Im am sure this place is great for smaller events but, I went to see Carl Cox there and it was way too packed for the size of the venue. I rated it 3 because it took about an hour to get a drink and to get from one side of the stage to the other was another long journey not to mention the line. The show was great after all the waisted time though.

Went for the Kevin Larsen produced Mardi Grass event 2020. I've been to this location four times for similar events. A place I would have never found or considered going, but my girlfriend bought the tickets. It's actually a killer venue for events but prepare to bring out your wild side and leave your judgment at home. Great diversity and a great place to have fun.

This event center never fails to surprise. It is big and spread out inside. The outdoor area is awesome. Easy to access from multiple points, the different areas are separated so that you can have different things going on at once without disrupting the other areas. The bars throughout are a huge win. Easy to see this venue hosting a wide array of events. Easy to get to no matter where you are coming from. Parking mostly stinks, but with the area it is expected.

We attended a memorial service here. Although it wasn't necessarily a party, the facility was ideal for the event, and the service was great. Through this difficult situation, they made us as comfortable as possible and made us feel welcome. The facility is so unique and it has a great vibe. It would be great if we were going to be staying in town to attend a show or other fun event here. We visit a few times a year, so now we will be looking at their schedule in the future when we plan our trips so we can attend one of their events for pleasure!

This place is all about who hosts the event and how the staff manages things. That said I've had some amazing times here. Very versatile spot for all types of events.

We had a great time for their Roller Disco night! You have to sign a waiver before you go in and you can do it online, you might want to do that before you get there to save time. I've only been there once so I don't really know what other things they do there besides that.

Unique. Classy. Fun. Bigger than you would imagine. Surprisingly hip. But the staff, is what really matters. Each person I had the opportunity to associate with was beyond professional, knowledgeable about the concerns I had. Genuinely nice and friendly. Great job

Had a great time at pan pot. Plenty of room to dance. Plenty of bar tenders to make sure you did not wait long for a drink. Nice outside smoking area.

I love to skate, so I usually go to Exdo once a month for their skating event and drinking whiskey from adult sippy cups! I always have a blast. Cool vibes, good tunes, with the option to just roll around wherever. There's always a fun theme too, so you can wear what you feel and nobody will notice. I highly recommend checking it out!

Great place. Lots of fun. Love all the various bars and rooms and skating!

Cool venue! Attended the Bloody Mary Fest it was a lot of fun. It’s a lot smaller than I imagined but it has a cool vibe, I’d totally go to a show here or another event.

It's a nice venue. I enjoy it most when the adjoining doors are open between Exdo and Tracks. This was not the case during the Drag Nation night I attended, which was a little disappointing.

The facility cuz a nice mix of nightclub City Street and all in between. Places very colorful they even have rainbows at the bar. If you are hosting a big event this place is one of a handful of options in the metro area that is well priced. Shout out to the security team for being watchful for any outside issues.

I checked out EXDO event center while they hosted the Bloody Mary Festival. The space was very clean lots of natural lighting from the windows and we'll marked exits. It's seems they cap crowds which made it very walkable and little to no over crowding. Plenty of parking available next to and near by. I would certainly host an event or party there. Overall great experience 👍

I volunteered for the event and worked the registration/ticket table. I learned some things I never knew and some of the exhibitors had very interesting presentations and they gave away a lot of gift to the attendees. $6 for a bottle of water was ridiculous, but otherwise had a good time.

EXDO was an amazing venue. Great space, awesome bartenders. Can you ask for more?

Absolutely love the once a month Roll event. So much fun to spend a evening with friends.

One of the best places to see a show in all of Denver! Best, most welcoming crowd.

A large venue great for dances and concerts! Friendly helpful staff that do a great job of making any event a pleasant one!

We have been to events here great space. They also have goat yoga and farmers market.

I just love the venue how its setup there's two main rooms and then there's a giant outside area where you can smoke and there are vendors it's just an all-out cool place for any event

Vanessa Meyer

Great venue with loads of space, several bars, lots of rest rooms, great outdoor space, and fantastic sound systems in three different rooms. When it gets busy, getting drink can be a task, but other than that it's a great place to enjoy a true dance club environment or hang outside with your pals.

"Roll" was absolutely amazing! The space enabled the roller rink setup. Very, very cool. I'd like to see the EXDO space set up for other stuff before giving a more detailed review. Bathrooms and building were accessible, it's right next to one of the best queer clubs in Denver.... Need I say much more?

I had my senior prom here, and it was really cute. They had good lemon water and cherry and lime water as well as quite a few various sweets for the students. It was decorated really well too, and the venue itself was quite roomy despite there being 400 students plus the teachers there. There was even adequate seating for those who needed to sit for a bit, which is rare for these types of occasions. Overall a very good night. :)

The venue itself seemed ok but it was very dark so it was hard to tell if it was clean or nice. The lack of stars comes from the food catering that was provided for the event. When you know 200+ people are coming and it takes 30 minutes to stand in line to be served food then you know the service was ill prepared. The food tasted terrible. Would rather just have had fast food rather than what was served.

Cool spot for smallish-mediumish events. Like the open layout and high ceilings. Not a huge fan of having to use their bartenders.

Amy Leigh

We were here for a gala and it was quite a nice venue for such an event. You can really decorate it any way you want to make it customised to your event theme. There are 2 spaces too so people can mingle in one and you can have food in another or however you want to arrange it. They AV set up to is good.

A couple friends and I went here. Two great dance floors, one playing "house" music the other a good mixture of 80s and 90s. Bars and bartenders placed strategically throughout. Nice space out back between buildings, get some fresh air, drink of water,etc.Plus, once a month they do adult roller skating, which is fun!

Always a good time at this place! It's HUGE and had lots of fun and eclectic events. It's also a space you can rent out for your own private event. Lots of fun to be had here!

Great venue. The vibe changes depending on the event. But I usually feel safe there as a Queer woman

Jason Janisch

Gorgeous venue, great staff, I would definitely hold my event there again and again! And Justin the engineer was the best Sound and Lighting guy I have ever worked with!

I attended a birthday party. The space was great and the staff was friendly and helpful. A good time was had by all.

I actually really love this space and it's really close to both home and work which is awesome. Bartenders are always great, DJs generally kill it. I will probably never be back, though, exclusively because of the rude, incompetent and overbearing security staff. I've never been overly drunk or confrontational, and I'm generally compliant to security staff when I'm out. So, the fact that I've been yelled at, lectured and followed around by several of the staff here leaves a super gross taste in my mouth. Plenty of places to dance in town where I don't feel like I need to look out for mother hen.

Amie Segel

Hosted an event here and the staff was professional, accommodating, and very nice. The space looked great and we were very happy. Would definitely recommend working with them... one stop shop!

This place is huge and relatively easy to navigate. I do wish the restroom facilities were maintained a bit better. I was here for a tech conference that was predominantly male, so it's kind of odd that the women's restrooms were often out of toilet paper.
