What makes it 70% Kids-Friendly: Shows like Sesame Street Live, craft booths, family ticket packs, and hall-wide changing tables welcome kids; yet amplified sound and lack of stroller storage or play space demand extra planning.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: Shows run about 90–120 minutes with an intermission, plus time for lobby crafts and lobby tours.
Sesame Street Live! Say Hello:
Enjoy a family matinee with puppet-making crafts, coloring pages, and a free Read3 book on the 4th floor before the show.
Tip: Arrive 30 minutes early to secure craft materials and meet H-E-Buddy for photos.
School-Day Family Matinee:
Attend the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater show with a 25% Family 4-Pack discount.
Tip: Book the Family 4-Pack online to save and select seats together.
Kid-Friendly Snacks at Concessions:
Grab pretzels, candy or juice boxes from the Level 2 snack station.
Tip: Use cashless payment to speed up lines during intermission.

Seems like I visited this location years ago, when I was a college student at the old Concordia University campus. Now it seems to host musicals and Broadway Across America productions and events. I'm told by the concessions staff that "Lindsay is the best manager ever!"

We had a great experience at Bass. We chose to valet park, which allowed us plenty of time to relax in the lounge areas. Don’t come hungry, though, the food is way overpriced. Some upcharge is always expected at these venues, but it was beyond here. One glass of wine was $35 after a small tip. Live and learn. The venue is well fashioned and clean. The staff was kind and helpful.

Great concert hall. Went to see a Broadway Musical here and this venue is excellent and inviting. Not a bad seat really anywhere in this concert hall. Pre-show, the drink and food offerings are nice with varieties of beers, wines, and specialty cocktails to choose from. Would go back to this venue again if given the chance.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been a season subscriber at Bass Concert Hall for over a decade, and it’s become such a special tradition in my life. I started going with my spouse, and now I get to share the magic with my kids—it’s something I hope to continue with my family for many more decades. The Broadway lineups are always fantastic, mixing in new must-see shows with timeless classics that never get old....

I have been to a few events here and they have all been great. Parking is always the challenge because so much of the nearby parking is UT permit stuff but you can usually find something not too far away for $20 or less. I have always been able to locate a person with the venue to ask any questions I had about seating etc. They wanted to charge me $3 to get an actual ticket printed as a keepsake w...
