For my first trip to TMF I saw Rainbow Kitten Surprise from section 301. The view, weather, and crowd was great. We also had VIP lounge passes and I think the small bar, private bathrooms and separate entrance were worth it. We had 0 wait time for things until the concert was over and then I waited 10 mins for the bathroom.

For a music venue in Texas, it's done pretty well! It's pretty hot in the summer (inside or outside), but it's typically well organized.There are plenty of drink stations to be served, a variety of drinks to choose from and the people are always very nice, informational, and quick so lines go pretty fast!I've seen several artists here and plan to continue to make TMF a choice place for concerts.Only downside, which is pretty normal, so really par for the course: the parking and drinks are EXPENSIVE! So plan accordingly.

I bought tickets for Sarah McLaughlin for July 3. Once I hit purchase, it dawned on me that this venue is kinda outside (the whole back of the auditorium is open). I HATE the heat, and I considered immediately selling them. Then I thought, "maybe it won't be so hot and maybe I can bring in a frozen water bottle" (you can't) - But I DID bring in two soft frozen ice packs and a personal fan/mister, and asked for 2 big glasses of ice upon entry.Turns out even though it was close to 95 degrees outside, it isn't too bad inside. They have large fans, and I suspect they still have the AC on. I won't chance it again in summer, but it was fine. Note not all concerts have the back "lawn seating" open, so if it is closed you will be fine. Note that lawn seating was only about $5, so I wish I COULD stand the heat - what a deal!! and it wasn't even very crowded.They want you to bring a small clear bag, but you don't have to, it is just easier.We did NOT order cocktails (margaritas re $25 each!).It was a little annoying that the display screens are a tiny bit off sync-wise and delayed .5 seconds.Sarah was great - we had seats in the front row of a section, so no one was in front of me.Parking is expensive, but you get a deal of about $5 off if you pay in advance.

This place is amazing. They have it down to move people along! Quickest lines I've ever been through. Lots of concessions and bars with friendly attendants. Comfortable seating with a bit of room. Extra elevators from the parking garage. Super large screens so you can see more details of the stage.

There are a couple parking structures near the venue that charge $30 with card and $20 if you have cash. It's really hot inside the venue (doesn't feel like there is AC?), so dress accordingly

I was honestly surprised when I saw that this venue only has 2 1/2 stars! This was my first time at the Pavilion and I was here for the Sting concert. Unlike at other venues, our driver was easily able to drop us off right at the entrance. Once you enter, it's relatively easy to find where your seats are since the venue is small and only has a few entrances by the stage area. We had floor seating and the seats had a nice cushion, which made them very comfortable. As for food, there are several concession stands that sell drinks and snacks. We shared a prickly pear margarita which was delicious!Overall, the sound and lighting during the performance was excellent. Exiting the venue did not take long at all and our ride easily found parking at the front to wait for us. Would definitely come back to see a show at the Toyota Music Factory!

I think as far as music venues go this is a pretty good one, if the temperature is ok. This is a late review but I saw Burna Boy here two summers ago . We sat in the covered section. It was hot, but bearable. We sat in the first row of seats behind the pit section. The view was great. Acoustics were great. Visuals were great. The food was reasonably priced. Parking was the only real hassle. It took a while to get in and out of the garage. Overall not a bad experience but I would not sit outside in the uncovered portion unless it was cooler weather.

Yard House is what Bailey and I chose for food testing tonight. Was excellent. Nice size portions both. He had Club Sandwich. I asked for custom build pasta. Both were great. Service also.

My partner and I saw Slightly Stoopid and the Dirty Heads perform here last weekend. We had pit access and I truly believe that is the best way to attend a concert in this venue. We had plenty of space and we were covered from the sun by the ceiling and cooled down by the fans in that area. The drinks are definitely pricey, but the overall experience that the venue provided was great. I'm definitely going to see more shows here.

Oh my god- this has to be the coolest, most relaxed concert/venue I've ever experienced. My husband and I came to see one of our favorite bands, who hasn't been in Dallas since 2006, the Yeah Yeah Yeah's. And they finally came and I was so happy they decided to come to this venue. First of all, this venue is so ample for a small venue. There were so many spots to buy food/drinks that there wasn't a line anywhere. The bathrooms were pretty decent and again- no waiting line either. The seats were so comfortable and with lots of space inside the rows and even between seat to seat. They have an open area in the upper back side which meant it was pretty open but they had fans and AC helping with the TX May weather. There was a lot of security but somehow it didn't feel like it. Again, it was the comfortable, relaxing vibe this place has. This venue is located in Las Colinas in Irving and its right in the middle of this hipster area filled with restaurants and bars. Perfect to walk around and hang out before the show. Parking was expensive but I am assuming it was because of the concert? Valet was 45$ or 50$ but self parking in one of the level up parking places was 25$. The sound was perfect, obviously the yeah yeah yeah's are amazing but we could tell the venue has great acoustics. Amazing lighting. And no matter where you were you had a great view! We were in the 300's row B and it was great. I really enjoyed this concert so much and besides me loving the band I know this place had a lot to do with my wonderful experience. Now I will be looking for bands/artist we like who decide to perform in this venue to come and see them.
