Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum











Robert Ripley was a cartoonist, adventurer, explorer, etc... He came across many wonderful and weird things on his travels. Ripley collected many souvenirs and along with these and recreations of things he saw, drew and wrote, you will find in the Believe it or Not museums.
We came across objects such as a model of the Titanic made from matchsticks to shrunken heads. Being interested in travel (obviously!) we found the museum fascinating. What was good about this museum as well was that it was open until midnight. We went in about 8.30pm and enjoyed a crowd free, leisurely visit to the museum.
Just for fun, we opted to go in the mirror maze and felt like kids running round and bashing our heads against the mirrors! We also went across a bridge that had the room spinning so it felt like you were going to end up upside down, Steph felt a little woozy on that one while you couldn't get Andy off it!
We loved the life size model of the tallest man that ever lived, the giant chair, the mini cars and the portrait of the Queen made out of one penny pieces. There were also recreations of the strange and wonderful people Ripley met on his travels. Well as Ripley would say 'Believe it or not!'

Admission to Ripley's Believe it or not museum is £25 per adult
