Fallingwater was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1936. The most impressive feature of the house is that it is "built" over a waterfall.
A guided tour of Fallingwater will cost you $15/adult and $8/youth (6-8 yrs.) on the weekend. The cost is lower on weekdays, so go on a weekday if you can. Children must be at least six years of age to tour the house. Child care is provided for $2/hour for children under six.
Make a reservation if you plan on touring the house. Since our visit to Fallingwater was unplanned, we did not have reservations and were unable to tour the house. However, we were able to take a self-guided tour of the grounds for $6/person. The beautiful grounds proved to be just as impressive as the home itself. We were able to walk alongside the house and take pictures of the exterior.
A gift shop, cafe, and restrooms are available. Hours vary depending on the time of the year. Call 724-329-8501.
