    As far as concert venues go I was pretty impressed. I will say they really need to coordinate with Orlando City. We happened to be going on a night that Orlando City was playing as well, both events started at the same time. So both getting to and leaving the venue were insane. We would definitely park further away and walk if we go to the Solar Bears or another show. The lobby is really stunning. I was impressed with the local vendors like Kelly's ice cream and beers from krooked can. The themed cocktails were really cool too. The standard fare of chicken tenders and fries left much to be desired. I'd get something else or eat beforehand. I was really shocked by how small the ladies rooms were. The seats were great as well as the sound and lighting. I would definitely go to a game or show again!

    The Kia Center was a great venue to visit! We went for Disney on ice. The employees were all helpful and friendly. It was easy to walk to with plenty of parking available in the nearby garages. Cops were out shuffling pedestrians along and it felt like a safe area. The venue was clean. They had family / all gender bathrooms. They are a cashless establishment. The concessions were like a self checkout deal. We would definitely come back for another event!

    Getting in and out of the Kia Center is a breeze! It's a great concert venue and is very efficient and safe. I never have any issues with parking in the garage. The food here is just okay though, I would eat ahead of time if you're going to a concert. I've been to several concerts here and I love how big the space is. It really allows artists to have whatever set up they need and be creative with the space. My only recommendation is that I wish the upper levels had additional hand-held support like railings.... The upper levels are so steep and scary it feels like you're going to fall off the ledge, especially if you're in high heels or trying to take a picture with the stage. The seating is nice and not too uncomfortable. Personally, I would rather see a concert here instead of a comedy show since the space is so big!

    Google review: Kia center is a venue for concerts. Recently went there for a concert with my family. There's ton of parking garages nearby that are very economical line $5-10 and the traffic isn't bad and it's a short walk to the Kia center. The venue looks very new and it is very clean, and the workers are polite. I will definetly be coming back here and will book more concerts in orlando due to our great experience.

    The Kia Center hosts many types of indoor events in downtown Orlando. I've attended Magic basketball games and pop/rock concert. The arena also hosts comedians and others shows, and is home to the Orlando Solar Bears. Entry through security has been orderly even with long lines. The amenities and restrooms are modern; the food and drinks are overpriced. For Magic games, different activity areas are open for children to burn energy and have some fun. The sight lines for concerts from the upper seats (where I can afford) is usually good, with interference sometimes by the stacks of speakers suspended from them rafters. Sound quality has been good considering this is an arena. I've not been disappointed. Parking can be found in the newly named ThreatLocker Garage (no worries tho - no threats and they won't lock down your car), and in other garages and surface lots. Pay Ahead for parking is usually the best bet.

    Easy place to go for a concert or event. The arena is beautiful and has plenty of parking nearby. Clean modern and huge. The staff working the concert tonight was amazing

    Love the Kia Center! I have come for numerous Magic games here, more recently as well as back when it was called the Amway Center. It's always been good fun. They've done some needed upgrades since Kia took the naming rights. One of the newest things (I think) is the Hall of Fame memorial area on the second floor. That's a super cool section and if you're a fan of basketball through the eras at all you have to check it out. As far as food goes, they have a good variety of options. I have noticed that their signature drinks cups have gotten jokingly smaller over the years but still cost the same. Shrinkflation much.. I haven't been here for a concert or other events but I can imagine it would be a great space for that. Tons of seating and it doesn't feel real cramped until you start to get to the 3rd floor and up.

    Although it was cold, with just the right amount of layers of clothing, it was a beautiful morning for a walk. My friend and I participated in the Orlando Magic 5K. The DJs were great! The Salty Donut offered coffee and donuts while Kelly's Homemade Ice Cream provided three different flavors for us to choose from. Uncle Matt's Organic drinks were refreshing. I particularly loved the Uncle Matt's Organic Orange Juice. This was my first time at the Orlando Magic 5K. I hope to walk again next year.

    I've been to 3 concerts at the Kia Center and it has been a good experience so far. The venue is modern, easy to get around, and the sound has been great for every show I've seen there. The last concert we went to in December, we booked one of the Founders Seats with a group of friends and it was a totally different way to watch a concert, something I'd never experienced before. The food options were surprisingly good. We had seabass arancini, jasmine rice, Cuban sliders, salad, plus water and beer, and everything tasted great. Drinks are separate and super pricey, but that's pretty much expected at a venue like this. Overall, it's a solid spot for concerts in and I'll definitely be coming back

    Saw Noah Kahan here and had a great time! We were in section 221 and even though we were far from the stage we had a great view and the screens helped a tone. Sound was great and it's a relatively easy venue to navigate. Merch lines were ridiculously long but we weren't sure if this is common or it was just for this concert. There's a ton of restaurants within in walking distance too which is great! We parked in a nearby parking garage and it took us ages to get out but that's to be expected. We had a great time!

