    A great venue for sports, concerts, work events, golf events and art shows. Just about anything you can think off. The food and drink selection is brilliant specially when the food trucks come. They have gone Cash free which is amazing and working hard to get greener with recycling etc. The team at eden park are making this place somewhere for everyone to visit and enjoy. Watching live sport there is amazing a must do

    Have been here to see the local arts exhibition. Good chance to see the whole stadium through the big range of glass window on the second floor. It offers the relatively reasonable size for art show. Though it is quiet crowded, people put their passion to see the local art particularly during post COVID stage.

    Is a place where you can find history, magic and lots of fun and joy. A place to go with friends or family. And is even a good place to work, to make some friends and meet new people. I like it to much and I'm always looking forward to being there. Here one pic from the last big concert on 2021 Six60 Saturday live tour and another from the sky.

    New Zealand's National Stadium. Watch live sport such as rugby and cricket here. It's an awesome atmosphere. I would recommend people to take the Stadium Tour if you get a chance. It gives you a different perspective of the ground and inside the player's changing rooms

    Our families first time seeing the All Blacks, a big shot or to all at Eden Park for arranging such a fantastic event. The food vendors were friendly and provided fast good food in a capacity filled ground. Ushers were well positioned guiding you to where you needed to be and good security making watching rugby with your wife and youngsters a pleasure. Thanks to all the organizers at Eden Park.

    The land where Eden Park stands was originally swampland, fed by lava caverns created by Maungawhau / Mount Eden and Mount Albert over 30,000 years ago. Tฤmaki Mฤori used the swamp to collect food and materials. In 1845, the area was purchased by Cornish farmer John Walters. Eden Park has been a sports ground since 1900. The park began as a cricket ground in 1903, and was due to the vision of one Harry Ryan, a cricket enthusiast who approached landowner John Walters to lease part of his land as a sports field. In the book Eden Park: A History, the authors write, "Certainly the rough paddock strewn with stones, studded with outcrops of rock and streaked with cowpats, falling away to a boggy trough that filled in a downpour and remained flooded throughout the winter, looked better suited to frog-hunting or duck-shooting than cricket, let alone rugby. Ryan knew or at least imagined better." Much early work on the cricket ground was needed, including clearing the stone walls that had been used to divide farmland, and ongoing drainage issues.

    We were there for Ed Sheerans saturday pm concert. Excellent - esp the set up for those with disabilities or needs for mobility parking and the buggies to bring from where we parked. Very kind, friendly and helpful, put mums wheelchair onto the buggy and to the appropriate gate to pick up our tickets. Very kind helpful attendants around the venue. Well signposted for elevators etc. We needed to get help to find the disability toilets up on 4th floor as the queue was really long on the main ground level and too congested to move the wheelchair there. But a very kind person took us up there and then we stayed there on the corporate food level. We got lost coming out and took a while to work out where we were in relation to where I had parked the car so some maps or direction signs would be helpful

    Eden park is an amazing place to watch Rugby, league etc.. We watched the Toa Samoa vs Kiwis game and the atmosphere was awesome. Make sure you eat beforehand or pack snacks and water because the stadium food is quite pricey at $7.50 for a hot dog, $7.50 for hot chips and $7 for small drink. Overall a great place to go for your entertainment enjoyment.

    I don't do sport, I was there for a 2 day work event. The entire team there should be commended. They are professional, and the catering and organisation of our event was top-notch. It's such an awesome place, which, for me, was a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience - running out onto the field from the south stadium fitting rooms and seeing our company name on the screens. Canapรฉs on the concourse before celebrating in the main hall, Wow!

    Home of New Zealand sports. A must-visit for any sports fan! Best and biggest stadium in the country and very convenient by public transport! It's a whole different feeling being there in the atmosphere in person. Hosts mainly sports games but also concerts from time to time.

    Went here for fifa women's world cup opening ceremony. They allowed bags with metal bottles & food, no plastic or "throw-able" containers allowed. Well managed quick entry into the stands. Took the train to Kingsland stn, but there is shuttle drop off from downtown. Good variety of food, including food carts for more options.

    Visited for Ed Sheeran concert. A fantastic night, venue was well laid out for a concert. Visited a food stall only once during the night, food (chips) were expensive and very average however everything else including venue staff were amazing!

    I recently attended Ed Sheeran's concert at the stadium, which took place just days after the massive Auckland floods. I was initially concerned about whether the event would take place, but to my surprise, the team at Eden Park had done an incredible job recovering the entire stadium in just a few days. Once I arrived, I was impressed with how well-managed the event was. The traffic routes were well-planned, and I had no trouble checking in using my QR code, despite the stadium being sold out with over 50,000 people in attendance. Finding my seat was a breeze, and there were plenty of options for refreshments. But most importantly, I loved the concert. It was clear that the New Zealand National Stadium is a world-class facility that is capable of hosting big events like this. The atmosphere was electric, and the acoustics were excellent. It's clear that the team at Eden Park is committed to providing visitors with an enjoyable and memorable experience, and I can't wait to attend my next event there.

    You can see the 360 degree view of the city from here. Beautiful and very peaceful place.

    I do enjoy going to Eden Park to watch the rugby games, however when it comes to seating etc I think the team could do more work in guiding people to their seats, saw a lot of older people having to walk all the way around the stadium to get to their seats. Also do not have multiple tickets on your iOS or android device as at the gates when you scan these yourself to get in it craps out and is unreliable, wasted over 30 mins at the gate, best to have a paper print out.

