Driving down the road in Florida and coming across the one-of-a-kind house will absolutely make you do a double take. Not because it’s built to replicate a castle, that’s an entirely different unique place in Florida. But instead, this particular house is an artist’s dream, a spectacular sight of color and whimsical celebration…and of course, tons and tons of bowling balls.
The Whimzey Bowling Ball House in Safety Harbor, Florida is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.

Nicknamed “The Bowling Ball House” this one-of-a-kind house has soon become the center attraction for the surrounding area known as “Whimzeyland”.

The reason why it’s nicknamed The Bowling Ball House is due to the hand-decorated bowling balls which pepper the landscaping of the property.
