Beautiful setting in the Palladium for concerts. Large enough to enjoy the atmosphere yet small enough to have a great view from every seat. Photo taken from Payne and Mencias Box Tier - Box K - seat 2

If you are going to have a COVID policy requiring that visitors be vaccinated or have a negative test, it needs to be much clearer than in small print on the page. We drove 45 minutes only to be denied or go across the road and have CVS complete a rapid test for a fee. This is incredibly frustrating as I would have had card in hand if I knew it was required. I have taken the personal responsibility of vaccinating and would have reluctantly provided proof if I knew it was required.

Incredible place to watch a concert.Very classy, brand new and modern state of the art facility, yet architecturally comes off as classic and grand.Great structure, and Incredible acoustics. The best sound Ive heard at a concert.Its fairly small and couldnt imagine there would be a bad seat in the house, but, I was lucky enough to be on floor and right up front at Amy Lees opening to her orchestrated version of her latest album.Great separate area for merchandise, drink stands right outside of area, and very nice and clean, in general.Well managed, with a great staff.Probably my favorite place to have watched a concert at yet.Highly recommend any chance one might get to see someone perform here !

Gorgeous venue. Every seat in the house has a great view in this surprisingly intimate setting.

This can be considered the crowned jewel of Carmel. The plaza is simply beautiful as it is inviting and literally seconds from the Monon walking/biking trails and plentiful shops and restaurants that can cater to both everyday and unique, curious eclectic tastes. Definitely a place to visit if youre ever in Indianapolis or nearby.

Excellent place to see a show. Not a bad seat in the house & the acoustics are great from anywhere.

Walking out of the parking garage doors and into the area where the Christkindlmarkt definitely felt like walking onset to a Holiday Hallmark movie! It was pretty crowded when we went (weekend before Christmas) but worth it. The music, the people, the lights... all perfect for an evening out for the Holidays.

Great atmosphere, amazing acoustic sounds . The staff was amazing wonderful place to host an event.

Great exhibit of local art. Planetarium was informative and well run. Much better than the UFO Museum!!!

Beautiful location to see a concert. The acoustics are great and the staff are always willing to help.

This is a beautiful venue for shows and events. They have ice skating outside and lights lit up in winter as you approach the entrance to the parking garage. The staff for our event was great and we enjoyed sitting in the seats to watch the ballet. The parking garage leads straight to a lobby with access to all the event rooms. Sound quality was really good as we watched Swan Lake by the Grand Russian Ballet. Awesome place.

Went for the 2019 Carmel Christkindlmarket and had a great time!

I had so much fun there. Great place for the whole family.

Saw a concert here and sat behind the stage on the choral terrace. Fantastic venue and great sound even from behind the stage. It is a very beautiful building. Staff was very helpful with helping us find our seats. Great place!

The scenery here is very modern and very clean. The ice skating rink is open during winter season. Lots of eateries and shops nearby. Parking is generally free so thats a big plus.

Beautiful place, helpful staff and free parking!

Saw Arrival from Sweden: Music of ABBA. Beautiful venue, friendly staff, and a great show! Weve been here for several shows and events and we love it.

My family and I were there for the Christkindl Market. Great place, great holiday event with wonderful entertainment. Ice skating is a fun activity for the family.

Christkindlmarkt. So much fun!

Beautiful venue with great view of the stage from every seat....the acoustics are phenomenal and the staff very friendly and full of great information!

A very nice place to be with fascinating Christmas light.

What a beautiful venue - went for a Pink Martini concert

Loved this beautiful venue. There isnt a bad seat in the house and the acoustics are great.

Beautiful facility. Only problem is it is not very handicap friendly. Almost everything is on a different level and there are mainly stairs. It can be done but with much added effort.

Outstanding, Awesome, Fantastic we enjoyed our selfs.Hopefully looking forward to coming back.

