This place was amazing. Every corner there was something great to see. What a mind blowing collection of items. A must see. The staff was incredible friendly and knowledgeable. If you have leg, hip or back pain. I’d highly recommend some good walking shoes, some ibuprofen and maybe even a muscle relaxer. It a good walk that goes up and down, up and down, up and down. If you have little kids that will get tired and want carried, is suggest that you maybe wait until they’re past that stage. It’s a lot for little ones. If you have kids or family that are easily over stimulated, I’d suggest some eat plugs. It can get very noise and chaotic.

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!

This place is still mind boggling amazing. Bring your walking shoes and prepare yourself to see a living piece of Americana. Its hard to describe the experience, you walk through the results of incredible drive, whimsy, wonder, and collections of collections. My only critique is that they need to spend a couple of weeks dusting, cleaning, then glueing a few things back together. Be sure to watch the history presentation at the beginning and read the wall features to get a better feel of what was accomplished.

Was my 1st time there & had a lot of fun going thru with my friend! If you collect smashed pennies (like me), there are 2 machines & both are located in the restaurant area; 1 design for each machine; each machine takes 1 penny + 2 tokens; no rolling issues that I noticed. Only criticism I have is that it could use a little dusting; I know that's a big task wirh this type of place, but there is a strong dusty smell & was starting to get allergy/sinus irritation towards the end. Also, some of the machines that take tokens weren't working, but there was no signage; saw multiple people wasting tokens on machines that would accept them, but then not work; maybe someone could go thru once a week or something to test them & label if not working properly. Overall, I had a really fun time and was worth checking out because of it's uniqueness.

So, this place rocks! I am always blown away every time I go here. There is something new to see every corner every turn every detail. There's so much you can miss. The adventure took us over 3 and a 1/2 hours. And I still feel like there are things I did not see or look at enough so impressed with the collection so impressed with the staff so impressed with the whole idea that a place like this exists in the world. I don't want to. Spoil it for anyone, but here are some photos.Please please please check this place out if you have time.

I felt it's not worth spending a $35 ticket to visit. I felt like I was walking through a big warehouse where it keeps all cheap useless stuff from garage sales of the 1930s. These lack of maintenance dolls and fake stuff were out of time and dusty. There were many coin-operated, automatically playing stage sets and puppets, making us feel like we were in a nightmare. It's 2 miles to walk through the house.However, my son likes this place.

I can't even begin to describe the house on the rock to anyone. I've done A LOT of reviews, and I've come to have a good skill with it. However, my words does the house on the rock no justice. I assure you, this the absolute most awesome place you've never even heard of. There is SOOOOO much visual eye candy, one is almost beside themselves. It doesn't matter if your a little kid, or an adult, a teen, a parent, a senior, there is SOOOOO much here. Let's take our EVERYTHING, and if your into architecture like Frank Lloyd wright, you MUST experience the infinity room. It definitely changed me. It gives you an indescribable feeling.

Get the Highlights Tour ⭐🏯 Now that we got the recommendation out of the way, let me inform you as to why? ... It's worth it. Running roughly two and a half hours, this tour dives into the ethos of who Frank Lloyd Wright was, with the context necessary to appreciate it - most especially, organic architecture in its most raw form. If you're design buff, architecture student, working professional, or just interested in appreciating beauty in design, then this short escape just steps from the city of Madison should be at the top of your ticket. Go check it out! 👨🏾‍🎨

Planned a trip to Taliesin. We were going to do the self-guided tour. When we arrived, we were told that even though it’s self-guided, it doesn’t start until 3:00, after the guided tours are complete. I understand the reason — they don’t want the self-guided tour to conflict with the guided ones. That makes perfect sense. The issue is that nowhere in the description does it say this. You only find out when you schedule a self-guided tour that it’s at the end of the day. When I brought it up with a staff member at the visitor center, she acknowledged that this has been an issue before and agreed it would be a good idea to update the website description so people aren’t disappointed. When I see “self-guided,” I assume some flexibility. Our travel schedule didn’t allow us to wait another four hours to take the tour, and I don’t know the next time we’ll be in the area. Overall, a very disappointing experience.

After visiting Taliesin West last month on a trip to Arizona and being an avid admirer of mid-century architecture, I thought it was finally time to make the journey to the original Taliesin in Wisconsin. I happened to be in the area after seeing a Shakespearean play at American Players Theatre the night before, and my trip was nothing short of impressive. The very ethos of organic architecture is woven into even the most minute details, and the surrounding landscape is absolutely breathtaking. This place truly brings Frank Lloyd Wright’s vision to life - I couldn’t recommend it more highly to anyone with an interest in architecture or design.

