The Philip Johnson Glass House is essentially at a secret location on Thomas Ridge Road. The tours shuttle you up from The Glass House pick up on Elm Street.

This is an extraordinary excursion for any lover of minimalist architecture, being surrounded by the beauty of nature, and design that is so aligned with function it is hard to believe possible. Philip Johnson really did create one of the wonders of the universe in this, his beloved, home. Our docent Marylou was clearly an enthusiastic admirer and she had a depth of knowledge that deepened our experience greatly.
The very next morning I found myself moving around furniture and paring down decorative touches in my home. Nice influence this man continues to make.

We bought our timed tickets online, ($45 for 2 seniors) and drove directly to the site. Fortunately we were permitted to enter early showing our receipt at the 1995 "Da Monsta" entry building with no right angles. After inspecting the huge entry gate with its counterweighted white ship’s mast, we walked the curving lane down to the 1949 home with its 1954 pool. We knew about this architectural masterpiece but did not know of the other functional and contrasting structures; the 1949 988 sq. ft. Brick Guest House, the 1965 3778 sq. ft. underground Painting Gallery, the 1970 3650 sq. ft. Sculpture Gallery with a skylight roof and his 1980 384 sq. ft. Library. Plantings of white pines, rows of maple trees and a sculptured pond accent this previous 49 acre former dairy farm with its stacked stone walls intact. Excellent docents compliment the educational visit.
We then drove 2 miles into New Canaan to visit the Johnson Design Store with its wall of photos and videos of the overall project.

This fantastic architectural beauty by architect Philip Johnson is absolutely worth a visit, especially on a sunny day when you can admire how the sun filters through the glass. You need to buy tickets in advance and can only walk around outside (they're not letting anyone inside the House yet due to COVID-19 restrictions), but with 49 acres, there's still plenty to see, including outdoor sculptures and other buildings, ponds, and nature's floral beauty. It's a serene, creative way to spend a day. Definitely bring good walking shoes, as the ground isn't always flat. Staff were very helpful about how to best enjoy the property.

A gorgeous site, eslecially on a sunny Sping day. Excellent docents. Fascinating architecture..and the Glass House is a wonder. Only outdoor access right now due to Covid..but worth a 2nd trip when the pandemic is behind us!

With C19 visitors are limited to the grounds but the upside is that you can freely roam the 49 acres. The property is filled with ups and downs, texture contrasts, beautiful trees and interesting sight lines. Not being able to go inside the house was somewhat disappointing but given that all walls are glass it's almost like being inside. Guides are positioned around the property to give directions and answer questions. Terri was very knowledgeable and helpful.A great way to spend an hour.

You have to book these tickets far in advance, but they are a great gift for someone in your life who loves architecture and design. Give yourself plenty of time to see not just the glass house but all the other buildings (including one designed be Gehry), sculpture and art. As long as the weather is good you will have a great time. Bring bug/tick spray and maybe sunscreen as you will be outside most of the time.

The group tour in Philip Johnson country side mansion requires advance booking and planning but it well worth the trip from NYC.
Nice architecture and nature with very interesting biography

Fascinating architectural experience. Several structures of interest in addition to the famous Glass House. The surrounding natural environment is over whelming. You will see a house made entirely of glass and another of brick and a third with no right angles. Amazing.

When I questioned the tour guide about Johnson political views (of which I had only heard a vague rumor) she responded defensively saying that if i asked that question, I must have already made up my mind about him.
she went on to mention that his Nazi sympathies were really concerning the Nazi's quest for human equality... (umm what?)
After concluding the tour I did read the Wikipedia entry about his work for the Nazi government, and his attempt to start a fascist political party in the US, and found it very strange that this part of his history was left completely unmentioned.
Visitors might want to check the facts concerning Johnson's views for themselves, and seemed disappointing that the trusts attempted to white-wash it, and especially the tour guide's response and dubious explanation. beautiful house and sculpture garden though, but Johnson might be, in many peoples opinions, undoubtedly #cancelled.
