Discovery Days FAQ

Do I need to reserve an entry time?

Yes, due to a limited capacity, all attendees are required to reserve a spot for every member of their party attending Discovery Days.

Can I bring food and beverages from home?

We always welcome guests to bring water from home. However, we ask that you do not bring any other outside food or beverage with you. Food and drink will be available for purchase! We also have several water fountains around Taliesin West but do not sell bottled water in order to help reduce the impact of single-use plastic bottles.

I’m a member, do I still have to sign up?

Yes, due to a limited capacity, we strongly encourage all attendees to reserve a spot for every person in their party attending Discovery Days. If you are a member, please be sure to sign in to your member account before signing up, so you can be properly acknowledged.

Can I bring a purse?

Small purses and backpacks (18” x 18”) are permitted. To protect our fragile property and delicate Collections, we ask that you do not bring any larger bags, suitcases, purses, or backpacks with you. Taliesin West does not have bag storage on site.

What happens if I can’t make my original entry time?

Things happen! If you know in advance that you cannot attend your original entry time, we ask that you contact our team by emailing Programs@FrankLloydWright.org to reschedule your entry time. If you arrive earlier or later than your planned time, we will permit entrance pending availability.

Do you have parking?

Yes, we have limited parking on the property. We also have rideshare drop-off areas available, should you prefer to take a rideshare. We have limited bike parking, and ask that guests do not walk to Taliesin West. Our roads are not pedestrian permitted.

How early can I arrive at Discovery Days?

Discovery Days runs from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. on the scheduled program date. We will open the gate to allow guests with a 10:00 a.m. entry time to begin parking at 9:30 a.m. Please do not arrive before 9:30 a.m., as you will not be able to enter the property.

I am in need of special assistance. Can I still attend Discovery Days?

There are several ways Taliesin West can accommodate your visit. Please see our accessibility information for details. Discovery Days will feature live music, crowded indoor and outdoor spaces, as well as indoor and outdoor activities with changes throughout the site in elevation and terrain.

As a National Historic Site built in the early 20th century, Taliesin West was not designed to meet contemporary accessibility standards, however, we have made improvements to the design and functionality of our site in order to meet the needs of our guests. If you have specific questions or requests regarding accessibility, please contact Programs@FrankLloydWright.org.
