This UNESCO World Heritage site was first established in 1937 by iconic architect Frank Lloyd Wright and still delights visitors to this day. Situated at the base of the McDowell Mountains, this handcrafted wonder forges an intimate connection with the surrounding desert. It's constructed from large rocks bound with a sturdy mixture of cement and sand, with redwood beams, canvas roofing, terraces, walkways, pools, and gardens. Explore it all through an array of interesting experiences, such as a Sunsets & Sips Happy Hour Program or in-depth guided tours at dark.
