I do not understand some of these bad reviews. What did you think this place was? I love Ripleys Believe It or Not! I think this was actually the 3rd one Ive visited so far and none of them ever disappoint. It has everything you could ever want. From the cool, to the weird and even the scary. I cannot wait to find another and see what kind of strange things Ill get to observe. Plus, the cost of admission is not that crazy which is nice for a mainstream place like this.

Awesome stuff to look at and tons of interesting information that you would have to see/read to believe. We got there close to closing time and never felt rushed to finish our tour either. Very good combo of service and entertainment.

Although I went to the Panama City Beach location, I wanted to leave this review for an employee there who was so polite and kind! He told me he came in to work from the San Francisco location to help out. I believe his name was Sharbel, (I wish I could remember the name, so hopefully thats correct) He was seriously awesome! He explained everything to me and my friends about all the attractions (a couple times, cause some things I was confused on) and had a smile on his face the whole time. His friendliness was very refreshing. Great employee!

As a kid I have always wanted to go inside a Ripley believe it or not. Im so happy that I could do this as an adult and share this experience with my daughter. We both had a good time and were amazed at all the cool things in here. We spent about an hour and half here. Well worth it. Got a good deal on groupon.

This was a fun and unique experience. We have been to the Ripleys in Newport, Or. and this was such a different experience which made it even better! Great place for family fun. The employees were very nice, which is not a common thing it seems. The mirror maze was short but fun and same with the lasers.

If weird is what you want, then this is the place. My kids didnt like the spookiness and there arent much hands-on activities either. I wished I had skipped this experience. They did love the super hero characters outside though, and the shadow camera.

The interactive displays are closed but the mirror maze completely made up for that!

Went here once a few years ago, the spinning tunnel made me feel weird10/10

Super Fun! Loved it! Perfect for the whole family!

Worth the trip!! Ive seen this passing by the pier all the time but never went in. A lot of fun and a lot of content. Should last you about 90 minutes

We had a blast and with a groupon got a decent discount. I couldnt do the laser escape because Im pregnant and unable to jump and crawl around, but it seemed fun. The exhibits are interesting and laid out in a good way. I enjoyed the train room and all the motion inside it.

Kids absolutely thought this was the coolest thing!! Lots of fun things to look at and explore. It took us about 2 hours to slowly walk through it all.

It was fun and interesting. It has its main museum portion and then two addition attractions at an additional cost. I thought the main museum was fun, but I am just terrified by wax figures and there was a good amount of those so... The additional attraction Mirror Maze was my favorite.

If you want a couple of hours of feeling uncomfortable, this is the place for you! Not because of the creepy weirdness of the most tattooed woman or the lizard man, but because so many of the artifacts Ripley gathered seem more like culturally significant items that were taken from their rightful homes. Ripleys love of Africa and Asia feels more like a fetish than a genuine interest. Spend your money somewhere else.

Much more fun than youd expect!

It was pretty cool. The mirror maze was a blast, my kids really liked it. I would recommend checking it out if you never have.

Fantastic experience. If you liked the tv show, youll love this.

I loved the smoke, mirrors and oddities. Quite a lot of fun. It’s located alongside the sidewalk near the water.

This place is great but not for smaller kids.

Pretty interesting. They have great bathrooms fyi.

The last maze is really fun for all ages! The mirror maze was surprisingly tough. The flash room was really cool. Make sure you try writing on the wall with your phone light.

Amazing if you love weird and interesting things its a must I loved every second of it.

Enjoyed all the interesting information and had fun with the family!

Very nice amazing place for the family you learn new things...

Had some interesting things in here. My son is younger so a lot of things scared him. We decided to try this place out of curiosity. It was not bad, would be best for people who are interested in crazy things. Although not my scene, it wasnt bad for what we paid. I would suggest some of the sounds be toned down a bit.

This place my kids loved it

It was really interesting, but I think it wasnt worth the money. We paid 23$ p.P. Wouldnt go there with kids, it will be boring for them, if someone is a Ripley-Fan, than it will be the best ace to go

Cool place to go an check out lors of fun

Its good but there should be more stuff. I feel like theres not much you can do there.

I thought that Ripleys and The Wax Museum were the same thing. Well there not Ripleys has interactive toys to play with. Including a flash gun and others. Check it out you wont regret it.

It has been at least 25 years since we last visited. It was great to see some of our old favorites but there are a ton of new interesting exhibits. We also really enjoyed the interactive displays. Lots of fun!

Its a pretty cool place to go if you feel like doing something touristy. Theres a lot of history inside these walls and its a very interesting experience. The layout is a little confusing but manageable there are many fun interactive things that you can do. There are a lot of opportunities for pictures and its a really fun great experience!

