    Shops are so-so, some cool restaurants on the perimeter...but see it for the architecture alone. Make sure to view it from the north side with the ramps.

    Tip: This place has no arcade; if you want to see or play arcade games, then head across the street to the poster & arcade spot or pinball place. Both are super fun (prices very $5-$15 for the day).

    Stately winged lions flank the north entrance to the historic Grove Arcade ushering you into the perfect place to pick up a piece of the mountains to take home with you.

    Nice arcade. Several great shops. Wear a mask. It was a bit warm inside.

    Truthfully a bit underwhelming. A beautiful building, but there wasn't much to see or do beyond the five minute walk through.
