There is a mural of immigrants on one side of the station which represents the diversity of the people in LA. This train station is known as the "Last of the Great Railway Stations" built in the United States. It is also very convenient instead of making the drive to DTLA sometimes. There is a lot to see and it is right across from the famous Olvera St and LA Chinatown. So many food places to eat and great dim sum! During the summer, you can get Metrolink tickets for just $10 on any weekend day. Yelp Review #59- 2026

Didn't plan on being at Union Station in Los Angeles, but when airfare can be more expensive and…read moreUbers are more crazy, you look for alternatives. I needed to get from LAX to Irvine on the cheap and looked at my alternatives. After looking at Greyhound and other airport shuttle services in the area, I decided to take the Amtrak that departed from Union Station Los Angeles to Irvine. It was not a short ride by any means, but it was convenient for me to get to where I wanted to go for a decent price. I booked the Amtrak ticket online about 2 days before arriving in Los Angeles. It was a fair price and definitely cheaper than an Uber ride. I was shocked at how much an Uber ride is in Los Angeles compared to the Amtrak. I arrived at Union Station around 6:30am on a Saturday morning in mid September 2026 after getting off a LAX FlyAway bus from LAX. I had time to kill and I walked around Union Station. Felt like a run down building but had its usual modern refinements. Even if its 2026, it felt like being in the 1960's and it's a train depot. With every modern enhancement here and concessions here, it felt like Union station was in a time warp, but we do need trains to get people and goods where they need to be. My time here at Union Station Los Angeles was brief. Even an Amtrak staff member who was driving in a golf cart saw me waiting on the platform told me to take an earlier train instead of waiting, but I decided to wait for my ticketed train anyway (an hour later). Thought that was weird. I walked around Union Station to kill time and when it was time to, I walked back to platform 9 with 15 minutes till departure and boarded the Surfrider train bound for San Diego and getting off at Irvine station. Union Station has limited concessions here but at least there's restrooms and places to sit down to wait for your train out of Los Angeles. The overall experience here at Union Station was typical. It is a waystation for those who are commuting on the Amtrak. It is a nice building for the Amtrak hub for all trains passing thru the Los Angeles corridor. The building is dated but it works for most people who are traveling on Amtrak and the Metrolink on any given casual day. For the most part though, my experience here was good and uneventful. I saw a couple of people talking out loud and could have been homeless. I'm thankful that Union Station is predominately safe and have uniformed security around to make sure that everyone is safe and secured. And so, if you are coming or going inside Los Angeles and want to find alternatives to air travel, consider Amtrak and Union Station Los Angeles for your way out of California and where you want to be. Union Station Los Angeles is located at 800 N Alameda Street in downtown Los Angeles, California. It's a main hub for Amtrak and a gateway to cities north, east, and south of the city. All Amtrak tickets can be purchased at Union Station Amtrak kiosks or online at Amtrak's website in advance. The tickets are fairly cheap, depending on how far you travel. Only thing about train travel is that its fairly slower than air travel, but it can be quite inexpensive compared to air travel too. Just depends on what you want to do and if you have the time for it. Union Station is open to the public, but I'm thinking it can be restrictive if you don't have a ticket and officials can ask you for a ticket if you're just loitering in the building. I'm not sure if there is a parking lot for those who park and take the train, but you'd think there is. I'm just a tourist that took a train here at Union Station. I'm sure there there's a lot of public transportation options in the Los Angeles area to get you to Union Station, if you decide you want to ride the Amtrak. I'm just glad that there are restrooms here at Union Station. It just feels like a big building with a few concessions and restrooms. The rest of it is platforms for the departing and arriving Amtrak trains. Like a large theater or a small airport. Happy travels! 4.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! B

I was then stranded for 5 hours because my phone was dead. They offered a voucher for Uber but no phone so no voucher.

The station is located in Tustin but is close to Irvine as it is near the Jamboree area. Parking is easy as there is a large parking garage here. And there are ticket machines here to buy tickets, though you should give yourself enough time to buy it before the train arrives. The train platforms are unmanned. You will want to make sure you are standing on the right platform to ensure you are traveling in the right direction. My trips on Metrolink trains have been comfortable and do not seem to have the shady behavior you would find on city metro trains. The one thing I would like to see Metrolink do is add additional weekend service in the evening as the last train leaving LA Union Station to Orange County is in the afternoon, which is too early.

Downfall sometimes, the train situation is so bad with the schedules. Besides that, the station is quite nice. Two main platforms on either ends with a bridge over. Quite fun to stand there and have the trains below you. Maybe that's a kid thing but it does bring back a lot of memories. They do have a little cafe next door that serve food as well as a little concession stand. Decent size patio that's great for people watching. Inside the station has a little waiting area which is helpful but there's plenty of seating outside as well. There's also an announcer that let you know if the train is running behind and any delays. It does happen quite often in my opinion. It's a train station and things like that is out of our control so it's bound to happen. Staff are alway friendly whenever I've experience it with them.

Caught the Amtrak Surfliner from Santa Ana to Old Town San Diego. While the ride was great, this train station was a bit of an adventure. Signage is not really clear about where to go, especially if you've never been here before. Restrooms were all closed. Could not find any guard or employee to answer any questions. You have to walk outside to see the screen that shows you train times and track number, but of course, that is after you've meandered around the actual station looking for information. Obviously this is a heavily traveled line (for both Metrolink and Amtrak), so you would think that there would at least be someONE there to assist travelers. Truly, it looks deserted when you enter, almost as if you've stepped back in time to see what an old train station looks like. Disappointed, and as a new traveler that has never used this station before, I felt very lost and a little creeped out.