I was truly amazed! As someone who has played piano for events in Frank Lloyd homes before, I know how much time and work goes into keeping those homes restored and in good. This place was incredible. I was also very impressed with how much knowledge the guides had. I asked a lot of hard questions and they kept right up! Will be going for the walking tour!

It was worth the drive from Milwaukee! If you are a FLW fan, it is a must see! The gift shop is great, too. Our guide was wonderful. I'm so glad I went!

Two-hour home tour well worth the cost. Informative guide William went along at the right pace providing history, biography and humor.

Take the Taliesin house tour. Many interesting things to see for the Frank Lloyd Wright lover. Beautiful grounds and an informative walking tour. Nice gift shop as well with a small cafe. Buy tickets ahead of time.

Beautiful venue, setting in the woods. The Hill theater is gorgeous, with amazing sets & lighting. Very high quality productions. Incredible actors. The concessions are very proud of their offerings, if you're ordering ahead for a picnic. Ample areas to bring in your own picnic food.

Last night was my first experience at APT, and it most definitely will not be my last. I saw the show "Anna in the Tropics," and it was amazing. I laughed, I cried, I felt things deep in my soul. My favorite parts were the monologues. They were all done so perfectly (this the crying). The actors were great, the show itself was wonderful, intriguing, heartfelt, and funny. I loved everything about last night, I can't wait for my next show! Also, the picnic area is so nice for before the show and the seats are so comfortable! 10s all around! ❤️

We've seen a number of shows at APT and all of them have been really fun experiences. The actors are always incredible and they put on a great show. Not to mention all the other employees at the service desks and concessions stands are always very polite and helpful.

Every year we are in awe of the content of shows and the fabulous performances. Not sure how they continue to get better and better but it's working!! One of our favorite places!!

Very entertaining and would love to be back for a nighttime show!! The backdrop of the woods has an enchanting feel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Additionally the amenities were clean, the shop and concessions had a nice assortment of options. The day I went was a mildly hot day and we had cover from the sun until the last act. It would be nice to have more sun cover for the audience. Otherwise no other complaints!

One of the best regional theaters in the country in my opinion, Saw a wonderful version of 'A Winter's tale' if you love live theater, head to spring Green, Wisconsin.

Great performance! We went to a rare morning performance, with lots of well behaved high school and college students. (Good job, teachers!) 85 degrees and some seats were in the sun for the entire show. Take a hat and sunscreen if seeing a day time performance.

We Camped here 2x times this summer/fall with our RV. Very nice place that you can tub the WI river from. Not a “party” place but lots of fun to be had. Very kid friendly, but not over run by chaos. They have a very nice, large restaurant/bar on site that has very good food! Can’t wait to go back.

Stopped for lunch while in town. Was blown away with the view from restaurant. Sat outside on a nice summer day. Beautiful place! Food was great. Bar was amazing! Will definitely be back to camp.

We only had dinner there. The staff was friendly and efficient. We liked the menu selections for both food and drinks. Our food good and the view is beautiful.

The rv park is very nice, right on the Wisconsin River. Full hook ups. Wide and level sites with cement patio and picnic table. The staff here is fantastic! Stephanie, the Recreation Manager and Gina, Campground Staff, both are very client service focused. We enjoyed our stay here!

Bad experience with a group that used for years. Ordered medium rare steak sandwich, received a steak sandwich with a black burned color ,literally with no flavor. I am not a complainer normally, but group was astonished when a showed them the steak color. I mentioned it to waitress and was told it was my problem since restaurant policy is not to replace when you take bite out of it. I obviously did not eat, and waitress got furious when I gave a low tip. Our group will never return to Riverside...

Restaurant and bar offer tasty food and drinks. Campground is clean and orderly with full hookups and summer time activities. I would have given more stars, but the public laundry and bathrooms would be great if the change machine in the laundry were stocked and operating. This is the second year in a row that I went in to shower and couldn't get change. Office was closed. Really a bush league way to run a for profit amenity. I spent 75 cents waiting for warm water. I can run down to govenor Dodge where my state sticker will get me hot showers.

Had lunch on Saturday and had a terrific meal. Service was great, as were our meals. Enjoyed a drink outside on the patio and enjoyed the view of the Wisconsin River. We’ll be back soon!!!

