AMAZING!!! A must see FLW site. The office building the tower, the furniture, just unbelievable. Great family history of the company as well as a newer building almost as visionary with more history, information and artifacts. Don t forget to visit other nearby FLW sites including wingspread the Johnson home.
Wonderful tour! The tour guide was so knowledgeable and it was a great way to spend a hour or so learning about an iconic american company while viewing great design. I am a huge fan of Frank Lloyd Wright but I brought people who were not. We all found the tour interesting very much worth the ticket price.
Very poor signage. So we're too glean from some of the reviews that this is a business of some sort..but its moreso obvious from the reviews that people almost entirely go here for the flw cache. After some passage with basically no signage (except for what seemed like more of a mundane village hall or h.s. 8bit digi sign) i eventually found a little parking lot outside of what looked like maybe a gated factory or service center of some sort. Had to inspect by foot to see what was what...(which seemed to needlessly arouse two shadowy guards inside a border patrol). There were two circular bldngs...one in and one out of the compound..one tall and windowy and one small and brickish. Not sure if its worth going back since the preliminary was questionable.
Cool building but you need to take a tour to see it
Another amazing FLWright building. SC Johnson did a fantastic job keeping these buildings very close to all original. A bonus is the tours are complementary. The only small draw back is no indoor photos. SC Johnson can t be thanked enough for making these buildings public with a great tour.
The tours were fabulous! Our guide Elena was knowledgeable, articulate and warm. She presented herself charmingly and absolutely professionally. At the start of the tour before we headed inside the research tower, we had sleet and strong wind. Elena kept her composure, raised her voice and told the stories clearly - in and through the treacherous weather. Impressive! We had extended family with us from overseas. All of us felt we learned a lot, and had a most pleasant visit. Thank you for the wonderful experience!!
A another great showcase for Frank Lloyd Wright. The unique buildings have stood the test of time.
This is a strange FLW design--that differs so much from his long, straight, linear design. Worth to see--on top of which, it's free!!
Got hold of the company about faulty air fresheners. Never heard back
Off the radar
First class headquarters designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. A 5th generation family business. Do tours regularly
If you like Frank Lloyd Wright, go out of your way, take the time, and take this tour. It is so informative and it's the only way you can see the iconic headquarters office. Additionally, you get to tour the lab and the headquarters museum. It brings to life so many Wright features that can't experience just from photographs. It is worth the effort and highly recommended.
I don't know anything about the facilities, but I want to do a product review. I bought some Drano Max Gel and used it on a tough garbage disposal clog and it worked with excellent results. I highly recommend it for anyone facing a tough clog.
Nice place to see some local history. Like the rotunda building.
It is a very remarkable place with great features and quality.
Fabulous Frank Lloyd Wright designed research tower and headquarters building, plus the beautiful Fortaleza Hall designed by Lord Norman Foster. If you enjoy architecture or historic building, schedule a free tour and go see this wonderful treasure. As a huge fan of Frank Lloyd Wright, I have visited several times. Thanks to S.C. Johnson for opening up their buildings so the public can be educated and appreciate them.
The tour is great, especially for architecture nerds. Kudos to the Johnson company for making these tours complimentary.
Amazing. One of the best buildings ever. The tower is a MUST
Wright's most brilliant independent work explores a perfect interior guided by structure. Everywhere is crystal clear, round and smooth, without fail. The research tower is basically useless. Foster's additions are low profile.
Important item to know: No internal photography allowed on any of the tours. Several signs stating it so I don t think the policy is going to change anytime soon.
Tip: Do try to sit in the chairs in the gathering room for the tour! You can sit in original FLW office chairs which you can t do on the tour.
The tour is pretty great! Totally recommend it! Amazing that the tower and so many parts of the main building are wrapped in glass tubes.
I am a FLW fan, so when in Racine, I had to visit the SC Johnson Headquarters. My husband and I took the tour, and we saw the Research Tower, Administration Building, and Fortaleza Hall. It was a cool day, but it was nice enough to be outside. Overall it was great to see FLW's work in a corporate setting. The tour guides were very knowledgeable. I would have liked to see the gift shop in the visitors center rather than the Hall so we were not as rushed, but that is my only complaint.
