The Ripley's museum is fun for kids. I remember going when I was a child and I loved it. I returned a couple times as an adult with some friends that have never been, and I loved it all the same. Of course, when I was a kid, I remember it being longer. Same goes for the max museum. As... More

We have been to Ripley's 3 times and have taken others with us. We had a good time and enjoyed the exhibits. I would recommend buying the tickets to the undersea garden and wax museum also. They have a very nice gift shop too.

My 6 year old girl found some of the exhibits scary. I thought some of the stuff was kind of lame. I guess it's ok if you're looking to kill time (which we were). Her favorite parts were the dance room and the star room.

This place hasn't changed much in over twenty years. As much as they charge, they should make some improvements. Very dark probably to mask the cheap, cheesy displays. Like a boring sideshow. When it was over, i just wished i had my money back.

Despite the reviews about it being an awful tourist trap, we went to Ripley's on our recent trip to the coast and loved it! While it only takes about 30 minutes to go through, its worth the money (especially if you go to the undersea gardens and wax museumm too, $25 for all three!). Ripley's was very well themed and...

Had a great time walking around Ripley's Believe it or not. It was well-organized and we plan on bringing our future children here to see the weird and amazing.

I felt like I got little for my money here, unfortunately. Been there twice over a long period and nothing changed, except the price, which has put out of my interest level. Inside has some neat stuff, but not enough for the money. Have ice cream down the street and watch the bay activity. Better times.

It cost 3 for us $50 to go in. I have been here a couple of times and it never changes. Do not waste your time or money
