Go ducks! Great home opener ducks won and we got awesome duck mask! Always a blast. Getting in and thru security is always efficient and fast. Everything is where you need it to be.
I had the most amazing experience here at the Tony Robins event! Wow!! Wow! Wow! can’t recommend going to one of his events! Unleash was amazing! It was great have the event here. Parking was easy.
Saw Matt Rife here.. love that the stage was in the middle! Great seats in section 221. Ordered food from their dining area. They messed up and forgot one of the meals. Admitted fault, but took 15 minutes to get the other meal. They are doing construction outside the event, so we had to walk almost a mile through the parking structure, down the street to get back to the Uber area. Little extreme, especially since I am recovering from a broken foot.
Tony Robbins' UPW at the Honda Center: Transformational but Logistically Intense (4/5 Stars)
This review is specifically for attending a multi-day seminar like Unleash the Power Within (UPW) at the Honda Center.
The Event (UPW) Experience: A 5-Star Energy Rush
The seminar itself is an incredible, high-energy experience. Tony Robbins and the trainers are masters at generating massive collective energy through music, dancing, and movement, which is truly transformative. The sound and visuals inside the Honda Center were excellent, ensuring great viewing from every level.
Be Prepared for the Marathon: Days are 12-16 hours long with very few scheduled breaks (sometimes none for the first 8+ hours). It's a mental and physical test, designed to push your limits.
The Freeze: The arena is kept ice-cold to maintain high energy. Crucial Tip: Wear warm layers (jackets, hats, gloves) and comfortable athletic shoes—you will be standing and jumping most of the time.
The Venue (Honda Center) Logistics: A 3-Star Headache
The Honda Center is a beautiful, clean venue, but hosting 15,000+ people for a non-traditional event presents challenges:
Parking Nightmare: Due to ongoing construction, traffic and parking are slow and confusing, both arriving and leaving. CRITICAL TIP: Arrive 60-90 minutes early and use a rideshare service if possible.
Food & Water: The concessions are overpriced and largely consist of fast/unhealthy stadium food. This is insufficient for such long, demanding days. CRITICAL TIP: Bring your own healthy snacks (protein bars, nuts) and a large, reusable water bottle. You need sustained energy!
Seating: Standard plastic stadium seats are uncomfortable for the minimal time you spend sitting.
Overall Verdict: The event content and energy are well worth the effort and the stars, but your enjoyment will heavily rely on how well you prepare for the venue's logistical shortcomings (parking, food, and the cold). Go in prepared and ready to commit!
Amazing event place! I crewed for a Tony Robbins event at the Honda center and can’t say enough about the amazing staff and usher and security that worked there! They made this the best of the best!
I'm a Penguins fan so brought myself to Anaheim Ducks' home opener. It was a beautiful sight. The Ducks organization and Honda Center expertly managed a sell out crowd; from pre opening events/giveaways outside, managing lines for security (their new efficient/no touch/effective system is wonderful!!) entry and then the show! The rink doused in an orange glow, Duck masks lining every seat in a sold out arena, multiple fierce Ducks flying overhead with glowing eyes ... the crowd was energized! Shoutout to the new garages with parking included (outstanding signage throughout for easy navigation) in the ticket! My team lost but I was thrilled for the home team. Rockstars managed this event!
I am so happy that my hockey team has such an awesome building!! New parking garage is awesome!! Seats are comfy! Food isn’t egregiously priced! I love the Honda center for concerts and hockey! To me it will always be the pond!
I attended Tony Robbins' "Unleash the Power Within" event. It was extraordinary and outstanding. A beautiful stadium and the staff was amazing... pretty on point with keeping up in the restrooms.
The food here is excellent!
Went to the Tony Robbins UPW workshop which was great. I asked a security guard to use the restroom and the guard was going to help me but instead just walked in while 2 others checked their phones. So I was later told to use the bathroom at the train station down the road. Nobody working at the Honda ceneterknew what was going on line wise.

Despite all the construction parking was easy. The security was fast and quick. Seat were comfortable and so many employees made it impossible to get lost.
