This venue is my favorite place to visit and watch concerts or Rockets games of course. It's located in the heart of the city and has ample parking nearby. The workers are all friendly and polite, have never had an issue.

Hard to believe that for as many concerts/sporting events that I've been fortunate to attend, I haven't done Toyota Center. Until recently. Girlfriend won some Rockets vs Kings tickets on a Wednesday in late February and invited me to accompany her. We managed to make it to our seats in section 423 right at tip-off. Getting up there took a minute as you have to take the escalator up cause the elevator operates at a snail's pace. Fortunately you get a solid view of the court area and the fan interaction is quite passionate about their Rockets in H-Town. Since it was a Wednesday, it was not a packed house with lots of empty seats. I was a bit bummed as I love basketball games and the Rockets have a lot of NBA talent but I guess not everyone is aboard the NBA train. Oh well, their loss. Getting to/from the arena is a pain due to traffic and roads being closed for the events. So if you're doing Lyft, you are better off getting dropped off/picked up from a few blocks away from the arena due to the all the congestion. Fortunately for the location, the arena is right smack dab in the middle of downtown near the convention center so there are plenty of eating/drinking options if you want to pre-game or celebrate/commensurate after the game. I'm sure I'll be back for more NBA games and maybe a concert or two here.

Lol had to wait 20 mins as the kitchen was low on chicken. Rough start to opening week of basketball. I will say I have been to a handful of basketball games nationally and this was a fairly priced ticket for Kevin Durant driven roster ($90)

I've been here several times from comedy shows, concerts and games. The staff is always friendly, facilities clean and parking typically around $25-50 based on closeness. Happy to be back in the building and watch the Rockets win!

the toyota center is an excellent arena, however i was disappointed when the rockets lost everything was accessible and easy to navigate and similar to any other arena layout. go rockets

I was in town for work and just so happened that the Rockets were also in town. It was easy to get into the stadium as I went with a season ticket holder. There is a separate entrance which allows you to get into the building quite rapidly. We made our way up the escalator to the upper deck to get into our seats. No lines for concessions. The venue is in really good shape and is well cared for. And they won! Great time.

What a great game!! Way to push through for the win, Rockets!! It was exciting and fun, and the bathrooms were clean! My only thing would be the pricing of some of the items (food and beverage wise). Other than that, my boyfriend and I had a great time! Keep up the great work, Toyota Center.

Love seeing Houston Rockets games and concerts here but it's a very tight seating situation. Don't mind if you're with a group but if you're sitting next to others it can get pretty awkward sometimes. Been here for multiple games, multiple concerts and probably the easiest entry. Just don't bring a purse! Also wish they had the food options and drink options that Daikin Park has for Astros games. It's pretty basic on food/drinks here. Parking sucks too so get there early or buy garage parking ahead of time.

As a forever Warriors fan and Bay Area native walking into Game 2 of the Warriors vs. Rockets playoff series at the Toyota Center felt like stepping into enemy territory. The sea of red, the chants, the energy, it was hella loud, intense, and hostile, just the way a playoff atmosphere should be. Even though the Dubs didn't come out on top, the experience itself was top-tier being my first playoff experience in H-Town. Believe it or not, despite all the trash talk flying around (That I engaged in myself) the Rockets fan sitting next to me was actually really cool. We joked back and forth the whole game, and he even gave me a little side-eye respect for staying loyal in enemy territory. To top it off, pre game I went to the concession stand and got a free super-sized pretzel from one of the vendors--no idea why, but I wasn't asking questions. Soft, salty, and a win in its own right! Yeah, the loss hurt, but being in the middle of that intense energy, repping my team with pride, and having a surprisingly solid time in a hostile crowd? That's what makes playoff basketball so special. It's still WARRIORS ALL DAY EVERYDAY! #Dubnation

Any night at a rockets game is a good time in my book. Parking is either along the street, garage or parking lot usually starting around $25. Entrance into the arena is simple and remember to check the size of your bag. I enjoy a closer seat to really feel the game and let my daughter make it to the Jumbotron. This was an overall great night filled with snacks , souvenirs and excitement.

