Ever since I was tiny and walking, my dad has taken me here from MI. This is my wonderland.🤍 I can never spend enough time here. I'm currently sitting here watching this, taking the 2020 Quarantine Tour 😂🤍 THANK YOU FOR FILMING AND POSTING!!
Absolutely! I am glad you can find joy in this video, and soon we will be able to travel again, so you can come back to WI and experience one of the most unique places in the world.
My dad took me here when i was 7, he always prided homself on family tradition as his late father had taken him and his brother when they were young boys and claims it to be his favorite place in the world, although i was too young to truly appreciate it, it was always in the back of my mind like a distant memory or dream i had that would have been confused with reality. I am now 20 years of age and I am lucky enough with the fortune of being about to take my dad for his birthday, still is as magical as i remeber all those years ago, thanks for posting this video to reanimate my memories!
I can imagine, especially as a child. Dang. I wonder what it would be like to play 'hide-and-seek'. It would have to be a massive group and set in teams. How much fun that would be!
I was there as an infant. We just went back 30 some odd years later. All I can say is WOW! We talked about what it would be like staying the night there. No thank you. Those creepy dolls probably come to life at night. LOL.
@@legaciesshelties For sure. So creepy. My daughter hates dolls. So naturally I had to mess with her a bit. She is 21 now, so she can handle it (I think). :)
My husband and I had never heard of The House On the Rock but was told to be sure to visit. We did and were overwhelmed by all the displays, etc. Recommended it to a co-worker and went with his wife. They were so thankful that we had told them to visit it.
Thank you so much Major Air for sharing this and allowing me to share, once again, one of the small parts of memories of my young life that helped to let me know that all dreamers, the likes of Alex Jordan, can create something so beautiful, wonderful, and everlasting. One man, thought to be a fool, made something so special from the dreams he had and constructed, is still as mesmerizing today as when it was when he first brought it into being. A very heartfelt "Thank you" for letting me know that his dream continues.
I haven’t been here in several years, but this is one of those places that really sticks with you forever afterwards. It’s like a theme park based on a dream journal and a trip to an antique store.
Alex Jordan used to wear paint splattered coveralls and would perform a lot of the maintenance tasks around The House. No one knew who he was and the employees who did know never let on. He loved just hearing the visitors comments about his creation.
For the life of me I could not remember where I got these random memories from that I wasn't sure were dreams or not...until I found this video. I went here when I was about 6
"Random" just about sums up this place. I have now been here 3 times in my life, and each time I feel like I need more time to get through it. And, it's not because I am older, thus slower. ;)
I discovered your UA-cam channel today 🙌, and love the sweet adoration, and easy-going relationship you have with your sister. Your ❤ shines bright in this video❣
For anyone who has not been to House on the Rock, it is well worth the visit. I went several times, when I lived in Madison. Keep one thing in mind though. Many of the rooms are rather dark and have a claustrophobic feel. If you have serious issues with claustrophobia, you might want to think carefully if this is a good place for you to visit. Also, there are a lot of stairs. If you take small children, watch them carefully.
Good call. Small children that can "run" fast could be challenging. I know what you mean about the small rooms. Luckily there are enough big rooms and open spaces that those with claustrophobia could still enjoy the majority of the experience.
ahh that out of tune banjo near the 25 minute mark was one of my favorite things about this place! watching this video brings back many good memories, thank you so much for posting it!
Absolutely! There were a couple of places/rooms that the sound was off, and I mean way off key. It was like my ears began to bleed. But as you said, that is part of the fun and enjoyment walking through this place. 🎵🎼🔊🎻
HOTR is one of my favorite places in the whole world. My wife and I make a trip there every October, enjoy the tour, see the fall colors, have dinner in Spring Green and then see the Dark Side tour and stay at the Resort for the night. A wonderful anniversary trip.
That is very cool sounding. My wife does not care for this place, which is a shame. So I go when I have relatives come to town. I am going to try to do an even better tour next time I go, which may be this coming summer. We will see.
