IKEA

On Tuesdays, kids eat free. Coupled with the free play room for kids for up to 90 minutes, and it's like a mini parental vacation!

Make sure you get here early in the morning on weekends if you want to shop peacefully . Weekdays are a good time to go visit too.

love their affordable Swedish meatballs dish and yummy cinnamon rolls and ice cream for $1.00. Can be hectic on weekends but you always manage to buy something you think you need.

It's a giant one! Tip: get there a few minutes before 10am. Doing an IKEA run without the crowd makes for an experience

Friendly and helpful staff , be sure to try a hotdog as you walk around. They're great for a quick fix if you're hungry.

They have cookies a d coffee at Exchanges and Returns. It may take a bit, but might as well keep caffeinated and sugared up! ???? ☕️

The $1 nonfat frozen yogurt cones are surprisingly delicious!

Why do parents bring their children to this store? I swear every child in there was screaming. But the meatballs are delicious!

Go in through the entrance, follow the signs for returns, grab a cart from the semi-hidden hallway as you turn the corner. Just walk in past the cash registers and you can do Ikea in 1/10 the time.

Got fam? Park on the other side of the main entrance. Plenty of spaces. Easy access to the store. Parking for hybrids too.

They have a special now for the Swedish meatballs : salad , drink and 15 meatballs ($1 for 5 more) all for $5.99! A deal for sure!

I like the cafeteria . Tasty, cheap options . Sizes are small if you're used to American portions.

It's Ikea. Huge, busy, with great prices on good furniture . Mattresses come vacuum packed and rolled for easier transport.

Since you're at IKEA, skip the meatballs and head over to Mi Pueblo Market across the street and hit up their amazing deli for a plate of carnitas or bowl of caldo de pollo .

Try some beds and grab hotdogs and coffee . Yes, get back home.

With the exception of the awfully slow checkout lines , it’s a great experience. They have a lot to learn from Costco...

If you're not going to browse (only do this at odd hours), look up item locations within the store from home, then crush your visit to the store.

Sign up for an Ikea family card. You get extra discounts and notifications of specials :) and it's free!

Check out the fjlurgen and the gortbyt. The lente-wurrl is really comfortable and the galm are really delicious.

World famous ice cream & hot dogs located on 1st floor near checkout, not at 2nd floor food court . Oh, and they sell furniture & stuff here too :)

Start your return online and scan the QR code to get in-line.

Friends, if you need me to put together your furniture , I'll do it in the payment of Swedish meat balls ! :)

Line to enter store, post-COVID. Plan accordingly.

$1 nonfat vanilla yogurt cone , $2 two hotdogs , drink, chips , $1 cinnamon bun , $4 for 6 cinnamon buns , $1.75 pizza slice ... Free refills

Instead of getting Swedish meatballs from the cafe , buy a jar of lindenberry sauce and make some *homemeade* meatballs and mash to go with it. Yum!

On certain dates you could eat for free, where they will deduct the price of your restaurant purchase from the total if you spend more than $150.

The returns line is extremely slow even at opening. Plan more time than you think you'll need here and make sure you take a number.

Ikea restaurant on a Saturday - best birth control ever.

Arrive at 10:00 am on weekends for the optimal ratio of furniture to humans.

After eating the delicious swedish meatballs here, you'll notice that IKEA also sells furniture at reasonable prices... what are the odds!?!? Enjoy!!!

Do returns earlier in the week. The wait is only a few minutes.

I like Ikea brand, but Ikeas in the US are so much worse than in Europe... Much smaller choice, it feels empty.

It’s IKEA....the hundred dollar store or more!! Try and walk away paying less than 100

Meatballs in the middle, ice cream & hotdogs at the end.

Can't beat their PAX wardrobe systems for configuration options.

Come Sunday mornings there is a smaller crowd

If your significant other is taking too long there are lots of beds where you can take a nap!

For best parking , come mid-day during Monday.

Sign up for a family membership card. You get a free frozen yogurt !

Nightmare. LONG queue for parking . LONG queue for a flat cart. Really long queue to pay. Didn't even walk through the showroom, just came in to get the one thing we wanted. 2+ hours. Nightmare.

There is hybrid vehicle parking right outside the entrance! Non-hybrid vehicles should not take these spots!

Really like going here for their displays!

Find parking at the pickup zone if you're buying something big

Much to my amazement. Besides cheap hot dogs & tasty meatballs , this place also has furniture . Cool!

Always parking close to entrance in family parking !

If you already built your item and want to return it, you only get store credit.

I love ikea

FINALLY getting a radio desk!! Their self checkout is the best.

Estimate how long you think you will need here. Now double it :-)

It's President's Day and they're remodeling inside. It's a madhouse in there and parking is slim.