This is a beautiful venue! The architecture is a wonderful blend of renaissance and modern, with very interesting prairie style accents. They host a wide variety of acts, from local groups to big international stars. The acoustics are great! I’ve sat on the main floor and the balcony, and the sound has been perfect every time. It’s also close to some good restaurants and parking is pretty easy. Great venue overall!

For as much as they spent I expected something a bit fancier. It has an air of trying to be more which would have loved . But it just is like any other building in the us . Its still very nice though and is surrounded by a couple of nice shops . Still I would recommend the murat over this place

Carmel Christkindlmarkt

Loved, loved, loved the Color Purple play❤❤❤

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL... Carmel, SALUTE❣

Ice festival was fun and informative. This public space always impresses me, regardless of the season.

Excellent time at the Sara Evans concert!

Its a beautiful performance arts center. So glamorous it feels like it belongs in New York or Los Angeles. The acoustics are exquisite. There are just no echoes or anything to disrupt the music. We always enjoy coming here to hear some of our favorite artists. Were very fortunate to have this caliber of a performance arts center right here in Carmel.

Beautiful building. Top notched

Attended the MLK celebration on Martin Luther Kings Holiday, the performances were exhilarating!

Great place to perform. Really beautiful inside and out. Staff is friendly, warm, and welcome. Nice location as well.

Great program including performance & check-in. Righteous Brothers and Makayla Medly (daughter of Bill).

All seats are great! Acoustics also nice for all performance mediums. Helpful staff and convenient parking around.

Organized, very kind and helpful people. Im disabled and I so appreciated them going out of their way to help. And the show was absolutely marvelous! The set design was magnificent! And the miracle of changing the scenes in such precision topped it off. Yes, I was in Wow zone.😁

Saw a great jazz tribute to Benny Goodman. This is a beautiful building!

Beautiful building with lots of photo ops outside.

Great venue and great show. Really helpful volunteer ushers.

This place is a great place to take a walk, have pictures taken, and be in the great area of midtown Carmel. No shows going on inside right now

Its a beautiful place and located in a nice area. They bring you live entertainment from talented artist.

One of the best place to visit in Carmel

I love this place! Beautiful music, beautiful acoustics, perfect architecture and easily accessible

Every seat is a good seat.

Carmel Christkindle market is an amazing experience. Ice skating, traditional German food, music and beer.

Stunning venue situated in the heart of one of the most beautiful and artistically forward thinking communities in the entire Midwest... Carmel, Indiana. It is home to concerts representing several musical genres, family events, school performances, as well as world-reknown musicians. Voices and instruments sound amazing in the center of this wonderful venue. Our church, Carmel United Methodist Church, also held a Palm Sunday service in the palladium. There was a concert and a passion play and it was incredible!

This is a stunning building. We have been to concerts here several times.If you are a parent, be aware that the upper balconies which hang high above the floor have very low guard rails and are not suited for young children. Also, on more than one occasion when we have been here, the staff seemed in a hurry for us to leave and mentioned needing to lock up the building. It’s volunteers at work there every day, I think they feel to realize that going to a concert is a major occasion for many people, and that they do want to linger, take photographs etc.It seems to me that an organization this large could find enough volunteers to keep the hall open for some time after the concert so that no one needs to feel rushed.

Easy parking. Sound is top-notch in terms of the room, engineering may vary by show but if youre looking for vocals or strings (at least!), I dont know of a better place to hear them in Indy. Buy the cheap seats -- no obstructed views, either. Drinks are absurdly priced -- $10/shot.

Beautiful building and landscaping

Currently closed but opening soon. Great venue to see live performances sound and view is always great regardless of where you sit.

Stunning!

I recently saw Mary Poppins here with my two best friends and all I can say is WOW!! The theater is beautiful, the staff are incredibly helpful and kind, the cast is phenomenal! I have seen several performances here and they have all blown me away! I beg of you to go and watch all of these talented people! Absolutely incredible!

