''For the Technology which unlocks the basic version of this structure, see [[Entertainment Practice]].''
''For the version of this structure available to the [[Syntis]], see [[Medicinal Happiness Center]].''

Entertainment centers are used for cultural and commercial events and activities.

* They are highly desirable structures and contribute positively to colony [[Happiness]]. Construct them to offset the negative effect of undesirable buildings, e.g. [[Mining|Mines]].
* Level 1, 2 and 3 entertainment centers each need to be unlocked separately by researching the relevant technologies.
* Existing Centers can be upgraded to the level above (if that level has been unlocked through research).
* It's not possible to construct a level 2 or 3 Entertainment Center directly - only a level 1 (which can then be upgraded).

=== Research ===

Level 1, 2 and 3 entertainment centers each need to be unlocked separately by researching the relevant technology (see 'Research to unlock' in the table above). As the [[Syntis]] are not affected by Happiness, they do not have entertainment centers; however, they do have access to the alternative [[Medicinal Happiness Center]].

=== Constructing and upgrading ===

* Level 1 entertainment centers can be constructed directly.
* Level 2 entertainment centers can be built only by upgrading a level 1 entertainment center.
* Level 3 entertainment centers can be built only by upgrading a level 2 entertainment center.
