"There are a few garages that are thought to be part of profound changes in the way we live our lives, and one of them is in the northern California town of Los Altos. It’s here that Steve Jobs, the heart and soul of Apple Computers, grew up. The plain old suburban garage at 2066 Crist Drive in Los Altos, California, is said to be the birthplace of Apple computers. But that might be a bit of plain old urban myth. The simple home is generally seen as the place where much of the foundation of Apple was developed, and it’s been depicted—perhaps with a little wishful thinking—as the epicenter of the creativity and genius of a few young geeks who “thought differently.” That is certainly one point of view, seen in popular culture and movies like Pirates of Silicon Valley. However, this might be an overstatement at best. In a 2014 interview, co-founder of Apple Steve Wozniak said “[w]e did no designs there, no breadboarding, no prototyping, no planning of products. We did no manufacturing there.” According to Wozniak, it was more of a practical solution to their lack of available funds. “The garage didn’t serve much purpose, except it was something for us to feel was our home,” said Wozniak. “We had no money. You have to work out of your home when you have no money.” Still, the garage is seen as the birthplace of Apple Computers. Now and then people are seen taking photos of themselves in front of what today has been declared a historic landmark by the Los Altos Historical Commission." - ATLAS_OBSCURA

🍎 A must for Apple fans — and even if you’re not, it’s worth the visit! The architecture is stunning, the space feels super futuristic, and the staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They’ve got exclusive merch you won’t find at any other Apple Store. Great spot for photos and souvenirs! 📸🛍️

On the surface it is essentially very similar to the majority of other Apple stores, however this is essentially the public centerpiece of the new Apple Campus. Architecturally the building is surprisingly cool for what at a certain level is a glass box, but who else would spare no expense and have curved glass corners? A cool spot that is worth the visit if you are nearby, and they also have some pretty cool merch that is unique to the visitor centre.

⸻ A beautifully designed Apple Store, as expected — it’s the only part of the Apple headquarters that’s open to the public. There’s a scale model of the Apple Park campus inside, which helps give you a sense of the overall layout and design. They also sell location-exclusive t-shirts, but honestly, they weren’t that impressive. Worth a quick visit if you’re an Apple fan or interested in architecture, but don’t expect too much beyond the store itself.

This is one of the best visitor centers I’ve been to—and definitely one I’d recommend if you’re in the San Francisco area. The Apple Visitor Center is a perfect blend of Apple’s vision and design: elegant, sleek, and beautifully simple. You can explore a 3D immersive model of Apple Park, check out the latest Apple products, and even enjoy a great cup of coffee while you’re there.

Visiting the Apple Park Visitor Center in Cupertino is a remarkable experience that blends cutting-edge design with serene natural beauty. Designed by Foster + Partners, the building showcases Apple’s commitment to innovation and sustainability. Its minimalist architecture features a floating carbon fiber roof supported by a central stone core, allowing for unobstructed 360-degree views through expansive glass walls . The surrounding landscape is equally impressive, with meticulously curated drought-resistant plants, including olive trees and native grasses, creating a tranquil environment that complements the modern structure . The rooftop terrace offers panoramic views of the iconic ring-shaped Apple Park headquarters, providing a unique perspective of the campus . Inside, visitors can explore an interactive augmented reality model of Apple Park, browse exclusive Apple merchandise, and enjoy refreshments at the on-site café. The attention to detail in both design and landscaping makes the Visitor Center a must-see destination for architecture enthusiasts and Apple fans alike.

I enjoyed the 2nd floor there and slept but the food options were limited. You can bring your laptop to work and there should be more food options. Coffee was good. It was an Apple logo and it cost $4.

Top notch apple store like every other! They have a beautiful VR experience showcasing their spaceship. However, the top level could have been much closer for better views of the park. Parking is adequate, the place has clean restrooms as well.
