Epstein Family Amphitheater Accessibility & Amenities

Wheelchair access, ADA seating, amenities, and what to know inside.

La Jolla, California

Quick answer

Epstein Family Amphitheater's main floor is wheelchair accessible via a ramp at the left-side entrance. There is no elevator—upper levels are stairs only. ADA seating is on the main floor, left of stage. Service animals are welcome. Accessible restrooms are on the main floor behind the bar.

The honest take

ADA floor spots fill early on general-admission shows—arrive 90 minutes before doors to guarantee one. The accessible restroom is behind the main bar and isn't clearly signed; staff will point you there if you ask. If stairs are difficult but you're not using a chair, ask for main-floor reseating at the box office—they accommodate when they can.