My dad bill black actually did some work here and new the guy who built everything here and Actually helped build stuff. Very close with the wife. This place is awesome my dad has been here so many times and I still have to go yet!
Interesting fact about the carousel at The House on the Rock is that even though it is filled with all sorts of animals there is not one single horse on it. The closest it comes to having a horse on it is a unicorn. Alex Jordan was severely injured in his earlier years in which he had a car accident (he in the car) colliding with a horse-drawn wagon after dark. He had a rather lengthy hospital stay to recover.
Yo fui ha w tres años, soy de México y créanme que es mágico ese lugar, no paras de soprenderte en cada área que pasas, el carrusel fue lo mejor que pude ver en mi vida. Insisto, es mágico!!!
Wow that whale sculpture around the 51:00 mark is just incredible. No where near biologically accurate obviously but I REALLY want to visit this place. Thanks for posting this and putting all the effort into editing and such. Really appreciate it.
The whale is even bigger in person. It is crazy. I remember the first time I walked in to that room. My mouth dropped open when I looked up. You really should go. It is so unique. Thanks for the kind words btw.
I made it to the Organ Room (Inferno Room) before I broke. My husband was good until the Carousel. It's a lot of House and a lot of Stuff and I wish the American Gods crew had gotten to do more filming there because one single episode cannot do this place justice.
@@MajorAir Yes!! You'd look down into that square window, see the tips of the pine trees tens of thousands feet below then feel the room shudder in the wind. Chills!
@@SuperMinecrafter200They let you walk past the square window on the floor and go all the way to the tip? Interesting. Next time I go I will ask to do that.
Thanks for this video I remember going in 1999 with my sophomore math class. And I always tried to explain for years to others that haven't been. It's so unexplainable. Was really interested in taking my 17 yr old son this year 2020. But after watching this I think we'll choose something else. This is too intense lol fun awesome n creepy. Thanks for this video. I felt so apart of the tour that I don't even have to revisit. You made this video so fun.
Thanks. I was teaching math classes in 1999. :) I have been teaching since 1991. The words 'intense, fun, awesome, and creepy' pretty much sum it up for this strange house. It was a blast hanging out with my sister trying the different interactive devices. I am glad this video made you feel like you were there.
It's been a while! You need to go back. However, I went there again last week and am putting together an even longer tour video than this one. :) I am calling it "The Full Tour". :)
I was here a few times as a kid and now that I have kids I would love to take them to see it but they cut it up and you can no longer see it all as a whole without paying for each section from what I was told anyway and was just wondering what does it cost now to your it in its entirety because I'm trying to raise the money to do just that with my family and my Dad who is terminally ill and would like to see it one last time with my kids who have never seen it outside of videos like this one, which thank you for this, by the way, some people whom may not be able to leave their homes/hospital rooms would never get to see if it wasn't for videos like this
You just go. If you want a guided tour, call ahead. The best tour is one where you go at your own pace. Show up and they will let you know the options of what kind of self-guided tours they have and the costs. Check this out: www.thehouseontherock.com/
Sorry about that. I am thinking next time I go to take my sweet time with the filming and record a ton. However, the video length for UA-cam would then be around 4 hours. Not sure how many people would sit through that length.
@@MajorAir No need to be sorry. There's a lot to cover in that place. Everyone that makes a video about it shows something different that other people don't get to.
Be careful here......and don’t stay at The DonQ Inn!!!! It’s what is on top of The Doll Carousel 🎠!!!!! They think about the supposed Apocalypse too much there!!!!
@@MajorAir I have zero interest in having a non-semi vegetarian stubborn goat of a kid who stole land from the Algonquin and Choctaw and insists it’s all theirs while they force nine year old boys from South America to slaughter factory farm chicken.
I hear that from other people, and maybe the very expensive looking jewelry could be, but I believe most of everything is authentic. Plus replica or not, the amount and size of everything makes it worth billions I bet.
this place is like a dream or fantasy to me . i cant quite explain it . everything is so familiar in a sense and it's like ive been here 1000x .
deja vu
Yes exactly!!
Eyes 5 and the
wonder why it feels familiar after so many times /lh
Ever since I was tiny and walking, my dad has taken me here from MI. This is my wonderland.🤍 I can never spend enough time here.

