Wright Plus Housewalk

This was the reason for our visit to Oak Park. The Ultimate Wright Plus Weekend is a great experience. Buy a Fast Pass and go to the head of every line.

This isn't a super long tour, but you get a good glimpse of some awesome architecture and some interesting info on the homes and families. You buy tickets and get your listening device at the Frank Lloyd Wright Studio, so I recommend ending your tour...More

Nice walk through the neighborhood

After enjoying brunch at Hemmingway's Bistro, we had a great walk through the neighborhood, stopping at this location. Unfortunately, it was closed, but we were able to observe it from outside. Very charming

Amazing collection of FLW designed homes
