Reviews of Horizon Events Center

Donald Ramirez

I came here for Wrestling Revolver show and it was an amazing time. Sami Callahan and his team put on an amazing show. The merchandise was provided at an excellent price point, the talent personable, and the overall show was exceptional. I dare say, this was the best live wrestling show I have ever been to in a long time. I look forward to the April 16th show "Swerve's House."

Jeremy Sylvis

The acoustics here are awful and ear protection is required not just for protecting your hearing but to be able to hear anything in the incredibly bass-blasted sound stage. It's cool to see live shows but it's no Wells Fargo Arena or Iowa State Fair Grandstand.

Tim Carmichael

This venue is awesome for trade shows as well as entertainment. The Justin Lynch concert was amazing! Love this place and all the improvements they have made!

Sonny

This review is not accurate. I gave the Horizon vent center 5 stars so they aren't punished, however. I was not there, nor did I attend any event, concert, or show in that vicinity. Google is asking me to review this place, because it shows on my location timeline. The reason it shows in my timeline is because of hackers that have infiltrated all my devices and my Google account has been compromised. Location defaults to those that have taken over my phone, rather than where I am actually located, or where I have been. Gotta love technology!!!

Grant Wells

We attended a music performance by Charlie Worsham and Brothers Osborne. What a great place to enjoy some rocking good music! I'm not sure the capacity of the venue, but being is much smaller than the large arenas in the area. This makes the experience much more intimate, and several bars located around the perimeter make staying "hydrated" more convenient as well. I look forward to seeing more great shows at the 7!

Danilo Jahn

It probably depends on why you are there. Good venue for shows, stand up comedy, sporting events. There is an overpriced concession area which sells also adult beverages. We were there for a computer game competition (LAN tournament). The place has plenty of parking and is relatively easy to find.

gerald off

this is a great venue. the sound was incredible compared to other places and considering the crowd there was room to move and breathe. It was easy to find easy parking and simple to exit out after the show. Tech N9ne put on a show that was awesome. Tech was definitely in the house!!!

Steven Niccoli

The Gun Show was good. Not to big, and because of the Hot 🥵 Weather, not many people! You had plenty of Room to Stand and Walk Around. A.C. System was Great 👍. …

Brian H

Went to a concert here recently. Awesome venue. Was able to get right next to stage. Food and soda reasonably priced as well. Had a blast.

Mike Abrams

Last minute move for our waterworks concerts, so our first time here. Concert and space were enjoyable. Will see a show here again.

Danille Clinton

First time I've ever went to a concert there. It was of course, The Best Kevin Gates. I was satisfied although I didn't buy one drink there or anything. I heard they we're expensive.

Fit Star

Good place for elementary and middle age kids to play basketball and volleyball. 5 stars.

Kymm Smith

Great independent wrestling match with Revolver. Will be back again to check them out!

Tony Simons

An excellent venue to catch a show. I've been to two shows here and will definitely return!

Tank Mkx

Cmft and cherry bombs concert was amazing nice clean arena

Rosa Murillo

It was very nice! Plenty of room, bathrooms were clean.

Travis Lenig

Had a blast keep bringing in great shows been to a hand full already . But charging for parking now.

Gary Leffler

Faith n Freedom event was a tremendous success. God bless America 🇺🇸 …

Bob

Never hard to get a drink and the prices are fair compared to most other venues.

Leland Martinsen

Acoustics are incredible in this building. Event staff was on point. Would definitely love to play this venue or work it again! Exit strategy went smooth untill the parking lot. Heavy police presence was felt and appreciated

Madelyn

Long line outside, but went fast. They do metal detecting so don’t bring anything in. Lots of people kept getting kicked out, so the security is doing their job. It’s a small enough venue there’s only a few seats and the smoke and tshirt lines went right into the concert and it was crowded. A little unorganized but still a fun event, (limp b concert)

Cullin Herwig

Nice venue, well organized and clean. Good beer and drink selection.