    Love going to Orlando Magic games. All the employees are always friendly and helpful. Finding the right hallway and seat can be confusing but an employee is never far to greet you with a smile and ask if you need help. Traffic in the garage and leaving the center is always atrocious. Food for the loge is very good. Wide variety of items from the typical hot dog to delicate pieces of fish. Couldn't even make it to the dessert bar because I was so stuffed. Later on in the game, ordered a cookie to my seat. Thought it would be nice and warm but it was cold and hard. Sticky ribs, waffle fries, brownie and ice cream, tenders, popcorn, nachos, sandwiches...all got good feedback from all my coworkers. Love the energy at the Kia Center!

    Game 6 in Orlando watching the Orlando Magic choke at home was disappointing. The Magic didn't score for a period of forty five minutes at one point during the contest and they only scored nineteen points in the entire second half after putting up sixty points in the first half and having a double digit lead. Kia center was a wonderful host to an eventful night of entertainment. Quality food selection from several vendors on site. Everybody In !

    March 1st Pistons victory... a great foreshadowing of their magnificent come from behind playoff triumph!

    I got to play road warriors with my sister Gwen, watching the Detroit Pistons defeat the Orlando Magic on March 1st, 2026 by a score of 106-92, a fortuitous foreshadowing of the first round playoff series victory that would follow. I don't have many arenas to compare Kia Center to, and I feel like basketball/hockey arenas are a lot more homogeneous than say baseball stadiums. There was nothing here to really knock my socks off like when I took my dad to see the Tigers play at Pittsburgh's glorious PNC Park. But it was a swell time nonetheless. I also don't usually spring for or get freebies for lower bowl seats so it's a bit apples and oranges to try to compare the close to the action seats I treated us to here to the high altitude ones I usually find myself in at Little Caesar's Arena, recently for a game 2 playoff win against these same Orlando Tragic. Sorry, I should try to keep it classy here, especially since my Pistons bought themselves a trip to Cancun in the second round. Anyways we had good seats with nice sightlines. Outside they had a whole fan experience area that seemed many geared to young people but wasn't happening too much. Funny cause there's a kind of party area courtyard outside LCA that's usually pretty sleepy for the games I've been to. Just random stray selfie takers mostly. The pizza stand we hit up was well organized and smooth, letting a big queue move through there pretty quickly, with its system of grabbing premade slices, beverages and snacks yourselves and then cashing out with cards at self service kiosks. There's stands at LCA set up like that but only for beverages and snacks, nothing with food that will serve as a whole meal. I also like this better than the system I encountered at PNC Park in Pittsburgh where you have to preorder and cash out on your phone and then come up when your number is called. The pizza was okay, nothing outstanding but arena and stadium food never really is. You could tell it was an Orlando Magic home game but there was a sizable and vocal Pistons fan contingent there. We actually sat next to a couple of Detroit fans and there were a couple more a couple rows behind us. With Orlando being such a tourist destination I feel like they probably often get mobbed up with fans of visiting teams, at least from the eastern part of the country (and Canadian Raptors fans) especially at certain times of the year. My decibel meter on my phone only maxed out around 100 which isn't too great, though the arena was probably somewhere between 2/3 and 3/4 full. No comparison to John Mason player intros back home but all the usual whistles and bells with snippets of rap songs, cheerleaders, youth performers and a dragon as opposed to a horse mascot. Not a bad arena. I wouldn't mind seeing a concert there one night if I ever get the opportunity to see a good one.

    This arena allows for white nationalists to have events here. It's very very unsafe for people of color.

I wouldn't recommend section C - they had those tall metal chairs that look uncomfortable in that section. I honestly wish I'd got section A, but those shows sell out so quickly that it seems harder to snag those. The sound was amazing & the band was really talented. The look/vibe is really great too! The doors don't open till right before showtime, but there's covered tables & chairs to sit & wait. Parking was a bit tight. The doormen were very fast & efficient. Everyone was friendly too! Overall I really like The Abbey & am going back again in a few weeks, Oh - pro tip - there's an absolutely OUTSTANDING sushi restaurant around the corner & they were very accommodating when we said we were in a hurry to get to the show on time. Check them out!

The ground floor has plenty of room to move around and enjoy the show without feeling cramped, which I really appreciated. They also have upstairs seating options if you're looking for a more elevated (and probably pricier) experience--but it's nice to have that flexibility depending on your vibe. Whether you want to stay for hours or just pop in and enjoy the performance, it caters to both. Staff were friendly and efficient all around. The bar setup was a huge plus--there were multiple bartenders working, so drinks came out quickly. Perfect for grabbing something before the show or doing a quick pregame without missing the fun. I came specifically to see Calum Scott, and WOW--he did not disappoint. His voice is even more incredible live, and you can tell he genuinely connects with the audience. Super kind energy, amazing stage presence, and just an all-around beautiful performance. The production was also top tier. The lighting and laser effects were phenomenal and really elevated the entire experience--it felt immersive without being overwhelming. One moment that really stood out was how the staff handled an emergency situation in the audience. Security and the team responded quickly and professionally, making sure the individual got the help they needed. That level of care and organization says a lot about the venue. Overall, such a solid first impression. Great layout, fast service, amazing performances, and a team that clearly knows what they're doing. I'll definitely be back--especially if they bring in more DJs or artists in the future!
