Frequently Asked Questions
No reservations are required for the Bowl Shuttle. Just arrive at the designated pickup location.
The walk from Hollywood/Highland Station to the Bowl is about 15 minutes uphill and may not be ideal for all visitors. For an easier option, the Bowl Shuttle departs from Ovation Hollywood and is wheelchair accessible.
Post-concert traffic can be heavy. Shuttles often receive priority exit, and Metro trains run later on show nights. Walking back to Hollywood/Highland Station is a good option—the downhill walk is much easier than the uphill trek to the Bowl before the performance.
