Budget 5 hours return trip from downtown Chicago including the train, walking to site, doing the neighbourhood ipod tour, and the home/studio tour inside and out. The ipod walking tour is pretty good, but its got to be awfully annoying to the neighbours. My recommendation would be to get the tour route and walk it without the headphones, save yourself... more

We took a tour of the home and studio. It was very interesting and the staff was friendly and informative. We have taken similar home tours in the past and believe this one was overpriced at $15 per person. I would suggest walking the neighborhood instead and viewing the homes in the area from the outside including this one. It... more

This is not only Wright's first real studio, but more or less where the Prairie Style was invented. It is really lovely and do take the walking tour of the surrounding area, which illustrates the transition from the Midwestern version of Queen Anne style architecture to Wright's revolutionary thinking. A must for any architecture buff, history buff or just anyone... more

My husband and I took a self-guided tour of the Wright homes in Oak Park.This is a good website to go to to get a map if you can't make the guided tours or get to the visitors center before they close http://www.oprf.com/flw/index-walk.html (we had quite a mad dash to get their by 5pm on a Sunday). The homes are... more

Took an afternoon off from a conference in Chicago to see the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio and Unity Temple. When you consider it was all designed at the turn of the last century, everything becomes more impressive--the furniture, the little added features in the home to the art glass. It is a thoroughly modern design today. A must... more

After enjoying the boat and bike tours in Chicago, I stopped in Oak Park on the way to Midway Airport to see the Frank Lloyde Wright studio and neigborhood walking tours. The neighborhood tour was self guided with an IPOD. It was great. This is worth the extra drive and make sure to give yourself at least 2 hours. I... more

A simple and yet not-so-simple Frank Lloyd Wright former home. What remains in my memory is the children's play room with high ceiling on the upper floor. You can almost see little kids playing in the corner as you stand in the room looking up at the high ceiling and beautiful side windows. Turn around and the guide tells you... more
