Even with using a Groupon, this was still a pretty pricey event for what you get at this location. I have been to other Ripley's exhibits and they were much more exciting! They just had more things to look at and what they had was much more exciting to learn about. They contained much more interesting "Beleive it or not" recordings. This location has only a few interesting head turners and not as many items in general as other locations I have been to. Much of the display was something that needed to be read or turned on by a computer to sit and watch, therefore, younger children lose interest as they aren't able to read and only able to be stimulated by objects they can look at.Hollywood still has their exhibit, it's one to take a look at. Pros for this location: The world's tallest man, the snake in the middle for the kids to play, the Dino out of tires, and robot and the motion screen. The boys of course, loved everything 2 headed.

I brought the family here on Sunday, the 28th. The gentleman at the front desk, Gary, instantly made our decision to come here worth it. He was polite, funny, informative, and coolest thing - an actual Ripley's Believe It Or Not contributor! Make sure to see Gary's display while you're visiting (Selfies with Gary are welcomed!). We were blown away by the actual skeleton of deformed cows, a brick from the Yellow Brick Road, real shrunken heads, and some amazing art that is so small that you need to view it through a microscope! Thanks, Mr. Ripley and Gary! Recommended!

This was a nice place to visit over the weekend. Not crowded no lines. Tickets were quite expensive for the square feet area of the museum, but it was educational. The cashier/attendant who helped us was actually on RBION and has a display of what he did. A lot of reading, there are 2 screens to watch though, one of which may be too sensitive for others. Otw it was a nice place. Oh, regardless if you buy your tickets online or in person, you still have to pay the processing fee for your tickets. Ask for veterans discounts, if it applies to you.

Loved it could spend the whole day..little part of it was closed so big price for 45 mins of fun..we will come back and finish our visit. Not for kids under 5 they get bored and are very afraid of some of the articles in the museum my grand kids just cried and other kids cried when the seen the tall man and other displays and hard to take part in the place when kids are younger than 5 you can't take the time to read the information about what your looking at sad 😢

This place is such an overpriced joke. Took my son here this past weekend. You could be completely done with this place after about 10 minutes. Not much to see or read about, and over half of the screens to watch stuff on were out of service. They advertised having “props from movies” as a huge selling point… there were a total of 4 props, in horrible lighting. Just save your money and do something else.

I took visiting family members to the Boardwalk and Ripley's was by far our favorite. It's a small space by adult standards, but it was perfect for my 8 & 9 year-old niece and nephew. Lots of interactive exhibits to keep them engaged. It wasn't crowded so we could enjoy the exhibits without feeling pressured to move on. We were there for a little over an hour. Lots of interesting information to learn!
