Get an up-close look at the Eameses’ celebration of life, art, and work as captured by their perfect arrangements of objects collected through their lives, all still set carefully in place. Feel how the house satisfied the Eameses’ original design mandate: to “…aid as background for life in work”.

The private interior tour walks visitors through the ground level of the Eames House. We allow a maximum of four guests inside at a time. The guided tour is roughly 90 minutes long and packed with information on the history of the site, as well as on Charles and Ray.

  • Reservations are required.
  • $500 ($450 members) for 1-4 adults.
  • Children 15 and under are not permitted inside the residence.
  • All visitors must agree to abide by our Covid-19 Safety Protocols.

Hours: Appointments are available at 10:30 am and 2:30 pm. We recommend booking your appointment at least one month in advance in order to avoid disappointment.
