Definitely an awesome experience. Lived here for 4 years never knew it existed till i moved out and came down to visit. Was a recommendation from the resort im at. And well worth it. Great for educational and entertainment

Fun place to spend one hour or more. We went during the week and there were really few people inside. It was great to have the 4D movie theater just for us.

The family took an Thursday afternoon outing with the little ones to Ripleys (Williamsburg, VA)and the amazement of their first time visit was priceless. There were not many people at all this day and moving freely about was comfortable. There attractions were fun, as always, but they show these 4D movies that were so absolutely over the top. You experience the 3Dness with the glasses, but 4D you feel elevating the viewing experience. I was laughing so hard and screaming so loud! Simply the best. And...the rolling wheel you walk across with the laser lights moving at the same time had all of us balling with laughter. Such an awesome place for clean family fun.

This was awesome!! My family & I had a great time! Very informational. Loved the fact that there were different sections with information to offer. We also really enjoyed the games throughout the place. The staff was very accommodating and they were cleaning the exhibits in case people had touched them... very important during this pandemic. Overall, a time well spent!!

As a fan of learning about the weird and wonderful, this is a great place to burn an hour or two wandering around and arguing with your friends/family. Theres some stuff in here that does make you truly appreciate how different we all are and the things that a human can do when we decide to.

Great museum and good short films. A little pricey. No separate price for children and unable to use coupons since I confirmed I was an in-state resident although I traveled almost 2 hours to visit Williamsburg.

The 4D movie was fun. The museum could use a few more exciting exhibits/items, but overall it was cool. The kids enjoyed the games, though it costs extra to play them.

What a cool place! Its safe informational and the 4D movie is worth paying the extra cash I wont go any further because I dont want to spoil it for you! Dont let the size of the place from the outside to deter you from stopping in you will miss all of the fun!!

We had a lot of fun and the attractions were great. We checked out all four 4-D Films and had a blast!

A bit pricey, but very cool.

Good for adults and older kids. My young children (3, 4, & 7) did not enjoy it. The oldest was scared by many of the exhibits; the younger two were disinterested in most of it. Some of the exhibits were a little graphic. My opinion was that this was NOT young child friendly. The staff was friendly and helpful. We did not do the theater shows, so I cannot speak to those.

I had so much fun here. Expected to only spend 30 mins or so seeing as though it’s small on the outside but we were there almost 2 hours just exploring. The movie tickets that come with your tour are good for a year. Highly recommend for people or all ages. Will be back soon

The museum is awesome. 4D Lego experience was very fun and interactive. You get wet! The laser maze is fun...its like Mission Impossible with green lasers. The best part was Atomic Rush. Its like a black light room and a giant game of Simon Says...sort of. I almost smacked my son Brandon in the face, Brandon and Alaina collided into each other. Michael tripped into me...you run around like a maniac in the dark trying to hit all of your lit up lights. Its so fun! Definitely recommend...the staff were also extremely helpful and nice. Dont forget to buy some souvenirs too. We got shirts. Gotta check it out. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Was quite interesting. The young man at the ticket window was very pleasant.

Children loved it. They walked the museum twice and watched two 4D movies.

Nice staff and unbelievable museum. The shows were awesome

I’ve lived in Virginia a majority of my life and had never been here so me and my son had a blaaast. Very interesting and fun stuff. Look forward to going back sometime this year.

We went in years ago and not much has changed. It is still lots of fun to see, read, learn and experience. I knocked off a star because I dont care for all the games theyve installed around the museum. Great staff!

Fun interesting right way to spend the day it takes about four hours if you want to do the place right Jamie

This is a lot of fun. I really enjoy interesting facts.

