Benton Civic Center 414 West Hudelson Street, Benton, IL 62812

"I went to SI Comicon at this civics center, and it was a pretty good time! Being autistic, I had some issues with the super loud, bass-blasted music for their costume contest, but other than that, the facilities were clean, bathrooms well cared for, and the staff that were there helping with the con were extremely friendly and accepting of my service dog! The concessions weren't half bad, and the vendor's hall was extremely well organized."

"Great atmosphere. Nice size, not too big. Only negative is the floor is only slightly slanted so I couldn't see the feet of the ballerinas and had to lean to see around the heads of the crowd."

"My daughter's dance recital was here. Very nice venue, seating was ample, area was large enough for everyone and there wasnt a bad view of the stage anywhere"

"Went there for SI Comic-Con and it was awesome!!! So uch cool stuff and cool people! Ernie Reyes Jr. so awesome to meet!"

"Not enough parking space for the event. Tickets said doors open 30 minutes before the event. Got there 25 minutes before and the center was nearly full, so the ticket instructions were incorrect or not followed. Events need to have reserved seating tickets."
