“Attended Blizzcon 2026 here and it was super fun. There's a few convenience stores and lots of hotels within walking distance. Food vendors inside the venue and food trucks outside the venue. The stadium for the Overwatch competition was HUGE! I do wish the event coordinators had mitigated lines better or had water on hand”
“I was there for blizzcon this year and it was a great venue the only reason it wasn't perfect the line up for the toilets were super long with out directions to more open ones. The entry and exits could have had a bit more flow. But the facilities were great and staff were all super friendly.”
“BlizzCon 2026 at the Anaheim Convention Center was an incredible experience for fans of World of Warcraft and Diablo! The excitement, passionate gaming community, and celebration of these legendary universes made the event truly memorable. From the epic world of Azeroth to the dark, immersive atmosphere of Sanctuary, it was fantastic to share the love of these games with fellow fans. A must-visit event for anyone who enjoys Blizzard’s iconic worlds, especi…”
“Big size. Good parking lot you just need to walk miles and miles to get to Convention Center and share it with Disney fans. Good number of WC services which is important to say. Good catering services either inside, or in the truck foods outside. Been here for many expos now and I can say this is a five star place. ⭐⭐🌟⭐⭐”
“Beautiful clean convention center but staff need a little more training for big events. Here for blizzcon and staff have been nothing but rude. Disorganized and they cannot handle such a big crowd. Definitely could be changes to training and how this convention center handles capacity.”
