Orlando Mayor Dyer Buddy Dyer is inviting Central Florida residents to a Community Open House at the Amway Center on Saturday, October 2. Residents will get a first-hand look at all of the fan amenities and state-of-the-art technology available only in Downtown Orlando’s new events center.
This is a free, ticketed event featuring self-guided tours, entertainment and local performances, free popcorn and soda and commemorative items to celebrate this historic accomplishment. Representatives from the Orlando Magic and Orlando Predators will also be on-hand.
Residents can experience a “taste of the Amway Center” with a sampling of the newest food offerings available for purchase.
The self-guided tour of the Amway Center will take patrons through the most technologically-advanced events center in the country, showcasing two levels of spacious concourses that include an impressive array of concessions; a stop along the way so the kids can climb STUFF’S Magic Castle, then up to the contemporary, open-air setting of Gentleman Jack’s Terrace, then up 100 feet to the Sky Bar spotlighting some of Downtown Orlando’s best views; and then back down to the lower bowl where you can see the largest arena score board in the country.