Absolutely! Thanks for sharing that story. Very cool.
I spent the night here when I was a child. My father knew the owner and was doing some work and we got snowed in. That place is very creepy at night
I can imagine, especially as a child. Dang. I wonder what it would be like to play 'hide-and-seek'. It would have to be a massive group and set in teams. How much fun that would be!

It’s creepy in the day!!
I was here a few years ago , its like the best acid trip I never had. Loved it.
I was thinking that he (the owner) may have had a few chemicals in his system as he was creating this place. Or as they say, "He was eccentric". :)
My husband and I had never heard of The House On the Rock but was told to be sure to visit. We did and were overwhelmed by all the displays, etc. Recommended it to a co-worker and went with his wife. They were so thankful that we had told them to visit it.
A Magical place for the Whole Family to enjoy. Worth EVERY penny :)

I haven’t been here in several years, but this is one of those places that really sticks with you forever afterwards. It’s like a theme park based on a dream journal and a trip to an antique store.
I like the analogy. I would add "a little bit of crazy sprinkled throughout". :)
Alex Jordan used to wear paint splattered coveralls and would perform a lot of the maintenance tasks around The House. No one knew who he was and the employees who did know never let on.
He loved just hearing the visitors comments about his creation.

I cant believe I've never seen or heard of this attraction before, American gods brought me here.
Yes. This place is quite amazing in so many ways. You literally have to see it (in person) to believe it.
I heard the author had to tone down the house because of how weird it was.
I discovered your UA-cam channel today 🙌, and love the sweet adoration, and easy-going relationship you have with your sister.
Your ❤ shines bright in this video❣
Thanks for the kind words. Appreciated. My sister rocks!
For some reason this place unsettles me to the core, like it’s all from a fever dream
:0
I do understand where you are coming from. Maybe my mind is already at a place that this place just makes me happy. ;)

@Burley Pelletier It is GIGANTIC! You have to check it out if you get the chance.
@Burley Pelletier Awesome for you! Is that the first time you toured?
@Burley Pelletier Sweet! LMK when it is posted so I can check it out.
I like that the octopuses garden is playing the song “octopuses garden”!
How many times do you have to tickle an octopus to make it laugh? 10 tickles. :)

No problem. Glad you enjoyed it.
this whole place is a huge fever dream
Or how about a "fun nightmare"?
i had fun hang'n with you and peggy while watching this video . your a trip man XD
Thanks! That place is a trip. I try to go and experience it every other year or so, or when family or friends come in from out of town.
I remember going here as a kid. It was such an odd experience lol
"Odd" is definitely the right word for this place. Simple, 3 letters, and perfect.
getting to those huge red and gold music rooms near the end is an indescribable feeling
Literally. Try to explain some of those rooms to anyone who has not been. :)
time stamp?
My dad bill black actually did some work here and new the guy who built everything here and Actually helped build stuff. Very close with the wife. This place is awesome my dad has been here so many times and I still have to go yet!
You have to go. One time is all you need. You will understand. You will understand when you see it in person.

The closest it comes to having a horse on it is a unicorn.
Alex Jordan was severely injured in his earlier years in which he had a car accident (he in the car) colliding with a horse-drawn wagon after dark.
He had a rather lengthy hospital stay to recover.
That is a true and very interesting fact. Makes sense. Thanks for sharing.
This video was just hilarious. Thanks
Thanks. I had and have a lot of fun when I am there. It was cool hanging with my sister and of course messing with her as much as a brother should. :)
Yo fui ha w tres años, soy de México y créanme que es mágico ese lugar, no paras de soprenderte en cada área que pasas, el carrusel fue lo mejor que pude ver en mi vida. Insisto, es mágico!!!
Me alegro de que te hayas divertido. Ese lugar es tan asombroso. Voy allí cuando tengo la oportunidad. ¡Es bastante mágico seguro!

