The Zephyr Theatre

The haunted trolley ride is NOT recommended. Horrible customer service. If u want a silent BORING historic trolley ride, this is the one for you! If you’re looking for a fun interactive experience with friends-Don’t Do It!!! Not allowed to talk!

We did the ice maze here. Definitely a fun activity, not worth $22 a person for sure, but it was fun! I love the heaters they have set up and the ice slide was a lot of fun.

The Zephyr Theatre, in the old Zephyr train station, is a magical place filled with kind and fun-loving people, rotating activities, and art exhibits featuring local artists with thematic ties. I recently visited for the ice maze that had been set up in the parking area. I was greeted instantly upon arrival by a very polite staff member who assisted me with ticketing, with great attention to cleanliness and safety. All of the staff I encountered were fully masked and safe, kind and polite, and helpful when/if needed. The ice palace was a ton of fun, from the fires near the entrance to the lights, sculptures, and live Elsa within! We enjoyed the slide immensely, as well as the "ice thrones" prior. A great experience!

Stillwater ice palace maze was fantastic!. Go at night, dress warm, snow pants!.

The Riverside Swing Band - Ridiculously fun entertainment on a large stage and a frosty evening. The building was open for the bar and restrooms only.

Had tickets on the coldest day of the year, it was fun.

Worth the drive. Dress appropriately but not to awful cold. Surprisingly a really fun experience

We brought our 5 and 8 year old daughters to the Ice Maze and they had so much fun! It was so nice to have an ice/winter event to go to this year with them since everything else has been cancelled. It was the perfect size for them, and they loved going down the slides over and over again! Thank you so much for organizing such a fun family winter event, especially in this time of Covid.

I love the layout of this theatre. It has a good full bar right at the center, too. You can set up any venue. Since the beginning of the year Valley Bookseller has had their main events here. Main the totally criminal events Mar.-Nov. featuring famous local authors and others. They do their speaking from an old-fashioned stage with the coolest couch. This Saturday is a local author showcase. Plenty of parking and well past the busyness of Main street.

Unfortunately for Stillwater, this theatre's track-record of managerial deceit, deception, and fraud has caught up with them. They have laid off all of their staff, and their Board of Trustee's hasn't any plan on how to solve the desperate financial situation they are in. They are asking for donations totally $300,000, which wouldn't even cover what they owe their employees, back taxes, overdue royalties, and their creditors. Don't waste your money until a new theatre rises from the ashes, under new board and managerial leadership.

We went to a play at the Zephyr Theater in December of 2021. It was a positive experience at the time. We decided to go to another play in December of 2022, Holiday Inn. We spent over $200 in Tickets. Then the show was canceled due to financial issues with the theater. We were told we would receive a refund. Now 2 months later still no refund, and they cannot tell me when I will receive it. They are still operating and creating more shows. I read other reviews and it sounds like a very unprofessionally ran business. They should close the place down.

This review is a few years late, but I believe it is still relevant, because the people I interacted with, are still around. I was recommended the children's theater by a friend. Went in person to check in. The lady in charge, asked me to email her with my kid's details. I did.. multiple times. No response. I went in person and the person's body language indicated that they were extremely disinterested in enrolling my kid. I persisted and got my kid enrolled for a session. In the very first class drop off, the body language of this person was off. I continued to ignore and my kid finished with his session. By the time the sessions were done, my strong gut feel was that the cold shoulder was racially motivated and I did not feel comfortable sending my kid back there. Look at the picture on their children's theater page. What do YOU see?

Terrible management, rude, unhelpful, didn't seem to care that we were there. My family and I were treated poorly and will never be back, and have told our family and friends never to attend either.
