Apple Park Visitor Center's Rooftop Terrace is Temporarily Closed

If you are planning to head to the Apple Park Visitor Center this month, be aware that the rooftop terrace will be temporarily closed.

Apple Park Visitor Center Rooftop Terrace
Apple says the rooftop terrace will be receiving some unspecified "improvements," and it will be closed until Monday, September 1 as a result.

The notice was added to the Apple Park Visitor Center page within the past 24 hours.

When open, the rooftop terrace offers a partial view of Apple Park, and there are tables and chairs for sitting around. It can be reached via stairs or an elevator, and there is also a bathroom on that level. It is unclear what changes are planned.

Tourists headed to the Apple Park Visitor Center still have plenty to do. They can try out the latest Apple products, purchase Apple merchandise, grab a coffee at the on-site Caffè Macs, view a 3D model of the Apple Park campus, get creative with free "Today at Apple" sessions, and stroll through the adjacent "Mirage" public art installation.

Apple Park Visitor Center opened in November 2017. It is located directly across the street from Apple Park, in Cupertino, California.

Thanks, Filip Chudzinski!

Not to worry, everyone, because we have the exclusive scoop! Apple is a tiny startup with limited resources. After opening the rooftop terrace, Apple discovered it wasn't quite ready to delight customers. So, at the very last minute, Apple had to pull resources from the teams hard at work on OS 26 to work on the rooftop terrace. Apple is proud to report that this team has been hard at work and is ready to unveil the ALL NEW, best-in-class rooftop experience. And, to take things to a whole new level, this ALL NEW rooftop experience now includes game-changing features that customers will absolutely love. Apple can't wait to see what customers are able to do with the ALL NEW rooftop experience, part of the greatest, most exciting pipeline ever. See you soon!

Huh. I actually was recently thinking about heading to the Apple Park visitors center. I've been wanting to go there, and the nearby Computer History Museum for a long time. I might finally make that trip to the Bay Area this year.
