"Fantastic experience with my college class. You will want to make reservations well in advance. Limited hours and days (Tuesday, Thursday 10-1 and Sunday) Knowledgeable guides. The video at the start is a bit dated, but it shows the restoration in the mid 1980s and a bit longer than it needs to be. You can watch it at their website. The house is the star attraction. The whole experience is first class. Steelcase has done an out job here. Highly recommended."
"You MUST schedule your tour online and do it well in advance because the tours fill up FAST... SUPER FAST!!!! It's free so if this is something you really want to do you need to schedule your tour about a month in advance! Have fun!"
"The Meyer May House located in Grand Rapids, Michigan is an amazing example of Frank Loyd Wright's Prairie House designs. While visiting the Grand Rapids area, we took a chance to visit the house and ended up getting a private tour including an informational film about the house and its restoration. The house was originally built in 1908 and after The Meyer house was purchased by Steelcase in 1985 has since been masterfully restored to it's original condition including the structure, furniture, flooring, stained glass and even the table settings which were all designed by the master himself. An absolute must see for any FLW enthusiast. Be sure to call ahead for tour information."
"This was a very cool place to visit. The details that they went to to fix this place up are mind boggling. A truly beautiful home. We had a fantastic and knowledgeable guide to show us around. And most amazing of all, it's free to tour!"
"Wow wow WOW! This tour was awesome! Our docent was so knowledgeable! This wasn’t our first visits to a Frank Lloyd Wright home, and we loved this just as much as the rest. Book a reservation online in advance (it’s the only way to your), but admission is free! It starts with a 35min video about the history and restoration, then you tour the house in great detail. We didn’t feel rushed at all, and all of our questions were answered. Highly recommend this tour to locals and visitors! Also, restroom in the visitor center has a baby changing table! Always appreciated!"
