Things to Do  

House on the Rock tour 1

House on the Rock tour 1, Spring Green

 Dabs Says:  The House on the Rock is divided into three sections, you can visit just the house or have the ultimate experience and visit all three parts. Tour 1 is a visit to the house itself, Alex Jordan must have been really short or a really bad architect as most places in the house... 

Arty school - FL Wright designed

Arty school - FL Wright designed, Spring Green

 Tom_In_Madison Says:  FL Wright designed this in 1958, and i was built the next year. It was a grade school, but is now used as an art/community building. Still looks like it was built yesterday. You can walk around it, and inside if it's open.

F.L Wright Spring Green Visitors Center & M&I Bank, Spring Green

 Peterodl Says:  The local M&I bank building and it's former drive-thru annex that now serves as the Spring Green Visitors' Center were designed by former Spring Green resident Frank Lloyd Wright. It's a nice addition to the sightseeing of Taliesin and the House on the Rock tourist...

House on The Rock

House on The Rock, Spring Green

 AVG2319 Says:  Since I grew up in Wisconsin everyone has always said "you have to go see the House on The Rock", so I did-Honestly this "attraction" didn't impress me much not for the price of admission. I am sure at some time this house was truly amazing-I've just seen better is all.... 

The House on the Rock

The House on the Rock, Spring Green

 chickky311 Says:  This is a place definitely unlike any other. If you've ever been here you know what I'm talking about. This place is huge, and there's a lot to see so I would recommend about 3 hours for it (the whole place covers over 200 acres). You walk through the actual house itself... 

The Wisconsin River

The Wisconsin River, Spring Green

 SenoraSusan Says:  This river is a great adventure. My father and I would go tubing (in tire inner tube tires) down this river in the 70's.This river is alive and demands respect. She changes her borders each spring. She is home to many large birds along with the migrating SandHill Cranes.... 

The House on the ROCK!

General Store: General Store

General Store: General Store, Spring Green

 Peterodl Says:  The general store is always a busy place to grab a large breakfast or a good lunch. If you're in town for the American Players Theater, you can run into the actors from the plays at the general store. Sit outside on the porch and enjoy the free wi-fi available or browse the... 

Arthur's - Spring Green, WI: Can't explain the crowds

Arthur's - Spring Green, WI: Can't explain the crowds, Spring Green

 androidusername Says:  Arthur's is definitely a gold mine for the owners - no question about it... The place is always packed! What I don't understand is: WHY? In the ten years we've lived in the area, we've gone there maybe 4 or 5 times and always walked out wondering where the attraction is. In... 

The Bank: The Bank

The Bank: The Bank, Spring Green

 androidusername Says:  My one visit to The Bank was interesting. I can't complain too much about the food, but I do have an issue with the other reviewer's point that it was something like $11-20. Nowhere near (unless they meant for a glass of wine). I thought that, especially for a small... 

The Spring Bank!: don't miss visiting the new restaurant in town!

The Spring Bank!: don't miss visiting the new restaurant in town!, Spring Green

Little Norway village...its really not worth to visit and pay for it!! 'Village' is only few houses to see and nothing else! would either suggest Dutch Village in Michigan State - Holland city - much better and interesting...
But anyway - this is my opinion..

There are great biking trails and you can select it according to your desire; flat trails, or more hilly trails, you will be satisfied just biking and enjoying the scenic views!

Equipment: There are no close by places to rent bicycles, but there are good shops near by that will give you the right gear to make your trip a success!
