  • John Deere Tractor Museum

    This is a replica of John Deere’s first plow.

    Image

    To keep the plow straight you have to be strong.

    Image

    Plowing was hard work.

    Image

    So they invented tractors.

    Image

    Tractors are uncomfortable, so they added bouncy seats.

    Image

    This is the biggest tractor.

    Image

    Matt drove it too.

    Image

    It has a lot of buttons.

    Image

    Which do a lot of things.

    Image

    Hooray for tractors.

  • Doll Carosel

    The world’s largest carousel is not the only carousel at House on the Rock. This one is 5 storey tall.

    Image

    It has a lot of dolls on it.

    Image

    And a lot of other terrifying stuff.

    Image

    The top has naked women, only some of which are terrifying.

    Image

    And underneath them are dolls.

    Image

    Lots of spinning dolls.

    Image

    This is a close-up, in case you don’t understand how naked women could be terrifying.

    Image

    The weirdest part is that dirty and seems to have injuries painted on her. Being a brown unicorn-headed women is weird enough, but why is she also abused?

  • World’s Largest Carousel

    This is the world’s largest carousel

    Image

    You can’t ride it, but it does really spin.

    Image

    This is what it looks like from the top.

    Image

    The carousel is at House on the Rock, after you come out of the tunnel with teeth.

    Image

    A lot of the animals on the carousel are weird.

    Image

    Some are just a bit weird.

    Image

    Others are still giving Kerri nightmares to this day.

    Image

    The sign says there are no horses on the carousel. But there are plenty of horses in the room with the carousel.

    Image

    And a lot of things on the carousel that are basically horses, like unicorns.

    Image

    Or horses with weird tails.

    Image

    Or armoured centaurs.

    Image

    And things that look more like a sea-horse than a seahorse does.

    Image

    This animal appears to be half-donkey, half-horse, and yet is definitely not a mule.

    Image

    There were also a lot of ferocious animals.

    Image

    Some of them were armoured.

  • Giant Whale

    House on the Rock has the World’s Largest whale sculpture.

    Image

    It may be life-sized.

    Image

    And no one is quite sure what kind of whale that is supposed to be.

    Image

    Those are definitely not whale teeth.

    Image

    And that is definitely not a whale tongue.

    Image

    A boat has apparently become shipwrecked inside the whale’s mouth.

    Image

    It is unclear whether the whale knows this.

    Image

    His tail is over three stories high.

    Image

    Like everything else at House on the Rock, the room is dark and nothing quite fits inside it, making it very difficult to take pictures.

    Image

    But for some reason Kerri took a lot of pictures anyway.

    Image

    The whale is being attacked by an octopus.

    Image

    The octopus has very large dead eyes.

    Image

    The only thing real is the whale eardrums, which aren’t in the whale but nearby.
