Visited March 2015
I had been to Ripley’s before but my husband had not so we decided to stop in. We had been walking around Key West for a few days & decided we had time to stop in here. There are some pretty cool things to see. If you have time or it’s raining, I would stop in but I wouldn’t make this a priority in Key West as there are so many other things to see. They had a buy one get one half off if you have a student ID, so it made it affordable for us.

Key West, FL
Overpriced for a single floor of oddities. 30 minutes at most. Some interesting facts but have seen a lot about most of them on TV.

Don’t waste your money. We did it to get out of the sun but honestly it was worthless!

Some pretty cool artifacts and exhibits as usual in Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! I’ve been to one of the other locations in San Francisco. Overall, staff was pretty nice and the place was organized and clean. As with some of the exhibits, some of them are too hilarious and others are creatively done!
If you want to save money on admission, check their website and purchase advance tickets for a discount, or see other travel discount sites!

As we were on our walk on Duvall st, we decided to take a look. The price was right, for all four us. Informative and great things to look at.
Staff: Gentlemen in the front was nice and one random staff member popped up as we were looking, startled me.
Had a great time.

Great place! Very interesting fun facts. Crazy part at the end when the room goes upside down!

North De Land, FL
This was pretty cool and fun for me and my husband but I personally love the original one in St Augustine, fl. Its much bigger!
As for this location, it was clean, staff was friendly, and it had many artifacts and riddles on the walls to keep kids entertained. Great for kids!

Great family fun! Definitely nice to get out of the heat for a few. The facts were interesting and there were lots of fun photo ops. My 13yo daughter even loved it!

Fun facts and educational but a ton of replicas which kinda makes it disappointing. Besides that it’s good entertainment.

This is the first Ripley’s that I had been to, and I really enjoyed it! A lot of really interesting things to see and experience! Bring your camera! I had a lot of fun here, and admission was not too expensive (also, look around for coupons, you’ll probably find some!).

Once you’ve been to one, you’ve seen them all. This particular Ripley’s and alot of them all have alot of the same things in them. the First Ripley’s I went to was in St. Augustine, Florida and it thus far has been the best, the one in Oralndo was pretty legit too.
They do offer military discounts for $ 7.50 admission however thery need to include a «Student» discount as well. Other than that same-​old-​same-​old. good place to kill some time and learn intresting facts as well.

Plantation, FL
Made a quick stop in Key West while on the Carnival Destiny cruise. We walked up and down Duval and after realizing it was too early to drink (yes, there is such a thing) we stopped in to Ripley’s.
We got $ 2 off admission right next door at the fudge place and sampled some delicious fudge in the process.
There are some super cool artifacts, facts/​stats, and displays that include: The worlds oldest woman to give birth, ancient torture tools, the man with the longest nose, headless rooster and art made from pennies, cassette tapes and gum balls.
The best was the insane spinning bridge at the end. Totally knocks you off balance and we took turns crossing it a few times each.
Although I wouldn’t consider it a MUST SEE it is cool for anyone doing the same cruise we did and considers 11AM too early for a Fat Tuesday’s 190 Octane. Although, the bridge will leave you feeling like you just drank 5 of them!

I believe that The Ripley’s Believe it or Not Museum is a waste of a building on this paradise island. I have visited this place in Orlando and it is fun for the kids, but Key West. Really? Everytime I walk past, there is no activity going on. What really annoys me is that it is in a perfect location between Duval and Front st. If you are absolutely bored, then please enjoy.

OK, so this is a tourist trap, and it was fun to walk through. My kids (nine and eleven) loved it.

There are so many great things to do in Key West that this place just isn’t good enough for the time spent.

Putney, VT
It was expensive — but a museum my kids, 8 & 11, really liked. Young kids and toddlers would probably get frightened at some of the more grisly exhibits. Be warned: there are also a bunch of sucker booths kids will be begging for (fortune telling, etc).

Since I have been to the one in Orlando, it was nothing new. The imagination and things you would like to believe seems like it’s not at times. I’m not being a party pooper, but I kind of wished they had things that were not found in another Ripleys. We were the only ones in there on an early Friday evening and it surprised me since the Orlando one is always packed when we go there. It is something fun and different if you want to take a break from partying.

I have been to a few of these off beat museums and I have to say they are funny and worth checking out. This one however is not in the right spot and quite frankly in party central Key West, is a desserted nightmare being on the main drag surrounded by bars and clubs. I would have to say the last thing I had on my mind was checking this place out, but did anyway on a rainy night and it was about the same as the others around the US. I don’t think this place gets much business seeing there are many other things to do in this area than visit here.

Ok, so i love these kind of places. I remember when i was little and there was one in Old Town. But if you have ever tried to steer a 6-​year-​old away from the New Guinea penis clamp or explain the mummified corpse in an airplane is «really just fake!» you may like me re-​think your next visit. It was all interesting stuff you see at Ripley’s but not worth the $ 15 to get in!
The only thing i wanted to go back and try again and again was the optical illusion bridge. Where it is a regular metal catwalk with lights rotating around it to make you feel like you are falling over to the left. So great! Makes you want to fall down and throw up (not necessarily in that order).
