One of my favourite things to do is to visit Ripley's, great for keeping the kids and visitors amused and good way to waste half a day in the tourist spot of Surfers! Well done Ripleys!

This place is a good activity for the whole family. Good to kill a couple of hours out of the sun. Very easy location in the heart of Surfers Paradise.

I loved all the interesting exhibits to see, though did find it a little long to get through it all. Well worth the money. I recomend to everyone who is visiting surfers paradise.

Fantastic as always! Second time I have been and managed to kill a few hours walking around all the displays. Interesting for all ages would probably go back again if I went back to the Gold Coast A++++

Went during the Easter break. Thankfully wasnt too crowded. The staff was pleasant. The collection begins rt from the entrance itself. The collection could be improved by making it more interesting. The entry fee is high.
