Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Yelp lists hours of 10:30 AM to 10:00 PM, but that listing was last updated several months ago, so confirm hours on the official site before you go. Weekday lunches and mid-afternoon visits tend to be quieter. ASU game days and weekend evenings bring heavier crowds. Valley Metro Rail runs along Apache Boulevard, so you can skip parking and ride in from downtown Tempe or Phoenix. Gift cards are sold online and in-store.