Got an invite to this event on Saturday and what a time we had. Did so many things saw so many faces, we cheered, laughed and enjoyed the show like no other. We say the great Ice Cube and his son Oshea, Calvin Murphy, Dr. J just to name a few. This game was so much fun. The halftime show was epic Lil KiKi, Bum B I danced, sang and wild-out until I had no voice. 10/10 best day ever

Attended a Rockets/Lakers game and we had a blast! Rockets lost, but it was a great game, great atmosphere and fans, and great concessions. Only qualm came from my kids: no dividers between standing urinals in men's restroom.

Bailey R.

This is your typical sports arena - no outside food, purses have to be a certain size (which is VERY small, check the website!), somewhat decent bathrooms and junk food galore! One weird thing, however, is that they don't allow beverage caps in the seats. That makes sense for screw-cap bottled beers because it prevents people from trying to take them home, BUT the same rules apply for nonalcoholic beverages too! Such as water bottles, Gatorade bottles, etc. This is a terrible rule because the cup holders at the seats are hardly 2-inches tall, so beverages sit crooked in them and easily topple over. The guy in front of us spilled his ENTIRE beverage because he didn't realize he knocked it out of the cup holder and wasn't paying attention to us yelling at him. So just be mindful of your beverages when at your seat! Otherwise, enjoy the game/concert/performance you came here to see!

Ask the Community - Toyota Center

Can you bring pepper spray? I'm going to a concert by myself and would feel safer if I could.

No you can not. I recently went to a concert and a friend brought her pepper spray and was not allowed in. She had to go back and leave it on the car.

Are the tickets cheaper at the box office the day of?

I've never experienced that there they could use them as a right off for seats not sold at cost, 3 rd parties have dropped prices day of the events.

Is it cold in this building? Do I bring a jacket?

It is not cold in the building. If you are attending an event on the court, you will not need a jacket. If you will be in one of the many rooms or offices, they could be cold.

While I can say that…read moreI enjoyed my visit, I also have to admit that there weren't necessarily any standout experiences that set this park apart for me on my quest for 30. Does it have its own vibe? Of course... but is there anything about the park that would make me go "Man, I *have* to get back there sometime!"..? Meh. I did have the advantage of spending my time there with a great friend of mine, which made having to watch the Astros (as a Yankees fan) a little less painful. Haha. Since I was only staying a couple blocks away, it was easy for me to the stadium with enough time before the game to walk around all the different levels and see all the different vantage points, which was great. Was a bit disappointed to see so many of the concession stands on the upper seating tiers were closed, but my seat for the game was on the second level and that was fine. Of course, this also means that I didn't have to deal with parking or trying to get out of the city after the game. Back to concessions though, I ended up trying the brisket donuts - available near sections 134 and 409, though, like I said, the concessions in the upper tier were closed. This particular concession is two fried brisket "donuts" drizzled with BBQ sauce and served with homemade mac and cheese. Unfortunately, the mac and cheese was pretty unappetizing. I get it's a staple side dish to barbecue, but I honestly don't think it's needed with the donuts and the mushy texture doesn't do the dish any favors. The brisket donuts themselves are okay. I found them very filling. Would I get them again though? Probably not. I will say, the thing that I WOULD recommend getting here? The margarita from El Tiempo Cantina. There's hype around this margarita for a reason... it's delicious & it definitely helps take the edge off. :) In terms of overall ballpark experience, staff were generally pretty friendly, fans were enthusiastic (which, considering the team was hovering around a .500 record at the time of my visit, is saying something), and the park was pretty clean. There's not really much to do/see outside the park, but home run alley and the walkway through the hall of fame add a bit of character to the inside. Various murals are on display throughout the stadium too and they add a bit of flair. TL;DR Having great company to share my Daikin Park experience with was key to my visit, but I won't complain about the margarita either. Would I return to this ballpark? Meh, I'm not in a rush. There are some interesting parts to the park though... and, of course, having a roof & a/c was a delight. Fairly generic experience otherwise though.

