Turn Your World Upside Down!

The name of this establishment says it all – it's a house that has been built upside down. And we must say, it is quite a unique and interesting sight to see! All the furniture inside the house is not on the floor like it should be. Instead, it is above your head. This building takes Lionel Richie's song, "Dancing On The Ceiling", to a whole new meaning! This is an amazing experience for all ages.

You can expect to spend between an hour or two strolling in and around the interesting house, taking plenty of awesome photos for all of your social media platforms. And with the house being built upside down, it is also positioned at an angle, which contributes to the strange illusion and experience within the house.

And for further entertainment for families, there are jumping castles and coin operated kiddies rides perfect for the little ones.

There's also an onsite restaurant where families can grab a bite to eat in between exploring the house, taking awesome pictures, and enjoying the other activities on the premises.

And, while in Harties, why not visit the other amazing and interesting locations such as Chameleon Village, the Harties Cableway, Little Paris, and Van Gaalen Cheese Farm. Take a look at out Harties Day Trip Map here.
