It had been a long while since I had been to this Ripley's location and a friend, on a brief visit, suggested that we go. I purchased the tickets online via a third-party about 2 hours before we arrived. There was an issue with the tickets, however, the Manager was able to quickly resolve it. I was surprised by how interesting some of the exhibits are and remembered seeing a few things from a long, long time ago. There are some interactive exhibits and curious facts throughout the museum. It was a little surprised at how quickly we went through the whole thing, given the entry price. Overall, it was cool way to spend a little time on rainy afternoon. One would definitely need to expand their plans if they are looking for something that takes more than an hour to do. read more

A very expensive, underwhelming experience. It feels big for nothing. You move through rooms quickly, with very little to look at and interact with. A lot of empty space and not much to read. I'd brought my kids once before, when we first moved to Orlando. It was kind of "meh" even then (my kids liked it more than I). Their cousins are in town for a few days and we were looking for something to do; when this place was mentioned the kids got excited and I figured I would give it another chance. It was as bad as I'd remembered, but it seems they've added an exhibit featuring ai, and I would say that makes it even worse. Furthermore, when we got to the area with the wax figures, they were blasting awful music so loudly we couldn't hear each other talk, while brightly colored lights flashed on and off. (Isn't it enough to look at these cool wax figures? Why you gotta assault our senses too?) Any way. We were done with the entire place in maybe an hour, then my sister felt compelled to demand the kids turn around and go back to get "our moneys worth" but the kids were "we already saw all of this, cant we go home?" You couldn't pay me to go back. (Giving 2 stars as an average; 3 stars for the first time, 1 star upon return) read more

Ummm.... Not sure why this is $87 Yes, we did add on the mirror maze, but at this price point it should have taken us more than an hour to it both. Most rooms were good, filled with things to intrigue us. One, though, felt as if we were in a storage garage. Just shelves with old or unused items that an owner doesn't want to trash but has no use for. Also, there was a sign in one room stating that on March 20th there would be a demonstration for wax hand dipping (maybe the right name of that activity). Our visit was on Friday, March 20th. We were standing at the counter three minutes past the start time, yet there was no one there. It didn't even look like it was set up for a demonstration. We waited in that room for five more minutes looking at the few things, but no one arrived or poked their head in to say things will be a bit later than the posted time. As far as Ripley's goes, it isn't bad. Charging as much as they do is the issue. It isn't worth the price, it doesn't provide a long enough experience to justify going more than once in a life time. 11.04.2026 read more

This is more like a 3.5 star review, but I'm being generous and rounding up. It was roughly $45 for my son and me with AAA discount. We spent mayyyybe 45 minutes there. There is a lot to see and you could easily spend more time there, but we had to pick someone up at the airport. This is a one and done for me. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't rank it among the Orlando "must do" attractions. My son enjoyed it to an extent, but towards the end I think he was ready to move on. It wasn't crowded, so that was a plus and the exhibits seemed well-maintained. There are some interesting things on display and I especially liked the true crime area. My son loves toilet humor, so the "fart button" in the restroom was quite entertaining for him (it made me chuckle a bit too). read more

An interesting indoor activity to do in Orlando. Geared towards adults and families but not young children. This museum takes about 45 minutes to an hour to go through and is filled with all sorts items to ponder! read more

We have driven past this museum 100 times and finally decided to visit with three adults and my nine year-old daughter. Some of the exhibits were creepy and scary. My daughter was freaked out. For the adults, it definitely had some interesting facts and displays. my daughter made the wax hand for an additional fee. This was an amazing experience and Brian at the Wax hand center is phenomenal at his job! He was patient, presented all options, and even dipped his own hand to show her what to do. This made the museum worth it! Thank you Brian! read more