We got the admission for this included in the GO pass and decided to hang out here to look at the interesting exhibits.

Great place... We were watching this show on TV, now finally saw some stuffs personally

Really gimmicky and cheap. Almost kinda sad actually. Still it was mildly fun especially with a significant other or a group of friends. The one in LA is way better. The little spinning tunnel you walk through is awesome tho and the pyramid of mirrors thing was cool too. I was glad I went once but I dont think Id go again. If it wasnt included with the go card and didnt take long to go through I wouldnt have gone at all.

It was ok. I thought I bought the three feature combo on Groupon but I guess I didnt. But the maze and the laser race were a waste anyways. Those should be included anyways. Need more interactive exhibits, since was bored few minutes into it.

I took my 5 and 9 year old while on vacation in SF a year ago and it was awesome. They loved it and they still talk about a whole year later and they pull up their pictures of all the weird people we saw while there. The shadow picture thing at the end was awesome! I got soooo many great photos for my social media.

This is a fun place to take kids who are curious about the unknown. Having seen it about 4 times in my life I can say that Ive probably seen it all now but Ripleys constantly amazes with the bizarre and rarities in the world. This is a great place for children and adults alike, as long as you dont get sick from the stuff you see.It gets a little pricey when adding up admission costs but Ripleys is a must-see at least once, experience, so save up!

We had a great time, loved learning about Ripleys collection and seeing new things added.

It was a lot of fun. The pictures talk for themselves. I wont describe it so you can see it for yourself. I really recomend it.

Pretty cool location. Groupon made it worth the cost. Parking is atrocious.

So much to see..& do. They have interactive stations. You could spend hours in here taking your time to look at everything

Place is Cool! Interesting things to see, explore, adventure, mirror maze is confusing but a laugh/fun time.. lazier-gun

Ahahaha i love this place. We got a lot of fun there. Love the House of mirrors. Its weird and lovely. Try it!

Very unusual items. I enjoyed everything.

So much interesting stuff.

Creepy and fun for the family. Believe it or not, the 6 year old had fun, but was creeped out by the cannibal exhibit.

Its okay, but a bit overpriced. Youre not likely to spend more than an hour seeing everything they have to offer, so decide for yourself whether thats worth the ticket price. If you get a ticket bundled with something else you want to do, it might be worth a visit.

Had a great time here. Lots of cool stuff to see and try

WOW. So many amazing g things to see here. They even have a mirror maze which was not easy to find your way around. We thought there was an elevator to go down but it only part of the exhibit and scared us when the floor pretended to drop out from under our feet. There were a lot of creative art pieces made from nails and typewriters. Def. Do this if you are in the area. Worth it.

It is a good place to visit for all people that feel curious about freak history but real. Believe it or not.

So much fun for all ages. This is worth the visit. Does have a spinning room to walk through.

Amazing museum! It was very interesting tour!

Ive been wanting to come here for years, first stop in San fran. All employees were friendly and really seemed happy to work there. Lots of interesting things to see, interactive sections and lots of laughs with the mirror maze!

It has a lot of things... But in my opinion is for kids... There is a tunel at the end of the visit that is very incredible.

The traffic is worth checking this attraction out! It has great prices for 3 exhibits. The laser maze is a family favorite. There is a very nice man outside who creates a huge bubble spectacle for the children to run through and gives them balloons. Enjoy it and leave him a tip before or after your time at the exhibit. Best Ripleys Ive been to yet

Super fun! Great for kids and adults. Mirror maze and Lazer obstacles were very fun as well.

Way over price for weird none sense stuff... I rather to go spend that money somewhere better....

Its Different then a few years ago an thats refreshing! Love the fact that they employ a wide range of diversity in their Workers COMMENDABLE. FUN PLACE TO ENJOY

Its fun to go through interesting facts and some amazing activities. If you are running short on time, better not go here.

Creepy and amazing. Worth a visit.

Mr Ripley kept an interesting collection. Lots of facts and things to see to kept my boys interested.

Small, wierd and funny. This musem was better then I expected.

Incredible!! I was never displeased by anything there! Would definitely recommend to anyone!!

This is great is you, like us are freaks! I will say As a disabled person it was really nice to find a place with an elevator to the second floor. Nice job! People were really nice, there’s some really creepy stuff. Fun tourist attraction to get you out of that “holy cow it’s cold when the wind hits” moments.

