  • The House on the Rock is a tourist attraction opened in 1959. It is a complex of architecturally distinct rooms, streets, gardens, and shops designed by Alex Jordan Jr. The "house" itself is atop Deer Shelter Rock, a column of rock approximately 60 feet (18 m), 70 feet (21 m) by 200 feet (61 m) on the top, which stands in a forest nearby.
    The complex now features "The Streets of Yesterday", a re-creation of an early twentieth century American town; "The Heritage of the Sea", featuring nautical exhibits and a 200-foot model (61 m) of a fanciful sperm whale-like sea creature; "The Music of Yesterday", a huge collection of automatic music machines; and what the management bills as "the world's largest indoor carousel", among other attractions. The carousel at the House on the Rock features 269 carousel animals, 182 chandeliers, over 20,000 lights, and hundreds of mannequin angels hanging from the ceiling. The carousel has no horses.

    Lived 1/2 hour drive from there nearly all my life, and still haven't been to it. I'll be a good place to take my kids I'm sure!

    I went there as a kid with my parents. I only remember the living spaces which were fabulous by the way! How could I not remember the museum part? It seems like it would have been a standout experience for my young self.I wonder if my parents skipped that part.

      There are 2 different ticket sets. You have to pay for both parts of the tour. I remember getting stopped after the actual house and having to show my double pass.

      If you ever visit they won't let you ride it. Only Shaddow moon is allowed. Too bad there won't be a season 4. Hopefully they wrap it up in a tv film.

    Both the best and worst place to take magic mushrooms.

    I’ve been there several times, and never saw the multi-level carousel. Where is that? Every time I’ve gone, in the area where the carousel was, we were told we had to go to the right. But I know there’s a hallway that looks like a monster’s mouth on the left. It was never open when I went. Is that where the second carousel is?

    Is the Mikado still there? That thing is responsible for a recurring nightmare I had as a child. :)

    I would bet that this place does not have the world's largest carousel :D

      Maybe you are thinking of worlds tallest.

    • @ReachingHigher001
      @ReachingHigher001 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Indeed. Largest versus tallest is different.

    We don't see the typical carousel riders there

    • @koolbuildings7916

      If you look closely the women are half beast, half woman and have been turned into Carousel rides themselves.

    why does the author think these things are fake?

      Maybe many of the things are made to replicate old things. Maybe not original but wow still fantastic.
