Need it faster than 4-6 weeks? That's fine. You can do that there. I think they have discounts for asu students faculty and alumni. But don't quote me on that. It was super easy and fast.

Appointment made about a week prior to coming in because it's required. Without an appointment you might as well walk back out the door. On the plus side, it was much easier to schedule here then it was with the City of Chandler. Word has it the Post Office was four weeks out. We arrived maybe 30 minutes, give or take, prior to our appointment. And the appointment confirmation email does say to arrive at the exact time. This worked out fine because we needed to redo our paperwork. In the meantime our credentials were taken so copies could be made, we were given the appropriate forms and directed to the clipboards, took a seat to complete the new form(s). The young woman that greeted us and provided the appropriate forms (DS-82 and DS-11) for us to complete, came by to check on our status, gave us back our IDs, and reminded us of the form of payment accepted for passport(s) we requested, what to include in memo, and amount of processing fee handled by ASU and who that needed to be paid. Shortly after that we were invited to take a seat at Mr. J's desk (sorry, couldn't remember if it was Joshua or ...) where we went over more specific details, like verifying our passport photos were recent, passed over our cc's and personal checks, signed the application in his presence, etc. I inquired about turn around time and if it might be necessary to pay for expediting the process and he had us both convinced we would receive our passports within a reasonable period of time and not likely needing to pay the additional $65 for expedited processing. Fingers crossed. So we're looking forward to receiving our passport, the return of my old and expired passport card, and me with both passport and passport card -cuz why not?! before our upcoming trip. We were done and out the door before quarter after the hour of our scheduled appointment. Efficiently run. Polite and knowledgeable staff. Don't tell them I told you.

Despite the long and complete list of acceptable IDs given on travel.state.gov, this acceptance site arbitrarily would not accept my non-Arizona valid IDs (and yes, plural: I brought multiple valid IDs!). I spoke to the acting supervisor and two other clerks, all of whom who said it was State Department policy (which it is not). The policy is is clear on the State Department website, but the clerk would not let me file my passport application. I was forced to reschedule and process my passport at another acceptance site (a post office, where I had no such arbitrary and incomprehensible problem).

I have lived in Arizona, specifically the Phoenix area, for most of my life and have driven by Tovrea Castle thousands of times. It was so cool to be able to walk the grounds and get a peek inside. I would highly suggest entering the lottery, it's free and some people have better luck than I did and can get in sooner than 5 years. This was an insightful tour mixed with great storytelling and history. The basement with all the artifacts of the family and learning more about the area makes me proud to be a part of Arizona! Worth the visit!

    If you live in the Valley it's highly likely that you have driven by this place. From the 202 fwy…read moreyou can easily see it. I often wondered what is that building? Finally after passing it so many times I was curious enough to look it up. I googled "cake shaped building PHX" and it was the first result. "Tovrea (said tov-ree) Castle aka A jewel in the Sonoran desert" Since 2010 the City of Phoenix purchased, renovated, and opened it for tours. The very abbreviated story with this place is that some homesteaders from the early 1900s owned the land, sold 277 acres to a wealthy Italian man. Alessio Carraro had built a fortune in the sheet metal business in the 1920s from San Fran. He planned to build a hotel resort surrounded by a housing subdivision on 277 acres, Carraro Heights. The castle was built near the timing of when the Great Depression set in. Carraro wanted out, he sold the castle and some amount of acreage (for a fraction of his investment) to Della Tovrea, wife of cattle baron E.A. Tovrea. She lived there until her tragic death in 1969. Nearby is the Stockyard Restaurant, built by E.A.'s son so cattlemen had somewhere to eat near the stockyards. That restaurant still exists today. I plan to check it out. If you want more details and full story, go take the tour :) however tickets are not easy to come by. Tours sell out many months in advance and they started using a lottery system. I bought my tickets months ago. However worth a try to go. I wouldn't say its the most amazing thing I've ever seen and the use of the word "castle" is a stretch. I've been inside some real castles in US and Europe, however it's interesting and a fun thing to do and it satisfied my curiosity! :) Per their website- The Ticket Lottery for Fall 2022 Tickets has ended and all tickets have been distributed - look for last minute cancellation tickets. Ticket Lottery for Spring 2023 Regular Tours closed on October 15, 2022 and Winners will be notified via email starting November 1, 2022. https://tovreacastletours.com