Bought a bag of sweet corn for $25. (It was maybe 6 dozen) Went to shuck it and it was full of worms! Maybe got 10 good pieces. Cooked it up and it was horrible! Worse corn ever! Had to throw it all away! Called and talked to them and they said to come get another bag. I am 1 hr from them so i said NO i was not driving back up there. (The corn was for a fish fry) Asked for a refund and they said NO we don't do that. I would not give this business another dime. In this day and age there are other businesses that will stand behind their product. I would never recommend this place ever!!! They should get 0 stars!

What an amazing place to see. So colorful, so creative, and so wholesome. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is it is WAY too over priced, period.

I stopped while on a motorcycle trip. They have a ton of things to see and buy. There are fun things for kids to do there. I would go again for sure.

Peck’s is such a fun stop! The petting zoo is adorable, the lawn ornaments are so unique (but expensive) and the candy/chocolate/fudge selection is out of this world. They’ve also got fresh produce, dried fruit, nuts, and even plants and succulents. A must-visit see if you’re driving thru Spring Green!

Very large variety of homemade goods in a large variety of flavors too! Pickles, jams, jellies, spreads, asparagus, beans, old fashioned gum & candy, fresh produce, frozen meat, and so much more!Plus they have a very large selection of beautiful metal art decorations in all sizes, shapes, colors and patterns and so much more! They also have a petting zoo that you can visit as well! If you're on a long trip I highly recommend you make this a stop for stretching your legs, giving the kiddos (even the grown up kids) something fun to do to break up the long ride & definitely buy some of the fresh food they have!

We have loved coming here for years as part of an annual family trip. We arrived today and the animals are gone and it is overgrown with nothing to do anymore. The train ride was sitting out back and not running......I don't believe we will be back.

can't support a business that lowers their American flag for a knotzee a month or so before lowering lower it in honor of Veterans Day. At least I know where to tell people NOT to go

My Wife and I ate here for lunch for the 1st time and couldn't have been more impressed. Great Beer cheese soup and the burgers perfect. Now let's talk homemade fries, BEST IVE EVER HAD! The staff was as cool as it gets and the atmosphere was very comfortable. My only problem was that I didn't get a chance to try everything on the Menu. We can't wait to go back!

Stayed in Spring Green for the weekend and this was our first dinner after 7 hours of driving. IT WAS WORTH IT. Beautiful atmosphere, our waitress was so lovely with suggestions and service. And the food is out of this world good. From the stellar grilles cheese to the catfish special that literally melted in tour mouth!!

This was my first meal in wisconsin on a 4 day solo trip. I agree with their website that they are understaffed but there service was good, I felt taken care of. I had a cucumber cosmo, Brussel sprouts app and their flatbread pizza special. The pizza was amazing. I think also important to note that a lot of the people working there seemed to younger people, teenagers and they were great.

Excellent food and cool atmosphere in a well-renovated old bank. Nice outdoor patio space. Drinks were a tad weak, staff seemed a bit disorganized, and the cook yelling out orders from the kitchen at the top of his lungs (to the point I physically jumped nearly every time) was SUPER annoying, but we'd give it another whirl. Pictured: trout dip appetizer (DELISH), bourbon mule, fish fry, fancy grilled cheese add ham, and sweet potato fries (crispy and flavorful).

The decor is very nice. Historic feel with modern upgrades. The food is really good, blackened salmon was really good. It can be a bit pricey but a good place for a more formal dinner. They have a bar area as well as multiple dinning area's. Friendly staff.

I woke up the next morning and the word brisket was the first thing out of my mouth. We went on an off season Friday night and they were packed. Attentive, genuine wait staff was fast and knowledgeable. We ordered the farm fresh salad and added a protein. We both ordered brisket and it came in a cup on the side. AMAZING! Photo was taken in a very dim lit area.

I was pretty skeptical when we came in, and actually anti-Freddy Valentines when the menu didn’t have cheese curds (my one requirement provided to the person choosing our lunch spot). In spite of starting by having to overcome my admittedly unfair pissy mood, they blew me away. The Reuben was incredible, and the sweet potato fries were so good I can’t put together a description. I got to taste everyone else’s food, everything was great. It’s obvious they really put a lot of care into the food and I’m really glad we stopped there for lunch.

One of the best, if not the best cheeseburgers I’ve had in my life. Speedy, friendly service, even though they were busy. Unpretentious, so leave highfaluting at the door.

