A Ducks night at Honda Center in Anaheim.

Plan my tripJust find a hotel

The local take

An arena across the street from ARTIC, Anaheim’s rail, bus and rideshare hub, anchoring OCVIBE, a 100-acre district whose construction is changing the streets and parking around it.

Most Ducks home games start at 7 p.m. Pacific on weeknights, and several Sunday games start at 5 p.m., so check your game’s time. Doors typically open 90 minutes before puck drop, and general parking comes with your ticket. For a weekend trip, Downtown Disney and the Anaheim Packing District fill the day before.

Get to know the areas

Platinum Triangle and East KatellaWalking to the arena on a game night

Stay on Katella Avenue by Honda Center, ARTIC and Angel Stadium, and walk to the game.

Arena, ballpark and transit-hub blocks that fill up on event nights

To the arena
Walk along Katella Avenue to the arena, following current construction signs.
After the game
Walk back the same way with the crowd.
The tradeoff
Few hotels sit right by the arena, and the arena says OCVIBE construction keeps changing parking and traffic patterns around it.

Anaheim Resort and Downtown DisneyMore hotel and restaurant choice, and a Disney day before

Stay near the Anaheim Convention Center, GardenWalk and Downtown Disney, with far more hotels and restaurants, and ride or drive east to the arena.

Convention hotels, GardenWalk shops and Downtown Disney’s restaurants and bars

To the arena
Rideshare to ARTIC, 2626 East Katella Avenue, drive to the arena’s lots and garages, or take OCTA Route 50 east along Katella Avenue to ARTIC.
After the game
Leave by the East Entrance for the ARTIC rideshare zone and bus stop, or walk back to your car.
The tradeoff
It’s a ride to the arena, not a walk. Anaheim Regional Transportation (ART), the Anaheim Resort transit service, ended all service on March 31, 2026, so any hotel page that still mentions it is out of date.

John Wayne Airport, Irvine and Costa MesaFly-in trips with a rental car

Stay by John Wayne Airport (SNA) with a free airport shuttle, and drive north to the game.

Business-district hotels, South Coast Plaza and airport dining

To the arena
Drive to Honda Center; general parking at the arena’s lots and garages is included with your ticket.
After the game
Walk back to your car and drive back.
The tradeoff
These hotels are built around the airport and business district, not the arena. The hotel shuttles listed serve the airport, not the arena, and no official source publishes a drive time to Honda Center, so check a map app for your date.

Bags — Ducks games

The arena’s Ducks-game policy allows bags no larger than 4 × 6 × 1.5 inches, clear bags included, and no backpacks of any size. The Ducks’ own gameday page lists 5 × 9 × 2 inches, which is the arena’s limit for non-Ducks events, so pack for the smaller size. There’s no bag check. Diaper and medical bags up to 12 × 12 × 12 inches get extra screening and enter at the Northwest Puck Drop Patio entrance.

Arena information
Parking comes with your ticket

General parking at the arena’s lots and garages, including the Katella and Cerritos Garages, is included with event tickets, and there’s no separate parking pass. Lots open three hours before the start time on your ticket. Free bicycle parking is in both garages.

Arena information

Doors for Ducks games typically open 90 minutes before puck drop, and most parking gates open an hour before doors. The South and West Entrances are currently closed for construction.

Rideshare and taxi pickup and drop-off is at ARTIC, 2626 East Katella Avenue, across the street; leave by the East Entrance. ARTIC is served by Amtrak Pacific Surfliner and Metrolink trains and by OCTA Route 50 along Katella Avenue, so check the last departure for your game night.

Useful things to know

Do I need to buy parking at Honda Center?

No. General parking at the arena’s lots and garages is included with event tickets, and there’s no separate pass. Lots open three hours before the start time on your ticket.

Where do rideshares drop off and pick up?

At ARTIC, 2626 East Katella Avenue, across the street from the arena. The South Entrance is currently closed, so leave by the East Entrance to reach it.

Is there a shuttle from the Disneyland-area hotels?

Anaheim Regional Transportation (ART), the Anaheim Resort transit service, concluded all service on March 31, 2026, and none of the resort hotels in this guide lists a shuttle to Honda Center. Take a rideshare to ARTIC, drive and park with your ticket, or ride OCTA Route 50 along Katella Avenue.

Can I leave the arena and come back in?

No; the arena has a no re-entry policy. At Ducks games, the gameday guide says the Modelo Puck Drop Patio on the north side is a ticketed area where fans can enter and re-enter the arena and bring food inside.
