We went last December and we had coupons to help with the steep admission. Bring your camera! It was just very entertaining. The prism room was too cool. I liked the camel passing through the eye of a needle! It was like the Visionary Art Museum fused with a hands on children's science center and a circus. Some of the... More

No matter where I go that has a Ripley's I usually go in. It's boring for the kids, but interesting for adults and teens. The teens usually like anything that has the gross factor to it!

There was so much to see! It was fairly in-expensive and it was very interesting. We only did the oditorium which is the actual museum. It was more than what we were expecting to see.

We live in the area and went to see if it's worth taking friends/family when they come to visit. The museum takes about 20 minutes and was largely filled with outdated kids' activities (like "push this button to hear a sound")--several of which were broken. The whole walk through you keep thinking, "Ugh, we paid $30/person for this." The mirror... More

Thank you so much for taking the time to review your visit to Ripley's. We are disheartened to hear that you were disappointed with your visit. While the average guest spends approximately one hour viewing the exhibits and playing with over 100 "interactives" we understand how it can seem short if you choose to walk through at a faster pace...

I've been to the Ripley Museum in TN and it was awesome! This one...not so much. Very short. It took may 15 minutes to see the whole museum.

This attraction was not on the top of our list but we decided to give it a try. We opted for the package which included the museum, mirror maze and the movie. The museum was pretty cool and kept my boys, ages 10 and 7, entertained. There were a lot of interactive options and really cool optical illusions. We really... More

Ripley's Believe It or Not in Baltimore is pretty cool. I enjoyed the Ripley's in Gatlinburg much more than I did here though. It can be a bit pricey but you can get discount coupons if you look for them. If you go on the Water Taxi, you will get $2.00 off coupons to Ripley's per person so it pays... More

No matter what Ripley's you go to, there are still more odd things to see. The one in the Inner Harbor is no exception. My family and I just purchased tickets for the Museum part, but we would add the "mirror maze" to the ticket next time we go. Very enjoyable time!

Went here with a field trip for our program of disabled adults. While I found the exhibits mildly interesting our clients had a great time and the staff were all very polite. The Mirror Maze was a highlight. We will most likely be back again.
