Benson Great Hall - Performing arts theater in Arden Hills - 3900 Bethel Dr, USA

I was here with my wife and son for a production of Beauty and the Beast. This was the first time I had been to this particular facility, and we all really enjoyed it. The staff that we encountered prior to the performance were very friendly, and they were helpful in guiding us to our seats. The performance itself was really good!! I was impressed with the stage settings/transitions, and all of the performers were at the top of their game. I'm pretty sure we will be attending more performances here in the future. We were all very impressed.

The annual Festival of Christmas was a wonderful experience. This week, we took the entire family -- with grandkids -- to see Beauty and the Beast. I also attended the Pipe Dreams Anniversary Concert here and experienced the power of that organ. Great performances in a wonderful space!

Went to Bethel University’s Christmas Concert. The concert was great. Definitely do this again.

While a lovely performance space the seats are too low, too small, and too close together for most adults over the age of 50. The space is mostly wheelchair chair accessible although I didn't see a handicapped seating area inside the auditorium... May have just missed seeing it. I have attended the performances here for a few years and the parking situation is inadequate for the crowd of parents, grandparents, and other relatives who attend. The college clearly rented lights for the weekend, so they need more permanent lighting. There are never enough handicapped spaces for these events.

We went for our first time at Benson Hall to hear the Minnesota Saints chorale & Orchestra. It was one of the best Christmas concerts we have attended. The choir and orchestra were amazing. The acoustics, organ and Christmas decorations really made the concert experience so much better. We loved the comfy chairs, spacious hall and Harlow restrooms (no lines). The parking was easily accessible across the street. This is a wonderful place to experience.

The campus is beautiful! Attended a Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra concert. It would be nice if they had valet, there is parking on campus but the parking lots can be icy and you might have to walk some distance to get inside the building. The concert hall could use some updating. The colors could be updated, the seats could be a little wider (felt like an airplane). If you've got a bigger bottom or longer legs, you might not be the most comfortable. There were lines to pick up tickets and to be seated.

Just a lovely place to enjoy my daughters violin concert.

Swung through for a weekend event that was held here. Everything was very clean and the hallways were wide. Bathrooms had plenty of stalls. There's definitely an upside to all those private school tuition dollars.
