The concert hall has a wow factor. It was designed with such whimsical care. It seems like the building is moving to the beat of the city. Inside you find on of the most acoustically designed building in the usa. We went on a tour with a docent. Very intersing. I especially like all of the outdoor garden space, and... More

I am a classical symphony fan. This venue has been so well designed, it made my night a delight. From the wonderful, playfully designed layout, to the ridiculously beautiful sound, I cannot wait to visit again.

This is a stunningly looking building. Did not have time to take in a concert but spent time walking around and inside the building. Modern masterpiece in design. Took lots of photos from all different angles. An excellent addition to the down town area.

So far I did not enjoy a concert here, but I've spent several times just walking around the site and was mesmerized by its visual quality, the ever changing impression of the facade due to the light, the interaction of the architectural structure with the immediate and further environment and the variety of exciting perspectives the building offers.

I was left wondering how they could even build something so unique. Great imagination to this building.

From it's unusual architecture to it's amazing sound quality, Walt Disney Hall is truly one of the best in So.Cal. Leave it to the folks at Disney to create something a cut above the rest!

What is wonderful: the location in downtown LA, the stunning exterior design, the excellent acoustics, the fact that they provide cough drops so people don't cough through performances.

One of the most beautiful buildings I've been to. Give yourself time to walk around to see all the angles (curves, really). Buy the cheapest ticket to any show. That's the only way to get into the actual concert hall. We were way up in the balcony and the acoustics were perfect. When all the nearly-100 musicians were playing, the... More

Gee, we are so lucky to have a wonderful mind of that of Walt Disney. Make sure you see it all. You will leave this with a happy heart and big smile. Its great for kids but as adults we felt like kids and had a ball.

I simply walked the grounds and the lobby and I was thrilled with the architecture and photo opportunities. Found the Delft fountain described by another reviewer (in the surrounding grounds in back) and was equally charmed. The gift store was a nice browse too. Highly recommend to anyone remotely interested in architecture or art on a grand scale--the building is... More
