The current Amtrak station is at 350 Hoefgen Street beside the former Sunset Station. Train timings can fall outside daytime exploring hours, so a station guide does not mean a one-night outing will fit.
Times to reach each place are planning allowances from the station, not measured routes. Check directions, opening hours and accessibility before you go.
Spend an unhurried hour around the garden’s paths, play spaces and public art. Restaurants and programmed events are separate choices with their own hours.

Hemisfair lists park hours daily 5am–midnight. Individual businesses, water features and events can have different schedules.

Restaurants and venues have individual schedules, often focused on evenings. No shared daytime opening hours or admission availability is verified.
Keep to public streets and confirm the specific business you intend to visit. An evening entertainment listing is not proof that food is available during a morning train stop.
