A more intimate and classy BB&T. Food trucks are great and bathrooms are clean ! Buy lawn seats unless you NEED to be in front. Great view from anywhere.
Outdoor musical hall with excellent seating where ever you are. Also grass seating available! Food/drinks with addition craft beer section in the back. Parking starts at $20 on event nights
Great amphitheatre with nice views of Philly. The small Skyline stage is a good setup for more intimate performances on the grass.
perfect night - went by too fast! staff was more than pleasant and helpful. facilities were clean . orchestra was PHENOMENAL. (Zelda Symphony!) $15 parking is a bit much, but eh. really great place!:D
Rest music and outdoor feel with open sides so music carries well highly recommended to someone looks by for great outdoor performances
If the Farm Truck is there (at the top of the hill next to the craft beer ), you need to check out the Jerk Chicken Sandwich . So perfect.
Did you know you can get here on SEPTA? Stopping at major locations in Center City , the Mann Center Loop provides an easy one seat trip to the show. Read more
Balcony seating for the Carnival of Madness wasn't the best. We would have been happier with first floor seating . Live and learn. Awesome music venue !
Amazing venue! Meet your ride home away from the venue, on a side street. They close the roads up to the gates fairly quickly.
Nice outdoor venue , but expensive parking ($15!), no non-smoking section since it's outside, and at an all ages show with several bars & little security where's the regulation of underage drinking?
Park for free at the shopping center on 52nd st. (McDonald's, planet fitness, shop rite). instead of paying $15 to park at the Mann. Also hell of a lot easier to get out.
Philadelphia's BEST outdoor cultural arts center! Fun and affordable events happening all summer! Check out 6abc.com or manncenter.org for the list of events .
Saw both Death Cab and Ben Folds Five here. Awesome sound, views of the stage, and set uo
Food is pricey , but that's to be expected. The Center was clean and the staff was friendly and polite.
Great music venue . Come with very low standards for beer though. It seems they don't know there are other beers besides PBR , Bud, and Miller Lite. On the upside it saved me a lot of calories & money.
Bonus: if a show isn't sold out talk to an usher and they may be able to upgrade you to orchestra seats for free!
Large outdoor venue on the outskirts of town . Food and beer available, but nothing special. Bring chairs or a blanket for the lawn!
Fantasia was awesome! I'm definitely going to see her next concert !
Why did bands ever stop playing this place? Greatest place to see a show in the Philly area. Glad to see it making a comeback.
The Mann is the greatest outdoor venue in the Philly area. Classic venue . Not as sterile as the joint in Camden. Whole lotta love here.
Great place to see a show, you just hope you get good weather.
Holy sh!t I think it will take just as much time to leave as the concert itself. Also. Verizon 3G doesn't seem to be holding up well . Friend's 4G seemed to be better.
Nice place- was here for sister's graduation, but complete BS that ya pay $15 for parking in the grass! Especially the graduates!
Wear mirrored sunglasses, so you can check out all the hot bearded men.
Lots of people are willing to pay the outrageous parking , so get there early if you're paying to park so you can get close to the gate.
Wolfgang Puck delivers seasonal inspired selections at Crescendo, so frequent this spot often and on an empty stomach.
Use the local bus . It was easy to get in and out of the concert and with just $4 round trip it's a great deal!
Best amphitheater in the tri-state area. Food trucks are a great addition.
Make sure you bring a jacket if it is going to be cold. The walls of the theater are open sometimes
Get and good seat and enjoy!
Formerly known as the Mann Music Center, now the Mann Center for Performing Arts ; summer home of the Philadelphia Orchestra ; nice out-door concert venue including inexpensive lawn seats .
Loved the lawn, great show!
Good seats. Covered seating area.
Everyone sounds great here.
The absolute best view of the city .
Do the Lincoln demo. It takes 5 min and is pretty cool

Phillymag Cook-off, the Best of Philly party we should have had but didn’t.
the best place to watch a show and also the philadelphia orchestra !!
Joe, Kem and uncle Charlie!
The Mann is worth the trip from anywhere!!
Getting my 90s era alternative on with @CAKEBAND
.@qotsa (#queensofthestoneage) opens with "No One Knows" of freaking course... #nooneknows
Phish phreaking rocked it...what a great venue!
Pay for the cheap seats, the ushers don't check tickets when you sit. As long as you aren't in anyone's seats, no one gives a shit.
Eat before you go.
I can't believe they have the audacity to charge $15 for parking . This is not center city , the stadium , or the airport .
Beautiful and comfy
Classic venue in Fairmont Park for indoor-outdoor concerts . Read more
Great venue!!
The entrance is on 52nd & Parkside. Don't let cab drivers take you for a ride around the park or pretend like they don't know. - Jenn Pedde
Security is light, bring a water do not pay for it. Avoid getting food. - Gregory Sycle
Completely restored. The bar was nice, but the star of the show was the chandelier! Amazing acoustics, too. Not a bad seat in the house! - Slightly Perfect
Great spot for world music. Nice mosaic decorations on the facade. - Aziz
The outside beer garden was perfect before seeing a show. - Chris Richards
This place is huge. It has anything for anyone. Amazing spot! You do not feel like you're in the middle of a city. - Yasmin Mohamed
