I went here for my birthday and at £30 per ticket it is the biggest waste of money I've ever seen!!! If I wanted to watch the show on TV monitors I could have stayed at home for that! The exhibits looked fake, lots of space unused and have to pay for extra attraction that really should be included when... More

We visited this attraction in the evening and we used a 241 voucher. We spent just over an hour here, taking our time to look around and take photos. I liked the tube which moved from side to side slightly with bright lights, your photo was taken while you were on it, you can go on it more than once,... More

We got a discount online beforehand and it included the mirrormaze which my boys (9 and 4). The museum is great, we loved all the exhibits and made sure we read... More

Used Tesco vouchers at end of Easter Hols to visit Ripleys. Family ages: 44, 43, 14 and 11. My 11 year old daughter has the Ripley's manuals and was keen to visit. We enjoyed the approx 3 hours that we were there, but only grateful that I used Tesco vouchers, as not really worth the £85 family ticket price. Beware... More

Me and my 2 nephews, both 11 visited Ripleys On a very wet and windy Saturday in April after looking for somewhere in doors out of the weather and somewhere we hadn't been before. TIP: Buy tickets online at www.365tickets.com as you can save a bundle on the normal entrance price, which having now visited Ripleys now, is steep for... More
