Come explore the exquisite historical gardens, pool pavilion, and mansion of Virginia and Harry Robinson, founders of Robinson’s department stores. Their home and gardens were the site of many legendary Hollywood parties, and the Robinsons hosted such luminaries as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Marlene Dietrich, and Fred Astaire. Their neighbors were Glenn Ford, Lillian Disney and Elvis Presley. The estate is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Admission is $14 (plus $2.00 credit card fee). A donation will be made to the Friends of Robinson Gardens as part of your tour fee.
Adults only, please.
