This place is so beautiful!! The trees are majestic and the grass is lush green! I went with my family and we had such a good time. The general admission was 9$ and my 1 year old son was free. Of course I wish the price was a little better, considering it is Gods creation we are wanting to see! However we understand the upkeep, it must take to maintain this garden;) I recommend to bring your own food and drinks. They do sell drinks and snacks there. If you love nature like we do this place is for you! Very whimsical and charming!

One of the great architectural triumphs. As iconic as the Sidney Opera House in Australia. I visited on a perfect day to see American culture at its best.

I came here a few years back and didnt think the food was anything too amazing, but decided to come back to try it again and it did not disappoint this time. Im not a huge lasagna fan whatsoever, but was recommended by friends to try it out. The meat lasagna here is AMAZING. I never had lasagna with perfectly cooked pasta with soft and crispy cheese on top. Every single bite I took was amazing. The complimentary bread that comes with the food is a huge plus as well along with the service. As for parking, there is a free lot in front of the store with limited spots. The interior is small as well so beware if you planning on coming with a group of 3 or more as it may be difficult to find seating! Overall really great and will be coming back.

What a beautiful work of Architecture! The Architect wanted this to look like a ship.We had never been here before and decided to walk around the property.....they have a beautiful little garden on the second floor outdoors overlooking the street. They also have an outdoor mini stadium style seating area for little concerts. The entire building was so beautiful that we had to stop and look in awe at the stunning lines! We havent seen a concert here yet but it is known to have the best Acoustics in Los Angeles.We will definitely be back next time for a concert!!

The best venue for enjoying concert in state of California. This place has great opportunities for photography. This is very near to Famous Grand Park. If you are visiting this place at the time of Concert you will not be allowed entry. This place is a must place to visit. The architecture needs a great appreciation. Visit this venue and you will never regret.

Great place to take photos at ! They will let you shoot anything as long as you don’t put a light stand or a tripod down (you need permit for those - because you’re blocking people from moving around).

Came here for sightseeing of the concert hall for its stunning look. After visit I should say it’s definitely among masterpieces of modern architecture in the world which you can’t miss in LA! Just beautifully designed. I would just feel so proud if I were a musician playing at this venue! Also be sure to check out the lovely community park, which is actually built on top the hall. It feels Zen and is still all green even in winter now! Full of parking lots inside, easy to park. The Broad museum is just next to it.

Visited in November 2019 unfortunately it was closed so i missed attending a concert there. When things get back to normal make sure you visit

The acoustics of the hall, pipe organ, architecture, quality performances, and easy underground parking make this an amazing venue. You havent lived until you sit behind the performers in the back of stage seating, it provides a new dimension to a performance.If you are visiting during the day, take a walk up the stairs next to the outdoor elevators in front. Turn right and you will experience great views of City Hall from a mid-level rooftop perch, see rarely see areas of the building, behind-the-scenes views of the curved edifice. Going left you will circle the building seeing a small informal seating area and a semi enclosed outdoor amphitheater and gardens.

I need to start this review with: I did not get in the Concert Hall, just admired it from outside and walk around.I guess I am writing this for those short in time, without a ticket to get in or without the intention to spend money to get in.The facade of the building is simply put: outstanding. Its shape distract your mind from each of the curves to its sharp angles to the beautiful contrasts between the white concrete of its footpath to the blue sky of California. I pulled my phone as soon as I saw the building, mesmerised with its aesthetics as I continued walking towards it. Get around one of its nook, stand in front of it, under its shade, all around! It is a stunning building and I can only imagine what it looks on the inside. I tried to get a ticket but everything was sold out for the day.Nevertheless, it is a state of the art building, captured in my memory.

The tour is free. Walt Disney Concert Hall is beautiful. We parked our car at the underground parking. The parking was $20. You could park your car at a nearby parking at a cheaper rate. We were allowed to see the main concert hall which is wonderful. The outside balconies offers excellent views of LA. The area is nice and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. The building is amazing outside and inside.

Wow, a masterpiece of a building, both outside and inside. I could not recommend this place enough. One of those buildings you must see at least once in your lifetime. Shows obviously vary from one another a lot, but mostly I was very satisfied every time I went. The acoustics are incredible, there is a beautiful patio on the top floor. Its a majestic experience. Highly recommended and should be more applauded.

Curves that cut through the sky and draw you in. This concert hall is truly one of a kind. The performance lineup rivals any other world-class symphony, and the venue clearly rises to the top amongst the worlds great halls. Its worth visiting just to see the outside of Frank Gehrys iconic creation.

The free self-guided audio tour from 10AM to 2PM is long-winded, but worth it. Its sad they wont let you peek in the concert hall -- even when there is not a rehearsal. You can park in the lot on 2nd for only $9.

Walt Disney Concert Hall is certainly an iconic structure and addition to the inner-city Los Angeles experience. I only had time for a quick walk-around tour, but would have appreciated going on a docent-guided tour of the many levels of the facility. Be sure to speak to a docent/ employee & tell them what youd like to do (what you have time for) so you can find out where you can go & the easiest ways to get there.Inside & out on a deck or in the garden areas, there is so much there to see & experience in the halls immersive environment. Free docent-guided tours, or you can pick up a headset for information on a self-guided tour.Definitely worth the time to check-out this place.FYI: In the winter months, the Los Angeles Philharmonic rehearses & plays at this venue, so the very-inner-part of the concert venue is not accessible to the general public for a self-guided walk during those months. In the summer, when the L.A. Phil. plays at the Hollywood Bowl, they give the public a little more open-access inside the Disney facility.

