The outside of the building is extremely eye-catching and neat. The rest of the tour through the museum was simply average. A lot of the exhibits were very close and cramped and hard to see with the crowds. Didn't help that the guy in front of me had to take a picture of EVERYTHING in there. I didn't think it... more

Just another attraction to take your money. Not worth the $70 it cost our family of 4. Spend your dollars elsewhere. Most of the artifact's we had already seen on tv. more

This is a bad option for entertainment. The catchy things behind the clerk are the best items in the - I use this term loosely - museum. This is a complete waste of money. This attraction catches the attention of kids but many of the grotesque things are not appropriate from children. more

It's been a few years since we've been, but I remember me and my boyfriend spent a few hours in there. It's a little pricey, but full of fun and interesting things! more

I've gone through the Ripleys in New Orleans and this is almost exactly the same. The only difference I noticed is the moving tunnel has a different background. If you've seen any of the Ripleys believe it or nots than save your money and go do something else. For almost 13.00 you can do the sky lift or go play... more

I purchased the combo ticket with the Aquarium and chose the Ripley's Museum as one of our options. With the threat of rain we decided it was our best bet. We were sadly mistaken. The museum is a total waste of time, everyone in my party pre-teens and adults were bored and agreed we should have done something else. So... more

Not impressive. Lots of average exhibits. Not worth the price of admission unless you're really bored.... Lots of better places to visit and spend your money on. more

Amazing!

I've always loved the books and wanted to see what the museum would have to offer. And You know what? It was great! I loved seeing some of the stuff that i saw in the books but in REAL LIFE! And then seeing a peice of the Berlin wall! That was awsome! but some of the themed rooms are dark... more
