      I visited years ago, but there were tons of people when I went. It was a bit creepy in your visit since you seemed to be the only ones in there. I have never seen so many things in one day. Your mind gets blown over and over. You said it right, it feels like a fever dream. It’s in Spring Green WI, wear comfortable shoes and allow an entire day to see it if not 2 days. Even with a video you can’t convey what this place is really like. It is an amazing experience.

    I've been to The House on the Rock multiple times as a kid. I finally went back as an adult a year or two ago and I realized this guy had to have gone batshit crazy at some point. That organ room is the creation of a madman. It's fun to take people there, there's nothing else like it.

      It was better maintained when Mr. JORDAN was alive. He knew how to do the upkeep on all of the automated orchestra rooms, many of which no longer work. Just dusting would take a crew of people, let alone the rest of the cleaning and maintenance.

    May 4, 2024 - Hi there! Just caught your video of this place. Whenever friends visit from out of state, the House On The Rock is one of the attractions that is not to be missed. As a native of Wisconsin, we still visit there time after time, because there's always MORE to see than one visit will accomplish. Matter of fact, I was just there yesterday with friends visiting from Maryland. Nice video, dude! ❤

      Preferably before they move it to that God awful looking new building. and you are indeed correct, they plan on doing away with it. It's like the old streets version of House on the Rock.

    You went on an exceptionally quiet day, which is good because it can get really crowded in the summer. We live in Wisconsin and have been here many times; I made my own video of it about five years ago. I started laughing when you were spending so much time in the Streets of America section (the little main street) because you had no idea how much more there was to come! Your comments, such as "fever dream" and "I feel like we've left this earth" are spot on. This place is trippy! And I feel like everybody reaches that state of delirium like you did eventually. We've ranged from starting to run through the attraction just to get out to laughing hysterically because it just goes on and on and on to my kids telling me that it gives them nightmares. There is really no way to describe it to people.

    Adam my family is from Wisconsin and I can remember visiting from California back in the 80’s and my parents took us to this insanely magical place. I was a young teenager at the time and I can honestly say it was the greatest roadside attraction I have ever visited. Thank you for bringing back such fond memories. You need to visit Wisconsin Dells my friend. As a youngster I can remember it being similar to modern day Pigeon Forge . Very touristy with alot of quirkygoodness.
