Bethel Woods Center for the Arts

Beautiful setting on the original site of Woodstock. Only complaint it was 1 mile walk from hour car to the seats. Half a mile just to the gate and no tram service except if your handicapped. I was exausted by the time I got to the seats. Great sound for an outdoor venue.

I can not stress enough the incredible feeling of being here. They have done such an amazing job in the creation of this place. There are articles of clothing from artists who performed, set lists, and even notes that attendees were leaving so their friends could find them. There are interactive things to do while walking through and incredibly well-done videos. The entrance fee is $20, but it's so well worth it! The staff are kind and helpful, and prices for items in the gift shop are a tad high; however, that being said, they are still lower than in the actual town of Woodstock. There are 2 areas to peruse on your journey the upstairs is the main museum with most of the items, and the downstairs has a few really cool things as well including a piece of the actual stage and stacks. So freaking amazing! I'd love to go back, but at a minimum... this is checked off of my bucket list. There is also a food court type of area on the main level with very reasonably priced food, drinks, coffee, etc. There also vegan options available and they make the food there. So that's a bonus. Highly recommend the road trip. You won't regret it!

Bethel Woods is an absolute gem. Outside of Red Rocks and the Gorge, it has to be one of the best places to see a concert. While Bethel doesn't have the backdrops of the other places, it makes up for this with the history around Woodstock & the museum. I've seen a couple of concerts & have throughly enjoyed seeing world class performers in a setting that feels far removed from NYC.

Great, peaceful venue, and they have great performances. They do have lots of rules as to what you can and cannot bring in, so be sure to read up on that on their website. The audience is well-behaved, although having a great time singing and swinging to the music. The selection of artists is phenomenal - something for everyone. And the location couldn't be more beautiful.

As the closest Pavilion and grass seating venues to me, about a hour and a half drive. Bar none is the best concert experience. It seems every seat under the roof is fantastic, I've been out on the grass as well and the views are nice. Food and drink are a bit pricey, but that goes at every venue. Their variety of food and drink is second to none. Honestly you get a chance to see one of your favorite bands, you best go. Sound system is crisp and clean. Overall a great time for all.
