Kia Center concert venue in Orlando, Florida

Why it matters

Kia Center opened in 2010 as Orlando’s downtown replacement for the old Amway Arena. Home to the Magic, it was designed as a modern multipurpose room and has become Central Florida’s primary stop for arena-scale concerts.

Getting there

Kia Center is in the downtown Orlando grid, so walking works well from central hotels and restaurants. SunRail can help for earlier arrivals, but check the return schedule for a late concert. Drivers are better off using a downtown garage and finishing the trip on foot.

Bag policy

Before travelling to Kia Center, open its official A–Z, FAQ or guest guide and confirm the concert's bag dimensions. A small essentials-only setup is the safest choice when an event notice is more restrictive.

Local tips

If you are staying downtown, walk rather than moving the car a few blocks. Church Street and the surrounding downtown grid give you plenty of pre-show options, while SunRail can be useful for earlier arrivals. For late concerts, confirm your return schedule before relying on rail.