Ripley's Believe It or Not! - Wax Hand (additional fee) - Museums Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Come for the shrunken heads, stay because you actually learned something your high school never taught you. Every city worth its salt has a Ripley's Believe It or Not!, and Orlando's version is no exception -- a crooked, off-kilter building that looks like it lost a bar fight with an earthquake. It's kitsch, it's weird, and it's absolutely irresistible. History flex: Robert Ripley started the whole thing back in 1918 as a newspaper cartoon featuring oddities from around the world. Fast forward a century, and now we've got entire museums dedicated to shrunken heads, two-headed animals, and portraits made out of chewing gum. If Ripley were alive today, he'd probably be running a viral TikTok account. The Orlando Odditorium delivers exactly what you want: a warehouse of the bizarre where you always walk away learning something new -- like how tall the world's tallest man actually was, or that some lunatic really did build a car out of matchsticks. It's half science, half sideshow, and 100% entertaining. And here's the thing: no matter how many Ripley's you've been to (and yes, I admit it, I always end up going), there's always some new curiosity waiting. It's part museum, part carnival funhouse, part fever dream. "This is humanity at its strangest -- and maybe its most honest." Because Ripley's celebrates the weird, and let's be real: the weird is way more fun than the ordinary. It's touristy, it's quirky, it's odd -- and that's exactly the point. Whether it's your first visit or your tenth, Ripley's Orlando is a guaranteed detour into the bizarre corners of history and humanity. read more

I enjoyed this place so much. Coming here will bring out the kid in you. While having fun, you will learn a lot of interesting facts. I don't want to ruin the surprise and you should come see for yourself how cool this place is. read more

We had a great time exploring with our granddaughters ages 11 and 6. Plenty for all to see.

So much fun to be had! We were acting like kids again, pushing buttons and interacting with the exhibits. Lots of laughs. read more

Was a very fun and interactive museum would definitely go again!! My favorite part was the wax hands!

The exhibits are all very cool and informative and the mirror maze was so clean and well kept we had so much fun! For a Sunday during the summer it wasn't busy surprisingly. It's such a cool spot to visit and learn about things you wouldn't really learn about anywhere else. I love the interactive exhibits, and the space room was definitely my favorite. They have a hand wax area which is a very customizable and one of a kind souvenir, I'm not too sure how much it was since we didn't do that. The gift shop also has a lot of different items and they definitely have something for everyone. It's such a cool place to visit for people of all ages since they have something for everyone! read more

I first read a book about Ripley's Believe It or Not in elementary school and have loved hearing about it ever since. I was ecstatic when I learned we would be able to visit the museum while in Orlando. I absolutely loved being able to explore the exhibits with my husband as well as my best friend. I am so glad we got to experience Ripley's Believe It or Not as a group because we are the weirdest people I know, making us a good target audience for this museum. Thanks for a great time Ripley's! read more

This is the life size Ripley's pinwall at Ripley's Believe it or not attraction on International drive. You can put your whole body in it instead of the hand sized toy. I'm a fan of oddities and cryptozoology. I believe in the Loch Ness monster. I just read up on Robert Wadlow who was the tallest person in recorded history after seeing the replica of him here at Ripley's. Dude he was the size of a 15 year old kid at age 6. Yikes! My son and I had fun here at this tourist attraction. He liked the different kid humor pranks hidden throughout. The sign said "Don't open the box." "Open it up." "But it says not to." "Do it." "I'm scared." Ahhhhhh! Try to grab the diamond inside the big mouth. Ahhhhhh. My son's favorite was the crooked room and the swirl tunnel at the end. There are a lot of interactive touch exhibits for kids. We played with a giant "litebrite" type wall too. It's a fun place to bring kids. There is a FL resident discount. There are also free touchable fertility statues in the lobby. I touched them. Who knows what could happen? read more

Orlando has a lot of interesting things, circus, memorabilia, Egyptian artifacts, but I think it is over priced for the time spent there. Two hours is plenty of time to view it all. San Antonio Ripleys it's much bigger and took us well over four hours to walk-through. read more

The museum is entertaining and has lots of free parking. It is self guided, so you can go at your own pace. It is expensive at $26.00 for adults, so a family would be extra expensive. The museum is nicely air conditioned. I saw everything in under two hours. Don't miss the restrooms! Children younger than 12 probably wouldn't find the museum very interesting. read more

The museum is fun & interesting, but it is a bit expensive for what it is. It's $40 for one person (adult) and that included the mirror maze next door which is definitely more for children and takes 5 minutes to go through. It is a nice unique activity and the whole thing takes maybe an hour. read more

Great value for the money. The exhibits combine entertainment with education wonderfully, and each room has its own unique theme. They've recently renovated a number of the exhibits, and everything was working when we visited. read more

