This museum is amazing and informative. It is definitely a place for all ages, regardless of the weather.

This place was a blast! Had lots of fun attractions, and crazy facts. Very interactive and educational

The was so much fun the kids. A lot of chances the interact with the exhibit. It was not very crowded allowing for us to take our time. Overall the experience was great and very educational. I would definitely recommend it. I also recommend checking out the other Ripley’s attractions in the area and purchase your tickets using the U-Pick pricing, etc.
