Visited while on a school field trip, my daughter and I absolutely loved it. Staff was friendly and items in the gift shop were reasonable priced. The puppet museum was awesome too

Very cool space for this kind of activity. Small, relatively intimate. No chairs for the kids but it works well. One-woman puppet show was very well done, considering all the characters, voices, songs in the repertoire. Bravo!

We had our Daughters 5th Birthday Party at the theater this past weekend and it was so wonderful. What a special memory for her and her friends. We highly reccomend seeing a production or hosting a party at the theater. More...

This was so fun! The puppeteer who did the Rapunzel show was fantastic! The building is really cool too. It is a historical building so you get to experience a lot here.

Took my 3 year old daughter to See Jack and The Beanstalk. It is a very family oriented environment. She loved the show. She thought the Giant was hilarious! More...

Wonderful venue for a child's birthday party. My son's birthday is in July which means no outdoor parties, so when I found the puppet theater I was sold. The party room is spacious and the kiddos get to make as many paper bag puppets as they want which means no goodie bags necessary!! You can also bring in your own food, drink, and cake. Love, love, love this place. Thank you, Great Arizona Puppet Theater, for making my son's 4th birthday so great! More...

These guys do a great job with organizing and presenting the shows. My daughter and I have caught almost every show in the last year, and she has fun each time. The special events are also tons of fun for the kids. After the show, she'll spend a little time making a puppet at their craft table before we'll go across the street to the friendship garden to feed the fish and then finish up at the park next door. Being near downtown, there are also a lot of great restaurants and cool shops nearby to check out. It makes for a very fun Saturday afternoon. More...

I have never been to a puppet show. This was an excellent experience and the show (Goldilocks and the Three Bears) was very entertaining. Highly recommend it for all ages.

If you have very little ones, this place is perfect. There is a section for kids to make their own little puppets, a tiny museum esque section, and carpets for the kids to hang out on during the show. The shows start with sing alongside and play and they ask for engagement throughout the show (call and answer stuff) to keep focus.the kids also get to meet (gently) the puppets at the end. Very cute More...

We go to the Adult Puppet Slam the first Friday and Saturday of the month. It is hysterical and entertaining. I suggest this for a fun, adult night out.

Today we attended the theater on a field trip. At first I thought I wasn't going to like the show. It was pretty slow going at first I thought (almost like a low budget show) but ended up being pretty cute. The kids really enjoyed it. We broke off into 3 groups for the tour and I kinda felt rushed through everything. I myself after having been there probably wouldn't go again since it's such a small venue. Unless they were advertising a specific new show. It's nice to experience at least once though. I also enjoyed the woman who did the introduction on the little piano to get the kids ready for the puppet show. I gave 4 stars instead of 3 because the artistry & talent of the puppeteer was REALLY fascinating to see. The puppeteer we had today was from Poland & has been doing it for a few decades I think. The puppets were really cool too (very detailed) and he made all of them!!! Very interesting! More...

Great venue. Great artists. Great people. Great shows. Been bringing my kids for about 4 years. They love it. Also, they are learning to think creatively, how to be a good audience members and appreciators of the arts.

I think puppetry helps children use their imaginations and share in the creativity of live performance. GAPT is starting their 35th year as a provider of great family entertainment. They are a community treasure.

I went here with my kids on a field trip, and despite one nightmare had about puppets from one of those kids, they all loved it. I would suggest instead of attempting to get the wiggles out before the show, that they start having a wiggles intermission. The show is only about an hr long, but everyone was getting restless and antsy at about the 35 min mark. More...

i'm sad to read reviews of such low ratings. i saw nothing wrong with the building, the set up, the employees, the actors. .. it was all done nicely and with much talent. we enjoyed going and seeing a puppet show. it's not something everyone has access to, so to me, it's a treat. my children loved it. we saw the princess, the unicorn and the smelly foot troll. it was a hoot! gwen was awesome! so talented! there was a lot of interaction and i even liked the "get your wiggles out!" they know kids, they wiggle and that made it fun and set the tone for them. not a bad review from me!

Puppets! If you're young at heart or have young hearts (kids), you belong here. I've seen at least 20 shows here with my daughter, (she's 3), the wife as well, and we love it here. Some classic stories and new ones are shown here but always fun to watch. Suggest getting to the place early, sometimes a 100 + school kids show up and could be tough to get some front seats. Most shows can be seen from any seat though. All kids usually seat on the ground anyway. They have a membership, and gift shop, but free bag puppets the kids can make and take. Never a bad idea to catch a show. More...
