I was extremely excited about going to Ripley's but was a bit disappointed once there. It was a very small Exhibit and it was a bit boring- not a good place for Children. We went thru it pretty quick and I just thought it was too expensive for the short amount of time. We later went to Wonderworks down the... more

When I went to Orlando I was looking for something other then Disney/Universal related and I found Ripley's. This was the first time I had ever been to a Ripley's Museum and my boyfriend and I had a great time. The collection of things was quite strange, but that is what makes it so great, it is not your typical... more

We read the reviews on Ripley's before going, and they were all over the map: some folks loved it insanely; others said it was the worst ever. The reality, of course, is somewhere in the middle. I will try to describe what you will see and then you can decide whether it's worth the effort. The Ripley's organization has made... more

Only in a tourist mecca like Orlando could this place survive. Admission is $18+ per person (a dollar or so less with coupons, available at the museum website), and the trip through the exhibits takes about 45 minutes. The content of the museum is straight out of a human freak show--the world's tallest person, fattest person, person with the longest... more

My Wife and I and our 2 teens had a good hour here. There are some v interesting exhibits including the strange tunnel that makes you fall over !!! But a little steep - def worth a visit, but pass if you are on a budget, more

This was a great use of our time. We had a lot of laughs in it, but it helps if your company is funny already. You could go through this in about an hour and a half, but you can take as long as you wanted. It is pretty pricey, so bring coupons. They have them in about every brochure... more

It is different from the norm. The admission fee is a little steep for what you get. My daughter (10 yrs old) and I loved it. My husband was a little grossed out and really didn't like it too much. more

I paid over $35 for my son and I to visit this museum. It looked interesting and I thought it would be a good one-two hour filler during our vacation...WRONG!! The most interesting thing about this museum is the outside the way the building appears to sink in the ground. Folks, don't waste your money and time. There is nothing... more

Okay, the first believe it or not was the 43 bucks we paid for two adults and a child to get in. This part kind of makes you feel like you've got to make yourself like it. Ten minutes into it, I just couldn't fake it anymore. Here is what it consists of..... A bunch of pictures from the Ripley's... more