A fun market for the holiday season

We saw our first show here last weekend (Carmel Symphony Orchestra). The building is very nice and pretty grand. I feel that any seat in here would be great. We sat on the main floor, but actually sitting in the balcony might give you a better vantage point. I was surprised to see that it seats 1,600 people. It must be due to the number of box seats. We will plan on seeing additional shows here in the future. Was nice that there is a (free) parking garage right next door.

Beautiful facility!

This place is amazing, so beautiful. I dont think there is a bad seat in the house, including the handicapped seating. The show was incredible, especially the headliner, Michele McConnell. I would have liked to see more of her.

Amazing auditorium!

Great sound system for concerts. Seats are comfortable. Beautiful theater. They sell beer and wine. I dont know about alcoholic drinks. Parking can be a little difficult though. So go a little early to give you time to find a parking spot.

Went for the Christkindle market.. Fun lots of beautiful items... Awesome food and snacks... Of course beer and yummy wines, hot chocolate and ciders. Definitely worth trip for something fun.. Cant forget they have thrice skating.

Wonderful Holiday Concert. So grateful to be able to experience the arts locally. Beautiful venue.

Outstanding venue for live music. We attended last nights Carmel Symphony Orchestras Christmas show, with the Indianapolis Childrens Choir. It was a wonderful show. We love live music, and have seen numerous performances at The Palladium -- its truly one of the most fantastic venues youll ever visit.

I visited the Palladium for the first time to watch Evanescence. It was absolutely gorgeous. Every person working was very nice and helpful. I was nervous about the seats that we had purchased because I realized they were behind the stage. The actually turned out to be the seats furthest to the right behind the stage, front row. It was absolutely perfect. I could read the orchestras sheet music. The show was fantastic!

Friendly staff, great play (saw Elf) and beautiful building. We travel the country each year to see a christmas play and we were quite impressed with this facility. We will go back to visit this spot again.

Beautiful theater!

Saw the Jason Isbell show on, Sat 9/28. Jason and the band were great as usual. We have seen him a few other times and always great. However, the sound system and the echo in the theatre were awful, as usual. This time we sat farther back in row V. In the past we have sat in row C. It doesnt seem to matter. The voice is overwhelmed by the band, the bass and mid tones echo and are lost in the mush. The higher frequencies on the vocal mics are not there. This venue is praised for its acoustics but not for this type of event.

It is a very well crafted Pavilion in downtown Carmel , Indiana. The have been many of great shows done here. And alot of great shows still coming. You really need to check on the line up to come. Im sure they would have a show to everyone liking.

Easy in and out -from the parking garage right into the building. No weather elements to deal with. The seating in the theater is perfect. Not a bad seat in the house. The rows are tiered, so no head will block your view. We thoroughly enjoyed our time.

Truly magnificent performing arts venue. The Palladium in particularly is stunning on the inside and outside. The acoustics are great and there is no bad seat in the house. I enjoy coming to see the shows here, which range from symphonies to country concerts, jazz trios to comedy acts.

This is a smaller but great venue. Free parking in covered parkade. Easy and well managed!

Amazing venues with fantastic acoustics. Recently attended the Christkindlmarkt for the holidays and loved it! There was ice skating and cute stores. There are frequent concerts here and the local farmers market is held here over the summer as well. Beautiful place for events!

Excellent musicians.

My friend and I visited a special free exhibition about The Great American Songbook, specifically The Andrews Sisters. The docent was warm and welcoming...and enthusiastic. A beautiful first impression of The Center for the Performing Arts.

Beautiful place. I enjoyed the concert. Great sound and light systems.

Seriously fabulous venue. It has unique seating, you can sit on the stage and see what the performers see. I have been in the far back, which is not too far. I have also been in the front row. I am not sure that there is a bad seat in the whole place. The volunteers that guide you to your seat are friendly and easy to please. This place is a great addition to the community and worth the visit. Be sure to check out the gift shop. Be prepared to find parking, they offer valet on the south side of the venue.

