We had a great time walking though this museum, we did the wax hands two singles and one double. Today we received them by ups as perfect as they were made! Thanks again from Detroit.

It was a nice place to go on a date if you dont want the usual dinner and a movie. Only downside was how hot the lights are and no discounts in the retail part. What makes it so great is being able move at your own pace. That made it SOOOOO worth it. Dont rush if you dont have to. We took the time to read and inspect the smaller items. It was fun for me and my date.

This place was very interesting. I always wanted to check out a Ripleys Believe it or Not. This was definitely an experience. There were some times where i was wondering what in the world is this? But there were other times where i was thinking, hows this possible?We took lots of pics and the further we went the better the tour got. The miniature or microscopic world was incredibly impressive. I recommend everyone to see this portion and really take some time to understand what it takes to create such work of art.

Had a blast. Lots of fun and interesting exhibits. We will definitely return to go through the exhibits again. The wax hand is worth the time and money. It cost extra, but it is a Great souvenir and there are so many ways to customize it. Lots of interacting exhibits that make it a great time. The staff was super friendly as well.

Probably the best kept secret... My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this place... Even picked up some t shirts to remember it by.... If Im in Florida again I will definitely revisit. The building was crazy cool it tilted and looked like it was leaning

Me, my husband and children had a great time. My children loved everything. It was educational and fun. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We also purchased some cool items from the gift shop that we still have today . Our visit was some months ago, so I’m just now getting Time to write reviews on places I have been. We will be returning here again.

This was fun only 4 stars because I think it cost to much for what it is.

I have always been a fan of Ripley’s until my experience at this location. They mask shame instead of sanitizing all their hands-on exhibits. Instead of it being a fun outing, the manager walks around watching masks instead of cleaning. It was bizarre! Not once while I was there did I see anything cleaned after so many people touched everything. Then to be told my mask wasn’t tight enough was just hypocritical because of their lack of cleanliness. They didn’t care about people sanitizing their hands before touching the exhibits either, nor did they care about social distancing. They only liked to power trip on how your mask fits.

From models made from matchsticks to the worlds smallest car Ripleys was a blast! Curious by nature Ripleys satisfied my urge to explore some unusual sides of life. Ripleys is great for curiosity seekers of all ages!

Its pretty cool inside during this heat so that was a plus. We only spent about an hour inside to see everything. Might bring the kids next time we go.

21.99 a person. For two FL adult residents + tax was only $44, so its affordable. Its not that big or long of a tour. I wasnt very impressed with this one compared to ones Ive visited in other places. Kid friendly and family oriented as well.

This place is awesome. Loads of stuff to look at. Great place for kids. They do require masks! Not crowded right now. They limit the number of people inside. We walked in when they opened an did not have a problem. A must see if in the area.

Havent been to a Ripleys in years. Was a nice visit, staff was very friendly and went over all guidelines before we went in. Very clean and lots of interesting information; if you read all the plaques. You can rush through everything though if you are not one who likes to read, I dont recommend it though cause you could be done in like 10 minutes. We found it was worth the hour we spent in there.

Review №22

Cute and interesting but not as impressive as other ripleys I’ve been to in the past. The building is small the attraction is very short. It’s mostly artwork, as apposed to “believe it or not”. It was still a fun date but it’s set the bar pretty low for other ripleys I visit for sure. I definitely think they could improve a bit. Not bad, but not somewhere you need to see more than once. They do have a good mid-evil torture section that I found interesting, and the spinning tunnel. But other than that it’s mostly an art gallery.You can walk through the whole attraction in 20 minutes, even stopping to read the signs. Cute but it’s over fast so have other plans for after

A lot of very interesting items, but a lot of the displays are very dated. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I felt the price was a little steep for what you get but hey its around Disney right?

Review №27

It was OK at best. Smaller than we expected and overpriced. Not to mention, there was a nasty smell of cherry air deodorizer throughout the whole walk-thru. I still have the smell in my nose ...Yuck! As a family of 3 (2 adults and 1 child) we spent $66 on admission for about 45 mins of walk-through time. We were reminded at the entrance/front desk 2x that we only had 1 hour to start and finish the exhibit which made us feel uncomfortable and rushed before we even began the thing! Not the experience we were hoping for.

I would definitely visit this place again! You are able to purchase your tickets online which was used friendly. We really enjoyed reading all the fun facts and seeing all the different objects at Ripleys. They do wax molding and they also have a gift shop towards the exit.

Lots of fun! Staff was nice. So many things to see and interact with. Great for couples or family with kids. Take home Hand Waxing area was new and looked cool for good prices. Can spend up to 2 hours inside and not realize cuz its lots of fun. Gift shop has a lot of cool items. We bought a hat/shirt set for myself and a color changing t-shirt for my fiance that came with a free mug. Worth it!!

We came here on a rainy day and got to see a lot of famous people! I think the prices could use some adjusting but no matter what, we had a good time. The exhibits seemed to be well maintained and the building was very clean. I love how the exhibits have themes tied to them. Very artistic expression of the celebrities!!

