Taliesin WestAugust 16, 2012This 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.
jon accarrinoJuly 29, 2017Wright'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 RidenourApril 17, 2018Whether 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.
eric bornemannDecember 27, 2017One of the coolest things to do in Phoenix- amazing history, architecture and views.
Bindia MathewDecember 1, 2018Take 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-AwesomeDecember 23, 2021Go for the guided tour (as opposed to the self-guided one) you will learn so much!
Anthony DuranNovember 14, 2017Absolutely 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.

To see the grounds and buildings here you must join a tour. Do it! The tours are very interesting & the guides are a lot of fun!- To see the grounds and different buildings you must join a tour. The tours are very good and the guides are very much fun!
Gabe OrvisMarch 29, 2012All entrances constrict you before a release in the room welcoming you to the space. Embrace and Release.
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 BlackApril 9, 2014Rather than removing the ridiculous $2.50 surcharge for online ticket purchases, they ADD an additional $1.50 per ticket when paying in person!
ophiesayDecember 31, 2011Lori the tour guide is a wealth of information but very surly. Very patient. God forbid you ask a question.
Brian MackeyApril 30, 2010Choose the 90-minute "Insights" tour. The tall guide (I think named Jason) did a great job — he's an alumnus of the Taliesen Fellowship.
- Taliesin WestSeptember 10, 2012Exciting FLLWFoundation News:
Definitely do the 90 minute tour - so much more to see than in the 60 minute tour
