Reviews of Confederation Centre of the Arts (Museum)

Beautiful and comfortable place.

Stuart Smith

"Broadway-quality" productions without "Broadway-type" ticket prices.

Wade C. Munn

Saturday afternoon sanctuary for art lovers.

Maxim Carriere

Nice theater. Either you sit near the front or at the balcony, you get a decent view of the performance. Anne of Green Gables and Alice Through the Looking Glass are both recurring plays at the Confederation Centre of the Arts and have a quality standard to it. I never felt more like a child at heart than when I saw what came out of the roof during one of them. The pun made by an actor that followed cracked my adult self right after. Whatever the way those plays are presented and the cast interpreting them, the quality is always great year after year.

A beautiful facility! We went for the theatre but wandering around the building was also interesting and beautiful. Neat infographic at the main entrance about the building of the centre. We went to see Anne of Green Gables the Musical which is apparently the longest running musical in the country. Good show - a bit campy but most the audience loved that. Tickets are not cheap but we went for the experience of seeing it on the Island.

Art is great and educational.

The theatre seems to be closed due to the pandemic but they have a free exhibit about Parliament House, which is currently closed due to restorations. The staff member working there was very knowledgeable.

Christina Drescher

Wow. My husband and I just happened to be in PEI when Jesus Christ Superstar was playing. What an unbelievable performance. I've been to many musicals, including many on Broadway, and this was of similar caliber. Amazing actors, fantastic voices. Better than the movie, in our opinion. Great job guys!

Fitzpatrick Mike

Very nice modern theatre, excellent sound and comfort, unobstructed view of the stage from all seats, wonderful performance.

Matt Jew

Historical beginning of Canada!

Sarah Baxter

Area to dress up in Anne of green gables clothes, amazing movie about confederation and cute gift shop!

A Giant Panda

Loved the fact it was so inexpensive to get in and that they had a variety of exhibits on display. They had a good variety of local art and some unusual exhibits you won't see anywhere else

Graham Putnam

So much amazing work here

FireStar Night

Went to the Mavors bar/restaurant and had a delicious gluten-free chicken leg on top of buttered baby potatoes. Scrumptious mussels cooked in a buttery brine, which goes well with Quails Chardonnay from the Okanagan Valley, BC.

Terry Smith

Great service.

Marc-Antoine Lamoureux

Always impressed by the selection of works on display. For a donation based gallery it's always a treat to see what's new. Time to expand.

Mostly modern aboriginal based art presented in a very thought provoking way. I feel like they should have the explicit content further separated since a lot of families choose to visit.

Jenny LM

Nice place to visit on a quiet afternoon. Admission is donation based ($5 recommended). Staff there are pretty nice! When we visited, there was also a dance group performing. Definitely worth a visit.

Paul Nazareth

Don’t overlook gift shop & restaurant We stop in every time we’re in town. They have one of the best most creative gift shops in PEI Also delightful restaurant that is great for meetings, business especially. My kids love to run around, this time there was a cool dream catcher exhibit. Besides the Theatre and Gallery there is a big free area to explore too.

Caroline Hill -Smith

A captivating art gallery with a truly sweet host.

Nathalie Duguay

(Translated) Excellent fast service. (Original) Excellent service rapide.

Scott Morris Rose

It's big, it's comfy, it's free (suggested $5CA), and the shows are great. Docents roam the space looking to help. The Monkman show there now took two visits to absorb.

Deryl Gallant

Confed Box Office staff are pros...nice people

Catherine Harrop

Very well set up museum. Plenty of space for the displays and the displays brought in are quite interesting. Definitely worth a visit if you like art and history. They also display work done by students at the local college which is amazing and inspiring.

Ryan Nelson

A nice comfortable theatre. If you seats are hard to the outside, you wont be able to see the sides of the stage. Try get more to the middle.

N L Bachani

Nice place to visit, the place having soveniers on sale

Mugen Power

Nice and helpful staff, cool gift shop with really friendly associates.

Jay Nygma

Had a great day hanging out exploring this place shame about the restaurant though

Joe Ching

Great art gallery... It's a really nice space. Interesting exhibit on Mi'kmaq peoples. I'm surprised it was so empty on a Saturday afternoon. What a shame.

Ay Co

That was good:)

Yan Jenny

A rush visit at the same day as I borrow books from the library, I notice the price is very reasonable, will definitely come back for the performance. Beside the play, this place have a lot of interesting things to see. Worth to visit with or without booking a ticket!

Julien R-G

A really nice lady gave us a tour of the art gallery ! Nice museum

Nicola Dawn

What's not to like. Great theatre, just refurbished auditorium and stage. A real heartbeat for Charlottetown.

Gordie Hanna

For Canada150 they have a replica of the room in Province House where Confederation all happened. And, it's free!

