Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum Review


The Ripleys Believe It Or Not museum in Branson has to be one of the strangest, and oddest reviews I have done over the years. Bizarre exhibits, mind blowing world records, off the wall collections, unique artifacts, optical illusions, and even a hologram bringing back the ghost of Robert Ripley! Family members of all generations will love Ripleys believe it or not museum. Laughs, bewilderment, and jaw dropping "awe" are just a few of the emotions you will experience at Ripley's.

As I sit here at my computer to write out this review several exhibits instantly came to the surface of my mind. The first had to be standing next to the wax figure replica of the worlds tallest man. I had seen pictures of him in a guinness book of world records book, but until you stand next to him you can't really put it in perspective. The man was two feet taller than Shaquille O'Neal!

Over 400 exhibits are on display at The Ripleys Believe It Or Not Museum. By far the largest exhibit has to be the worlds "largest ball of yarn". I wouldn't suggest attempting to break this unusual record, unless you have an unoccupied barn available and maybe a crane to move it around!

Shrunken heads, unusual customs, and fun interactive displays keep you enthralled throughout the self guided tour. Even the "cracked" architecture of the building will keep you standing outside the building with your head tilted to the side before you even walk in! Did you know that Missouri has the record for the largest earthquake in the United States? I think most would think that it would be California, but thats not the case. The Mississippi river ran backwards for three whole days!

Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum is located midway down the highway 76 main strip that runs through the heart of Branson. If you are coming with a family that has varied interests and tastes, Ripley's has something for them all. It really keeps your interest all throughout the museum.

Upon closing my review of one of Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum, I'd like to give you one helpful hint (I don't want to spoil anything for you). Be careful when you are looking in the mirrors at the beginning of the tour. You might be embarrassed later!! You'll have to go to the "show" to see what I mean!
