It was priced a little high, but they offer a military discount which helped because I have a large family. There is a lot of reading involved and it was crouded in some areas, but there was a lot of interesting information. My 5 year old son loved it, but since he can't read he was consistantly rushing me. I would say it's not designed for kids who can not read.

Didn't meet expectations.

I didn't like this museum very much at all. I'll start with the positives though. The staff were very nice and a few of the exhibits were interesting. For the most part though it was very bad in my book. A lot of the exhibits seemed.... cultish. They had some parts where I had to teach my younger brother what was wrong about them. And even ...
I thought well this may be different but we had been to the one in TN a few times! However it was exactly the same and nothing new! So if you have been to one you have been to them all!

On our recent trip to Orlando, due to an uncomfortable sunburn, we decided to make a stop a Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum in Orlando, Fl. It was definitely a fun detour to our vacation. I really enjoy learning about odditities and interesting facts, so I had a really good time. There were exhibits there for kids, adults, males and females. ...

some of the "artifacts looked fake and personally i think the price is too high...i would reccomend this to people who are really gullible and believe anything they hear
This was an unusual museum like atmosphere very interesting information and exhibits but this is more a place for brainy teenagers and curios adults. Maybe a precocious child would enjoy this place because is a very interesting learning experience but in general this is not an exciting childrens activity. We liked it well enough to consider bringing family and friends after a long day.
You go to Florida for Sun and Swimming. If it rains, which it does quite a bit in Florida, I would recommend Ripley's museum for something fun to do until the weather clears. A bit pricey for what it is. I would recommend finding a coupon or use AAA.

My husband and my daughter have been visiting Orlando atleast twice a year for a few years now. We had always passed by ripley's but didn't stop by until last year. It was okay. There was some cool stuff. Most of the stuff isn't for kids ages 11 and younger. There is a lot of reading. My daughter was excited about going but she ...
