Beautiful grounds, especially with night lights. Seats in theater were comfy and leaned back. Exit was a little confusing because it brought us out away from the parking lot.

It's a good place to rent for any kind of events. You can just rent the lobby or theater. The theater fits about 950 persons. The lobby can be converted into any theme. Ceilings are high. It can accommodate maybe 500 or more persons.

Absolutely gorgeous space. We came to see "please don't destroy" here and the space felt immediately homey. It was our first time at the venue and we were quickly checked in and funneled into the main waiting space where the cocktail bar was located. With high ceilings and historical sculptures it's clear that there are a variety of different events could be held here and the space would transform to it!! The acoustics were great and the sound system worked amazingly throughout the theater. Great venue!

I went to the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre this past weekend to watch a podcast live. For some reason, I've never realized there was actually a theatre here! I'd been to the Palace of Fine Arts many times before, but it was years ago when the Exploratorium was still here.The entrance to the theatre is in the back of the building. So if you're at the Palace of Fine Arts, you'll go around the building to the other side. The entrance is marked by a small awning. There's not a lot of parking in the area so I'd highly recommend coming early to find a spot in nearby neighborhoods or catching a ride/uber/lyft.There's snacks and drinks available for purchase in the theatre lobby. However, you're not allowed to eat the food while in the theatre so if you're hungry, plan to spend a bit of time in the lobby snacking beforehand. You can bring drinks inside as long as it's got a lid. There aren't a lot of bathroom stalls either, which was surprising to me considering how large the theatre was. Use it before the show or plan to wait in line for awhile after the show.The theatre itself is large but not super huge. There's only one level (the orchestra space) and no balcony. It's a good view from any seat in the house, and luckily I was seated in the middle front area. After the show was over, there were quite a few people waiting outside to get picked up. There was a little traffic with all the cars coming through the back area so it might be faster if you met your lyft/uber by the Palace of Fine Arts or if you walk out a bit to the Marina. As long as you don't mind the walk, you'll get the shorter wait and your driver will be glad to not wait in the traffic!

The Palace of Fine Arts is a monumental structure located in the Marina District of San Francisco, California, originally constructed for the 1915 Panama–Pacific International Exposition to exhibit works of art. Completely rebuilt from 1964 to 1974, it is the only structure from the exposition that survives on site. -wiki

I love this venue. There is probably not a bad seat in the house. The concessions stand will sell something yummy that is not junk snacks, like a sandwich if you need something more substantial. Junk snacks are also available. Parking can be tight. The seats are older and can be a challenge for larger sized folks. Also, there are no aisles, so try not to get up mid-show for the bathroom.

Despite being a local all my life to San Francisco, I've never seen a performance at the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre until Dita Von Teese came for her Glamonatrix Tour in January 2023. It was rather difficult and confusing to find the entrance to the theatre, and it wasn't us, lots of people were lost and wondering where the entrance was. This is a beautiful and spacious theatre. Boyfriend and I sat to the right near the front, and we had a great view of the stage and performance! We had a wonderful and beautiful night out, despite the heavy storm!

It is a beautiful building, with stunning architecture from a bygone era. Interesting history and beautiful grounds for photography.

The most beautiful monument in San Francisco. It’s the gem of the Marina district.
