They are all right. This is the campus and the corporate headquarters (a new one is being constructed nearby, as it becomes more and more congested here). As a huge fan, we just stopped by and took some pictures, just like we are part of it...just feel it!

Cool to take a picture in front of the signs for apple geeks but otherwise you can't do much. Go to the Intel museum instead. At the Intel museum they have an impressive history of microprocessors. Apple has spent nothing on PR for their technology. Work place only.

If you're expecting Apple to give you a tour of the facilities, show you the latest and greatest inventions, and treat you like a tourist, you have another thing coming. This is a workplace. However it's impressive to see the company uses eco-friendly busses to cut down on traffic, the store is open to both staff and visitors alike, and the campus is completely spotless.

It's true there is no tour. This is a work place not a museum. It's a secure site but you are able to stop and maybe take a picture or maybe grab a T-shirt from the Apple store at the headquarters.

I arrived there on the New Year Day so it was closed but from the window you could not see any interesting stuff like Microsoft Visitor Centre in Seattle for example. It is good to know but nothing much to see.

Apple is an impressive corporationTo visit Apple, it is just another very large sprawling technology corporation area. There is nothing worthy of carving out more than a few minutes of time from a vacation to see it and perhaps take a picture. Since we live in the area, we have seen it numerous times. We know people who work there. We have visited Apple property and also local Apple product stores.However, for a tourist attraction, its average. Its hard to rate anything Apple does any lower, but it easily could be in terms of tourist attractions.If a tourist, the things to see would be a quick drive pass, perhaps lunch in the area, then go to the more tourist oriented attractions like1) Tech Museum in San Jose2) Intel Museum in Santa Claraand3) Computer Museum in Mountain View.

A visit to the Apple Computer shop a Infinite Loop Cupertino is a pilgrimage Apple fans feel obliged to make. There is not much to see although the shop sells some souvenirs that are not available anywhere else.The nearby Intel Museum is actually far more interesting

Every Apple fan knows the address "1 Infinite Loop". Easy to remember, easy to find. But once you get there ... I was expecting to see some visitor center, some picture spots - basically kind of what CNN or even Google did for the visitors. Well, that's not exactly what you find. This is a closed campus, if you get lucky to find a parking spot and try to walk into the lobby, the security will stop you and direct to the company store. The store does have some unique merchandizes which you can't buy anywhere else, but, frankly, I had higher expectations.

If you love Apple, you'll love this place. I don't think you can visit here without buying something. You can see the shop, that's about all but why not take a photo by the Apple sign and say you've been. I was very happy, still, couldn't get in to see the new phone concept. Oh well.

It's truly an honor to review this place. First of all, I do not work at Apple, know anyone who works at Apple, or have any kind of invitation to go into the Apple headquarters. If you like Apple enough just like I do to visit their headquarters, I'll give you a some tips:No going into Caffé Macs (the cafeteria) unless you're with someone who works at AppleThe campus is in the shape of an oval with a parking lot surrounding all of it and as a visitor, you can park anywhere in the entire parking lotThere are public restrooms located to the left of the main entrance at 1 Infinite Loop when looking towards the doors and away from the parking lot.You cannot enter the lobby (atrium)There is free, high speed Wi-Fi (I would hope so!)If you're planning on visiting The Company Store (Of course you are), it's closed on the weekends - check website for up-to-date hoursYou're able to walk around the entire circumference of the oval (it takes about 5-10 minutes to make a complete circle)Anyway, back to my review:The landscaping here is so nice, and you can see how well maintained everything is as you walk around. After shopping at The Company Store, we took photos, and we were wanting to use the bathroom and we saw a sign pointing in the direction of the main entrance but it wasn't clear where the bathrooms were located so we walked into the doors of the main entrance where there's a receptionist desk, security guard guarding the next set of doors to the main atrium/lobby. As I was about to start taking photos the cranky receptionist said "no photos" and when asked where the restrooms are, she told us where they were. After using the bathrooms, we walked around the entire circle, took more photos, and then went on my way.

I love apple and during my West coast trip I had to go there. The shop is different and you can buy branded items as nowhere else in the world.Great experience!!

I'm a Mac. Have been for many years, so of course 1 Infinite Loop is a place that I had to go when I was in Cupertino last week. After all, it is the Mother Ship where Steve Jobs worked.But once is enough. There are no tours. The only open door is to the Company Store. Absolutely worth seeing though, if only to take the same photo of the building that everyone takes, get a T-shirt and coffee mug to say "I was there"! That's about it and I suppose that's how it should be. It's a working office building not a bloody tourist attraction! It's just a shrine for us Apple geeks. That's ok too though. Loved being there. :)

We were in Mountain View visiting family, so we took the 10 minute drive to Apple headquarters. They do not give tours and the campus is not much to see from the outside. We went to the campus store and bought a few t-shirts. Moderate pricing and moderate selection. Took our photo by the 1 Infinity Loop sign and we were on our way in 15-20 minutes.

Well it was a bit crazy how there was a valet service because the visitors parking was full. We went by to visit the store. Nice little place. No many apparel selections when we went so maybe our timing wasn't the best. If you re rig around! it's nice to stop in for a moment. Nothing major though. Regular apples tore is more exciting.

They are not selling any Apple computers or Iphones there, only tees, mugs, pens etc. The funny thing that it is the only place on the planet where you can buy such stuff (as far as I know) so it is quite interesting for Apple fans.I bought a black tee for 14,99. Big deal.
