Reviews of Ovintiv Events Centre (Zoo)

Nathan Eckert

Worked security for a while there. First night working was the KISS concert. Awesome!

Cory Mo

Have been here dozens of times to watch events. The talent is first class, excellent on site staff and social media representatives. The facility is located in a good place, with ample parking and excellent interior facilities. Its always worth the hour drive to check out what they are offering.

Bill Wingerak

Needs a centre ice HD screen instead of the one at the end

Laf Ren

The staff are always so helpful and polite. Concerts and events here are something I look forward to!

Craig H

Great facility that brings in a good variety of entertainment. Because of the low Canadian dollar and competition from neighbouring cities the number of concerts has reduced somewhat. Ticket prices seem to be on par with other venues.

Ray Clendenan

Clean

Shelby

Ashley Cardin

Was organized and people were helpful and friendly. Looking forward to another visit.

Oktoberfest 2019????...Fundraiser Dance for Kiwanis Community Band. Incredible Bands, lots of dancing, Encana provides Great Staff at their Facility. We are so lucky to have this amazing Venue!

Jay Pee

Slayer was amazing

Chris Gale

Always a good time at the encana Event Center. It's a little mini Stadium and they always get the best concerts country, and Rock, but be careful what doors you go out sometimes they won't let you back in.

Sound is killer. Tix are a tad expensive

Darwin Sutherland

Not all that acoustic unless you are in the higher seats.

Mike Sikorski

Lawrence Park

I'm going to throw a birthday party on December 8th for myself

Who's The Kitchen Fairy

Music concerts, exhibitions, symposium, fun events, are often held at this place, most esp. before Covid 19 hit. We went for their Easter activities, Monster Truck Madness and whatnot. Always a good time. Grateful to have this place for the area, just wish they would have bands such as Radiohead performs there, tho ???? The place is no longer called Encana, by the way! It is now Ovintiv, I believe. But majority still refer it as Encana.

Jenine Campbell-Cove

Something needs to be done about the ventilation system in that place.

Planet Cajo

Many of my high school concert dreams have come true at the Encana Events Centre but that is the top of the iceberg. I haven't tried the pool or the climbing wall yet but the walking track is such a blessing in the winter.

Kendall Manichoose

I love the venue for Shinedown & In This Moment. No long wait in line. Big & Spacious. Great Acoustics. Easy parking. I I'll return for another Concert in the Future

Ryan Hennessey

Always a great place for a concert. The staff are courteous and give 100% all evening long. Big ticket events, with a small town feel. It's an excellent facility

Jason Browatzke

Great time even if parking can be a challenge at times

Steve Mignardi

Great building with awesome local show crew...and excellent catering

Spacie Stacie

Kayaking was fun

Freddy S

As a great experience for first show here. Lines were setup well and for most part well marked.

Tyler Palmer

I was impressed by the seating capacity of this facility. It really ended up being a bottleneck to leave, though, and it's always a bit worrisome when you're in a line up with thousands of other people and trying to hold on to small kids. WHY ISN'T THERE A JUNIOR "A" HOCKEY TEAM PLAYING HERE? I don't get it.

William Miller

Awesome,soon I'll b able to relax my mind

Dustie Wilson

Great facility

Danielle Beerling

While the venue is nice, and the staff are amazing. When I went to the Alabama Concert it was unbearably hot in the venue itself. There was no relief anywhere, even the outdoor smoking area was in direct sunlight, with no shaded areas (as I found out, and I don't even smoke). I felt sick and overheated, I had to leave. A shame really, I only got to see Charlie Major (he was awesome). Even a cheap fan would've helped. The venue is awesome for winter concerts!

Jaymes Arthur Guay

Its awesomeness

Raistlin Van Spronsen

Held our year end awards banquet here. Director of Events staff were very helpful in setting up for our event, even setting up a projector with both an HDMI cable and a VGA cord. Would for sure host the event here again. I've been to a few concerts here and the staff are very friendly

Louise aka Dragonlady

Fun little concert venue!

Michael Elliott

Excellent venue, sound was awesome

Darrick Boyes

This is amazing. Awesome to have a center like this in Dawson. I try and make most events.

End Game

The seats really suck for tall people

R Lowery

Its a event Centre. What's there even to say? "Oh gee I sure do love how flat the walls are."? It fulfills it duty at being a larger than average building.

Gerald Gambler

They put on decent concerts and it's nice and clean

Megan Morgan

Always get the best concerts! Food is great, I am not a drinker but prices seem on par with any other venue of its kind

Nice seats, very comfy. Tasty food and fair priced drinks.

Lisa MacKenzie

Well organized and excellent entertainment options.

Cory M

Excellent facility

Perry Guthmiller

Went to see John Mellencamp. Good show. However, only 4 stars. Bar was closed 1 hour before the end of the concert, which was okay. But, you can't even get a bottle of water, no vending machines. Concert good, planning for patrons, bad.

Marlene Parsons

Always got good bands great music

Chris and Lisa Hehr

Great big building. Only bad thing is the long uphill climb from parking when carrying a heavy carseat.

Karen Brisebois

Great place for ages of fun

Vince Judge

Very well set up, easy logistics for "arena", several pulled including a river pool (water flowing around in a loop), lots of parking, spacious, modern and awesome staff that really know what customer service is

Casey Cooper

Wow! Amazing customer service at the box office. Thanks so much to Lea for making something painful easy.

Diane Mortensen

Not everyone owns 2 pair of shoes, people with platform shoes are very expensive.

Very clean location. We come here often whether it be for concerts or swimming and are never dissapointed. Concerts are great here as it is a smaller arena so even the cheap tickets give a good show.

Great concert
