  • I do and I don't recommend this place. I would have loved to tour Frank Lloyd Wright's desert camp but I was satisfied to see the outside and check out the gift shop and the book store. For my husband, myself, and my 16 year old son to go through on a one hour tour would have been $54 which is not even recommended, they really push the 90 minute tour which would have been $65. It certainly did not stop alot of other people from doing it but that is a bit out of my price range. We went through the Frank Lloyd Wright museum in Oak Park IL some years ago and it did not cost much at all. Anyway, I have seen tours of this place on TV and it is great so if you can afford it I recommend it.
    2007 update, on a recent trip to Arizona we decided this time we would take the tour. My husband, myself, and my student son took a 90 minute tour for $59. It was incredible, very informative, and entertaining. The tour takes you through parts of the house, around the grounds, through the auditorium, and into the caberet. You are not allowed into the studios.

     I agree about Roy's Restaurant 100%! I also agree about the price being out of line at the Frank Lloyd Wright. Love your honest yet descriptive style.

     We sat at that fountain for AGES and it never went off, ah well. We enjoyed our FLW visit quite a bit, though I do agree the longer tour is quite expensive(we skipped that one too) Nice little page:)
