The House on the Rock, Spring Green

This is such a unique place to visit, both the home and the other buildings. The original house is full of interesting architecture and a mix of interior design elements I haven't seen combined like this anywhere else. The other sections host a variety of collections, giant automated musical performance displays, whimsical scenery, and a lot of near-magical surprises. Like my personal favorite since I was little, the indoor carousel. If you want to see all three sections arrive at least 3 hours before closing time.

Great place to check out with lots of unique items and things all collected and put in one location for everyone to see. Highlights of the trip would probably include the whale, the carousel, the infinity room,(provided you don't mind heights) the Japanese garden, as well as other rooms with many treasures to be seen, and it is even worth your while to check out the bathrooms on your way though as some have hidden treasures as well that are easily missed. Only bad thing is a very large museum and requires a lot of walking, so plan on almost a full day on your feet if you want to see it all!

I don’t know where to start…fortunately you will because there’s plenty of signage! Amazing place, a must see when in the area. By far the most interesting attraction in Wisconsin! Just be sure to give yourself at least 6 hours to see and enjoy. There are a few cafe areas, one was open, which is nice since we were 3 hours in and only halfway through. Definitely take your time, soak it all in!

The house on the rock is an incredible, overwhelming jumble of fascinations. The artist's hand shows in the collection, the eclectic juxtaposition, and the worldview displayed. As an artistic installation and collection this is a joyful explosion. That said, I think it needs to be given more context for the modern audience. The welcome center would do well to give a critical eye to the methods of the artists and the appropriation of culture that is rampant throughout. This place is now a time capsule of worldviews from between 70 and 30 years ago. Some of which is presented in a way that suggests an educational worth. This is not a museum of history. It is an artistic installation of fascinations that are now a part of the history of the work. That is a nuance which visitors should be prepared to appreciate as a part of the presentation.

Amazing experience to learn about the creator and original owner. It's even more jaw dropping to see what he has amassed over the years. He collects items from multiple different cultures and across all sorts of time periods. There are tokens you can purchase and use to interact with various parts of the house. I recommend purchasing tickets for all parts of the house and allocating at least 4-5 hours if you want to see everything reasonably / not rushed.