It was fun to go to the place I watched on TV when I was younger!! I was fascinated by the TV show and to see some of the actual artifacts there was awesome!!

Review №44

You just want to go inside of the building thats upside down on its side... Really enjoyed showing the kids through here. Took an 11 and 12 year old. Most of the areas are fun and educational and they wanted to read them. Some of the areas are bit scary or intimidating because theyre dark and one features torture over the ages. Then its back to fun neon and games! The kids wanted to stay there all night however particularly fun areas, microscopes, electronic brain teasers and a big light bright. Very cool gift shop to close it out along with a tunnel that spins.

Review №51

A great place for a family trip or just to have fun and learn a lot from all the adventures of Ripley. You are firstly greeted by the front of the building which in itself is hard to believe. There are some experiences that may leave you a bit disoriented due to optical illusions but all in all a super fun experience. There are interactive experiences for every age. You are guaranteed to learn a few new things as well as possibly change your perspective on things that you probably thought you knew before.

Interesting but if your not taking the time to actually check out the displays and interactive activities the walk through is going to be over with just a few quick corners.

Review №61

Ripleys was very fun with many interesting and educational attractions. Its really hard to get into the details of Ripleys experience without spoilers, but this was a very enjoyable experience. If you want a fun adventure with a good chuckle and fun facts, this is the place for you.

Review №62

A self-guided tour that is wheelchair accessible, your minds will be filled with culture, trivia, and history. From a mishmash of the merely strange to the hideously outrageous collection of oddities from around the world. Random and unusual facts displayed everywhere. Optical Illusions. Puzzles. Video presentations. Wacky lots-of-time-on-your-hands artwork. Figures. And interactive devices within each room that reoccurs into a colorful theme. There is something for all ages to enjoy from beginning to the end of the museum. Yet, I would suggest it’s more appropriate for kids 5 and older due to some of the frightful displays and the objects with lengthy information that required reading. It’s no fun if someone is terrified or is having difficulties trying to perceive the explanation of something. Make sure to help out. The crowd level was low as it took up only an hour and a half to reach the finale of a dark, spinning vortex tunnel. This was such a fun way to end a night out.

We had a lot of fun at Ripleys Believe It or Not. What was really interesting was the wax hands portion which really makes it fun for couples. You walk away with a really ornate display piece that you can put on display in your living room. We did some wax hands and they are lovely. The other portions of the exhibitor very interesting and we really enjoyed ourselves. Make sure to hold onto the rails when you go through the tunnel or you will lose your horizon.

The name speaks for itself. Most people are familiar with Mr. Ripley but to see some of the things that he has seen is truly remarkable. I loved being able to experience for myself what he spent years doing.This is a fun place to visit and will also leave you with a feeling of awe and wonder. Truly an experience you must do at least once

Review №76

It was a very nice place! To me, it was really fun, but it has two potentially scary/dizzying parts of the museum: one being in the medieval torture and punishment section, there is a part called the iron maiden. It is the gruesomeness of the artificial scene that may scare you, and as you step on the platform, the drawbridge shakes you a bit, which momentarily did scare me, with the eerie atmosphere. The other part is at the very end, a short bridge/walkway enclosed in a cylinder of neon green, pink, and blue spots and lines that revolve around the bridge. This is a masterfully crafted illusion to the mind, and if you dont move forward, you will get a little dizzy. There is also a route that will omit the bridge and lead straight to a gift shop with merchandise. There are many cool artifacts, from hand wax models to the headless chicken exhibit in this museum. I highly recommend this museum.

Ripleys is an amazing place and I have been to this location multiple times. Every time I go to this location something is different which always keeps it exciting when visiting this place. A cool thing too, is that you are able to take pictures and interact with the different artifacts from the Ripleys Museum while youre there. The staff is very nice and it is an affordable thing that is definitely worth the money and revisiting if youve been there before.

Pretty cool, enjoyed ourselves for almost an hour. Although the price makes it not worth recommending. Were Florida residents and the lady at the counter checked both our IDs and charged us $42 when the website says 50% off. But if you dont mind the price, it was a nice experience with clean facilities and in pretty good condition.

Cool place with interesting things. Some of it is educational. Reasonable prices for tickets. Get them online off their website before going and its a little cheaper. Might want to have some cash on hand because a couple exhibits take dollars or coins.

Great place, beautiful! Dont go during off season. Theyre usually in transition from season to season but still a good time. Parking kind of sucks during popular times as well. Id recommend trying to find another place to park if its busy and then just walk there. Other than that, its a great place for a photo op!

Review №95

This place is interesting and fun but I did have a problem checking in. On the website it says the tickets are good for a year after it’s purchased but when I came in for the second time they told me that I had to buy a whole new ticket and that although it’s good for a while year it’s not good after it’s been scanned. It made no sense.
