- Jade HenleyMarch 13, 2017I've been here for an orchestra concert. The acoustics and sound is amazing from every seat. It is a beautiful concert hall. It is simply marvelous from the first step you take inside.
Coming to see the Time Machine for the PIFA celebration? Keep in mind that there is a daytime experience and nighttime experience. The nighttime experience starts after the "Flash in Time performance
This is my favorite venue in Philadelphia. There isn't a bad seat, and the acoustics are to die for. It's a beautiful, beautiful place.
Samuel SantiagoOctober 27, 2016The inside of the concert hall is simply amazing to look at, and it carries sound like nowhere else I've been. Saw the Philadelphia Orchestra here and it was brilliant.
Put your phone in airplane mode during concerts to ensure texts and calls don't bother others in the audience :-)
TixBangBoomMarch 1, 2012In the heart of downtown Philadelphia, located on one of the most famous streets in America. Broad street and the Kimmel Center are truly the City of Brotherly Love's premiere hot spots. Don't Miss it- If you are here to see the Flash in Time Show for the PIFA celebration, stand in front of the stage towards the cafe area for optimal viewing

The Capital GrilleSeptember 17, 2013An impressive theater housing even more impressive shows. The Kimmel Center occupies an entire city block and its glass roof is more than 150 feet high.
Really enjoyed the Christmas Philly Pops. Been here several years for this as well as other events.- AlekseyDecember 5, 2015Beautiful concert hall. Acoustics is superb, and Philadelphia orchestra is very good!
visitPADecember 6, 2010Pretty cool in here isn't it? It gets better. Check out the Dorrance H. Hamilton Roof Garden built on top of the Perelman Theater - it's spectacular.
Julia TrutenJuly 12, 2015It's incredibly beautiful, the acoustics are amazing, and every performance is stunning.
Dennis BDecember 5, 2011Don't try to take pictures. Those ushers are quick. Although no one really knows why you can't take a picture of the orchestra during warmup or intermission. Gotta make the ushers earn their pay?
angela gaylorMarch 1, 2016Great theater. Strange wrap around seating, so make sure to sit in the center if you can!
