Very pleasant and clean gift shop and restrooms. The shop attendant told us they were planning on re-opening a functioning cafe later this year! For now, the cafe section is for display only, but you can sit in the booths and walk behind the counter for a photo.

The booth where Elvis Presley sat and dined at the U-Drop Inn in the 1960s is enshrined inside the station.
[Sharon, 03/15/2021]The Conoco Tower is in great shape -- but I really was surprised by the multiple Tesla charging stations around back.

Very slick building. There's an identical one in the Pixar movie Cars (Ramones).
