Somewhat. They had ramps. There are areas that a person in a wheelchair could view. A wheel chair bound person could view all of the outside of the home and portions of the inside, but there are a few steps inside and Frank Loyd Write used a “compression and release” design in this building meaning the entrance to a new room got narrow and the ceiling gets low then it opens into a big room. It might be hard to navigate a wheelchair in parts of the inside of the home. If the person can walk a few steps around corners then I would say yes. If the individual is completely confined to a wheel chair I would still go because they will enjoy what they can see:))
Q:
can you cancel and recieve refund if trip is impossible
A:

Q:
How much are the tours?
A:
Check online. I think we would have preferred a guided tour, rather than the audio one that we had to take.
