a game in Ontario

  • 5/5 Theo M. 3 years ago on Google
    Great arena very clean and organized

  • 4/5 Emma S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great arena! Wish they had more vegan food options available during events.

  • 4/5 Mohawkma G. 3 years ago on Google
    Went to see my first basketball game in-person. The seats were alright, the music was pumping, and everyone was having a good time. They even had a cool mini blimp thing that was handing out prizes! Overall a great time, would recommend it to anyone who hasn't been.

  • 5/5 Jade I. 4 years ago on Google
    Parking wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be! Those bridges are excellent for getting in and out of center. Sound and concession was decent and very friendly staff!

  • 5/5 Bill I. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice arena friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Jennifer R. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Les C. 4 years ago on Google
    You got a love the Meridian Centre with the new parking garage it’s fantastic easy to get to easy to get in and out of and the best events going go dogs go

  • 3/5 Barb M. 4 years ago on Google
    Seating was ok, people complaining of spectators dancing on the floor in front of them in the stands and obstructing views. A pain to get out of the venue, so crowdes, only one exit it seems.

  • 5/5 Mike M. 4 years ago on Google
    Had a great time watching the Icedogs!

  • 4/5 M P. 4 years ago on Google

    They used to have an old ww2 tank outside. I tried to climb in it. It was welded shut. Probably a good idea. I had bad ideas in my head back then.