Peter Purcell

really outstanding property that is currently going through renovation to become even better than it was in the early 90's. Many events and concerts are still being hosted by the 250,000+square foot property. I know the guy doing the renovations and seeing that the new owners budget is what it is, the place will be amazing when completed.

Bruce Carpenter

Seen Stone Sour here what a great place to visit will be going back for other concerts!

Ian Hicks

I've been here for multiple concerts and I've attended the Iowa Golden Gloves tournament here many times. The acoustics for live music are not bad. For concerts there is rarely any seating so be prepared for that. The parking can be a little limited so arrive early. Nice large bathrooms so there isn't much of a wait during events.

Douglas Edgar

Awesome place to see a show! Never been here but definitely worth the visit! Highly Suspect killed it Son. Nice open venue with tons of room. Regular beers were 6 each, Yes Really. You can come in and out as you please to smoke out front.

Devin Johnson

Pretty decent venue for a general admission concert. Plenty of room inside for a large amount of people. Order two rounds of mixed drinks, first were very strong to the point of barely able to taste the mixer. Second round was very weak so it could be hit or miss depending on the bartender. The bar was well staffed and had no wait for ordering my drinks, both before the concert started and during the middle. Only downside was the parking. We arrived about 30 minutes before the doors opened and ended up having to park at the far edges of the parking lot. Away from the lighting which meant we had to walk to our car in the dark after the concert.

Karen Phondeth

Place needs some tlc. Definately a dated building.

Terry Ragaller

First off Google Maps has the location wrong. When you put in the address it brings you to a small strip Mall that is actually on the other side of the concert venue. The concert venue itself has ample parking. The bathrooms were clean. But it is a no frills huge Barn basically. We went to Theory of a Deadman the other night. It was all standing only I don't know if they have chairs or seating I would assume they do when needed. It is a decent location overall

Josh Wederquist

This is an event center that let's who ever pays for the event. The only problem with the place is that it holds more then 3,000 people but the parking lot maybe will hold 200 cars.

Shelby Long

I've seen a few events here. Never had any complaints. Drink lines aren't bad, and they've had a bathroom attendant! Gotta love that.

Quinn Hemesath

Huge place with awesome concerts. Been here about 4 times and it always impresses me. One minor flaw is that the security measures change every time. one day they are doing full pat downs and the other you walk right through. All were national and international concert tours. Quite odd.

Conrad James

It was one of my most eventful nights, cause the 12th fight my son : Tristan ( TREE JAMES) won the belt , he put in his work paid his dues. I'm so proud of him, love you son

Jerry Hobart

I always have a great time at the "Center "

Allison Gallington

For starters the venue charges for parking, the indoor venders are cash only. Bring cash unless otherwise specified. There is an ATM inside but they charge to use the ATM to pull cash at the kiosk. The venue is older, smaller and in a random location behind a gas station and burger king. Slightly hard to find for a first time goer. The venue itself put on a good show, intimate setting to see a good group. Security did wand search and hung around for the whole show. Bathrooms are inside near concessions as well as port a potty outside by the outdoor smoking area.

Augie Little

I felt obligated to share my experience after I read these reviews before heading to the show. I showed up at 7, an hour before the show was set to start and they started letting people in. They moved everyone along at a brisk pace and I was in within minutes. I walked around waiting for the show to start and to my surprise it started at 8 on the dot and it was an amazing show. The whole venue was misted so the lights would show better and I had a wonderful time. I had an awful experience with a venue several weeks before and this blew that out of the water. Whatever poor reviews said before, they must have heard and fixed the problems.

Corey Goodyk

Nice venue for concerts.

Kelsea

I have seen multiple shows here and the staff and servers are always kind. The sound quality is ok, not the best for louder concerts but I bet more relaxed settings are ideal. The concessions are fairly pricey.

October Trimble

Impressed I got to see I.C.P there. Also hosted a motorcycle swap event i helped at. Pretty versatile place. The only downfall was at the concert - extremely small barricaded area outside for smokers (literally squished like sardines) & due to sound ordinance, only allowed to go out & smoke when no one was playing. It was 6pm on a sunday.

Brent Farrell

The ace has been upgraded, but it is still the same, I had a great show.

