From the reviews
We visited the Finley Center in January of '24 for a volleyball tournament. So spacious, great concessions, clean bathrooms, and plenty of parking. Seating was limited for a tournament of that magnitude, but there was a lot of standing room.
Traveled to the Finley Center for a food show. The center was very open and fit over a couple hundred vendors. The arena was clean, and the staff was very helpful with electricity questions and cleaning up while walking around. It was easy to get around, and bathrooms were clean and close by.

This was an awesome experience coming from Minnesota down to Alabama to enjoy some great girls basketball. So much talent on display and the game has elevated for these young ladies it is a pleasure to experience the Finley center the layout was spacious clean and friendly.
Birthday parties at Finley Center
Finley Center hosts birthday parties, going by their listing and visitor reviews. Climbing parties come with staff who handle the harnesses and belaying, so parents can mostly watch. One thing that's different here: every guest needs a signed waiver — send the gym's waiver link to the other parents when you send invites, or check-in day gets slow. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular gyms.
