Ripley's Believe It or Not!

We decided to add on Riplye's to our visit to OdySea because they had a promo that day where tickets were only $10. There were some cool things. The mechanical impersonation of the worlds tallest man was cool. Learning how they make shrunken heads, while gut wrenching, was interesting. It gave us all the heebie jeebies. The painting variations and the scultpures were interesting, but not really believe it or not material, although that one made entirely of discarded toys was super cool. It's not a place I would revisit, but it was worth the $10 for an initial visit.

The Science of Ripley's Believe it or not is a collection of oddities. This location is in what is known as the Arizona Boardwalk .......but there isn't a boardwalk but you can walk around and browse stores and eateries. Parking is easy because they have a big parking lot. If you have been to other locations of Ripley's you might be slightly disappointed because this is the smallest Ripley's that I have been to with less stuff. We came to see the Star Wars exhibit. We were very surprised that it was only a few items. My husband was fascinated with the shrunken head collection....I couldn't look because they turn my stomach.We enjoyed the room where you dance around and it all looks all psychedelic. I think everyone would enjoy this. It would be best to buy a combo ticket so you get a slight discount. We enjoyed Butterfly Wonderland.

Interesting things in this place. $24 is a little steep for three rooms and I didn't like the fact that after we paid he told us in so many words that we had limited time so we might want to hurry up before they close. It would've been nice if he said something before we paid and gave us the option.

This place is tricky to review. Now a days they way the world is with technology, gadgets and a fast paced life, a dinosaur museum may bore most on lookers. I took my toddlers here after they freaked out when a butterfly landed on me at the Butterly Wonderland. Go figure that they enjoyed the dinosaurs more. This was a very nice exhibit. The theme in the area around this mall is dinosaurs with the Pangaea Grill and another dinosaur adventure below. It is super quiet here during the week.

This traveling exhibit is in its final week (Sept. 2022) at the Arizona Boardwalk Center (second level). Don't expect it to be like any of the Ripley's Believe It or Not locations around the country. There are many hands on interactive things for kids like you see at the Arizona Science Center. The most interesting thing is the tallest man Robert Wadlow display sitting, then he moves and stands. That was pretty cool.There were a few interesting things, but we walk through this in less than 15 minutes. Not really worth the admission price. Meh.

HUGE letdown! Way overpriced! Boring! Outdated! Embarrassing that we actually took out of state company there.

Had a ball here with my husband.. love learning together! The best thing this place isn't so crowded... I don't even remember seeing anyone so pretty COVID safe!If you do the riddle card and fill out all the answers correctly you get a coupon for free candy at the sugar drop, which we received a bag of Jelly Belly candy.If you are in this area visit this spot you will learn a lot of fun facts and see tons of unique things and history.My husband most importantly wanted to size up Robert Wadlow the tallest Man Ever! Robert was a sight to see!

I have wasted my money at other Ripley's locations before, and I didn't expect too much from this one. They lived up to my expectations. It is a small site, divided into three sections. Some stuff was cool, some wasn't worth the time it took to look at it. But the place was very clean, air conditioned, and well maintained. the staff were professional and kind. Overall, it's a tourist attraction. I felt the ticket price was about fifty percent too high for the experience. I won't be visiting again.

We had the best time today! I want to shout out Gary, who was an employee there and actually had a tower he built on a domino in the ripleys book! He was so sweet to my kiddos and took the time to explain everything to the 8 year old who had 5 million questions. He even gave them ring replicas from a man that had huge hands. The place is so fun anyway but Gary made our experience incredible!

Mostly worth the money, but very small. Gary was so sweet and knowledgable about everything in the museum! He alone made the experience worth it. Very cute time killer/place to go with friends or family.