The new parking structures are almost done and we were fortunate to get to use them for free during the Hans Zimmer Experience! The parking is spacious, well designed for traffic flow and the entry and exit processes for thousands of vehicles went without any visible issues. Kudos to the design and logistics teams!
The Honda Center is one of my favorite venues, not just because it is closer to Irvine, but because the building itself has always kept up with the times. Entry, navigation within the building, finding your suites or seats, super easy and they have excellent knowledgeable and friendly Security and Service personnel in abundance. Once we started "looking" (stopped walking and reading diagrams etc), we were approached to see if we needed help. Wow Nice!
The place is huge but once you get in (this musical event was on live stage with giant media screens all over), the stage area does not seem very far away regardless of where you sit. They didn't scale it to the point of needing binoculars from the top rows.
Lighting and Sound systems are also very good. There was minimal distortion detected even at high volumes and the bass generated during certain periods could actually be physically felt. I need to come for more Audio Therapy soon. Cheers!
Home of the Anaheim Ducks. First time visiting the Honda Center for a concert. Went to see the Jonas Brothers with my girls!
Parking: Just like any stadium, finding a spot is a nightmare and getting in n out is even worse. Highly recommend getting dropped off and picked up down the street. Just walk a couple blocks down. Otherwise you’ll be stuck in unnecessary traffic.
Food and drinks: They offered the usual beer, alcohol drinks, and some food. I didn’t eat or drink anything because prices were ridiculous. There’s a plaza a few blocks down that has Chipotle, Dave’s Hot Chicken, Panda Express, Carl’s Jr, etc.
Seats: We sat in section 434, row R. Row R is the very top row. Seats are cushioned and comfy. This section has a clear view of the stage, and we saw all the screens. You can definitely feel the base vibrating throughout the stadium. The sound systems, lights, and pyro worked very well.
Attended Jonas brother concert with my friend. Never been to Honda center. Friendly staff, construction going on so we ended up parking in front of Platt College. The arena is super nice, sat in level 407. Loved the full on blast of the AC.
First the good. The customer service team for the Ducks game were fantastic, very friendly and helpful. All staff around the arena, including the security staff couldn't have been more friendly.
Got to sit in the lower bowl and everything was good. The view of the ice and the overall atmosphere. The venue feels like a cross between a hotel and a sports venue walking the outer corridors. It's an odd mix but it works.
The bad has to be the concession stand. You queue to place an order on a screen. You add a name and phone number to be given a number. The number makes no difference as they just shout your name. Also it looks like a mess behind the counter of random items being placed and then moved to try to make whole orders. I ordered a fountain drink and watched orders placed after mine get delivered. Also there's no option to customise an order. Whoever implemented this system should try using it sometime as it doesn't seem to save time. Spent the whole intermission waiting.
Needlessly aggressive ushers ruined my birthday visit to a Ducks game this past season. For my birthday I decided to pay and get floor seats, made a sign that was welcoming back 2 former players (no chirping), was fine getting through entry. But when I got to my seats an usher came down, didn’t say hello, just “if you raise that sign you’ll be ejected”! I asked why and he said those were the rules, I asked why other people in neighboring areas were allowed signs he said he had to read mine (why not just ask that in the first place instead of being rude), and just said okay! As someone with asd and does everything they can to avoid conflict at all costs, this negative experience and knowing I had someone that worked there angry at me without reason really just threw off the entire game and he proceeded to eye-hump me the entire 2 periods. I went to customer service and asked to move seats and I got moved further back, reached out via email for resolution and was told by Ryan Wismuller that they looked into and couldn’t do anything (essentially kick rocks). Waste of a $120 ticket, waste of a evening for my birthday, been a fan for many years and travelled to see the team recently to Seattle for my vacation, and was looking to get season tickets, never wasting my money at the arena again
This review is two fold: for the Honda Center AND for Customer Service Representative WENDY!
The Honda Center facility was clean and the workers were so helpful and simply nice: 10/10 would recommend.
And then to elevate the game in comes Lady Wendy who I found at a customer service desk. Without elaborating, we needed some assistance and let’s just say Lady Wendy maximized her space as Customer Service and just came through clutch. She’s my new favorite Human and I appreciate her so much!
