The infinity room stretches on forever.
Except not really.
It’s pretty hard to see through the forest if you’re any closer.
At the end of it there’s a little railing.
But if you look past the railing it still looks like it stretches on forever.
And if you look down you can see the top of the forest.
From the railing looking back it’s a long way but not nearly forever.
But it is a long walk back.
And the ground moves a bit because it’s cantilevered, which is a bit scary.
This is the world’s largest carousel
You can’t ride it, but it does really spin.
This is what it looks like from the top.
The carousel is at House on the Rock, after you come out of the tunnel with teeth.
A lot of the animals on the carousel are weird.
Some are just a bit weird.
Others are still giving Kerri nightmares to this day.
The sign says there are no horses on the carousel. But there are plenty of horses in the room with the carousel.
And a lot of things on the carousel that are basically horses, like unicorns.
Or horses with weird tails.
Or armoured centaurs.
And things that look more like a sea-horse than a seahorse does.
This animal appears to be half-donkey, half-horse, and yet is definitely not a mule.
There were also a lot of ferocious animals.
Some of them were armoured.
The National Mustard Museum is very yellow.
They have mustards from all over the world.
And lots of mustards from Canada.
Including Edmontonian mustards.
And Toronto mustards.
They have mustard plasters and other mustard-based cure-alls.
And mustard art.
Various examples of mustard-inspired art.
Capable of fulfilling everyone’s artistic tastes.
Everyone who likes mustard anyway.
Although some things may be a bit extreme even for mustard fans.
They even had mustard art for movie fans.
And R-rated movie fans.
They have the world’s only mustard-only vending machine.
And a big store selling even more mustard.
House on the Rock has the World’s Largest whale sculpture.
It may be life-sized.
And no one is quite sure what kind of whale that is supposed to be.
Those are definitely not whale teeth.
And that is definitely not a whale tongue.
A boat has apparently become shipwrecked inside the whale’s mouth.
It is unclear whether the whale knows this.
His tail is over three stories high.
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.
But for some reason Kerri took a lot of pictures anyway.
The whale is being attacked by an octopus.
The octopus has very large dead eyes.
The only thing real is the whale eardrums, which aren’t in the whale but nearby.
Our hotel had 3 full waterparks. We don’t even know how many pools!
It had lazy rivers, two of which were high speed.
It was kind of fun except that getting out involved getting wet.
Which Kerri was not a fan of.
This is the main outdoor waterpark.
This is the private outdoor waterpark for people staying at the hotel only.
We do not have pictures of the indoor waterpark. The outdoor theme park had several wooden roller coasters, including the only wooden roller coaster that goes upside down, which is suspiciously made of metal.
But almost all of the rides at the outdoor theme park were various go kart tracks. Given that we were mostly in Wisconsin Dells to break up a very long drive, driving less comfortable cars in a loop did not seem very appealing. So we skipped all of those.
We won’t even talk about the “indoor theme park”, which consisted of a few of those coin operated mall rides and an arcade.