I live 30 minutes from this place and have never been. I think it’s time for a trip as soon as everything is back to 100%
Good call. You will enjoy it. The video does not do this place justice. It is weirder than you what you see here. :)
You had me to hit on like at « holly cow »
Reading is pronounced as past tense.
We're also the railroad on the Monopoly board.
Hello from Reading. Thanks for the tour!
May you elaborate please?
god i love this place.i will edit this later lol.
This place is a wall-to-wall hellscape. I love it.
Vertigo. Yay! :)
I made it to the Organ Room (Inferno Room) before I broke. My husband was good until the Carousel. It's a lot of House and a lot of Stuff and I wish the American Gods crew had gotten to do more filming there because one single episode cannot do this place justice.
Pro tip, don't bring your mother if she takes alot of pictures. We spent 5 hours getting through the thing and she took over 8000 pictures.
WOW! That is a lot of pictures! I hope your mom enjoyed it though.
I remember when I was a kid, they'd let you all the way out to the very tip of the Infinity Room.
Yes, I remember that too. Actually it was not long ago that you could. It was fun and thrilling at the same time. The room would shake a bit.
@@MajorAir Yes!! You'd look down into that square window, see the tips of the pine trees tens of thousands feet below then feel the room shudder in the wind. Chills!
Nicole Tovar I was there about last year and they let you
@@nikolatovar9884 Loved it! I am totally afraid of flying, but not afraid of heights. Just afraid of falling from them.
@@SuperMinecrafter200They let you walk past the square window on the floor and go all the way to the tip? Interesting. Next time I go I will ask to do that.
wooow awesome
This house on the rock is a beautiful place ppl
Beautiful has many meanings for this house. Unique is more like it.
I recently went here and when I was in the house I freaked out since my claustrophobia kicked in.
Sorry to hear that. Some rooms are huge, but some rooms certainly could cause that feeling.
i giggled at the holy cow joke 💀
:)
59:07 Raindrops keep falling on my head!
To describe thisnplace is considering this as a human's mind
A human that has some issues. lol
@@MajorAir Not really. It's random, but not to entirely screwed up. Our mind is surprisingly random.
@@cosmobane6995 exactly, random but organized, constantly growing and changing (although not as much nowadays)
This has some Winchester Mystery House vibes.
A bit for sure. Have you been to the Winchester house in California?
I've got all things that are good, see this? This is good.

I went there and it took 2 days to go through.It was really fun tho
Spending time to see and read through everything in this House would take days for sure. There is SO much stuff. It is awesome!
“I like trains” 😂😂
I do. Actually I am heading out on a train tomorrow morning. YAY! 🚄
Wish I was there
I want to go
Then go. My mom, sister, and myself are going again in about a week. I will make a new video, and see if I can get better shots of different things.

I went there this summer and it costed 30 dollars per person to see all the exhibits
@@History507 I know it seems expensive, but if you can make a day of it, $30 is ok. There is sooo much to see.
@@MajorAir It was well worth the money
@@History507 Glad to hear. How long would you say you toured?
i went here when i was little so it feels like a huge fever dream, i had nightmares about the moby dick room for years though
Sorry about that. I think if you visit it again, you will be able to conquer your (nightmare) dream and enjoy this for what it is.
how to book a tour to that house on the rock?

I’m pretty sure that most of the things here are replica’s
I hear that from other people, and maybe the very expensive looking jewelry could be, but I believe most of everything is authentic. Plus replica or not, the amount and size of everything makes it worth billions I bet.
NOT the world's largest carousel. It is in Disney World and called the Carousel of Progress.
Largest indoor carousel?
I believe this is, indeed, the largest carousel with animals on it.
The Carousel of the Parade of Progress is a carousel but it doesn't have animals.