Jesse Vanden Broek

Great small venue to see your favorite bands playing live. The parking and traffic in and out has never been a problem. The staff is real laid back which is always a plus.

Leah Miller

The place seems poorly manged. When we walked up the staff just put out their hands. We didn't know if they wanted to see tickets, IDs, or something else. The bartender refused to serve one of my friends because he didn't have a 21+ wrist band. The booth to get wrist bands was not staffed so we had to walk around to find someone who could check our IDs and give us wrist bands. The place was also really dirty by the end of the night. People had dropped hundreds of beer cans and cups on the floor. Maybe they should add some trash cans and recycling around the venue so it's not such a mine field?

Mattie Kennedy

Decent acoustics. Nice size stage. Clean bathrooms. Friendly bartenders. Parking is sufficent. Not a lot to do in the immediate surrounding area, but that's why they have good parking.

Kevin Johnson

I've been coming here for years to see my favorite bands live and although a smaller venue and has been tight at times it's large enough for all bands except the very large headliners. Easy parking, entry and service

Alyssa Conrad

The overall building was good for a concert. However, parking was expensive. Also they parked everyone back near a creek that started flooding, which then caused that section of the lot to flood. So everyone had to go back out in the pouring rain to move our cars which was very inconvenient.

Angie Berns

I have been playing indoor tennis at 7 Flags since October 2012. I have been very pleased with the tennis facilities, and the instructor, Bunny Bruning, is fantastic. Since I began going to 7 Flags, the club has been under new management and many positive changes have taken place. The overall appearance of the gym is very dated, but I look forward to more improvements that have been promised to come. I have noticed a huge improvement in the cleanliness of the facility....you will always see people cleaning and tidying up in all areas. And the friendliness of the staff has improved as well.

Anita Yates

First place for a first concert in over a year due to coronavirus..... So welcoming!!! Firehouse rocked the roof of the Horizon Event Center!!!!!! Staff excellent

amanda skidmore

Enjoyed a dog event here and the staff was very nice. The dogs also enjoyed running around the event center. Only thing I wished was having water out for the dogs, so I had to buy a water bottle. But they could have and I missed it. Otherwise it was an awesome afternoon to watch all the dogs play.

Ron Nicolaisen

Awesome venue for concerts never been disappointed

Sharon Beyer

They had girls and boys tumbling meet there proceeding could have been a little bit better with that many people

TONY PHILLIPS

Great place for a concert. Limp Bizkit rocked it out. $7.00 Busch Lt tallboys is a little ridiculous though.

Scott Greif

Sound isn't the best. Stage needs to sit up a little higher. Can't see from the back. Slow entry standing outside in the cold. Decent beer prices and availability. Probably won't be back for a concert.

Ashley Bahr

7 Flags seems to have learned from the debacle 9 months ago. I was there for the Kip Moore concert tonight and showed up a few minutes after the doors opened to find the line around the corner but quickly processed inside. There were "beer fairies" to provide bracelets to people at the back of the very long ID line, separate from the ticket line. HOWEVER, and that's a big however, the bouncers/event staff didn't care at all about underage drinking or (most importantly) altercations occurring in the crowd. I tried multiple times to lead someone to where the fight was happening, but he never followed. I told him details but he misremembered them. Also, there is only one non-smoking bathroom (the rest were port-a-potties in the smoking area), and in order to leave the venue one must pass the large outdoor smoking area. This did not mesh well with my allergy to cigarette smoke. All in all, I will not be revisiting this venue unless it is one of my favorite artists, in which case I will pregame heavily to stomach the filth and violence that are tolerated by 7 Flags.

Bob Sorensen

I have enjoyed using my membership to 7 Flags. There is a wide variety of equipment which is always available. The locker rooms, showers, and pool are clean and fresh. The staff is friendly and helpful and the price is very affordable. I highly recommend 7 Flags.

Brad Johnson

Hard to say as a lot of construction going on that made it not so good. We played a bb tournament there and it was ran ok.

