The House on the Rock · · PAGE 14.

July 23, 2019:  Here is the entrance to House on the Rocks from Wisconsin route 23.

This aerial view from Google Earth shows the entire grounds for the House on the Rock facilities.

This closer aerial image shows the MAZE of buildings that comprise The House on the Rock tour.  That long white building is called the Infinity Room, an optical illusion as seen from the entrance at the south end of the room. The large number of trees on the property help to camouflage a number of the buildings that are connected together in the MAZE.  There is only one location where you can access the outside for a view from the highest point on the tour.

This Google Earth view shows the natural contour of the land upon which all these buildings stand.  The imagery as seen from this angle does not display in 3D as the images follow the contour of the land.

There is a large planter out in front of the main entrance to The House On The Rock.

Linda captured this photo of two UNICORNS pulling a two-wheeled cart on the giant carousel.  This is not a ride you can get ON or OFF as in a carnival.  It is a fantasy that is motorized and covered in lights along with the unusual characters not common to ordinary carousels.  The UNICORNS are not normal horses.  One of the videos linked from below has an employee describing this carousel including the number of animals on it and "not one of them is a horse" was part of her conversation during the interview.

Twin bare-chested MERMAIDS are in the procession of the big carousel.

A second photo of the unicorns pulling the cart shows more details with a frog riding a bull dog leading the way on this part of the large carousel.  That is my left arm and white shirt sleeve seen at the right side of this image taken by Linda.

At the end of the three tours, the exit back to the parking lot is through the gift shop.  We bought a souvenir book which I am reading as I create this web page.

There is so much to say about this place, it would be best if  you read all about it via Wikipedia:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_on_the_Rock  This is a long read with many details about this tourist attraction.

If your would rather get your information via You Tube, here are a few videos to watch:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_SR8nI6TZE

Here is another tour that runs for 1 hour 17 minutes:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8OdsOjkoIY 

And like anything on You Tube, there is always more stuff to see.  We arrived here at 11:00 AM Eastern Time and departed at 3:52 PM.  We did have lunch while we were in between the second and third parts of the tour.
