A well run facility. Great for seeing a Greyhound hockey game or a concert.

Allison Wood-Salomon

I went there for COVID-19 VACCINATION and it was busy, but well organized. I understand now why they needed the Gardens because it gave them the space to stretch out people getting their Vaccine. The staff were reassuring and answered any questions that I had. Overall a good experience. I am looking forward to getting part 2 of the Vaccine.

Jim Mackey

This was a Greyhound hockey game. I found the seating comfortable. The service at the canteens is quick but limited in what you can order. My one wish is that something was open at the end of the game so we had a place to wait while the crowds and traffic cleared.

Was a great concert venue.

denise sutherland

We love especially when we can go and walk around with no snow no wind ECT...

Suzanne Trudeau

Took my son to alumni hockey game, we had to leave because the announcer was so loud. He has sensory issues and it was hurting his ears poor little guy would cry every time the announcer talked, it was even loud to me I could hear him even when outside. The staff said it was louder then usual. It was hurting my ears listening to him as well. I guess we both need noise cancelling ear muffs next time...

Nicola Pino

Jeff Williamson

great venue, sound is a little noisy and I dont mean loud I just mean to treble heavy, not alot of fan interaction but overall a fun time

Jo-Anne Poirier

Great comfortable seats with a good view. Food prices are very expensive. $3.75 for a pop and $3.75 for a small popcorn. Bring your own snacks. Wish the acoustics were better because it is difficult to hear what the announcer is saying. Apparently it is clear if sitting in the middle but bad on both ends!

Always enjoy playing/coaching at the Gardens! City run, so the upkeep falls behind, shower heads are cheap, doors on benches always have issues and the benches need to be straightened! Ice is great though!

Lousy tv coverage, camera work sucks.