Wasn’t bad but was a little disappointing. We were super excited about the movie part but was a let down when they didn’t have employees to operate it and was told to come back another time. Well when your visiting on vacation that’s a little hard. So I would suggest calling first

Not bad a little pricy and man that was working talked so fast noone could hardly understand him but other than that it was interesting

I went here 7 years ago with my daughter. It was great with our daughter mother day she loved it if she wants to go back at 17

4d movie was pretty cool saw all 4 of them

It was okay. My son was more interested in the interactive activities than the actual museum. Definitely not worth the price but its a tourist trap so I can get it. We live in the area and just wanted to try something we hadnt. The putt putt golf was run down, mosquitoes were terrible from stagnant water and overall a bummer.

This place is awesome. Great customer service.

It was a great experience 4D will blow your mind.

Almost just like the one in ocean city except with more interactive venues

Im always pleasantly surprised by Ripleys...but this one has been my favorite out of the 4 (NY, LA, Orlando, & Ocean City Beach, MD) I have visited previously. There is so much to be in awe of and the pictures I have included arent even 1/10th of what you will see. There are so many games and activities that are included with the cost of admission and the few things that werent cost .50 cents to a $1 and had coin machines near them.We even enjoyed the 4D movie here more than other places we have been. They were showing the Lego movie 4D and Happy Family 4D. The movie is included also in the cost of admission ($24.95 for adults, $19.95 children) and you can add the other movie for $3 extra.They have a candy shop adjacent to Ripleys that you automatically go through once you exit the movie. Its $3.00 per 1/4 pound and although its quite small, they had a pretty good selection.Also, there is a mini golf that is a part of this Ripleys called Catfish Cove, yet when we asked to have that included (an extra $7 per person), we were informed that its only from Thursday through the weekend and we were there on a Tuesday.The only negatives to this particular Ripleys was that the restrooms for both men and women werent clean...and on a Tuesday, it was eerily quiet, yet that can be a good thing for those of you who dont like crowds and who like to take your time going through the displays.Its just so much fun here though, there were a lot of Ooohs, Aaahs & Wows... so regardless of the Eww in the restrooms, Ripleys should definitely be a part of your Williamsburg trip.

Omg so much fun our family cant wait to go back again

Some cool stuff, kinda pricey but fun to do at least once. Some games cost extra.

Fist time ar one and i loved it.. Very entertaining. The 4D rides are great.

Really cool place to visit and really cool historical facts

A couple lost their picture in the museum I turned it into the front desk so if anyone knows these people or are these people your picture is at ripleys!!!!!

Such a cool place. Great for our almost 2yr old

I always love visiting Ripley’s. It’s a fun spot and a good way to spend a few hours and learn something.

Nice place to visit while in the area. For the price, I did expect a little more. It definitely won’t take much time to walk through and see everything.

Had a great time. 3d movies are great to the entertain kids and adults. The museum was very informative and interactive. Games throughout to entertain. Have to go outside after 3d theater and walk back in but stiil had a great time. Great service while there.

Great experuence to see oddities of nature and a lot of stuff

It was a good time it took 2hours to go through

A fun afternoon on a rainy day 3 hours of inside entertainment

Very interesting place to visit.. not everyday things.. 4D Movie was really fun the kids all loved it.. this place takes some time to see and theres lots to look at and read so having younger kiddos who cant read may become impatient..

We had a ball there. Love the place

Lots of cool things to see kids loved it

This place was a fun little stop for me and my family. Saw some neat things. Just kind of wish it was a little bit bigger.

Great staff and service. Museum was excellent

My husband and I took an impromptu trip today to this place. This was a fun little day trip. Many things to see and several fun games to play. Also watched the 4D movie, angry birds. It was really cute. We will be taking the kids back down this weekend. We had a really fund day.

Great for family fun! Has many hands on activities for all ages. Provides military discounts.

Very interesting experience, highly recommend visiting at least once!!

Very cool place. My kids loved it

Lots of interesting oddities to discover. The place was clean and easy to self-tour. The 4D movies were a lot of fun too.

It is kinda pricy, but you will not get bored. Tour takes you about an hour, and the 4D movies are the best but they last about 15 min.You have to buy tickets for the museum, 4D teather and other stuff separately and or as combo.Husband, me and kid paid $63 including everything they offered.(This price was with military discount)

A smaller museum but as always interesting items.

