Ripley’s Believe It or Not

Ripley’s believe it or not was our first stop in myrtle beach. I have always wanted to go but was always busy with other things. So I decided to take my 6 year old and I’m so glad I did. It was extremely reasonably priced and the staff was super friendly and informative. We had so much fun! Ripley’s is full of interesting oddities, historical facts and old legends. They have everything from the worlds most modified woman, shrunken heads to real mummified bodies. It was a great way to spend a few hours with my son. He was entertained the whole time and excited about learning about all of the new things he saw. Ripley’s regularly updates it’s inventory so we will definitely be returning on our next trip!

Had a groupon so I decided to take a look at the exhibit! It was interesting, I have to say that! Just wish it had been at a larger location. There wasn’t too much to look at unfortunately.

Very cool I just wish the rest of Ripleys was as good. But I love all the cool info on strang thing they had.

My Babygirl loved the Ripley’s Books so it’s awesome that we were able to take her! She loved the museum, she had so much fun! We loved it and we took grandma and Grandpapa! We had so much fun!!! Check out the cool pics!

Always a great attraction for kids young and old visiting downtown Myrtle Beach. Looks cool on Ocean Blvd.

The aquarium was spectacular. This «odditorium» was an absolute joke. It’s mostly reading. A couple interesting pieces of art. Way too much money for very little entertainment. I can’t see children enjoying this.

My kids loved the museum and mirror maze. Lee was an excellent salesman. Thanks for the awesome experience. If everyone were like Lee this world would be better. Customer service with a smile!

Good value for the tickets. Good place to take pictures Inside and out.

It seems like Ripley’s has a corner on the cheesy attractions in these parts. Ripley’s The Aquarium Adventure, Ripley’s Mirror Maze, Ripley’s Haunted House, and perhaps a few others. We went with the museum, having visited them in other cities, and thoroughly enjoyed our visits.
Of course it was pricey, about $ 30 for two tickets, but discounts are available if you purchase tickets to more than one attraction. Truthfully, after our visit, the price was not at all worth it.
First off, it was very warm inside the two story structure. Granted it was a hot day, but the AC was barely functioning, and it was very humid inside.
Secondly, the amount of exhibits were minimal and uninspired. Really, the highlight was right before the exit, and it was an exhibit about kinetics and dance. Plus there was no gift shop to browse, unlike other Ripley’s museums.

I first thought it was going to be a cheesy experience but I was clearly wrong. There was a lot of awesomely random stuff in there… Very cool interactive exhibits. Really took our time in there checking everything out. Loved the fact it wasn’t packed considering it’s off the Boardwalk. If you like taking pictures this spot is definitely for you.

The museum is actually very interesting.
Anyone who says it is on the small side would be correct, but it didn’t change the fact it was packed with unbelievable things. If you have children, it is worth it but there is a lot of reading that goes along with it. For me I enjoy being able to take my time and learning new things. It was informational, and it definitely made me believe enough to go home and do some more research on certain things we found in the place.
The only thing I have to say is the aquarium was definitely better but only do to location. The area the museum is in, isn’t the best. The blvd is often filled with lots of interesting people, not that good kind of interesting.
So try to go on a Sunday afternoon, or during the work week when they are less busy, the crowds can get ridiculous. It often times ends up ruining the fun you’ll have inside.
Also if you are military again they give a great discount.

THIS WAS HORRIBLE.
Don’t waste your money. Obviously, I did not believe it.
I was super disappointed that we wasted money on our trip here. Small kids might appreciate it because they don’t necessarily know the difference between good things and bad things.
Move on, plenty of other things to do in the area like the endless mini golf.

A complete Waste of money, for he price we paid to get in, I would have expected a lot more. In my opinion a rip off.

I thought it was cool to see all the different and unique things that ripleys shows on television. It has been a while since i went back, but i remember having a lot of fun there. I would recommend it for anyone visiting South Carolina. Good for people of all ages!

Very small but had some interesting things in it. I personally like the aquarium better and did not even want to go to this but my husband wanted to check it out. We ended up buying one of the combo ticket packs at the aquarium. The two cool things I really liked was the floor that you could step on and kick balls or smash ketchup/​mustard packets. My 8.5 month old daughter was super excited that she could take steps and kick balls. The other part of the tunnel at the end, which is neat. Other then those two things I would not waste my time or money to do this again.

I’ll tell you what I didn’t believe — how much money I paid; even with a discount, the cost is significant.
I’m not one who will usually balk at a high price; if I (or, in this case, my girlfriend,) I’ll do it. We wanted to go in and see the weird stuff inside, so we did.
The problem? There wasn’t a lot of it. The skulls and crazy weapons and clothes from Borneo and Polynesian islands are cool — as well as the weird animal cadavers and the like. You know what isn’t cool?
The worlds longest rope made of gum wrappers. Who gives a shit? Apparently, I did, since I just spent a boat load of money to see it.
How about a boat… made of SUGAR?!
Thanks a lot. I’ll head somewhere else next time, and just use google or wikipedia to look up weird stuff.

Would have liked to have seen some more interactive stuff.
The bathrooms did provide an experience that gave us a story to tell for many years. My BF’s grandmother and I were in the bathroom, and let’s just say, there’s an extra «surprise» in the bathrooms. Made for quite a few laughs once we figured out what was going on. I’m sure that story will be told for years to come at family get togethers. Embarassing!

Small but interesting. The aquarium was the better choice. I’ve been to Ripley’s Believe it or Not in Niagara Falls and felt this was a repeat with 1 exception — the tumbling tunnel was fun and amazing!
They have an elevator for wheelchair guests but it’s barely big enough for the chair and employee operator who arrives after pressing the call button.
Beware of the iron maiden!

What a great interesting museum! So much wierd stuff in here great for the kids they really like this place. It’s definatly a time killer if nothing else you can spend a good bit of time in here reading all the wierd and quirky stuff, definatly worth checking out
They also give military discounts which is great

The first time I was here was fun. Maybe because I’d been to Ripley’s in Orlando, but it felt like there was quite a bit of «repeat» information from the other museum. I only returned the 2^nd time because my mom came to visit and the military discount makes my ticket pretty close to free.
It has a lot of interesting information and I enjoyed a lot of the people-​submitted exhibits. There are few surprises and scares your first walk through, but unless I had family or friends visiting that wanted to be tourists, I wouldn’t go again.
The farting machine in the bathroom IS pretty funny. I’m not one to typically find gross out humor funny, but when another woman and I were in there alone, both of us couldn’t help but giggle with the obnoxious crudeness of it.
