    Amazing as always. Have to do each year or st least once. U.S. Open is always a blast. Typically someone has corporate tickets they can't use last minute and are offering them up or purchase blood nose seats. Clean, great games, wont regret it!

    Must see if you enjoy tennis! The grounds are so large with so many tennis courts. I had no idea there was so much going on. You can watch the players practice and everything. The only negative was the price of the food, but that's how it is at any event. The best food is available in the food court with many vendors, but you can also get stadium food (pizza, hamburger, etc.) in the stadium. They have large televisions outside of Arthur Ashe stadium if you wanted to just relax outside and lay on the grass watching the matches.

    One of the best (if not the best) places to rent a tennis court in NYC. Plenty of tennis courts to choose from, fair price and great maintenance conditions. Just be aware of minor tournaments throughout the year and of course the US Open period before scheduling a court. Easy to park. The only downside is the lack of food for purchasing (I only saw vending machines).

    Have attended the US Open multiple times over the last few years and every time is an outstanding experience. Connected by train too. Great venue, awesome staff and facility and so much fun. Very nicely organized. Security lines are longer some years and takes a little longer to get in. Backpacks are checked. Have seen several matches at Arthur Ashe, always get to see good players. The court has a retractable roof which they put up in case of rain. There are lot of food choices outside. Gift shops, many photo stations. The whole experience is worth visiting.

    The US Open Experience is unique. It is all about tennis and having a great time. It is perfect to go with family and friends. The Arthur Ashe Stadium is the main stadium because that is where the top-ranked players play. However, most of the matches are played around the other stadiums and outdoor courts so even if you do not go to the main stadium you will have a ton of great matches.

    The facilities are good. Fuku apparently has three (at least!) locations here!! If you leave from or via Manhattan - even if you are on the East side - you should STRONGLY consider taking the LIRR out there. Honestly, the subway used to be ok and now is terrible, laborious and long.

    Go to the Qualifiers of the US open. Its free, and you can see so many great tennis matches by wandering around. The famous players practice in the morning.

    Everyone is pleasant and it is a nice place to walk around between matches. There is a good food court, but prices are high.
    One area that needs improvement is handicap accommodation. There is only one elevator available for use by the wheelchairs, cane users, and the stroller brigade.

    The U.S. Open is a lot of fun, but the event and the venue aren't great. It's a hassle to get into, with 2 entrances, but one is like a 15-minute walk all the way around the circumference of the venue. The signage is non-existent--how hard would it be to put out a bunch of maps or signs? The staff for the U.S. Open are shockingly untrained. We had reserved seats for a stadium, but the staff at that stadium didn't recognize the tickets, so I got badly sunburned sitting up in the general seating area and we missed out on our great seats. 1 in 5 staff actually knew how to read the tickets, in my experience. And the food. Wow. Some of the worst. Nowadays people expect decent, even good, food at sport venues. Nearby Citi Field has Shake Shack, etc. And this place has one coffee purveyor, Dean and Deluca not serving coffee but serving weirdly shaded bratwurst, and a taco place serving the most expensive tacos I've ever eater, that coincidentally were some of the worst. Basic fact: corn tortillas should be warm. I get that you're kind of in a rush, but even with a long wait, our taco fillings were lukewarm and flavorless, made with low-quality beef, and the soft corn tortillas were cold and stale. The tennis was excellent, and it's too bad the USTA hasn't bothered to prepare a venue deserving of the event.

    Its tennis paradise in Queens. Enjoyed the food options this year and the infrastructure improvements of late (more restaurants, upgraded venues, better wifi etc) are super. Parking is always a challenge. Parking shuttles claim to be continuously running, but they need to roll more often. Would be nice to provide a bus option for accessing the South and West gates from subway/train/orange packing areas.

    I attended the annual free qualifying rounds at the Billy Jean King Tennis Center. There's a lot of construction going on to build the new Louis Armstrong Stadium, scheduled to open 2018. Despite the work being done, the staff goes out of their way to welcome visitors and provide directions.
    There are posted do's and don'ts for visitors as well as a bag check-in for items that are not accepted (fee). The security procedure is reassuring.
    Once inside the center there's an extensive food court and other food vendors for a variety of tastes. Bring lots of money. An average meal of burger, fries and soda can cost $22.
    There are many small tennis courts with bleacher seating so that you can really be close to the action.
    There's also many retailers when you need a break from tennis. There are areas to sit in lounge settings as well as shaded grassy areas to picnic with friends - new additions this year
    Even if you're in the cheap seats in Arthur Ashe Stadium, which seats more than 23k, for an evening match you can't beat the view of Manhattan at sunset!
    Don't miss the US Open, August 27-September 10!

    If you decide to go to US Open, you can easily spend the whole day here. Enough of options for food, drinks, shops and entertainment. Screens are everywhere! You don't have to be on the court to enjoy the emotions of a good game!

    Only come here for the us open, so I can't speak on the facility other than for that event.

    The recent improvements have been amazing. These changes have had a huge impact on my enjoyment level during the us open. There's more space to walk around the grounds. More places to get food. And more restroom facilities.

    The problem I have is with some of the food service employees. Every year I go, I've had consistently bad service. I don't know if they're poorly trained or if they just don't care. Some of the absolute worst food service workers I've ever interacted with. It's not 100 percent of them, but there are enough that it effects me every year.

    Pristine courts and a spacious, well kept up interior. You can book hours in advance online or by phone. I've played here as part of a wheelchair tennis program, and the coaches and other center staff are really good - the place just has a nice vibe about it. Also, check out the tasty and inexpensive snack truck in the plaza out front if you are hungry before or after your games

    We have gone to the US Open for eleven years. The "nonprofit" USTA is trying to maximize profits and make larger stadiums that make viewing the venue on TV better. If you go, bring a lot of money and patience as the security lines and trains to the venue make it the start of a long day. Before they got rid of the old grandstand, fans with day tickets could get to see some of the best players and matches from the front rows due to open seating. Now, 3 main courts have assigned seats for the closest seats so the TV audience has a better view of the action on those courts.
