🤹‍♀️ Around Madison: A Day Trip to The House on the Rock

📍 The House on the Rock (literally “the house on the rock” — but really it’s a museum + art installation + dream factory!) 🧭 Address: 5754 State Road 23, Spring Green, WI 🚗 About a 1-hour drive from Madison — perfect for a spontaneous weekend adventure! ⏰ How long to spend? Allow 2–3 hours. Easy to do as a day trip ✅ 🎫 Tickets & Tips Buy tickets online in advance — skip the lines, snap more photos 📸 Grab a $5 token pack (15 tokens) — you’ll need them! Feed the “self-playing organ” 🎹 Watch the eerie automated orchestra 🎻👯 See the world’s largest indoor carousel (note: look, don’t ride! 🎠) 🎰 Who doesn’t love token-powered fun? You can also follow the sound of music (or other visitors’ tokens!) to catch all the activated exhibits. Pro tip: if you hear jingling pockets, just casually follow them 😏🪙 #TokenHacks 🧦 What to bring Comfy shoes — the place is huge and maze-like 👟 Fully charged phone — you’ll be taking non-stop pics and videos 📱 Bonus: bring a gimbal or GoPro if you have one! Great for: dates, weird-outings-with-friends, and anyone whose mental state is… creatively unstable 😜 🧠 In a nutshell: You’ll leave wondering if the whole place was designed by someone sleepwalking. Bizarre · maximalist · mechanical · and absolutely easy to love! ❤️🤯 #MadisonDayTrip #WisconsinTravel #HouseOnTheRock #WeirdWisconsin #DreamFactory #MidwestAdventures #ExploreWI #OffbeatUSA
