Went for the Fed cup, got to see Sofia kenin and serena williams play. A small arena relative to other tennis venues allowing for an intimate tennis experience. Staff is friendly and pleasant, save for one usher on the lower level who had a penchant for irritation when people tried to walk in and out of section when it was not a changeover.

I had a really good time at this Arena. The parking was easy and it was at a very low cost of $5. It Feels Like These Days people are asking for up to $20 or more especially if you go to hey Seahawks or Mariners game. In this case it was only $5 and that really was surprising.
As far as the arena goes I was impressed it hello it was nice and clean and easy to navigate. I was also surprised at how small it was yet they packed it in very well. I got the opportunity to check out the arena right up to the ice which was really cool.
If you ever in Everett and you want to go check out great hockey game then this is the place you'd want to come to.

Small ice hockey arena. No bad seats. We attended the Circus Soleil Crystal Show. Thoroughly enjoyed it! They search purses on entry. You can bring a plastic bottle in for water but even if it's sealed it will be dumped out, then you can refill inside. Food is expensive. Pizza slice $7.00, water $4.00 etc typical for sports arenas I suppose. I did notice that they were selling fresh donuts that smelled delicious.

Poor logistics planning. 4/12 Cirque Du Soleil pre dinner was an embarrassment to say the least. (Meals were not even served before the event started - we walked out and got popcorn instead - burnt popcorn ofc) Dated facilities. Low service levels. Seats not accessible, despite calling ahead and checking. (Purchased seats on the ice, had to go down a lot of stairs on crutches because staff wouldnt allow us to go down the elevator to the next level and access the seats from the same floor) Will not ever return here for any event.

The show though? Cirque Du Soleil seldom disappoint, this was no exception! We would never return here to see a performance though - not when paying $430 for two people and having to deal with the facility issues we had.

A wonderful place to ice skate! Check the calendar on their website for Free Skate times, as the do change pretty frequently. Right now weekend public skating times are Sat 12-2pm & Sun 2:30-4:30pm, and there are daytime & evening sessions on weekdays. The Silvertips play & practice here, and they host youth hockey and figure skating programs.

Standard skate price is $10 per person. That's $6 for admission, $4 for skate rental. And they keep their skates in better condition than the Lynnwood Ice Rink. You can ask for figure or hockey skates at the rental desk. They have both in all sizes. I've never had to exchange pairs due to defect or broken/short laces, which sometimes happens at other rinks. If you forgot socks (like I did) you can buy them for $11 in the pro store. So try not to forget socks!

It's also a large venue for games, shows, and stuff like that. If you're visiting for one of the above get there early or parking will be seriously rough, and you'll end up a few blocks away or more, parked on a side street. The area fills up fast. Pop-up lots w/jacked up rates are also a possibility.

It's wise to bring your own waters, drinks, snacks if possible. There are concession stands & vending machines charging 3x what they're worth. But they're there if you need em.

General parking can also be a pain. But nothing like event parking! There are a few free streetside spaces right in front on Broadway, and there's a pay lot around the corner on Hewitt -running $3 to park for a standard skate sesh of 2 hrs. And it's in a pedestrian friendly part of downtown Everett.

Someone did not take into consideration that this is a kids event that usually requires parents to attend. It was crammed, lines were extensive, and the females restroom was considered off limits at certain ends of the establishment.

Great place for a tennis tournament, had good seats, so much fun seeing tennis live, the crowd was yelling USA, we definitely got our money's worth. Usher's were very friendly and polite to help u find your seat, lots of good food to choose from. I highly recommend going to a live tennis match!

Located in Everett. Formerly known as the Xfinity Arena now Angel of the Winds. I have no clue why the name was changed. My daughter just had her graduation here at 4 on a Friday. So from my house in Kent to Everett not dealing with traffic should be about 45 minutes. It took me 2.5 hours to get to my daughter graduation because of the ridiculous amount of traffic that is going North. We left our house at 2pm expecting 2 hours to be MORE THAN ENOUGH travel time... but the traffic on this date was ridiculous and I just could not fig out why. So as my boyfriend used GPS to try to find us a faster route, we also found that EVERYONE else was trying to do the same. we went from freeway, to side street, to main street, and him doing 65 in the bus lane swerving in and out of traffic trying to get us here on time. I missed my daughter walk the stage. We have to do something about traffic that comes from south king county to the north end, its absolutely terrible. Not only that, people in seattle cannot drive. when the sun comes out here, they all begin to drive like its raining and like they are making lifes decisions and sight seeing on a Sunday. Literally, there are just as many accidents when the sun comes out as when it rains, what is that about. Bottom line is, if you have to go here heading from anywhere in South king county, leave 2-3 hours ahead of time or you may find yourself upset that you dont make it on time and the amount of traffic. aside from that, this place is pretty big but doesnt look like it from the outside. the seating is very steep in some areas, weird.

Door open time was changed prior to the event, and proper notification sent by email, but then the venue failed to open in a timely manner, leaving hundreds of people freezing out in the snow. I ended up getting sick from the hour+ long wait experience. We didn't even make it to our seats until after the show started - and there was supposed to be a 90 minute cushion from doors opening. I'm highly disappointed in how it was all handled. Floor seating was very tight with hardly any leg room, leaving us all having to move out of the aisle to let anyone get out. Security and personnel were amazing though. Parking very limited in the area and event parking is $20 either right across the street or a couple blocks away.

Attended a high school graduation and observed the areana staff requiring families to give up their kids water and juices at the door. I understand the need to make money on concessions, but it was not a typical event. And this kind of thing should not happen in the manner that it did.
