7. Taliesin

SPRING GREEN.   Tangible evidence of Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural genius, this 600-acre complex of structures and landscapes demonstrates Wright's interests in Asian design and organic architecture. In fact, "Taliesin," a nod to Wright's Welsh heritage, means "shining brow" and refers to his belief that homes should be built not on the peak of a hill but just below, so they appear to have arisen naturally from the landscape rather than crown it. Various tours focus on Taliesin's grounds, the hillside studio and theater, the house and its furnishings, and the estate in general (which incorporates facets of the other tours). Reservations are recommended, and children under 12 are not permitted in interior spaces.   (© 10Best)

We found Taliesin to be unique. If you like the House portion of House on the Rock you will enjoy this home as well. The tour guides have a lot of interesting information about Frank Lloyd Wright and his architectural philosophy, so if you are interested in architecture I'd give this a 5. Probably not a great tour for young children but older kids may find it interesting as well.
