I had visited Oak Park before and just missed being able to take the house tour. It was a special weekend and there were lots of people wanting to see the Home and Studio but we didn't have to wait long as they were very organised. Instead of one guide showing us around, we had a different guide in each...

Owner description:
The Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio served as Wright's private residence and workplace from 1889 to 1909--the first 20 years of his career. Here Wright developed a new American architecture: the Prairie style. Filled with original furnishings, the Home and Studio demonstrates Wright's passion for controlling all aspects of his structures, including interior design and decorative arts. Enjoy guided tours of the museum complex and neighboring historic district seven days a week. Tour details are available on the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust website.

Terrific tour guide who was a wealth of information about Wright and the home and studio. Took the tour as part of larger tour of the neighborhood. Really loved it!

To go with reading "Loving Frank" by Nancy Horan, my Book Club decided to travel to Chicago and visit the place where the book was Set. The FLW Home and Studio offers a Book Club tour which allowed us to have some private time in the house with our guide and a chance to talk not only architecutre but also...

This is an incredible museum to visit if you are a Frank Lloyd Wright's admirer. It's where Wright had his first studio and where he raised his children. Many of the homes he designed are within a one mile radius so be sure to spend the extra $7 for a house tour that takes about an hour. The homes are...

I love architecture, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to visit the FLW home and studio while I was in the Chicago area. I'm so glad I made the time to do the tour. Not only did we get a history and background on FLW and his architectural style and how it was shaped through the years, but we...

Took the trek to Oak Park and what a wonderful experience it was. Our docent was knowledgable and enlightened our tour. I know a good deal about architecture and FLW but learned so much about him, his family, the home and studio. It was a beautiful spring day so we enjoyed the walking tour though it got a little long...

This is a popular tour, especially on weekends, so make sure to buy tickets in advance. The luxury of being able to take photos inside is an additional fee, so know that before going inside. We opted not to, but there is plenty to take pictures of so learn from our mistakes.
This home is truly incredible, and is fascinating...

Having driven all the way out in traffic, I was hoping for a little more, unfortunately I think the tour guide wasn't the greatest. Nothing special just memorised text.
House is inserting but it's great if you know a little about it before going to see it! There is a walking audio tour as well you can walk around the...

My husband and I took the red line to Oak Ridge and fell in love with the small little town. We really enjoyed the Wright home and the docent providing the tour really made it great. AMAZING home and I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is a Wright fan. Seeing his home is just an amazing experience. It's...
