Upside Down House

The Upside Down House is a dizzying adventure for everybody – grown-ups and children alike. The house has literally been turned upside down. Upstairs is downstairs and vice versa. Sofas, kitchen cabinets, and everything else that you usually see on the floor, even a cat, hang from the ceiling in the Upside Down House. To be precise, they are on the floor, but remember – the floor is the ceiling and the ceiling is the floor. It is you who is upside down. If you got confused, come and see for yourself – everything you have just read is true.