The center is modern, clean, organized and has all the amenities. I came prepared with a clear bag but entry was still a breeze. Security does a great job pointing people in the direction of their seats and ensuring that stairways and hallways remain clear. In terms of food and drink, I was really impressed with the number of options. They have two full service food counters on either side of the arena. While I personally did not get anything, I saw people passing by with nachos and popcorn. If you want something a little more substantial Antones Poboys and Chick-fil-a were both set up for grab and go. They also had lots of alcoholic beverage options from tall boy beers, liquor for cocktails and even a spiked fresh lemonade stand. The arena has a fan shop onsite, some historical displays and a kid coloring zone. The game itself was well played (they won!) and executed from the announcer to the lights and entertainment. Great experience overall.

This place serves food, drinks, and has plenty of games! You can either buy your tickets in person or online beforehand. It's $12 for entry and you can stay as long as you want and come and go with unlimited game access. From what I can tell, some days have specials. Only additional purchases are food and drinks, obviously. They have pizzas, quesadillas, salads, dessert pizzas, and pizza burritos. I tried that last thing because I had never heard of it -- think of it as like a glorified hot pocket. It was delicious! I had a salad to balance things out, and I'll surprised by how hefty it was! Since I had never had their cider before, I decided to do a flight of five. When I placed my order, I was expecting them to give me a tray of five 1 oz pours... But instead, they told me the flight will consist of five 5 oz cups.... WHOA. So I grabbed the first two and had to come back for the rest after I finished. Every single one was delicious, but I really liked the mango habanero and the one with the coconut. Now, the games... I rarely come to a barcade that has TWO Guitar Hero setups. And they had plenty of classic cabinets, air hockey, Mario Kart, shooting games... Claw machines... It was quite epic. By the way, the claw machines did cost extra, and I peeped a party room in the back that had those interactive team floor games! That would be fun to reserve for a special occasion. This place really impressed me. If you enjoy games in a bar setting, I would recommend this spot if you are in the Houston area.

I've been there with a group of adults and also with a group of kids, and just note that while it's totally fine (and very fun!) for kids, it's probably better for adults--there's no kid security check-in at the front, and the building is very big, with lots of games. We ordered a pizza from a touchscreen by a food window, and the pizza was actually pretty good, much better than I was expecting at an arcade. The downside was that, in the lunch rush, it took 30-40 minutes for that one pizza to come out, though you could tell they were individually making each item in the big pizza oven. If you want drinks, you separately order those at the front, near where you check in, which is a little odd to have two separate food/drink ordering spots. When we walked in, we paid for a wristband, which gave "free" access to all of the arcade games, except for the claw machines, which required you to buy an extra card.

We had great seats and were able to see the fireworks clearly, which was a nice bonus. That said, the seating is fairly tight, so personal space can be limited.

One of the best stadiums in MLS, I'd argue, and the weather here is always wonderful.

Would not be out of place as a European Stadium, and is truly magnificent. My other review of this stadium said: Not to be confused with BDSM Stadium, which is something very different, more adult, more painful, more restrictive, for the sub anway. Moving on. Houston has a pretty amazing soccer stadium just to the east of downtown and it's beautiful and perfect for what it does, one of the better ones I've been to. I'd downgrade for the insane cost of everything (a beer is 10 to 20 dollars, yes I'm serious), but then every stadium is like that these days... they should GTFO really. But for the stadium itself.... wow. It's a shame they didn't have the stadium during the days when they were winning everything, this would have been perfect for that, but hopefully one day they will be winning everything again with this great stadium, that is like the Reliant Stadium/NRG Stadium of soccer.. it's amazing. As for the team, it's home to the Houston Dynamo. Not to be confused with a murder plot against an orange-white Clownfish in America's 4th largest city (Houston Die-Nemo). Houston is one of the classic teams in the league, even though they secretly stole San Jose away from San Jose, and changed the Earthquake name to Dynamo, to reflect the industrial energy nature of the Houston economy. I'm a fan of a team and I think they do a good job, and are a main fixture in the sports scene of the city, which isn't really much of a sports city to be honest, and none of the Rockets/Astros/Texans get an immense amount of love compared to other regions, and the Dynamo holds its own to some degree. It had some great success in the past and long may that continue. They need to get back on the wagon and be a top team, and I hope they can get the support they deserve to go with their amazing stadium close to downtown.