Used to go here every weekend in the late 90’s when we skied at Wintergreen ski area on ski patrol…Great burgers and atmosphere …brings back memories !

Service, burger & atmosphere were awesome! Will definitely go back when in WI !

Always friendly staff, GREAT burgers at great price. Always come here when we're in town.

One of the best burgers I have had in a long time. The server was more then kind. Over all nice small town vibe. Definitely reccomend if you are in this area to stop in and get a burger.

Great local bar with friendly bartender and amazing burgers! We stopped on our way through town 💗

Go for the burgers, stay for the atmosphere. Didn't expect so many people at 2 :15 pm on a Monday. Very pleasant place, excellent bartender. My cousin was pleased with her Bloody Mary and we loved our burgers. Generous chip selection & surprised they had a diet decaf cola. Will go again next time I'm in town.

Always a must stop on our way home from Boscobel. The grandkids love to feed the goats and animals.

What an experience for everyone. You can feed the animals and even pet them. I didn't get photos of the deer as I was too busy feeding them. The peacock was absolutely beautiful. The miniature ponies were so cute. A must visit!

Forget about the rest of these reviews about the store and how it was nice for a family day out. The way these animals are treated is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. I went to Pecks and went through the terrible excuse of a petting zoo. All of the animals were begging for food and were giving nothing other then the corn people buy to feed them. All of the animals from the goats to the huge cows and elk were given a dog sized bowl for water. almost every animals ribs were showing and were just simply begging for just some attention. I cannot believe that this place hasn’t been shut down for animal neglect. No animal deserves to be treated like that. The people running this place should be ashamed of themselves. i’ve posted photos of the cow and deer in their conditions

Great place for fresh food and fun for the kids

Our favorite place to take the kids! They love feeding all of the animals-especially the goats. The market has lots of goods, kids especially love the room with toys-of course. They have beautiful-realistic stuffed animals! 🆆🅸🅻🅳🅴🆁'🆂 6 month photos wouldn't have been 𝕨𝕚𝕝𝕕 without them! 🦝🐻🦊🦅 They sell delicious honey combs, ice cream, cookies, amish made food and more. Great place for family fun and photos! Everyone is always so friendly and kind!

We didnt get there early enough to go inside, but the outside of this place is awesome! We watched a goat being born not two feet from us. There were plenty of babies running around. The animals are friendly, and have a lot of personality. A very unique area, definitely worth the visit! Hopefully the next time we're in the area we can stop in and get some good fruits and veggies. I recommend stopping here if you're in the area. There are Pokestops and a gym here.

We try to visit Peck's East every fall. We love seeing the animals and always find something we HAVE to buy in the store. They sell all sizes of pumpkins from mini to gigantor, large mums and decorative corn. They have apples, cider, Caramel apples, vegetables, pastries and cookies, harder to find candy, and so much more. The Apple Cider slushies are so good! Even when it's busy the lines move quickly and the staff always friendly. Such a fun place for kids and adults!

This is a smaller state park that I didn't know existed. Being on the river, you get high long views on certain areas, river side areas, and tons of mosquitoes. The hiking is relatively easy, with the hike from the tunnel to the top of the tower being the hardest and steepest. That trail also is pretty tight, and the steps they have on it could use a little tlc.

Extremely buggy and the toilets were very dirty and full.of spiders. I i go to many state parks and hike consistently so I am not afraid of bugs but it was insane, I have never had state park toilets as filthy as these, no toilet paper as well. The trails were great.The history was fantastic and that is the reason for the 3 stars.The other area of the park was nice green area. Being that it was a very wet summer I understand the mosquitoes but they were beyond unbearable.

What an incredible place to enjoy a view of the Wisconsin River and learn about real Wisconsin history from the 1830s. Lots of stairs, but so worth it when you get to the top. I absolutely loved the historical exhibit of the shot tower.

Very steep hike up to see the tower but the history is so cool that you MUST go and see it. Also, an amazing view from the top!

One of Wisconsin's smaller state parks, but still worth the visit! Located near Spring Green, Tower Hill State Park tells the story of Wisconsin's mining past. The reproduction of the original smelter house allows visitors to see how lead from the mines of southwest Wisconsin would have been processed in the state's early years. The trails around the smelter house provide for a moderate hike and allow visitors to view the Wisconsin River basin for miles in either direction.

Great views! The trail is steep but I'm 42 and out of shape and managed it okay enough to enjoy it.

