text: I have to say that we love looking at architecture design, so having learned about Taliesin West, we knew we had to check this place out while we were in the vicinity. Soooo glad we did, because this place is amazing! I could try and tell you about it, but like most architecture, you have to SEE it to understand and/or appreciate it. \n\nI can tell you that my favorite part of this place is the Sculpture Garden...so many amazing forms and figures upon which to gaze. Truly beautiful stuff!\n\nI have to admit that we lucked out, because as many folks have already pointed out, there is a fee to take the tour. However, because Hubby's uncle is a catering manager, he's overseen many catering events that have been held at Taliesin West. Because of that, our group of four was allowed in for free to follow him around pretty much every nook and cranny of the grounds. It was all very informational and educational and enthralling.\n\nThumbs up to the staff, who were all very nice and courteous and had no problem letting us go into areas that the tours did not visit...altogether, a great experience! :)
