  I think this attraction may be reviewed as a few different tours, the one I am reviewing is the self-guided audio tour purchased at the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio. It is a fantastic tour with lots of Frank Lloyd Wright houses. It starts at the Home and Studio, and goes down Forest Avenue, which is lined with some Frank Lloyd Wright houses. The homes are awesome examples of his early architecture. Too bad they are all private residences and you cannot go inside. But the homes are still so neat to see and go great with an audio tour. I stopped at the end of the street to get something to eat in nearby downtown, and continued, so it took me more like 2 and 1/2 hours, it should only take an hour. I highly recommend doing this after the Home and Studio.

  I was pressed for time so I opted to see FLW houses just around his home/studio on Forest Ave and Chicago Ave. Having read one of the reviews here and thus maintaining a slight hope to see all of them in 1 hour I marked my map with 25 locations. Of course it took 1 hour to see just a few at a normal pace. One would need 2-3 hours to see all properties

  We bought the map and thoroughly enjoyed a fall day looking at FLW homes up close and personal. After reading about it in art school it is worth it to see them in person. Besides it's free!

  The concentration of Frank Lloyd Wright designed homes in central Oak Park is one of the largest in the world. The people who live in them treat them as museums, keeping them in great shape. Once in awhile, they open them for tours during "Wright Plus". We live in Oak Park, but every few years like to go back to see the Home and Studio where Frank lived with his familty while he was establishing himself in architecture, and some of the homes he designed, along with some other famous homes designed by others in the area. Well worth the time if you love to see exceptional homes.

  Take your time and don't miss anything. It is a great way to see the neighbourhood and to experience the greatness of this man.

  I reviewed this element of the visit in my main review of the FLW house visit. The first half of the walk is worthwile, depending how long you stand and view, ( and the weather) it can take about 30-40 minutes. I do not think the inclusion of the Temple as is, is particularly useful. The rest of the walk fills time.

  This hour plus walk is well worth the time. The guides are architects or people who have studied Frank and his architecture for years and are extremely knowledgeable. They will answer questions and all allow you to take picture. A great intellectual journey.

  The walk is fascinating. I loved the home tour too. The walk is definitely dependent on good weather!

  We really enjoyed walking along Forest Avenue and seeing so many gorgeous Frank Lloyd Wright homes. Even my teenage daughters enjoyed seeing such beautiful homes and didn't complain! This was definitely a highlight of our trip to the Chicago area for me!

  After visiting the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio in Oak Park, one of the guides was kind enough to offer us a little "extra" tour around the neighborhood to see a few of the FLW "bootleg" homes. These are homes in the same neighborhood that FLW designed as "secret commissions" while still working for a Chicago area architectural firm. When you see these homes it's not difficult to guess who designed them; something that FLW's boss eventually did, which led to FLW's firing!
