Ripleys Museum (Blackpool) Reviews
Newest Review: ... at 8foot 11inches. *Princess Diana portrait - made from 2500 penny coins Other attractions include shrunken trible heads, the worlds fattest man statue, two headed animals and various interactive machines such as fortune telling and penny presses. Various optical illusions are featured around the museum. There is also a gift shop as you exit the museum. As well as selling juice and various sweets such as rock and fudge, they also sell small toys and nick nacks. Personally I found them to be overpriced and cheaper items could be bought in the centre of Blackpool. There are no toilet facilities. {Our Visit} During our overnight stay ... more

Robert Ripley was born in 1890 in California. He was a cartoonist, a collector, an explorer and came up with the statment "Believe It Or Not". He was obsessed with the weird and wonderful things in life that are rarely explained. Now, his works are featured in museums and attractions around the world. My review discusses the Ripley's Believe It Or Not in Blackpool, Lancashire. {Location} The Blackpool museum is located a short walk from the entrance to the Pleasure Beach and is nearby the South Pier and Sandcastle. It is serviced by regular buses and the famouse Blackpool trams pass by it. It is hidden within a row of shops and restaurants ... Read the complete review

Ripleys believe it or not amazingly good for the price...... After a weekend trip to Blackpool with a few hours to spare before going home we planned on visiting the pleasure beach but running low on cash meant this wasn't to be so we gave this ago and I was really impressed with experience. Where to find it..................

What it costs........ On the day we went is ... Read the complete review

I worked for Ripleys in Blackpool a few years ago and really enjoyed working there. Ripley's is situated on Ocean Boulevard which is directly under the Big one on facing the sea front, it has man climbing a rope from a jeep rammed in to the front of the building , hardly something that you. would miss, as it is a strange thing to see!! It has many different fascinating articles that have been gathered from Robert Leroy Ripley's collection that he gathered whilst on his wild adventures from around the world, his collection is kept in the USA and various collections are shipped to the various museums Ripleys have. My overall view of some of the ... Read the complete review

Ripley's believe it or not! is a franchise of museum like galores that were founded by Robert LeRoy Ripley. The maint point of interest in these museums is that items are so strange and unusual that visitors might question the claims made in the details. There have even been TV, Radio & Book series of the same name. Originally the concept was a panel in The New York Globe newspaper telling a story & asking the reader whether they believe it or not. It has developed from there into the worldwide phenomenon that it is today. The one in Blackpool is located just north of the Pleasure Beach. The prices are Adult £8, Child or Senior £5, ...

This is a brilliant day out if you are in Blackpool and as they say themselves 'Located on two floors with 8 galleries and 10 televisions. It is fun for all ages, it's interactive and educational. Don't miss this award winning attraction! ' General Info Situated on Blackpool Promenade in front of the Pleasure Beach and opposite Sandcastle Waterworld its very easy to find-just look out for the man climbing the wall and the big dinosar sticking his head out. (or follow the signs!) The prices are reasonable-£8 for adults and £5 for children/OAPS but they do have print off vouchers on their website where entry is as little as £3! So a bargain day ...
