Always a great experience at Kia center, this time around was for floor seats to see the Knicks play the Magic.

The arena is great overall and after parking in the garage, it's really easy to enter the arena from the garage. The layout of the arena is simple and easy to figure out where you need to go. My only gripe is the amount of stairs you need to walk if you are sitting in the lower levels close to the floor, for a Magic game. We have sat at lower levels, close to the floor at mid court and behind the visitors bench basket.

Went to the Magic vs Knicks Game last night. Absolutely great experience. Many food options. It was a little pricey but that's expected. Atmosphere was great. Parking was plenty around the arena. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Great entertainment as well. We will be back.

I have been coming to this arena for decades and have seen it undergo several name changes and even a move from one part of the downtown Orlando, Florida area to a few blocks away in downtown Orlando, Florida. The Kia Center is a good destination for concerts or sporting events. I was also here for my kids' graduations. I will say that out of all the names, my favorite would probably have to be the Orena. But big corporations and their sponsorships have changed the naming of our arenas and sadly, I do not think this trend is for the better. Iconic names for arenas like Madison Square Garden (in New York City) carry a more significant bearing than some corporate name scrawled across a city building. Just my opinion. I have seen some of my favorite bands here and have had some great memories. Some of the shows that I saw here were Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Motley Crue, the Eagles, Good Charlotte, Green Day, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Tim McGraw, oh, the list could go on. One of the quirkiest things that I saw here was the Mascot Games, where mascots from the major teams got together in competition. I also checked out Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus when they were here and saw a Monster Truck show here. All in all, a good place to capture a show or sporting event.

Attended the Ringling Circus on Friday night. The seating was comfortable, and the temperature was perfect inside, even though it was freezing outside. Food is overpriced with typical stadium food quality and options. Drinks are extremely overpriced, where you will pay $15 for a standard size can of High Noon seltzers.

The orlando magic youth basketball camp is terrible. They promise free tickets to a game but this promise isn't delivered. There is no clear phone number to contact the camp for the tickets and when you call the orlando magic phone they "write down" your info and never call you back.

Got a chance to go to a private suite for a sales presentation. Food package was OK, quesadillias, Mac and cheese, grilled veggies, burgers and wings. Wings were the best thing of the hot food items but the best thing was the dessert bar. I'm not a sweets guy but this bar was dang good. Great venue.

Although it has been renamed several times the Amway Center now known as the Kia Center will always have a special place in my heart. Every time I come, I never waiting in line long which is wonderful and the staff is always friendly. You're going to pay a pretty penny to eat here, but what else can you expect at an arena but they also have plenty of different food choices as well. It's never too loud in the Amway in the hallways but when you go in the sound is just right.

One of my favorite places to be is here at the Kia Center We ordered a pretzel and some nachos , can't complain. Just your standard pretzel and nachos lol got us thru the game

Had a decent time at Fields Ultimate Lounge on the first level of the Amway Center. Appreciated the available seating spaces, although prices were predictably steep. Tried the chicken nachos, but they were overly salty. Thumbs up for clean restrooms with plenty of stalls. Some room for improvement: more snack options would be nice, and I missed having frozen drinks on the menu. Overall, not bad, but there's room to enhance the experience.
Excellent food and atmosphere. Get there early if you want a spot. The staff are friendly and always ready to help out.

Perhaps a forgotten arena because it's overshadowed by Disney parks, and let's be honest...the Magic basketball team is usually bad. Like free tickets only bad. But I really enjoyed the arena, much to my surprise. It has an easy layout to navigate, lots of escalators, and the exits are easy to get to from your seats. This seems to be ideal for families with kids, who don't like to walk long distance. The food is very affordable, with typical sports bites like hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken fingers, pizza, etc. however the beer is a little expensive ($9 for a 12 oz beer). Pro-tip: park your car at one of the unofficial local parking lots about 2 or 3 blocks from the arena. It's much cheaper and easier to drive out of the area after the game. Look for crowds of cars heading down side streets and men with reflective vests. It may seem shady but it worked fine for us

Woah great job amway I am a season ticket orlando solar bears fan and no matter what happens in the game being in the arena is fun the food is always good to me at least this arena is great I love the time lapse of adding the floor for basketball and the ice for the bears and setting up for the stadium the service is always great and the people are nice I love going here for any event!!!

Amazing concert/event venue with plenty of space and comfortable seating. I specifically enjoyed the rooftop bar with a picture-perfect opportunity overlooking the Orlando Downtown area. Inside, they also have plenty of pop-up bar stations with quick and efficient service, so they can go on and enjoy the events. I did not try the food. However, they offer comfort foods such as pizza and chicken tenders. The public parking garage is a short walking distance away. We paid $10, which is much less than the private parking spaces offered while driving around. Afterward, you are close enough to enjoy the surrounding restaurants and bars downtown Coming back for other concert events.

Price Gouging to the extreme! I wasn't going to post, but then changed my mind when other venues for concerts let you bring in sealed bottles of water. Went to see a show is expensive enough especially when they tack on all the fees... but charging $5.50 for a bottle of water and $6.25 for a soda is highway robbery. I am going to report this to the state of FL and if anyone wants to join in the report please visit and select price gouging. It will only get worse if we don't report it now. Thanks
