How Kids-Friendly is Walt Disney Concert Hall?

70%Kids-Friendly
View Map

What makes it 70% Kids-Friendly: Children up to 12 can try Symphonies for Youth, kid-friendly tours, and the garden, but standard concerts demand silence, seats are tight, and there is no real play space.

Positives:

  • Acoustics: The wooden hall design delivers clear sound so kids can hear every note without speakers.
  • Accessibility: Ramps, elevators, and family restrooms make it easy to navigate with strollers.

Challenges:

  • Quiet Zones: The hall asks for low noise, so younger kids may struggle to sit through a full performance.
  • Limited Interactivity: Outside youth programs, there are few hands-on exhibits to engage children.

❤️ Walt Disney Concert Hall ❤️ ✨ Even without ever stepping inside, the Walt Disney Concert Hall is unforgettable. During my time in LA, it quickly became my favorite landmark on the skyline. Frank Gehry’s design is nothing short of a masterpiece: those soaring, silvery curves ripple across the building like frozen waves, giving it a futuristic presence. From every angle it feels less like archi...

The Walt Disney Concert Hall is a must visit when you’re in L.A. The architecture is stunning, the garden has beautiful views of DTLA. The outdoor areas are peaceful, clean, and well maintained. Everything is very organized, and the staff is very helpful. You can purchase drinks and snacks before the concert. The L.A. Philharmonic was incredible, we loved the classical music concert.

Would not recomm...

What a beautiful place, I don’t think there is a bad seat in the whole concert hall. There is plenty of parking in the underground garage and it is very easy to get up to the entrance. We had a nice experience and I look forward to our next concert. Unfortunately, it is not allowed to take pictures or record video once the concert begins, so I only took a few pictures pre-concert.
