  "The Flynn is a staple of Burlington! I loved going to shows as a child myself and now I love bringing my own children! The historic feel inside is amazing to experience every single time you visit. Shows brought to the theater have such a wide, diverse background and fit everyone’s needs. Love this place."

  "We love going to the Flynn. My daughter really enjoyed the Nutcracker. Bluey is one show that her and her 10 year old brother would watch together, so we would love to see the show if possible!"

  "The Flynn is an amazing theater right in our small downtown! The Flynn is our summer home, with so many great camps it's hard to choose. We highly recommend any show, camp, performance you can get tickets to. And there's no bad seat in the theater. Go now!"

  "So thankful to have a local venue bringing kid-friendly shows to our area. With our long Vermont winters, it's nice to have special activities to combat cabin fever!"

  "The Flynn Center is a cultural resource that brings together community members of all ages. The beautifully restored Art Deco building is centrally located and artfully showcases talented artists from around the world. The seats are a little close together but the front row balcony has a little extra leg room and great views. I love giving tickets to shows as a gift for friends and family!"

  "The Flynn Center is an essential element in the NVT community. While it's great for parents to get out and catch a show, it's even cooler to me that it serves as a place for our 3-year-old to be inspired by the arts. From the kids' programming to shows like the Nutcracker, the Flynn serves as a special place which will remain near and dear to our little one for decades to come! Love it!"

  "We love going to the Flynn! It doesn’t matter where you sit you will always have a great view! We have seen plays, comedians and orchestras. The location is in beautiful Burlington so grabbing dinner and a show is no problem. I highly recommend trying the Flynn for family entertainment and adult night out."

  "We love the Flynn Center for Performing Arts as a venue, especially for kid's events. Not only is it small enough, it is not overwhelming for small children. We have attended many events here and the location is great, parking isn't too bad, and we always have a lot of fun! Would definitely recommend the Flynn for any family looking to catch many of their wonderful concerts, programs, and activities."

  "My daughter attended Fairy Tale Ballet and had the most amazing experience. Her teachers formed a bond that was so sweet to see. They only have a week! She learned about dance in a very relaxed atmosphere and the students were encouraged to try dance at their own pace. The fairy tale aspect was delightful. I expected quality from the Flynn programs and was not disappointed!"

  "What would Burlington be without the Flynn Theatre? Each year they bring to our community multiple youth and family productions. As well, they provide summer camps and classes throughout the year. The venue itself is so grand with its stylish modernism. The Art Deco MainStage was fully restored in 2000. This has been a great way to introduce our children to the arts from a very young age."

  "We have been to shows many times such as David Copperfield and many shows based off books. Our son has a special need and the theater has always been welcoming to our family. We would love to see more kids shows but are glad that the Flynn does as many as they have."

  "I am a grandmother of (4) wonderful children and I am the one who can't wait to be a chaperone with a group of kids, I know I have just as much fun if not more than they do. What a great way to expose them at a young age the diversity of theater and the captivating show. I am a Huge Eric Carle fan and can't wait until his stuff comes around again. Thanks Flynn for the adventures in dreamland."

  "The Flynn does a great job bringing high quality performances for children to Burlington. My son has particularly enjoyed the Eric Carle puppet shows (I was as entertained as he was). Just being in the beautiful theater at the Flynn has itself been a cultural experience for my kids."

  "The Flynn venue is a unique & beautiful with the art deco decor intact; My husband and I have attended a few Capitol steps concerts, Lyric productions, and have found the staff to be quite helpful. Sometimes parking can be tricky, but downtown Burlington's parking is left to be desired at times."

  "I LOVE the Flynn for the variety of works they bring to Burlington. Rarely have I had a bad seat and the staff and volunteers are always courteous and friendly. Occasionally ticket prices are above my budget, but I understand how expensive it is to bring in touring shows."

  "My wife and I moved back to Vermont because of the Flynn. The quality and variety of performances are far superior to any other city of Burlington's size. Great acoustics, not a bad seat in the house, and pink art deco walls! What else could anyone want?"

  "The family and children's shows at the Flynn are excellent. It is a wonderful way to introduce performing arts to your family. Going to a show at the Flynn is very low on the hassle scale- parking nearby, places to eat before or after, and a terrific experience for the family."
