I loved this experience. It was a long drive from Chicago about three hours but it was worth it. One thing I didn’t expect to walk outside from one section to another I left my jacket in the car and it was super cold. Also, I didn’t buy enough tokens, but that’s okay cause people use them to play a music and I can hear it. And also they have a machine inside the museum. But it has to be $1 cash. but this machine is in the middle of museum so it’s better to buy them at cashier. It’s beautiful decorations before Christmas it’s a lot of Santa Claus. And I liked the music that instruments played by itself. And the carousel was amazing. The best.

I don’t think anything could have truly prepared me for this experience. It was so incredible, mind numbing, ginormous, chaotic, and entertaining. Anything I could find online about it didn’t even scratch the surface of what we were in for. Every section was so over the top and captivating. Our group especially loved the iconic whale room and the original house. The carousel is a sight to behold. Fall is definitely the best time of the year to visit as the whole house is sort of spooky in its own way. My only couple of gripes are the length and the temperature. If you have mobility issues or do not like long walks, this is not for you. The whole tour is about a 2.5 mile walk and there’s quite a bit of incline. No problem for our group as we are avid hikers, but even my feet hurt by the end. The exhibit is also not temperature controlled. On the day we went it was 42 degrees, so the whole time it was about the same temperature walking through everything. We were very cold. Not much relief from it either despite being inside most of the time. Website says to allow a minimum of two hours but it takes most 3-4 hours to get through if you thoroughly look at everything. We found that to be true. We cranked through it and got out within two hours but can easily see it taking 3 or more if we spent more time reading and taking in every part of the collection. There’s just honestly so much to see. Too much to ever remember so at a point we kind of blacked out and just finished it quickly. Overall a once in a lifetime experience and I’m so glad we went. Well worth the ticket price in my opinion! Stop by downtown Spring Green on your way in/out for lunch at Wander Provisions and the ice cream shop next door!

Literally the best and coolest place ever!!!!!! The carousel was my absolute favorite!! Next to the cool medival room, which was my husband's favorite. My only complaint was we went on a hot day and all that walking killed me! BUT soooo worth it! I wanna go back already! I recommend going On their site and pre-ordering your tickets so you dont have to wait in line!
