Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum Panama City area location is more than just a museum of the strange and the unusual, but a collection of oddities housed in what appears to be a sinking ship, the S.S. Ripley. The oddity museum known as Ripley’s Believe It or Not “Odditorium” houses the bizarre, the macabre, the one-of-a-kind exhibits that have made the late Robert Ripley famous. The collection of rarities from moon rocks returned to the earth’s surface by Apollo astronauts to the Berlin Wall remnants salvaged from the rubble in 1990 that long separated East from West are compelling. « less

OK, not the thrill of my trip, but you've got to visit Ripley's at least once in a lifetime. Interesting if nothing else. You'll learn about the old days of circus stars and the newer people - should take an hour to waste time.

It was not crowded and that is nice. Even if the exhibits are not real (the eight legged calf looked put together) it was still fun. The jade boat was beautiful. The moving theatre was fun but Matt says an Indiana Jones moving movie would be better.

While in Panama Beach City, Florida I visited Ripley's Believe it Or Not. You should find one also in San Francisco and I believe you will find many similarities which is fine. It is a fun place to relax and go around seeing and reading about many strange and interesting facts.

Went with grand children and they were happy. The staff was rude and we were obviously interrupting their very important conversation, but they did finally manage to get us in the building. Very corporate feel to the place without any real attempt to avoid a cookie cutter experience. If you've seen one you have pretty much seen them all.

The staff was rude, and they lied they told me to come back in 30 min because they were doing something. Then I came back and they said they don't have movies that day.

Once you have seen one Ripley's believe it or not museum, you've seen them all, this one is no worse or better, I guess with 10 years old, it could be funny, but it certainly wasn't a highlight!

Ripley's is very educational as well as fun. We really enjoyed everything thing they had to do. Especially the Titanic exhibits. You will learn and see some exciting things.

We went to this Ripleys attractions on April 2, 2013. It was everything you would expect from a Ripleys attractions. There are many interesting things and some of them were very old I cannot speak for the 4D theater as I did not participate in that part of the attraction. If you enjoy interesting and strange things the Ripley's believe... More