Very well done museum for both adults and kids. Fun and interactive exhibits, However it was much shorter than I had expected- only took us about an hour to go through it. Also thought the ticket price was pretty steep- and they should charge max $20 instead of $30. read more

Very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the exhibits and entertainment value of this attraction! Considering so many of the tourist venues along International Drive, my expectations were not high but it didn't take long to realize that Ripley's had higher standards. Exhibits were well-presented and many interactive covering a variety of topics. Two thumbs up and highly recommend. read more

We wanted to check out Ripley's and I can say it's everything that I expected from Ripley's. You can save $3 by purchasing your ticket online or if you forgot and you get there, they honor it - or for that day they did since we were on our phones about to purchase the tickets online. For the price that we paid which was $18.99 per person, you don't really get much. I mean, there wasn't much activity or much to look around. It wasn't a blast and it wasn't worth the money but I can say that I've been and it will definitely be my first and last visit. Not much to see or do around the museum. read more

Review is for august 2021 When me an my wife went there while on our honey moon, us loving museums an such thought it would be great. Unfortunately there was almost no covid protocols and no one walking around to make sure kids ( without masks ) where not touching an hanging off all the exhibits. A women with about 7 kids just allowed her kids to run all over the place an touch everything. No masks. No social distancing. No Attendants or anyone to say anything. Gross. read more

First visit to Ripley's. Cool facts, we spent a lot of time going over everything. Took us 3 hours. The staff is very friendly and the wax masks are really creative to end with. A bit of wait time but the staff hands over devices to let us know when they are ready. Had fun, will recommend if you have an interest in learning about historical, creative and somewhat strange stuff. read more

My family and I visited this establishment while on vacation in Florida. It was a nice place to take the kids where we got to see the things you wouldn't see in a normal museum. You walk through at your own pace and get to read fun facts. The cost was a little high for a museum but I appreciate that they offer a military discount for the military families ( for a family of 6 the cost savings went from $174 to $130) Overall it was a nice place to visit. read more

I went here last night with my service dog who was in a dog carrying backpack since she's a small teacup shih tzu. She was leashed also inside of the bag with harness as ADA rules require. However when I went to this establishment the manager named Brian who was at the register said that no service dogs were allowed . I told him that he is not allowed to deny a service dog with tags , but he then said He can call his general manager , so a few minutes go by and he called again and said the the general manager was in the building but to busy to come to the front but that she said ok but that my service dog needs to be taken out of the carrier and on a leash walking . I told him that the place is dark , and crowded , I didn't want anyone to step on her by accident but didn't see why she couldn't stay in the bag because it's not like I'm blind and need her to guide me . I requested again that I'll wait to explain this to the general manager. While we were waiting he stated that he has two years experience with ADA and those are the rules , that they have to be secured and walking aide by side with you. When I requested he show me where it says that, he shows me the ADA site where it says they have to be leashed and secured and yes that's true but it says that there are restrictions as well. I did have her leashed and secured in the bag but he said no again that she has to be taken out and walking . This is ridiculous, I do have her out but not in places like airports , theme parks , crowded places where she can be stepped on accidentally. Never had these issues anywhere , included military bases . So after 20 mins or so , he says here she is , her name is Melissa , I looked at her name tag and it says supervisor on her name tag. Keep in mind Brian's name tag says manager , so I asked her how she can justify that I have to take my service dog out and she had no clue what I was talking about, so looked clueless of the whole situation so that's when I knew Brian did not talk to her. I even explained that I'm a director so I know that a supervisor is not above a manger . Brian then back tracked by saying " oh she's not the one I talked to, the general manager can't come , she's busy. I'm definitely filing a complaint with ADA on this business today . What a horrible experience. I have attached pictures of my service dog and carrier that I take here everywhere in, how is this now a better way to carry her in a crowded place? read more

Took my little one for his birthday to ripleys believe it or not and did the mirror maze next door as well! He absolutely loves seeing all the wax figures and the different things they have there. The mirror maze was a bit of a quick thing because there was a lot of people I'm assuming due to rain so it made it a little difficult to really get lost in the mirrors. It was a bit pricey but definitely worth it read more

Boring and not worth the money. It looks fun from the outside but it's pretty lame. Lots of stuff to read so boring for little kids who can't read. It smells terrible in there too.
