Always enjoy going to Ripley's locations and have been to many across the lower 48. They always have something new I've not seen at other locations. Good family entertainment for the price.

It's what you expect for the entertainment. Staff was friendly and they do a lot of history. I think is a good family attraction.

This was ok. I wouldn't go again but we had never been & were looking for something to do. $15 was a little steep for what was here.

I enjoyed this attraction, however, I don't think I would go back again. Once you have seen what they have here you've seen it all. I feel like each location has the same items so one time is enough for me. Don't get me wrong everything is pretty cool but not to see over and over again.

Loved seeing all the neat, unique stuff! Some of the stuff was so unusual. Things you would think you would never see. The little car, the human skull, etc..

The kids wanted to go, and we got the tickets, AND THEN we got the UPSELL....house of mirrors would be more $$$, and something else I forgot about. Overall, it's not too bad, but it seems more like a rip off trying to nickle/dime you about the extras. The place with the mirrors was okay...... Maybe because I'm not a... More

For a family this is too much to ask $ 15 plus tax for all of us, no thank you. Not worth it for what you can view for free in the book at the local library.

I though my kids, 6 and 11 would like it, they didn't. My 6 yr old was scarred of most stuff. My 10 year old thought some of it was good, like the animal exhibit. I don't think 90% of the stuff has changed since I went in it as a kid in the 1980's.

Tourist trap. SInce I live in the area and friends frequently visit some of the kids wanted to go there. I remember RBION way back when it was interesting but now it's just the same stuff that you get to see for a high price.

Ripley's is a fun diversion for adults and teens. There were several rooms that I felt were not appropriate (sexual or violent images) for my 8 year old niece, and I had to cover her eyes because you have to walk through every room. My older kids (19, 17) and husband enjoyed it though. Think carefully about taking kids younger... More
