Apple Park Visitor Center

Welcome to Apple in California. Apple Park has created a special place just for visitors. An architectural extension of the private campus, the Apple Park Visitor Center offers guests a place to learn, explore, shop, and more.

Created to illustrate the intention of building an office park that fits into the natural landscape, discover the Exhibition space within the Visitor Center that showcases the innovative design principles of Apple Park. Then, shop at the Store, which includes exclusive Apple and Apple Park branded merchandise. The merchandise is a highly curated selection of Apple products and accessories.

After exploring the Exhibition and Store, relax at the Apple Cafe. With comfortable seating both inside and out, the Cafe serves refreshments for guests to enjoy as they take in the surrounding olive grove. Lastly, head up to the Roof Terrace, which features a unique view of Apple Park and its rolling landscape.

Visiting the Apple Park and Apple Campus

April 23, 2019 by Island Miler

I’m an Apple fan, if you didn’t already figure that out.  So, while in the Bay Area, visiting the Apple Park and Apple Campus was a goal of mine, even if that meant just taking a quick look around outside.  

Getting to Apple Park

After enjoying our breakfast at Tartine Manufactory, we jumped back into our Silvercar and headed out Apple Park.  To get to Palo Alto, we took the 101, the 85, and, finally, Interstate 280.  Once on the surface streets, you’ll need to make your way to North Tantau Ave, and from there, you can drive right into the Apple Park Visitor Center.  Though there’s an above-ground parking lot, you’ll most likely end up in the underground structure as we did.  Parking, though, is free.  

The Visitor Center

The Apple Park Visitor Center is what you’d expect; a glorified Apple Store with a few unique products, an AR tour, a cafe, and an observation deck. It’s an interesting place to visit filled with passionate staff, but if you’re hoping to see something unique (other than the architecture and the AR tour), then you’re out of luck. But, anyway, take a look at some of the photos I took while we were there.

Visiting Apple Campus

Once we finished looking around at the Apple Park Visitor Center, we jumped back into our Silvercar and headed to Apple Campus. The original campus isn’t far from the newer Apple Park, being just 2.5 miles away on One Infinite Loop.

Things are a little less organized at Apple Campus than at Apple Park. Sings are a bit lacking, so we needed to look around to figure out where to park. For what it’s worth, the visitor parking appears to be in the open lot immediately to the right when you drive in.

Once you park, you’ll find an Apple Store right across from the parking lot. This store has a few Campus-exclusive items, though it’s a lot smaller (and emptier) than Apple Campus. Of course, you can walk around and take a look at the exterior of the building too.

Visiting the Apple Park and Apple Campus, Final Thoughts

Honestly, there isn’t a whole lot to see at Apple Park or Apple Campus. As a result, this is a stop to make only if you’re a serious Apple fan or want to appreciate the unique architecture of the Apple Park Visitor Center. Seriously, you’d get a better view of Apple Park by walking around it or flying your drone over it. Too bad I couldn’t find a suitable place to launch my drone since we were pressed for time.

A brief tour of Apple Park's Visitor Center

Apple Park is breathtaking: Minimalist, austere, Zen. The main building curves through the campus and above the trees, a Ring of glass and solar panels that disappears behind the rolling hills one moment only to rise up and fill your field of view the next.

That's how it looked to me during Apple's September event, when I and a few hundred of my closest media friends got to an early look at the public and press-facing parts of the new campus.

The orchards are still growing in, but it's easy to see them, and the paths that meander around and in between, will be a welcome home to fruit, birds, and runners. No sign of a vineyard, though. At least not yet.

Apple Park is technically located at 1 Apple Park Way in Cupertino, California not far from the original Infinite Loop campus. But for everyone outside of Apple, it's really located at 10600 North Tantau Ave. That's where you'll enter through the Visitor Center, which includes an Apple Store and a Café.

Both follow the company's latest design language — the one found at the newly updated Apple at Infinite Loop store. The scale is similar too, smaller and more intimate than Union Square or World Trade, but with the same earthy, almost communal vibe.

There, you can grab a beverage, hot or cold, and go up onto the observation deck to get an even better view of the Ring and the orchards. You can also shop for. all the standard Apple Store fare, plus some of the same kind of special clothing and keepsake items that were previously exclusive to Infinite Loop. That includes t-shirts, pens, water bottles, mugs, and more. They're all seasonal and rotate in and out frequently so, if you see something you like, grab it immediately.

There's also a special augmented reality experience in the building: A model of Apple Park in its entirety that, when you look at it through the lens of dedicated iPads, comes to life in AR. Move around. Sneaker-zoom in and out, and watch roofs levitate and area unfurl. It's as close as you can come to being a drone flying around the campus.

It'll be interesting to see how much, if any, of the park area around the Visitor Center is open to the public but the Visitor Center itself provides more than enough for anyone interesting in checking out Apple's new campus, sampling some of Caffe Macs fare, and leaving with a souvenir or several.

The Apple Park Visitor Center opens to the public on Friday, November 17.

An app for a tour guide

I'm a tour guide in a federal park. I'd like to use an application on my iPad that would make a photo appears as my location in the park without me having to manipulate the iPad as the visitors can watch the photos when we arrive on the spot I want to show them. Does it exist?
