House Down Under lands upside-down !
Australia ’ s first inverted house photo experience , House Down Under is set to bring upside-down fun to Rouse Hill , Sydney . After an overwhelming demand , the unique and exciting attraction will be back , landing at its brand-new location just in time for the school holidays .
Opening its doors at Rouse Hill Town Centre on Saturday 1 April , House Down Under is a must-see , family-friendly experience with a range of installations and activities inside a completely inverted house .
Sydneysiders and visitors will have their world turned upside down inside the house which appears to have dropped from the sky , Wizard of Oz style . House guests will only be limited by their imagination , capturing surreal and creative photo memories from an inverted perspective , all while having a laugh with family and friends . Entering the house , visitors will feel on top of the world , walking ( or dancing ) on the ceilings and taking in all the sights including an attic , kids play area and monkey bars , a bathroom with an upside-down toilet , a home office , entry way , lounge room , bedroom , kitchen area and more .
General Manager for House Down Under , Osvaldas Anusaitis is excited to
bring the unique photo experience to the Western Suburbs of Sydney .
“ We are thrilled to be back and to soon be bringing the excitement of House Down Under to our new location in Rouse Hill . The new venue has been designed to engage and captivate guests , creating instagrammable moments with family and friends of all ages in our upside-down house ,” said Anusitis .
House Down Under is open from 10am at the weekend , however for more regular hours , please check the website . It can be found between the Metro and the Town Centre at Market Square , Rouse Hill Town Centre in Rouse Hill , NSW . Rouse Hill Town Centre is the go-to destination for families with a variety of family entertainment and food options available . For this reason , House Down Under has created a virtual queue , allowing families to walk away and enjoy their day while they wait for their turn to go upside-down .
There is no time limit on how long visitors can spend inside the house , so guests can take their time perfecting their poses and taking as many photos as they like . Better still , House Down Under staff are always on hand in the house , offering advice , tips on best photo ops and to snap pictures of the whole group .