    The atmosphere is always amazing at Eden Park. Great place to enjoy the matches. Watching Sweden vs. Spain, Semi Final FFWC 2023 - one of the best experiences

  • 5/5 Gustav C. 8 months ago on Google
    Lovely venue, modern, clean. There are a variety of food stalls to choose from and staff are always friendly. Food is slightly more expensive so be prepared but tastes great. Highly reccomend this stadium for anyone as all levels are accessible for any body

    Went to the Women's football world cup. Well organised event! Parking wasn't too bad. We parked way out and walked for not more than 15min. Avoided public transport because we knew after the match it would be chaos to get onto a bus and back home (and we were right). Getting into he venue was easy, bags were checked the you scan your digital ticket at a turnstile to get in. Food queues moved quick when we first arrived, didn't go again during the match. Food choices didn't really cater for GF, Veg, DF etc Seats were easy to find and we had a perfect few and we were far up. Venue was clean. Getting out of the venue wasn't too bad, some queues but not too bad.

    JULY 2023 Went to a world cup soccer match. New Zealand v's Vietnam. 41,000 people in attendance. The crowd control from the moment we alighted the train until we sat in our seats in the park was excellent. The food and drink selection was great and all the facilities were very clean. Having not been to the the Park for over 20 years I was impressed. A great venue and I look forward to attending again in the future.

  • 3/5 Martin P. 8 months ago on Google
    Eden Park has an awesome atmosphere when it is at full capacity. Itโ€™s definitely worth getting public transport to the ground as parking is hard to find (especially when there is a big crowd). The food/drink situation is better than it used to be (with things like Fritzโ€™s Weiners being available), but still not that great. Be mindful of the time of day of your event, if you are sitting in the East Stand you might get the sun in your eyes.

  • 5/5 Jorge B. 8 months ago on Google
    We love our stadium, it was well organised and while there were over 43k people in tonight's game, it didn't feel too crowded and we could move around and get food with no issues. The atmosphere was awesome.

  • 3/5 Grant M. 2 years ago on Google
    Enjoy watching sport here, but the park is an old white elephant, stranded in suburbia with no parking, basic facilities, and really needs replacing with a proper stadium. Wellington and Dunedin have this sorted, and Christchurch will have soon. Time to flog the site off and build better...

  • 4/5 Scott 8 months ago on Google
    Good easy access to East stand just under the second tier stand. There was a pipe or fixture that was dripping onto my seat. Luckily a mate decided to sit there first. I enjoy the seat next to the drip

    Great atmosphere Watched the football ferns beat Norway, good food and drinks, easy to get in and out of the place. Close to trains and busses.

  • 5/5 neal 8 months ago on Google
    Great sporting venue. Easy access via public transport and clear information provided by signage and staff. Great experience at Womans World Cup. Concession stand prices reasonable as well.

  • 5/5 N J. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome vibe, very well managed and polite ushers. Facilities were kept nice and clean, easy to find. Great stadium to watch sports.

  • 4/5 Tarcio 8 months ago on Google
    Very beautiful stadium, located close to the central region of Auckland, easy access for those who are in the center. Good structure, well organized to access, has a good eating area and bathrooms. Be careful not to take the uncovered area on rainy days. it will not be a nice experience.

  • 5/5 Stephen K. 9 months ago on Google
    Went to the opening of the Women's Football world cup. An Amazing experience. I'd highly recommend going to see the football - who ever's playing Eden park is of course THE Home of world rugby! Love the atmosphere for an All Blacks game and even The Blues games are great. Loved the lighting effect on the goal posts!! Good food and we love the fish and chips (see photo)

  • 5/5 Leah G. 9 months ago on Google
    Variety of food and drinks. Clean, train station very close, plenty of bathrooms. Seats are comfortable, folding seats.

    Love this place. So close to my heart always

  • 4/5 Heemi K. 1 year ago on Google
    Iconic. During the All Blacks vs Wallaby match it was at capacity but directions to our gate and seating area was a great service. Even though concession/food stalls were plentiful there were still massive lines at each. Such a great venue.

  • 5/5 Shan 1 year ago on Google
    Best concert venue I have ever been to! So easy to get to, easy to get in, easy to find seats, heaps of food/drink places, water fountains every few meters and loads of clean toilets! Only concert I havent had to wait in lines forever to get food or go to the toilet

    Quarter final Blues against Highlanders at Eden Park. Atmosphere was great with supporters from both side. Blues was too good. Always heard about Eden Park to be able to come and watch the game was so blessed.

  • 5/5 STEPHANE R. 1 year ago on Google
    The legendary park. This is the second time that I have come. I came for the launch of the World Womenโ€™s Rugby Cup. The stadium was full with great supporters, families with kids, all there to enjoy and have fun. I saw 3 games one after another and did not see the time pass. They propose a diversity of food and drinks (only low alcohol beers), which you enjoy when more in a cold weather. You may want to come with your bottle of water which you can refill. They propose animation at the entrance. Kids were smiling.

  • 3/5 Marion W. 1 year ago on Google
    Love going to watch the rugby at Eden Park. Food vendors had a good variety of food and prices reasonable. Booze prices should be a bit cheaper. The only thing that spoils it are the people that feel the need to vape during the game. It would be nice if they considered other people around them.

  • 5/5 Phillip E. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely awesome stadium. In my opinion nz best. Great lighting and seating. Sound system is great and the stadium has a great setout. Easy to enter and find your way around and also easy to exit to buses taxi and train services if needed. We did as you get free public transport included in ticket. We love coming to Eden Park and will continue for many years to come. Love that there was 40,000 people that came to support womans rugby. Thank u eden park team

    Fantastic venue to watch the women's world cup. Hard for the catering stalls to keep up, lengthy waits. Security and ground staff very helpful at this event