This place needs some love! We enjoyed the hike but there is really only one trail and not a lot of options for hikes. The one that they did have needs to be cleaned up and fixed. It had a really cool historical aspect and there were a lot of maps on the trail so you wouldn’t get lost. The view was gorgeous and the hike was delightful.

Great sandy beach and place to get in and out of the river. Nice cliff views as well.

We use this landing as our end point for a kayaking trip every year. Nice sandy beach to pull kayaks/canoes up. Plenty of parking and good room to pull multiple vehicles around close to the beach to load up gear. Has a nice loaner life jacket stand as well. No running water to rinse off or wash hands, only port-a-pottys...not full bathrooms.

First time there on our way ho.e from house on the rock. Beautiful and would like to come back for some kayaking.

First time, not bad fishing the sand bars, got skunked though. No toilet paper in either bathroom. Luckily had paper towels in car. Bad maintenance.

Super clean and quite great place to swim for the day and have a bbq

Great gathering spot for a “beach” day with friends. No bathrooms though, just portables 😖

Beautiful and peaceful place to go. I love to fish there as well as swim. It’s a very serene place to go. Quiet and spiritually warming!

We were very intrigued by the items outside and were excited about seeing what this art studio had to offer. We had planned on spending money to support this local business. When we walked in, the the person there demanded we wear a mask and we immediately left. You cannot patronize this business without wearing a mask. Every business can be run however they want, but we wouldn't have made the trip had we known. Very disappointed.

Beautiful variety of art. It is mostly a stunning variety of glass art, but there is also metal, clay, photography and paintings. Unique art you don't see everywhere else!

Nice glass, nice lady. Be sure and wear a mask as she is health compromised and can't afford to get any kind of illness. It's worth the effort.

Gorgeous glass sculptures

Beautiful artistic work! We stop by whenever we come this way. Colleen is an interesting woman who makes a difference in the world.

If you love blown glass, this is where you want to come. Absolutely the best! A fraction of what Dale Chihuly charges, and as beautiful!

Very friendly and outgoing. I love the items Colleen has to offer. All very unique.

Everything was exceptional. Service, energetic vibe, and memorable food. The pork chop was prepared to perfection, tender, tasty and pan seared. The pasta stuffed with mushrooms and ricotta was a grand slam, hit-it-out-of-the-ballpark home run. Thank you for a wonderful evening! Easily the best restaurant in Southwest Wisconsin.

Homecoming is such a special restaurant! I recently had my wedding rehearsal dinner there, and Kyle went out of his way to make sure the night was perfect. We were able to create a custom dinner menu, complete with their wood-fired pizzas that everyone enjoyed watching being made out back, and the food was beyond delicious. Honestly the best butternut squash ravioli I had ever had, and trust me I have had this dish many-a-time. Besides the amazing food, the drink selection was fantastic and the entire staff were top notch. I wished I lived in Spring Green to eat here all the time : )

Playing Kenny Chesney outside almost lost them a star especially the cover of Tracy Chapman. The setting of eating outside was splendid. We were there for barbecue night. The collard greens were delicious. My companions loved the Mac and cheese side too. The smoked sausage, ribs, and chicken were all tasty. The refillable eclectic water krafts are nice. The lone bathroom seems inadequate but maybe there are more hidden somewhere.

This place was excellent! A hidden gem in Spring Green. We found out the prices were appropriate for the quality and tastiness of the food. Everyone in our group was very happy with our experience here and look forward to making the trip again.

We had the pleasure of trying Homecoming for the first time recently. The pasta, wood-fired pizza, and the turmeric chocolate cake we had were all phenomenal. Our hotel told us it’s common to see owners at the SG farmer’s market picking up what’s in season to incorporate into the menu. This place is a gem and makes SG even more special.

Such a neat place. The food is SO GOOD - obviously made by talented, experienced chefs. It's a different concept in that you do all your ordering at the counter and they bring it out to your table. Grab your own plates and silverware and head outside in beautiful weather, or stay inside the old schoolhouse. The menu changes often depending on what local produce is available but their woodfired pizzas seem to be a staple (at least in the summer time). Picture is their Roasted Squash Toast.

Fabulous food, atmosphere, and service! We were lucky enough to have perfect weather to sit outside amongst the butterfly garden and low-key music. Between the 4 of us we had 2 bottles of wine, 2 cucumber salads, an olive dish, sausage cabbage appetizer, and 3 pizzas. We had leftovers, but everything was great! Thank you so much to the staff for making our first visit so fantastic! We look forward to returning soon and will also gladly sit inside the beautiful dinning room.
