The House on the Rock in Wisconsin was a lot funner than I thought it would be. I happened to visit when there was hardly anyone there, so that helped greatly. There’s a huge room with a full size whale statue in the middle. And a suspended triangular room with a window on the floor overlooking treetops. Plus all sorts of other random stuff.
Came here to post this. Early in our relationship, my girlfriend “dragged” me into this place, promising I wouldn’t regret it. 3 hours later, we walked out in a daze. It is almost impossible to describe to anyone. Just talking about the things you see in there in no way does justice to the experience of being inside. You mention the whale… But neglect that said whale is fighting a giant octopus? And that all of this is surrounded by a 3 story ramp lined with hundreds of huge model ships? Or the giant carousel? Or the plinth room that juts from the front of the place high above the trees you can feel bouncing as you approach the end? Those are just a few of the highlights. There’s absolutely no way to understand what you’re walking into… It just needs to be experienced.

A work colleague was telling me about this place not too long ago. It sounds fun! And eclectic to say the least lol
I’m not really into guns but the gun collection they have there is cooler than any other gun collection in the world. One gun is a prosthetic leg.

One of my favorite memories. That place is so weird.
