While I unfortunately missed the opportunity to visit this remarkable attraction due to its early closing time, its undeniable charm has deeply impressed me. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of making it a key part of my itinerary on my next trip to Branson. Although I didn't get the chance to explore the interior, I managed to take some truly captivating photos of its magical exterior, which I am thrilled to share with you here. Despite not stepping inside, the exterior of the attraction spoke volumes about the wonders that lay within. From the architecture that hinted at the creativity and imagination housed inside, to the vibrant and inviting ambiance that radiated even from the outside, every detail piqued my curiosity and left me wanting more. These photographs, though merely a glimpse, serve as a testament to the allure and promise of an unforgettable experience that awaits visitors. I wholeheartedly encourage everyone planning a trip to Branson to include this attraction in their itinerary. Don't let the early closing times deter you; instead, plan accordingly to ensure you get the full experience. Based on the enchanting exterior alone, it's clear that an adventure lies within those walls, promising both excitement and awe-inspiring moments for visitors of all ages. To captivate your imagination further, imagine strolling towards this mesmerizing place, with every step increasing your anticipation. The exterior, bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun, offers a preview of the creativity and enchantment that await inside. It's not just a visit but an experience, one that promises to be as enriching as it is delightful. In conclusion, while I may have missed out this time, the allure of this attraction has firmly taken root in my mind. It stands as a beacon of creativity and wonder in Branson, eagerly waiting to offer its treasures to those who seek them. Through the lens of my camera, I've captured its external beauty, and I share these images... 😁😜

We went to Ripley’s on 11/9/24. We enjoyed seeing all of the different displays of artwork/interesting facts. It was very interesting to read about the different pieces of history and facts. This would be a great place for families to go. There are fragile items that are easily accessible, so kids have to be careful when looking at/exploring the different art. There are different exhibits where kids can look through different scopes at things. There are also mirrors that are fun and distort your body in funny/cool ways. They have you take a group picture when you first enter. The picture turns out super fun! Unfortunately, the cost of the picture was too high for us after purchasing the tickets. The price seems a bit high for entry compared to other attractions in the Branson area. Buy tickets online if you are going. You can save a couple of bucks per ticket by doing so.

We paid nearly $60 for just 2 people and that was after a 30% military discount! The staff was great and you couldn't ask for better folks. The rest was just OK and definitely not worth the price of admission. There were some cool displays, but there were A LOT "displays" were just old Believe It or Not hand drawn articles from the past. The one in Arlington, TX(before it burned down in the 1990's) had some great displays like a telephone pole that had a 2x4 driven through it by a tornado. There should be more real displays. Let's face it, there's a great big world out there with lots of strange things that have never been seen. Ripley's corporate needs to get off their duffs and start traveling the world like Mr Ripley did years ago instead of living off past glory. One last thing, repainting Optimus Prime in front to try and make him look like a Decepticon ruined it.

The hi light was for sure the shrunken head. My only issue for being a person who is obsessed with smashed pennies, the machine only takes real dollars. Therefore, I had to drive to the nearest gas station to get cash and run back through to acquire said pennies (so worth it for the shrunken head smashed penny) but kinda a nuisance. Who carries actual monies these days? Wish they had an ATM or did cash back. If you have younger kids, I would suggest wonder works instead as they have more activities. Worth a visit though! So many fun facts and crazy exhibits! I did not do the add on of the laser tag and stuff so I cannot speak on that.

So much fun! The gift shop is so cool! There are lots of things to pick from. They had many different things from shrunken heads to animals made out of nails, from oddly made coffins to a tunnel that made you feel like you were spinning in circles. From cool artwork to the world's biggest roll of toilet paper. There was so much to see it was a new adventure at every turn. We had such a wonderful time. The staff was very welcoming and helpful too. We have seen so many odds and curiosities from the time we parked til the time we pulled out. This is by far the BEST one ever been to. Way to go Branson!!

Full of oddities and activities for the kids—it’s very on par with what you’d expect, so it’s not going to surprise you or anything. The kids loved everything! It’s a whole new experience to see in person the things that are in the books. There is a military discount (active and veteran), and they allow one person with an ID to buy tickets for the whole group. It’s something like 20% off! It’s not online, though, so you’ll have to go to the counter and show your ID. The gift shop was a bit of a bummer. There was almost nothing specific to the museum. It was all random trinkets and candies.
