A Gem in Oak Park - The guide was engaging and clearly passionate about imparting what he’s learned. It was fascinating and such a privilege to stand in the very space where his profession and family took root. I highly recommend it as well as also taking a self-guided walking or driving tour to the nearby dozen sites that he designed.

Absolutely worth the time. - I have always wanted to visit a FLW house and it never panned out. I am so glad it did. This is an amazing place. I just can’t imagine what went on in his head. The details are amazing. There are so many details you would never notice in one visit. I highly recommend. It is well worth the time.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Own Home - We've visited several Frank Lloyd Wright homes ranging from Falling Water (Pennsylvania) and Darwin Martin and Graycliff (Buffalo) to Taliesen West (Scottsdale) to Usonian homes in northern Ohio. If you have any interest or curiosity in Frank Lloyd Wright or architecture, you definitely want to come here and to give yourself some additional time to see other nearby FLW structures. This is Frank Lloyd Wright's family home, which he designed and expanded. It was fun to see how he himself lived and to hear stories of him as a father. You'll want to book ahead online as a tour is required. The docents are excellent. The studio itself alone is worth the cost of admission. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to photograph (not because of any rules, but rather it's not configured in a way that gives you the kind of picture you might want). Just seeing it makes you want to work there. Having said that, several of the rooms of the house are quite appealing in their own right, with all kinds of clever touches. As noted above, there are several other Frank Lloyd homes just around the corner. While they are not open to the public, you can easily see the exteriors and it is an elegant neighborhood that is pleasant to walk around. There is a self-guided walking tour, but you can also find maps online. The Unity Temple, designed by Wright, is also a short drive away. This is a unique and uniquely American site that anyone with even a passing interest in Frank Lloyd Wright should see.

A wonderful day out in Oak Park - We were given a fascinating tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's house and studio by the incredible Irene. We enjoyed learning about this extraordinary man and there was an incredible atmosphere in the house which is beautifully restored. We also loved the audio walking tour of the other FLW houses in the neighbourhood.

Learned So Much - Our docent Carolyn was so knowledgeable and delightful. Have a new appreciation for Frank Lloyd Wright’s work. Wonderful experience!

An absolute MUST. - Wow. Just wow. Not only do you get an interesting, informative and huge amount of information by a lovely tour guide (we had ‘Paul’)… but visually this house was astonishing. Spent a small fortune on the shop (a wide variety of items to buy, not all were expensive) and the audio tour guide was worth doing too as you got to wander down adjoins streets seeing luscious buildings which are private residences. Worth the eight hour flight.

Beautiful architecture and engaging history - We took a fantastic tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s home and studio with Amy as our tour guide. She did an excellent job guiding us through the property, weaving history and information about the home in an engaging way. We’d highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting the Chicago area. Make sure you call ahead if you book through TripAdvisor since this only gives you a voucher and not a dedicated time slot for a tour!

I would strongly recommend anyone interested in architecture or Frank Lloyd Wright tour his home and studio. - Dan was the tour guide. Hey did an excellent job. He did answer a few of my questions. A very professional volunteer. Thankfully it was air conditioned on a hundred degree day.

Beginnings of Frank Lloyd Wright - For me, it was very cool to see the beginnings of Frank Lloyd Wright. My kids weren't as enthusiastic. Next time, I'd teach them in advance about the person. Our tour was quaint and interesting. I'm glad we did it!

Fascinating introduction to Frank Lloyd Wright - A fascinating tour of FLW's first home and studio, which really helped us to understand his early years in Chicago. Our only complaint is that the group was perhaps a little too large (15 people), meaning that the tour guide became rather too concerned about moving us on, and although photography is allowed, of course it is difficult for everyone to take the pictures they want as inevitably everyone wanted photos of the rooms without other people in them. The additional audio tour of the houses in the immediate neighbourhood was excellent.
