About
Although filmed in Hollywood and set in Kansas, The Wizard of Oz has Chicago connections. In this virtual walking tour with Kelli, you’ll wander (via HD video) through a Chicago park that pays tribute to the Tin Man, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, Dorothy, and Toto. Then, you’ll follow Chicago’s yellow brick road to the spot where author L. Frank Baum penned his children’s book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Finally, you’ll meander through a lovely cemetery in Bloomington, Illinois, for more Oz stories.
