Samantha SargentJune 3, 2015No matter what you see, I definitely recommend getting inside seats. Many artists perform no matter if it's rain or shine. Plus it's always nice to have a definite seat
Green HippieNovember 1, 2016Love the SPAC! Good semi-indoor/outdoor music venue. Hosts a variety of performing arts shows like concerts, ballets, orchestras etc.
MitzieJuly 8, 2013Trails were great. If you have lawn tickets it gets really packed so get inside early. And you will definitely need to wash your feet when you leave if you choose flip flops.
Michael Dylan FerraraJuly 5, 2017One of the best outdoor venues ever. Splurge for a seat tho, a muddy lawn can be disastrous.
Nicholas CarsaJuly 12, 2017Come to #SPAC when The Dave Matthews Band is in town. You won't regret this decision.
Wonderful venue. I feel like I grew up on the lawn. Wish they’d have more weeks of ballet and more imaginative programming.
Sara S DJuly 8, 2013If you're in the pavilion, there are bathrooms all the way down the stairs to the left of the stage. No need to go out and have to have your ticket rechecked.
Colleen MeganSeptember 2, 2014The music quality was great but compared to Bethel Woods and Hartford this place cannot handle a crowd there's not enough space for all the people they allow in.
- Samara S.January 19, 2015Great place to see concerts. From Lil Wayne to Dave Matthews Band. There's a huge variety & you're sure to have an awesome time
Located in the Saratoga Spa State Park, SPAC is gorgeous! Check out the wildlife-- there are usually woodchucks along the Avenue of the Pines, woodpeckers, rabbits, squirrels, turtles and even deer. A
Vincent AsaroJuly 19, 2019It was a wonderful place to see a show. Beautiful setting. Cheaper lawn seats available. Forget the food. Unhealthy choices, Very expensive and 17 dollars for a beer. Really????- SPAC is a great place to be in the summer! The New York City Ballet is in its residency now and the pre-performance promotions have been so much fun this year! I can't wait for the Philadelphia Orch!
- I highly recommend seeing a concert here. From the Philadelphia Orchestra and the NY City Ballet to Dave Matthews Band and Phish, it's an awesome venue in a gorgeous setting.
MarcJune 28, 2013Drove 3 hours to see Rush. Excellent concert venue, but the parking situation needs to be addressed and planned. Rush was at their best.
Rock, pop, country, orchestral, and ballet. Much more open to alcohol consumption since moving away from Biergarten.
sugardaddie.comOctober 3, 2013Remember to get there early or you may be walking a long way! Hang out in the park and then go over to SPAC
LizJune 29, 2013Best summer concerts!!! Hewy Lewis, Earth Wind & Fire and Meatloaf were my faves in the past. A must-do if you're close by.
Erica BulsheyAugust 18, 2014Great venue, pricey beer and food. Bring a lawn chair and enjoy the music!
VH1July 21, 2010Grab your favorite beverage after the show at the Tin N Lint Pub in downtown Saratoga Springs, where Don McClean wrote the song “American Pie”. – Team Live Nation
Sherry AdamsJuly 6, 2013Parking isn't always easy. The lawn kinda stinks. The pavilion by far is worth the price, sound is brilliant, compared to the lawn.
You can bring a 1 gallon factory sealed water bottle and 1 gallon ziplock bag of food to concerts. NYC Ballet, Philadelphia Orchestra, Jazzfest, DMB, and Phish. SPAC is beautiful. Read more
The back entrance is key. Do not get herded on that main gate bridge. Trust.
Larry RiceJuly 16, 2011If you're on the Lawn, note that only *short* lawn chairs are allowed in the center section. We got busted by the chair police.
Ashleigh DunbarJune 9, 2012DO NOT drink beer or alcohol straight from the bottle or can because when the SPAC police find you, you dump every ounce of alcohol you have. they're no joke.
Times UnionMay 18, 2010You can probably...errr...maybe find a spot in the parking lot to people-watch and listen to the Dave Matthews Band on Friday, June 4, 7 p.m., or Saturday, June 5, 6 p.m.
- A Philadelphia Orchestra performance on a warm summer night is a real treat!
- You can bring any foods/drinks in on the lawn for ballet, orchestra and jazz! Lawn party!!!
Ryan HelmsJune 16, 2016Worst venue ever. Don't bring a big camera. You'll have to check it. It took hours to get out of the parking lot. Lost the tag on our camera. Just a terrible venue

Not worth it to be on the lawn. Must have seats at this venue.
Andrew WieseAugust 25, 2013This is the crappiest venue ever. You can't see shit with lawn seats. It's over crowded and ill never come back here again.