Dahlia F

New Owners are making this gym ROCK!! It is so nice to have the passion for excellence back at the club. The heart and sweat being put into making 7 Flags the elite club is paying off. I hope more people come back and experience the change. The positive changes in tennis, fitness, and front desk will bring the club back!!

Lisa w

Awesome venue for a concert!

Emily Moss

Nice complex but not sure if it's concert material, sounds were definitely distorted. Drink prices weren't bad... There is a outdoor smoking area!

Kim Francisco

Enjoyed Safari Club event that evening. Only problem with facilities was stool in men's room was out of order so had to walk to Casey's next door.

Amber Winn

It's a decent size venue and they keep it clean.

TAMRA K

Difficult to find. The area has changed a lot the past few years. Went to IA Pet Expo. It was small, moderately attended, it did have AC which was great due to heat outside. Good demonstration of dog skills. It was mostly dog oriented, with one rabbit and 5 kittens to adopt. Great for kids.

Richard Mohr

A great place to put on events here.

Angel Clarke

I went to see Nelly VIP was post to get in @ 5:45pm they wouldn't let us in until like 5:55pm. SMH

Barry Horner

Very nice yet small venue. Maybe 1200 capacity? Very good sound, large stage, nice staff there the night I caught a concert

Dominique Masigan

Nice and clean. Small for a pet expo. But still had fun.

Kara Schrader

Not enough alcohol vendors meant standing in long lines. Sound quality was really mediocre and there was absolutely no cell service on Verizon, AT&T or US Cellular which is extremely unusual.

sK

Good concert! I had No cell service inside, and the smoking area outside was rather small, stood shoulder to shoulder!

Jeremy Phillips

Great show. Great sound. Decent venue. The air conditioning couldn't quite keep up.

Megan Sams

$10 parking for a concert event was surprising and necessary. But setup, sound and Beverage availability was good

Josh E.

Yay, first ever review! This new facility can house a couple thousand people and is utilized for weddings/receptions, corporate parties, private events, athletic competitions, fashion events, political events, and so much more!

Scott Bowers

This place is far from flashy, but it's not terrible. Very, very basic wide open "event center" that gets done bands and acts that I'd have no other way of being able to see around here without this type of place.

jeremywise1313

Great venue, concessions a bit pricey but staff is nice

Michael Van Gorder

Good place for a concert, very clean.

Tiffany Speckles

Ok place to Watch bands play except for you better not be a smoker cuz they give you literally a 5-foot by 5-foot section for everybody to smoke at and only let certain amount of people at a time

Sweet Chicken

Nothing special. It is a large place but not much character. Little to no Verizon service inside. And DAMN $6 for a 12 ounce can of beer? Yikes.

Lawrence Bossard

We seen Marilyn Manson in concert was a hell of a rock show Seven Flags Event Center was nice for being such a small place.

Rae Miller

Love seeing concerts here! They usually get some awesome acts! One of my favorites to see was Seether

Ben Piechowski

Nice concert venue, decent bathrooms, bubbler was convenient, if it wasnt so far away I'd happily go herw again.

Tim Kollasch

Great place for a concert!!! Only thing I didn't like was the cash only bars, bring lots of $$ I guess... 🤑 …

Denise Kalbus

Went to Kip Moore concert. Sound was GREAT! Do get tired of standing whole concert, but it was good event

Luci Vanden Brink

Not enough bartenders 30min wait for drinks. Hot and muggy need to install some fans for circulation or a ventilation system. oh and there were side screens but you couldn't see anything on them

Julian hiatt

Very big area, concerts sound great in it 👍 …

Brandon Leonard

(Translation) At first glance, the building looks like a gymnasium, but the high ceiling and wide stage make it easy to see. There is also a bar on the side of the stage, and it's wonderful to be able to watch while enjoying a drink. (Original) 一見体育館のような建物ですが、天井が高くステージも広くて見やすい。ステージのサイドにバーもあり、お酒を楽しみながら見ることが出来て素晴らしい。

Victorino Vargas

(Translation) Very spacious for sports (Original) Muy espacioso para hacer deportes