A beautiful venue for concerts. Guests artists and ensembles spanning all types of music. An interesting fact: the cost of the entire Palladium was less than that of the retractable roof on the Colts Lucas Oil Stadium.

Cute crafts, food, mulled wine, and ice skating. Its a real nice gathering spot for a relaxing hour or so with the family.Its closed Mondays and Tuesdays, and the skating times fill up on Fri-Sun. Arrive early and get tickets for a spot later in the day.

World-renowned facility, Carmel-style! The acoustics in the main auditorium actually adjust according to the number of bodies in the room and the weight of each individual, due to sensors in the seats. Really incredible. Must experience a significant event in this facility, when in Indy!

I am so proud that The Palladium - and the entire Center for the Performing Arts - is located in Carmel, Indiana. Nearly every artist who has performed there has commented to the audience what a great venue it is. I highly recommend attending a concert - or 2 or 3 - there soon!

Always great entertainment! Always great seats. Beautiful place.

The Center for the Performing Arts is a beautiful venue. There are no bad seats. This place is lovely through and through. And the artist that was performing was awesome. If you have a chance to see Brian Culbertson dont miss it.

Excellent acoustics, comfortable seating, easy to find location and beautiful facilities. My first time at this location. Parking was difficult due to a new winter festival next door but we were able to walk and were not late.

Such a beautiful place! Really good acoustics and layout.

Beautiful building with great acoustics. Everyone is very helpful when trying to figure out where your seats are.

Great concert hall. We sat in the upper gallery, had no problem seeing the stage. Sound was fantastic, no problem hearing the nuance in the guitar and piano solos.Theres plenty of parking but its a bit of a hike. Go early if you dont want to pay the valet and want to park near the entrance.Also they could use more elevators. Theres only one in the main lobby, with a long line. We climbed the stairs to the gallery on the fourth floor. It was definitely a climb, someone with mobility issues would prefer the elevator.

Came here in Christmas Eve for the Kindlemart. Very cute and well put together. Live music was a great touch.

This is a really nice performance center and attracts a lot of talented shows. Its a bit frustrating that the parking is so far away from the theatre. When tend to go see more live performances during the winter holidays than any other time, and walking across the cold icy mall/quad area from the parking garage is not conducive to a fancy night out.

The performance was awesome Damien Escaobar

The German Christmas Market was fun. German food, drink and gifts. We always enjoy, even in freezing weather.

Love this. I always enjoy seeing the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir perform here.

Beautiful place and the show we saw was wonderful. Queen Extravaganza. I love this place and will be going back to enjoy other shows most definitely 💜✌

Attended the Farmers Market. Pretty fun! Id suggest a kick walk through to determine the selections and prices before making your first purchase. If you see the butcher group with the Pork Burgers, go all in!!! Those burgers were fan favorites and they didnt last long at all. The BBQ lady is one our must haves as well as the waffle joint. Make sure you get there early, they close at 12.

You have to see this place, inside and out. One of my favorite music venues. Absolutely first rate.

Went to the Chriskindlemarkt. It was better than last year, but the layout needs improvement. The central food vendor had three long lines in 3 directions. The whole market area is pretty, authentic, and fun. Definitely worth a visit during off-peak time.

Great place to see a show, and comfortable. The ushers are very helpful and courteous. This has sound issues with rock shows, but anything else is great

I wanted to go skating on a Wednesday night and, being new to the area, I decided to check it out. After getting there, I realized that it isnt exactly a good place for people who like to tear up and down the ice, but paid the $10 anyway and figured that I would at least get a little skating in. Disappointed that there was no cleaning of the ice, but it was a nice workout, with friendly people all around. Nice atmosphere with all the little shops around. Had free parking in the garage next to it

Great environment. We had a great time. The valet was a little slow.

Beautiful transformation for the winter holidays. It becomes a German style Christmas festival and has a ice skating rink.
