This National Historic landmark is evolving into an energy neutral site—producing as much energy as it consumes—while maintaining historical/architectural integrity. Visit franklloydwright.org.

Wright's snowbird home, Taliesin West (1937), helped define Arizona architecture . It was built almost entirely by Wright and his apprentices, making it among the most personal of his many creations.

Janet Ridenour

Whether you are a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright or not, this is a fantastic place to visit. As a "fan" I was in seventh heaven walking the grounds and buildings and listening to every word of our guide.

One of the coolest things to do in Phoenix- amazing history, architecture and views .

Bindia Mathew

Take the 90-minute tour ! Our guide was knowledgeable and made the experience so worthwhile. We became even more curious about the life of Frank Lloyd Wright afterward.

Jade Bailey-Awesome

Go for the guided tour (as opposed to the self-guided one) you will learn so much!

Anthony Duran

Absolutely love this place, although FLW wasn't an AZ native, he is welcomed as one with his contributions. The sunset tours are perfect for a dating experience.

Donna Johnson

You have to sign up for a tour , but the tours were long and you can take lots of photos.

Well worth the price of admission. Our tour guide John really knew his stuff and was quite entertaining.

Tonnina Daley

It is spectacular! Do the 90 minute tour , it's awesome!!!

Gabe Orvis

All entrances constrict you before a release in the room welcoming you to the space. Embrace and Release.

Dana

Awesome tour...especially on Mondays at 11:30am. It's hot right now, but you go in and out of a/c rooms, so it's very bearable and smaller crowds.

Carl Black

Rather than removing the ridiculous $2.50 surcharge for online ticket purchases, they ADD an additional $1.50 per ticket when paying in person!

Jennifer

90 min tour is great

Tejash Patel

The tour is very informative

ophiesay

Lori the tour guide is a wealth of information but very surly. Very patient. God forbid you ask a question.

Brian Mackey

Choose the 90-minute "Insights" tour . The tall guide (I think named Jason) did a great job — he's an alumnus of the Taliesen Fellowship.

Edward Gorman

The view is the best
