Top Secret, Wisconsin Weirdness


Photo from Top Secret website
Top Secret in the Wisconsin Dells is hard to describe. A funky attraction -- not quite haunted house, but totally not a museum -- is described by guides as the "White House picked up by aliens and dropped upside down" in the Dells. (From the outside, it does look like the White House turned upside down.) It features dark passages, wild lights, wax figures, furniture adhered to the ceilings, dead presidents, unexplained dinosaurs busting out from its sides and much more weirdness. The kids loved it! The adults rolled their eyes and recalculated the cost of admission. It takes less than 30 minutes to take a tour and in the end you'll be scratching you head asking "what was that?"  But the kids had fun. Maybe whatever makes it top secret is only revealed so those 18 and under.
