Premium Review Ripleys Museum (Blackpool): Believe that this is a good attraction. (476 words)

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, ...  Read the complete review

This is a brilliant day out if you are in Blackpool and 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! ' Situated on Blackpool Promenade in front of the Pleasure Beach its very easy to find-just look out for the man climbing the wall and the big dinosar sticking his head out. 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!! They have alot of weird and wonderful attractions-the Fertility Statue being a famous ...  Read the complete review

My daughter is a massive fan of the Ripley's Believe It Or Not! series of books which chart details of all things weird and wonderful in the world so the Ripley's odditorium was one of the places we simply had to visit when we were in Blackpool over Easter. Who Was Ripley? Robert Leroy Ripley was born in 1890 and travelled to over 200 countries and reported on the strange things that he found in his newspaper column entitled Believe It Or Not! which was read by 80 million people a day at the height of its popularity. His first book was published in 1929 and the Ripley's series of books are still being published to this day with the 2009 annual ...  Read the complete review

Impressive collection of pieces, A lot on display given the size of the exhibition Timed entry means you can't guarantee getting in immediately if you just turn up, Some paintings are hung too high, Expensive, £3 for an audioguide?!

Amazing! Was overcrowded when I went

Interactive, well layed out, lots to see, Wine tasting included! Takes a lONG time, only fairly cheap wines for tasting, some areas seem rushed.

A good day out for all Experience the pollution of the past


Excellent for those who like whisky ! Expensive, could potentially cost a small fortune !