Also keep PBR coming back.
A really nice indoor arena. It was cool inside and had the most comfortable stadium seating. It was a surprise, but really handy, that there are cup holders in every stall in the women's restrooms. Staff were very helpful. Food and drink stations were quick and taste. Parking was the only confussing and frustration, due to construction. Other than that, great venue.
Friend gave me a VIP ticket to see Jo Koy here and it was my first time at the Honda Center. It was packed and it was awesome!! Incredible seats and dope surprises, including a BoyzIIMen appearance after which I lost my voice. Everyone in the stadium was singing. Amazing experience!!
My husband and I went to see Theo Vonn here for the first time. It was an amazing experience and the staff here are so helpful, friendly, and attentive. The Honda Center is so clean too and has so many options for food. Our seats were far but the view was decent. Some lady spilled her beer all over me when I was sitting so me and the seat got sticky and gross. Thank you to Jerome who ushered us into new seats that were SO CLOSE to the show. It really turned the night around as the lady who spilled all over me could not care less. I was crying in the bathroom thinking that this would ruin the whole night. Thank you again Jerome and the female usher for section 442. You guys really made my night and turned a crappy situation into an amazing experience. I’m so grateful and I will definitely be coming to this venue again!
Jin's from BTS Concert at the Honda Center was amazing. Very intimate. There was some construction going around.,that made a little bit hard to exit the venue but other than that it was great.
Went to the Honda center for the first time for a concert and it was literally the best experience I’ve ever had at a stadium, I’ve been to pretty much all LA stadiums and even the new one in Las Vegas and none compare. To me the best part was how INSANELY KIND EVERY SINGLE WORKER WAS I WAS FLABBERGASTED! from the ushers to the ticket takers to security at the gates to the bartenders! My little heart couldn’t take it ! I even asked a question to a security standing by which I never do I just usually figure it out myself and he was so kind! I also loved one of the entrances which takes you to the Brewery X! That was the prettiest patio ever and finally I had seats in the upper level which is the highest level and I feel like my view was amazing. Literally 10/10 venue! I will definitely be back even if it’s far from me!
Review of the Honda Center – Anaheim, CA
The Honda Center is a top-tier venue that delivers a great experience for concerts, sports, and live events. The arena is clean, modern, and easy to navigate with helpful staff and plenty of signs to guide you around. Whether you’re there to catch a Ducks game or see your favorite artist live, the energy inside is always electric.
Parking is organized and close by, though it can get a bit pricey, so plan ahead. Once inside, the seating is comfortable with good views from almost anywhere in the arena. The sound system is crystal clear during concerts, and the jumbo screen adds a great touch during games.
Food and drink options are solid with everything from quick bites to local favorites. Be prepared for typical stadium pricing, but the convenience and quality usually make it worth it.
Overall, the Honda Center is a well-run, fan-friendly venue that always brings the excitement. Definitely recommend checking out an event here if you’re in the Anaheim area!
Feels like you went back in time.. when inside.. nice but a definite outdated showing it's 90s birth..the monitors are small very much so compared to the new.. gigantic screens damn near every elsewhere..
Great atmosphere. I've sat in both the upper bowl and the lower bowls. Seats at the upper bowl are cheap and have decent views of the ice. Lower bowls have a good view, too! Ushers are superb and helpful. They allow young kids to watch along the boards just for the warmups. Welcoming and great environment. Go Ducks!
First time to the Honda Center. I watched the last game played by the Anaheim Ducks season.
The venue is really nice. A good selection of food, fast and sit down. A variety of bars, breweries and Jack Daniels bar. California Pizza Kitchen had cauliflower crust and it was good.
Everything is very expensive, but that's to be expected for a NHL game. I spent 50$ on a pizza, tall boy, and a water.
The staff and security were very nice and professional.
Great location. Awesome food options. Went to see the ducks game for the first time ever and we cannot speak more highly of how the night went. From parking at Angel stadium and the shuttle to the Honda centre and back again it was so easy and smooth.
All ushers are so friendly and willing to help you. Great atmosphere they created such a fun vibe. Easy entry with app tickets.
Highly recommend. Go the Ducks! The ducks won!!!
