I would have liked to experience your event center, but couldnāt due to nonexistent traffic control trying to get in to see Jeff Dunham on 1/9/25. Traffic was gridlocked well past the time of the show opening, with no chance of getting into the venue for an event I and my wife paid for.

I am not sure what that building is for . We went for graduation. The seats are so low and so close together that your knees are at a constant 60 degree bend and so are your ankles., You can't stretch even a bit . So unless you are a 7 your old they are not for you . The metal in those seats are just sticking out ,the arm rests don't work , the steps are short so you have to be careful how you step. The doors , well what can I say , who ever designed it didn't know what the heck they were doing . The doors are tiny and positioned away from parking lots , no shade of any kind , few palm trees wouldn't hurt we are in Florida after all ! All in all the building isn't a user friendly .
Let's discuss the latest , now Jeff Dunham is world known and he came to perform at Daytona. People drive HOURS to see him . No fault of Jeff , but the even was the most screwed up I've ever been . We left 2 hrs before she show time , and all that time we spend in a line to be able to park , where were the cops you ask that were supposed to be there to direct traffic , well who knows maybe nearest crispy cream . ONE attendant to collect the $15 for parking out of ALL CARS , that was the hold up . Finally we parked , walked in to a building and we're presented with metal detectors, I guess that's ok . Now I already wrote about the crappy seats so we will pass on that .
The gift shop : because of all the traffic and parking disaster ,many people were still coming in during the performance so not many had the time to look in to the make shift "gift shop" that ran out of the "gifts" , but good news you can buy them on his website ! Now about the quality of dolls ,well the county fair balloon pop prizes comes to mind , most of the show was ok about 3/4 was pushing the merchandise. All in all for the price we paid I guess it was ok , not the best in anyway I've heard better from him , they didn't even prep the stage for the performance , I guess saving money was the key here , just curtains and as usual big screen .

Saw Jeff Dunham last night. Seating was the worst seating at any event Iāve ever been at. Cramped seats, seat in front of me was digging into my knees. Iām only 5ā3. Unbelievably cramped seating. Trying to cram ticket holders into the most uncomfortable seats possible for maximum prof it. Would never come here again, never. Paid a lot of money for tickets to sit in childrenās seats, not adults. Total shame because the staff was excellent. My husband was on crutches and staff provided a wheelchair for him to exit the event, very professional and compassionate considering how he couldnāt walk after being crammed into those horrible seats for 3 hours. The show was great but facilities were the absolute worst.

They were not prepared to handle the influx of traffic. We were in traffic for almost 2 hours before we were able to park. They had no one directing traffic except for the entrance. We missed part of the show we went to see because of this issue. We left home 2 hours before the show was supposed to start. We would not recommend this place for any decent shows due to the inability to have efficient traffic control.

The venue itself is actually 5 stars. Staff was really helpful and knew what they were doing. The popcorn is actually pretty good. Food and drink prices were pretty reasonable for a show venue.
Getting to the venue, traffic direction, and parking is horrendous and deserves less than 1 star. It took us an hour to go two blocks to get to the parking lot. Plan accordingly.

No handicap accessibility! No handrails in upper seating sections. Someone actually fell on the stairs due to these unsafe conditions. Loved the show but will NEVER return to this venue!

Disorganized crooks as usual. Missed the Jeff Dunham show because I was sitting in traffic for one hour and 45 minutes. Just before 7pm (showtime) I was directed into a parking lot, where an attendant collected $15.00 from me just to self discover the lot was full. Seriously, the 2 attendants didn't know that. I was then redirected to the parking garage with the assurance I would not have to pay twice. They tried to charge me again. I made to level 4 at 7:45pm and threw in the towel. I wish this venue would get their act together. What an embarrassment to daytona beach.

Nice, relatively intimate space with the most uncomfortable and small seats:narrow, shoulder to shoulder. Felt like I was in a high school theater.
Won't ever go to another enemy at the Oceanside

The Center is a nice venue. Some updating would make it nicer and some bigger restrooms but overall a good hall.

Jeff dunham show was great. Unfortunately during our show they had a malfunction with the lights and had our half of the stadium blinded for quite a bit of the show. Finally the performer asks if the light is bothering people and the crowd went wild in displeasure. If you ever rode frontier airlines the seating here was twice as bad. Trying to put as many seats as they can to make a dollar. Reminded me of a high school gym. No elbow or leg room.