Master iOqY

Adjacent to CCOA is this almost free museum of Canadian art by Canadian Artists. Donations are welcome as the fee for admission. Accessibility could be improved by adding more elevators or ramps. The space offers quiet contemplation or with musical accompaniment when you're lucky enough to get in there when a band is playing taking advantage of good acoustics. Nice to walk around in the gallery before catching a show.

James “Jay” Nygma

Interesting little bit empty could step up just a bit but overall a good experience

YASSER aa

Great to visit this place

Chris McCain

A really good gallery. Small but mighty in an architecturally-cool space and with thoughtful curation. Entry fee is donation only, so it's also a genuine bargain, if you want it to be. Come for the art, stay for Debbie at the front desk.

Fraser Turner

We went to Jesus Christ Superstar last night. World-class actors with powerful performances in an intimate setting made for a phenomenal night!

Steve Wilson

Great presentation on the story of confederation, might need to review the scene with the John A statue

Tim Beals

Great place to see a show or concert in Charlottetown, PEI

Micro Wave

The people here were really sweet and made me feel special. I would definitely come back here.

Alec Brewer

i love art and some day i might sell my art

Zoey Vessey

The shows are amazing some are expensive, but it is usually worth it.

Travis Jones

Saw the play Between Breaths. Great experience - they did well maintaining an inviting atmosphere even with the COVID protocols.

Jeff Haynes

A very informative history lesson is being displayed on how Aboriginal people of North Armerica were treated by the European settlers. A bonus for the museum is they have a Ruben's...see picture.

Samuel everywhere

Good place to go... is free for canadian! ????

Andrew Kostyniuk

Great hidden gem of downtown, lived here a while and never though to go, I really should have. Excellent variety and well thought - out arrangements. Good options for school trips (including curriculum aligned activities) and group tours.

Deborah Burke

Anne of Green Gables is a great play that is re interpreted, always entertaining

Saul Grant

Great library. Worth visiting in summer, when there’s a free show at twelve.

beth cogan

Very beautiful artwork

Shane Sato

Watched Anne of Green Gables the Musical! Absolutely phenomenal! Most fun musical I've had the pleasure of enjoying since high school! Very great cast and facilities! Acoustics and lighting are great!

Nury Lopez

Guess how many nails

Nia Strachan

It's a nice place to visit when you have the time. There are books that you can sit down to read, creative pieces of art on display, and downstairs has a cute little gift shop and restaurant. You can bring a romantic interest on a date there or a friend. It was quite enjoyable.

Phil Dobson

Great production! Big city quality in an intimate setting

Aaron MacEachern

A top class musical facility but definitely NOT in regards to the ABBA Revisited tribute band. I've been to numerous shows here and I just can't believe how terrible the sound crew performed tonight. It is not possible that it was the normal sound crew here. The production company for the ABBA fill ins must have been doing the sound for it was a truly rookie performance compared to the normal quality provided by the centers technicians. This tribute band definitely is NOT of the caliber this facility normally provides especially at the rate the production company or box office was charging for the tickets. Truly disappointing. Someone really needs to vet these productions before allowing them to perform especially for those rates. I'll never pay to see another tribute band here ever again.

Jus Sma

(Translated) Very interesting. Art is somehow strange truth. (Original) Очень интересно. Искусство какое то странное правда.

Ian MacEachern

Loved it. Great place to visit, educational.

Tochi Ogbo

A great place to explore

Satt M

I live south of this building, and the best part about it is in the winter time I can go through the entrance facing Victoria Row and come out in the Confederation Mall. I love that.

Pix Bylorne

Another evening of world class entertainment at The Confederation Centre of the Arts, we are so fortunate to have this fantastic venue here in Charlottetown!

Wayne Benson

Excellent concert.

Stephane laurin

(Translated) Good service, nice little cozy room. Anne's show with green gear was excellent. (Original) Bon service, belle petite salle confortable. Le spectacle d'Anne au pignon vert était excellent.

Jack Olson

Stopped in for the video and display on Canadian confederation in the entry lobby. Also visited the gift shop.

Rob Arthur

Great space to hang out, see the art and do some crafts.

Small art gallery but have great collection!

Fantastic theatre. Good, comfortable seating and layout. Ann of Green Gables is a solid show. Mavors has decent food.

Kitocea

I love this place... defiantly making our small town much more bette place to live. We go to the Confed Centre quite often with my daughter... combination of library and art gallery next door is priceless for me.

Janice Miller

Expected more variety of artwork.

Jasmine Cote

A visit on the second floor is a must to see Philippa Jones Masterpiece.

Brenda Nichols

Beautiful interesting space

Jay B

Always lovely things to see at the Confed centre!

Richard

Do not have your wedding reception here, the food was terrible, not even what was ordered, tasted like airplane food at best. They were really hard to deal with as well and not very accommodating. This is the second wedding wedding reception I've been to here were the party had a terrible experience.
