Indian Wells Tennis Garden

THIS venue is insane. It's like a theme park for adults. Architectural design alone gives this place a 5. Add Sun, palm trees, sunsets, good food x 10, a little alcohol and tennis and you have an 11.5. I'll go back as many times as they'll let me. 😉

My experience at the Indian Wells 2024 was nothing short of exhilarating! From the moment I stepped into the stadium, I was swept up in the electrifying atmosphere of world-class tennis. The matches themselves were incredibly intense and exciting. Watching top-ranked players battle it out on the court was a truly unforgettable experience. The energy from the crowd was palpable, adding to the thrill of the competition.

Great venue! Fun and enjoyed the tennis. I purchased grounds pass for one day, Friday. Specifically for the Bryan Brothers concert! Great entertainment 👌! Don't ever miss it!
They gave away radios to listen on the grounds.. their own Tennis Commentaries. 🎾 loved it! ❤

Our first time here, very impressed with the place but will have to agree with other reviews regarding policy on bags. I read the policy about a clear plastic bag and the size of the purse. My sister in law used a small bag and she was stopped because according to their measurement- it was too big so she had to bring it back to the car. But yet we saw a few with purses the same size as hers. I ended up buying clear plastic bags for me and my sister in law so we won't have any issues the next day. There is inconsistency with this policy.

Our third visit to the BNP! We have also been to Wimbledon and US Open. This is by far our favorite! The first week especially! You can easily see lots of great tennis on a day pass, but go to the special event at the beginning of the tourney with the big hitters! Also reserve a couple days on court 2!

Stadium Tour Series (Indian Wells Tennis Garden), Part 1
Often referred to as “Tennis Paradise”, this venue features 29 hard courts including Stadium 1 which seats 16,000 people.

Although open to the public year round, it is during each March that it showcases the world’s most accomplished men and women professional players during the simultaneous ATP and WTA events. The shockingly close proximity to such great players is a rare treat (including marveling at such things as a 143 mph serve)! 🚀

While Stadium Courts 1 and 2 are where the very best players are typically featured, those tickets can be pricey. On the other end of the financial spectrum, the field courts offer incredible value when viewing not only tomorrow’s next generation of professionals, but also today’s very best as they hone their craft on the practice courts in pursuit of hoisting a trophy during the final weekend of play.

Since our last visit a few years ago, the tournament now offers complimentary daily musical performances between the day and evening sessions. For us that meant enjoying the eclectic duo of Kevin Cronin (lead singer of REO Speedwagon) and Mats Wilander (7-time Grand Slam Champion).

Parking was free for the first time that we’ve attended, but there are a few cautions that you should be aware of. Be prepared for a bit of a hike from the lot to the stadium grounds (on uneven surfaces for those utilizing wheelchairs, strollers, or walking canes). Also be prepared that the legion of staff that direct you when parking your vehicle will be long gone by the time you depart (it took us 25 minutes to navigate the ensuing chaos when exiting the lot at the end of the night).

And that’s…Henry’s Take.

Truly a Tennis Paradise. Amazing venue, helpful ushers and ground staff. Great food options. Lots of space to relax to either enjoy the sun or under the canopy of palm trees. Practice courts r a great way to get up close with players.

We had so much fun on the grounds during the tennis tournament. Facilities were great. Lots of fun. Food options were good.

A wonderful and exciting place to be during the BNP Paribas.

The entire gardens are beautiful, shopping, food, and tennis courts to see your favorite tennis players.

One of my favorites, Aryna Sabalenka, was amazing to watch. She has an incredible serve and high ball toss. She fought hard for the qualifying win against Peyton Sterns. Sitting just four rows back from center court was amazing. Had Bill Gates 14 seats over.

Be prepared to do lots of walking from parking and then I to the tennis garden.

Everything here is so beautiful, clean and full of flowers, and the staff is incredible, they always give you a warm welcome and they’re so helpful.

Great Tennis Tournament. Can see all the players— download the BNP APP for schedule and tickets 🤩🎾👏

Amazing to play on the courts that the pros play on! The views are spectacular too. The staff are very helpful and can set up matches. It has everything you need.

We just wanted to post a commendation for the staff that we encountered at the Indian Wells BNP Tennis Tournament in March. Unfortunately on our second day there, my husband injured his knee as we were getting off the bus. He was totally unable to walk and from that moment on the staff was all about getting him help. The First Aid personnel was amazing, the security staff helped us and even had a car drive us back to the hotel. Cannot say enough about the staff!
The tournament, by the way, was wonderful up to that point!

Easy drive from Los Angeles...gorgeous venue an intimate way to see players up close...you need to use a clear bag for personal items, no outside food ...food is super expensive tho...I spent $72 for just two cheeseburgers fries and soda!! Ouch. And the main food area is a far walk from the courts... Double ouch. Next time we're going to just eat ice cream there and dine somewhere in town. But the tennis facility is great!! Highly recommend. But wear a hat. Sun was intense even on a mild Monday...opening day...and tickets were only $10!! Great deal fir a fun day in the desert!!!

Indian Wells is always an amazing place. Everything from the stadium to watching at the suite and level is amazing. The food and amenities are some of the best at any sporting venue. The staff is always friendly and so are all the volunteers. You can tell everyone takes so much pride in making sure this event is successful. Every single year you get a chance to watch some of the best tennis players in the world at a an amazing class facility. This is why so many fans come to Indian Wells every year and skip going to other tournaments. Definitely recommend for both average tennis fans to the extreme tennis fans to come and take part.

Referred to as the 5th major on the pro tennis circuit, this is one special venue for a sporting event! I have attended the tournament in past years. In March for 2 weeks, the best in men's and women's tennis put on a competitive show. 7 rounds are played and when you are watching tennis you sit very still and quiet. Then you hear the roars and it is a goose bump moment. It can get expensive in the lower seats, but bring binoculars and you get a top down view up high at a more reasonable price! When you walk the grounds, you really feel this is a special place. The best restaurants serve here and there are tents loaded with tennis gear to cameras. The backdrop of the Santa Rosa mountains at dusk is over the top!

I went to the Indian Wells Tennis Garden and there was a tournament going, my friends were there and it was a really fulfilling and exciting experience, the food was decent but quite expensive of course as it is like a fair. There are many courts to watch with the higher ranking players in larger more pristine courts but nonetheless most of the players are quite advanced in the sport. I enjoyed the event I went to and hope to go to the next ones.

Unfortunately the Indian Wells Masters
Tournament has been postponed this year, but it was super cool to check the place out. If you love tennis, this is definitely a place to visit.

Back here again 2 years later, 2 months before the Indian Wells Masters Tournament. Still as cool as ever! Coming here during sunset is absolutely amazing.
