The House on the Rock Outing  (back)
 
Description:

The House on the Rock Resort is filled with some of the most unexpected exhibits that will definitely rack and wreck your brain. Don’t believe us? Here are some reviews to help describe the experience.

- “You'll either love it or hate it. I love the whole quirky vibe of wondering what's around the next corner... a carousel? Collection of dioramas? Self-playing musical instruments? Random Asian statuary? It's weird and pretty wonderful, I think. Plus the setting is gorgeous.” - Claire515

- “I went for the first time ever about a month ago; it was worth every creepy doll carousel, clown display, and random collections of tchotchkes I saw.” - Huntiepants75
