Everyone should see House on the Rock at least once. They advised us at the resort to allow 3-5 hours for the tour.....My Mom and I were there for 5 hours....it is just an amazing, incredible, unbelieveable place... and we are ready to go back... I can't compare it to anything else I have ever seen....Alex Jordan was beyond genius...if... More

The tour starts out slow/boring however as it goes on you will be amazed at every room. Took us almost 4 hours. Very exhausting however there are a lot of places throughout the house to rest.

The House on the Rock is truly a unique experience and one not too soon forgotten. We did the ultimate experience which includes all three sections. We were told at the beginning that it would take about three hours but since we took our time and looked at things it took us about 6 hours, with a stop for lunch.... More

It took me a little longer to get to this attraction that it should have, there was construction and I had to take a detour. Hopefully you will not have that problem. This attraction is rather expensive, it cost me close to $30 to see all three sections (the flower gardens were closed for the season). This could get expensive... More

It's hard to explain exactly what this place is. It's sort of a museum but not. It has all sorts of stuff that's just kind of stuff. The house itself is very interesting. It actually is built on a rock! One reviewer called it bizarre. I think that fits well. If you're anywhere near it and that pretty much means... More

We have been to the HotR two times - once as a couple and once with our kids. Carve out about 3 hours to really see everything without rushing. The house itself is interesting in architecture and style. One of the guides explained to us how they anchored the infinity room to the cliff which made walking out into it... More

My twin sister and I are fans of the House on the Rock and went a couple times for our birthday. The first time I was just amazed by all of the stuff, and so caught up in everyone gushing about the house that I shut out all of the negatives and had a fairly good experience. The last time... More

They stop selling tickets an hour before they close, but don't plan on doing the Ultimate Package in that time. Though I highly recommend the the Ultimate package, it took us 5-6 hours to get through the 3 sections. There are very few places to sit, and when you do, it's only for 30 seconds at a time. A lot...

“The House On The Rock” is the creation of Mr. Alex Jordan Jr. a fairly eclectic Wisconsin man. The choice to visit this attraction came after careful consideration of two different options, #1 being "Taliesin", the summer home of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and #2 being, well, the "House on the Rock"! We opted for the second option, mainly because... More

1. Cave of Mounds (caveofthemounds), Little Norway (littlenorway), Mount Horeb and Swiss Town (swisstown) - all near Madison, WI and about 3 hrs from Chicago. Combo tickets for cave & norway are 25/adult and 12/below 12. So approx cost of tkts would be below 90 per family. Plus lunch. 2.House On the Rock / thehouseontherock - A different kind of... More
