I've been coming down from Sacramento for shows here for a long time. I've seen some great…read moreshows.I've seen Marie Osmond, Johnny Mathis, Jay Leno, Bill Engvall, and others. I also saw the show "Jersey Boys" here. Every year they do a Broadway series of around five or six shows, and then they have other entertainers come in as well. It's definitely an asset to the community. It's a great venue. They have two theaters. The larger theater holds about 1200 people, all of the seats are good, they are comfortable, with a great sound system. I haven't been into the smaller theater, but that holds about 450 people. The theater is well kept, and all of the employees are friendly. Street parking is limited, but there is a big garage only about a block and a half away, and the best thing is, they only charge five bucks for parking. They don't check your tickets when you first walk into the building , because they have a ticket office and a will call desk in the lobby.. They check your tickets. Once you head into the theater. Prices are typical for what you would pay at other venues. Of course, it depends on how close you are sitting to the stage one thing. Be sure that you buy tickets from the official Gallo center webpage. Several ticket brokers. Make it look like they are the official page, but they are not, and you will pay a pretty penny more They have a decent concession area, with beer, wine, soft drinks, and snacks., the only thing is, if you want to take your drink into the theater, , and you don't have one, you have to buy one of their "souvenir cups" with a lid for an additional three bucks. Just keep it and you won't have to pay that again. The show I saw this time around, was "Mrs. Doubtfire, the musical." as strange as that sounds, it's a wonderful show. No, you are not getting Sally Field or Robin Williams, but the people who played the roles were absolutely fantastic. The kids were really cute too. I had seen the show on Broadway, and when I saw it was coming to Modesto, I just had to see it again. Just an overall great evening, well worth the drive down. Thank you

This is a beautiful and intimate theater. My sister, cousins, and I loved watching Dogstar perform…read morehere last April. Keanu Reeves is the bass guitarist and humbly performed without saying a word. Besides the over-eager fan yelling at Keanu to talk to her for a good thirty minutes straight, the crowd was actually tame. We talked to the guy sitting alone after the yelling fan left. He said he didn't know her, and we all shared a laugh. After that, back to an unusually quiet crowd. The staff was very friendly and personable. Parking is close, and the location feels safe.

The movies ten years ago were getting away with permanent ear damage, but your sound system put me in literal pain. I mean I am 40 but Im not running kids off my lawn with a hose yet... Im pretty sure its you. Please fix this before some one sues you... its obscene

Such a disappointment!!!!! The manager is young and inexperienced and very rude!!!!…read more Their customer service, cleanliness of theater 8 and bathrooms are in shambles!!! I went to see Supergirl today- they were out of hotdogs,, pretzels, medium cups also soap in the ladies restrooms. They said it was due to being busy but it was 3 pm and there were 5 people in our movie and no one was in the lobby at all. Staff were standing around talking... no one in line for tickets or for food!!!!I Disgusting! The seats are shabby, torn and uncomfortable! What a joke! I too was charged an additional $1.75 per ticket as their computer was down and they added a convenience fee to print my tickets. Without informing me. What a train wreck! Oh and parking isn't free in the garage anymore. You only get $1.00 off by getting it validated at Brendon. I'd rate this experience far less than 1 star!!! 1 star was mandatory via the program!

I had the pleasure of leading this group with a few other churches, and with over 80+ students and leaders in attendance, every single person had great things to say about this night. In fact, one of my students mentioned that, "I didn't realize that a youth dance could actually be this fun. People were ACTUALLY dancing! This was the best dance I've ever been to." On top of all that, the music stayed clean, fun, and flowed well. The added lighting package also helped set the atmosphere nicely, even in our large auditorium. Thank you, Floodjay, for your incredible support and services for this night. We will certainly be reaching out to you again for any future Audio/Visual needs!

High recommend The Modesto Children's Museum to anyone with kids. I first visited as a teacher with…read moremy PreK/TK aged students during a few yearly class field trips. The kids LOVED the climbing structure and big slide AND the water room. The museum also has a light room where children can manipulate magnatiles and create colorful light projections. There's a shopping/store area where children shop, play in the juice bar area, and ring up customers. The air flow area where children can use air to make beach balls float and color scarves shoot through vacuum tubes and fly. There are a couple areas that alternate themes and activities. There are family bathrooms. There's a low stimulation room if your child needs a sensory break. This room also doubles as a nursing room. Every single employee is incredibly kind and helpful. I loved MoChiMu so much that I got my 1 year old a membership for her first birthday so now are regular and attended our first story time at closing the other night. We mostly stay in the little rainbows area that is specifically for children 0-3. They can climb, play with light projector to make colorful projections on the wall, manipulate the giant colorful light bright wall, read books, or rock or bounce on the other movement toys. The museum is probably ideal for kids when they start crawling and seeking movement to maybe 7/8 depending on the child's interests and developmental age. My baby loved watching other children and listening them talk and play at around 6 months, and now she's climbing all over the little rainbows area and walking around to look at and explore the rest of the museum. Anywho, check it out when you can. Yearly membership's go on sale sometimes too so look out for that. You can also get 4 free tickets once a year if you have an adult library card through the discover and go page.