The world famous architect Frank Gehry design this beautiful and unique concert hall. Such a shame I didn’t have time to get in. I’m sure this concert hall is one of the best in the world. They have a tour of the property, and also gift shop, where I bought some souvenirs to bring home.

Very suggestive place, characterized by futuristic and very particular architectures, almost unique.it is beautiful to appreciate even during the day, without entering the theater, ideal for taking beautiful pictures and relaxing in the center of the los angeles district. it is one of the newest and tourist areas of the city. parking spaces everywhere for those who want to travel by public transport.in the area you can also find excellent dining options and good Italian cuisine, with Italian espresso, and its not a small thing.recommended!

There was an event going on so we had the opportunity to go for a tour that took us inside the concert hall as well. The architecture is very interesting. They have a very cool new exhibition using machine learning for the LA Phil archives. It wasnt open then but I would definitely return to check it out.

Review №38

Amazing facility! We saw the LA Phil perform here for a kids show, and everyone had a great time. We sat behind the orchestra. We had a great view, but I dont think any of the seats would have been bad. The kids really enjoyed seeing the musicians play, and truly enjoyed the music. Heads up, there is construction going on around the theater right now, so consult their web sight for information on how to approach and where to park. In spite of that, this was a great day with the family.

I was there with my fiance watching and listening to the L.A. Philharmonic conducted by Gustavo Dudamel. It was so great! They were great! We had great seats and were comfortable. It was smaller than I expected, but it gives a more intimate feeling. The architecture is beautiful inside and out. Well be returning.

Located really got in downtown LA next to the Broad. This is a must see for all whether you appreciate architecture or not. The Walt Disney concert hall will present many opportunities for Instagram stories! Striking views at every turn. You will not be disappointed by the magnitude and post modernist take on a public infrastructure! This is a declaration that art, music, and, architecture fluidly flows into one another with a lot of drama and cohesion. It’s bold! A statement! A landmark amongst the LA traffic!

Definitely a must-visit for music lovers! The LA Phil sounds great, but the smaller ensembles and solo recitals are probably a better deal - better seat availability for lower prices. The organ is also fantastic. Acoustics are very clean, except if theres someone talking with a microphone, in which case it sounds very muddy and unintelligible. Very pretty place, inside and out.

Concessions that sell coffee for $4 but can not even provide a decent cup but plastic for coffee?Box office.- I had to go back and 4 times because no one knew what to do with my electronic ticket.Service,-Someone needs to teach some manners to the kids working as ushers they are too rough around the edges.Going to a jazz concert is supposed to be something especial, with a great customer experience, isnt it?Only the breathtaking architecture by Frank Gehry saved that evening.

PATINA, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los Angeles provides an excellent services, which is very hard to find.Every dish has a nice presentation and comes with a new set of utensils.All waiters wear a black uniform. Tonights waiter is Thanh Trans. I saw him constantly smiling from beginning to the end during our entire dinner period. He outperformed others at the Michelin Star in Las Vegas.I met Kevin Welby, general manager at Patina, again and we chatted the dinner experience I had with him in this same Patina restaurant in 2006.

Unfortunately the day I visited there was no tours allowed, as they had an event inside. So its good to check on their website on the availability of tours before going. They also have audio guides and conducted tours. Without the tour there is not much to see...but can get a nice shot of the place from outside.

There is a parking lot south of the theater, park your car there and get to the roof if you want to take great photos, then go to the northeast corner of the theater, you will find stair to access the garden. Use the fire escape stairs to walk around the building. Its a must seen building in LA, specially for architects. GREAT ARCHITECTURE.

In addition to Frank Gehrys distinctive exterior, its a great concert hall. The acoustics are simply superb. If you go to Disney Hall be sure to go outside on the third floor where they have a Garden Park that wraps around the exterior of the building. The porcelain flower is a dedication to Lillian Disney who paid for this marvelous Concert Hall.

Review №66

A really beautiful hall. It is worth going to an LA Phil concert just to see the hall. The orchestra is good, but cannot compare to the Chicago Symphony or New York Philharmonic. The website is a little buggy at times, but not too bad. One of the highlights for me is the Halls organ. Would strongly recommend the organ recitals.

Amazing performance I got to see here! The acoustics in this concert hall are quite impressive for sure :D There is a formal casual dress code here so keep that in mind.

This is such a nice building and there is an outdoor garden you can check out on the 3rd floor. Parking is $9 flat rate under the Disney Concert Hall.

Simply one of the greatest concert halls in the world, period. Acoustics and sight lines were designed specifically for symphonic music. The seats are super comfortable with wide rows, making it easy to get in and out of your seat. Each floor has multiple stations that serve premium wines, beers, soft drinks and coffee. The exterior is visually STUNNING. This is a fitting home for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, one of the greatest symphony orchestras in the world.

Masterpiece. Timeless. Music expressed in architecture, architecture orchestras a grandiose symphony. Walt Disney Concert Hall is stunning. Ive seen many photos of it, but only a physical visit indulges you with the perfect balance between the still and the dynamic, the wonderful harmony of musical romance and structural logic. It has a great gift shop, almost everything sold there is relevant to music, even the purses made in Germany!

The Walt Disney concert Hall has been built by frank. both the Walt Disney concert Hall and the Hollywood bowl are the iconic parts of South Carolina. It was opened in 2003 February 24.
