      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.

    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.

Matter of fact, I was just there yesterday with friends visiting from Maryland. Nice video, dude! ❤

    I first went to The House on the Rock when I was 12 and I loved it so much. When my partner and I went on our 1 year anniversary road trip last September I made sure this was one of our stops. This is such a great video and there is so much in this place that it's impossible to capture, this barely scratches the surface. On our trip I made sure I bought the biography of Alex Jordan, which was written by one of the men who worked with him in building the attraction. It's called "Never Enough" and I HIGHLY recommend reading it because it just gives even more insight into the creation of The House and Jordan's dreams for it. Love this video so much, and I'm so glad to see you enjoy this attraction as much as I do, Adam

    Whatever they’re charging to get in that place it’s not enough! The pullback on the doll head was epic with your sister snickering. Thanks Woo!

    Oh my I have never been more fascinated in my life. Thank you for doing this video. I have never actually stopped and started so much during a video all the time I have been watching videos. I was just amazed. All I can say this was AMAZING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS.

    I have at least 5 generations ( that I had met) of Madison, Wisconsin residents and have never been to the house on the rock. Thank you for sharing - great blog full of information and now I never have to go.
