6 reviews for Ripley's Believe it or Not!
This place is old and dated. I couldve thought of a few better places to spend my 80$ (family of four) suring our trip to Orlando. We went thru it in about 20 minutes....
Always an interesting place to visit, I had been to a couple other Ripley's 'museums' before this one, and I have to say this was the most impressive. I found a coupon on http://www.destination... for a $30 savings, which made it that much better. The matchstick car was just astounding, and the two-headed animals they had really blew my mind. Regardless of whether the stuff inside was real or fake, It was a very interesting and engaging visit!
The only time I'll ever recommend RBION to anyone is if he/she has completely exhausted all of the tourist options on a rainy day in Orlando, FL. Much like the previous reviewer had mentioned, RBION is a bit overpriced. However, I wouldn't go as far to say that it was a complete and utter waste of time (err... 60 mins); I learned a few things here and there from the self-paced tour inside the slightly askew building, albeit of the dubious kind. For an extra dollar, I even had my fortune read by the gaudy looking fortune telling machine. Of course, it was vague enough that I can't say it's inaccurate. A great souvenir nonetheless.
Does this "museum" merit a return visit? Most definitely not.

Another tourist trap on I-drive. I would say it's definitely worth seeing at least once. Some of the things you see in there are very interesting. The fattest man, the biggest tongue, the longest neck, tallest man, etc. All the freak-show hocked up pituitary cases from the past are eerily immortalized in this huge museum that takes about an hour to see. Enjoy!

Hahahah, I love this place. I know the other reviewers are killing this place but it was fun. It is fascinating and takes up an hour or so of your time. Lots of fun things to look at and do. Maybe it is a guilty pleasure of mine, I don't know. I think it is worth the money, maybe not with kids but my wife and I had a great time!
They've got some interesting stuff. But it just isn't worth the money they ask for admission ($18.95 for an adult, $11.95 for up to 12). The shriveled dork on the ceiling near the entrance really says all you need to know. Though, if you have time to kill on International Dr, you could definitely do worse. The place suffers from a tie-in to that insufferable Ripley's TV show that was on some years ago.
