The Wright 3 tour at Robie House

Perhaps the most famous character in best-selling author Blue Balliett's new book, The Wright 3, is Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House. As super-sleuths Calder, Petra and Tommy fight to save the landmark from demolition, eerie events are reported: voices float out from within, shadows shift behind the art glass and even the roof moves. Suddenly, the kids are drawn into a frightening search for ghosts, hidden treasure and a coded message left behind by Wright.

Now you can experience the mysterious spaces of the Robie House on The Wright 3 tour. This tour is suitable for children 6 and older.
