Came on a surprise to see Florence + the Machine and absolutely loved it! Just bought tickets to see another concert here and I can't wait! Way better then seeing a concert in a small indoor venue. Lots of walking, bring your own food and enjoy the show!

I have gone to several concerts - ranging from classical music to a "Sound of Music" sing-a-long and have never, ever been disappointed in the venue or the staff. You can take your own food and alcohol or buy it there. You can spend a little bit of money and sit up high in bleachers or spend more and sit... More

Our daughter performs at the Bowl yearly with a local group. The parents are always given tickets and we made use of them once and only once. Speaking of the bowl alone, the seats are extremely hard and with a back support. Advice, bring some cushions and a blanket. The area can get nippy and uncomfortable. The programs there are... More

This is an awesome venue and I recommend that everyone go at least once in their lifetime. The Bowl is pretty -like a hidden garden-and has a great view that you can enjoy before the show. We saw Eddie Izzard there and we were up pretty high. No problem hearing or seeing him. The Bowl allows you to bring in... More

We spent time seeing several acts at the Bowl. We took a bus from Westwood and it is very easy and saves parking hassles. The bowl is has very nice setting and views. The food is good, and the scene is mellow. Go and try it out.

Pick a show and go. The Bowl is an iconic venue and picnicking is a long practiced activity. Never bowled without picnicking. Parking issues and traffic are part of the "charm" Celebrity and nouveau riche alongside regular folks. Eclectic performer combinations with bowl philharmonic along with independent shows.

I was born and raised in L.A. and am still enchanted with every visit to the Hollywood Bowl. If you're visiting you must add it to your to-do list. Hollywood itself is very dirty and run down in my opinion- not at all what you think of from the old movies, etc...I suggest skipping it and heading to the Hollywood... More

This was a stop on one our city tour. It is hard to see how big it is on TV but mark my words this is a huge entertainment centre. Beautiful to see where some of the greats have played over the years.

An LA landmark in a beautiful setting. We have been here several times for concerts. Sat up high but the giant screens let you see the stars close up, so intimacy is not needed; great acoustics too. You can bring in your own food and wine to have at your seats. Always rent the cushions so you don't have to... More
