A great venue in a futuristic setting. It is still ahead of its time in terms of design. A great place to perform in or take in a performance.

Century II has a small intimate theater, concert hall and LOTS of convention space. The Wichita Symphony, Theater League, Music Theater of Wichita, Wichita Opera and other entertainment keeps the concert hall in demand. The acoustics are quite good and some expansions behind the stage have made larger productions--The Lion King, Wicked--possible in recent years. Located on the banks of... More

I have been attending events at Century II for a long time. It has pretty standard convention and trade show features, as well as a smaller theater. On this occasion I was attending my daughter's dance recital and dress rehearsal the night before in the Mary Jane Teall theater. When you go to Century II bring change, because if you... More

Wichita has long been proud of Century II. We recently attended a production of Jersey Boys in the large theater. You can't find a bad seat, acoustics are great, easy access to seats. Wichita brings in so many assorted shows through the year as well as the Wichita Symphony. There is so much convenient parking and such easy access to... More

My husband and I have had season tickets with Music Theatre of Wichita for 3 or 4 years now and we love it. The shows are in the Concert Hall at Century II Performing Arts & Convention Center in Wichita, KS. With the recent upgrades to the facility, this is a top notch concert hall. The seats are comfortable with... More

We attended this free Saturday, 2/2/13 event, and were very disappointed at the number of vendors and the lack of quality. Had to park quite a distance away since parking is at a premium at this facility and handicap spots are few and not close. It was our first time going to this event and we won't plan on going...

Security and cleaning staff were good. It's a beautiful place with lots of windows. We didn't like that the facility was too small for all the rabbits that were entered. Also, the separate buildings made getting around very tiring.

Went for the ARBA National Rabbit Convention. A huge facility. Clean bathrooms. Location was great. Within walking distance of several nice hotels.

New renovations to the theater stage and seating have allowed better Broadway production shows to come to Wichita.

Parking any where near it is a nightmare, they have less parking then seats, I guess they assume everyone is car pooling with a load of 5. We attended the beerfest here last weekend, was a complete rip off. Small area for the amount of people allowed in, 4 hours of beer for $40 per person? I've attended this same... More