We really enjoyed our time at ripleys. I didnt know what to expect or how to even gauge how much I enjoyed it. The best way I can describe it is like a freak show mashed with a museum. Nobody chewing on glass or swallowing swords but it wouldnt seem out of place. I found my jaw hanging open at some of the exhibits and it kept occurring as we went along. It felt like they focused on the opposite end of the spectrum of political correctness.

Always so fun... I love watching other peoples reactions. Great way to spend a few hours for sure

Im glad we had gotten an SF Go pass, because if I had paid full price for this attraction, I would have been very upset. It had some nice exhibits, but nothing really that would make me say I have to go there or go back there. I would say expect to spend maybe 30 - 45 minutes here.

Cool but not cool enough for the price they charge. Had buyers remorse the second half of the tour. It just seemed to be lacking interesting believe it or not but a few were interesting, not enough to justify the price.

Good place for a quick stop. The whole tour takes about 40 minutes. Some of the exhibits are worth seeing but overall, it is a pretty average place. Its not good to visit on its own but combined with a couple of other places nearby, its a good idea to cover this place too!

Some interesting info, but I am not convinced about their accuracy.. Like this.. Aurangabad is not in Bihar, India..

Fun but a little expensive if you only want 1 of the 3 tours they offer

It was nice, and yes, it was the weirdest place in San Francisco.

This was amazing. Lots of interactive attractions. There are two that you walk through but the signs telling you to walk through should be more clear, I missed the first one.

Quintessential Ripleys Believe It or Not exhibit. Just like the one they had on TV. I spent two hours going through all these interesting exhibits and still had questions afterwards. Definitely worth the time and helped out a rainy day. Id suggest going any time of the year. Very helpful staff and clean and inviting space.

Pretty cool place! A little pricey for the experience though.

Its far better than what I thought it would be. The hall of mirrors is pretty good and enjoyed the optional laser obstacle course at the end.

Had a great time. My 1st visit!!!

It’s full of fun and amazing facts. The spinning tunnel at the end is awesome!!

So much fun! The staff was amazing, the atmosphere was creepy and cool, and there was so much to do. I really enjoyed the Ripley museum, and would go back again. My whole family enjoyed it.

This museum is dedicated to the work of LeRoy Robert Ripley. Its packed to the rim with unusual items he acquired in his travels around the world as well as mundane articles from unusual people he met along the way. Its definitely worth checking out.

Super cool really fun believe it or not (:

Great place! Bring 10 dollars in singles to do the random things inside.

Very interesting facts. Will always learn something or be surprised, but lacks exciting children interactivity.

$25 per person to enter another world and see wonders from around the world. Great layout take your time and read all the info with the exhibits.

This is a great place for the kids, a lot to look at and some interactive exhibits. We did the package that included ripleys, a laser maze, and mirror maze. It was worth the price and good way to spend time in San Francisco.

Was an amazing experience to see the things here. California has amazing spots and this is one of those spots

Just average in my opinion, theres quite a bit too see and do here, but its not as extensive as I was expecting. I was expecting the experience to be longer with more interactive items similar to the mirror maze and laser room.

Very interesting! Great way to spend the morning or afternoon. Staff was nice and let us in last minute. I wish they would offer food but other than that,a great place.

If you are into weird facts and story better check this place out.

Very informative. Learnt a lot. Certainly worth a visit.

We were a little surprised at how expensive it was, but ended up having a blast! It was totally worth it!

This place was awesome to visit! If you like to see strange things and real stuff this is the place to go!! Staff was very inviting!! They should keep up with the groupon and maybe should of added food at fisherman’s warf!!

I enjoyed my time here! Thankfully it wasnt too busy I could take my time to enjoy what it had to offer. :)

I had so much fun with my family here, and they have decent prices

Fun but kinda pricey. Nostalgic from my childhood but my kids were actually a little freaked out by exhibits and they are early teens

Fun time for teens and/or young ones. Good place to kill an hour or two and be entertained. Lots of reading (but interesting stuff if you take the time to read it). There were several interactive exhibits to keep the kids interested as well. Staff was friendly and a good deal with the CityPass or a coupon.

Excellent exhibits and a lot of neat trivia and information. Its something I had wanted to see for most of my life, and it didnt disappoint me. It was really a lot of fun to go through.DONT FORGET TO GO THROUGH THE LASER TAG AND MAZE! YOU BUY IT ON THE WAY IN WITH YOUR TICKET PURCHASE!Ill most definitely be going back... Once we return to the Bay Area.

Well the review published was actually for a neighborhood bar wonder how it got mixed with a review for Ripleys .... as far as the museum is concerned it is definitely a place going to once, it’s such a blast from the past

This place is so much fun! I loved the mirror made and laser face as well. Well worth the price of admission!