Cool museum and theater. Very interesting as always like all the Ripleys believe it or not. Would definitely come back.

A fun attraction for families and couples alike, with lots to see and a few neat experiences for kids. Most of its replicas, but its still a fascinating place to visit.

Very fun and kid friendly place. My family enjoyed it, although some staffs were not so friendly but overall it was a good experience and mini get away for my family. Loved it

Great museum, tons of things to look at and info. Plus the 4D movie, laser challenge, and the light game made it different from the rest!

Fun family outing. Has some good exhibits and is definitely interesting. Not all the exhibits or games are in the beat of shape, and some were out of order completely.Its definitely not as good as some of the larger Ripleys Ive been to, but it was still a fun way to spend a couple hours and was reasonably prices.Overall I would recommend it if you are looking for something out of the norm to do on a rainy day.

Fun and interesting. Had a great time

It was a great first day of our family vacation! We had a lot of fun reading all the cool facts! It was an enjoyable time. We also enjoyed seeing our first 4-d movie!

More like a museum than a records place.Had a lot of cool items!

Lots of interesting exhibits, but a bit small for the price.

My son and I had a most enjoyable time. On a side note make sure you bring in some dollar bills so you can play the little mini games they have inside. Which are awesome!

Ripleys Believe-It-or-Not Museum in Williamsburg offers a variety of activities. Options include the Odditorium (museum filled with odd exhibits that Mr. Ripley collected from around the world), miniature golf course, and a 4-D Theater. You may purchase individual tickets or a combo pass to save some money. Check Groupon to see Ripleys latest deals.I visited the Odditorium which contains approximately 350 exhibits of rare and strange things from around the world. Check out a replica of the worlds tallest man, a 2-headed calf, see what old, used car parts can be used for and much more.Ripleys offers a number of hands-on exhibits and games throughout the museum. Test your skill and speed through a laser obstacle.Admission prices seem a little high. Checkout their website for individual attraction and combo pass prices. Parking is free at Ripleys.Guests are welcome to touch any exhibit that is not enclosed or surrounded by a barricade. Guests are also welcome to take pictures throughout the museum.

Completely worthwhile!!! Something Ive actually dreamed about going and doing as a kid. Now Im 27 and have two of my own and we all loved it! and theres plenty for the whole family to enjoy! And not to mention a general store across the street! as well as so many restaurants and activities! Believe it or not!

So this place has some of everything you might imagine. This particular location is small however most of the exhibits youre allowed to interact with which is nice for kids. Little kids have a harder time paying attention as a lot of the attractions are above where they can see or have to be read. Id say this is an age 8+ friendly. The 4d movie is cool. Plan to get wet if u attend it. Prices are a little high but if you catch it on Groupon its totally worth it.

Was very interesting.

Too many people crowded in every room. Saw several people not wearing masks.

It is a very clean facility with lots of exhibits. The best part was the laser exhibit. The kids were less than impressed but hubby and I liked it. There are other larger locations but for the cost its decent. We did not do the 4d shows.The staff seemed to all be bored with their jobs but were friendly enough.

Good collection of items. Check out their 4D movies...be prepared for a physical, sensory experience.

Lots of crazy, funny and off the wall stuff. The games are fun too. Great family place

Great experience with my family, loved it

Cute museum interesting things too see, kids loved the laser game!! Definitely check out the movies (wear a hoodie to cover your face with of you dont want to get sprayed)

Lots of very interesting facts here! My 10 year old had a great time

Variety of things to look at and interactive games for all. Love it and would definitely go again

Super fun spot to stop and visit whenever ur in town! Fun exhibits, very informative & a very accurate fortune teller on hand...great for first dates and the future families they create! Check out the 4D movies they r a blast...literally

Tons of stuff to read and a few interactive things to do.The also have 2 different 4D movies to watch for extra money. But if you have seen one 4D movie before then no need to pay extra to see these ones.

Awesome place which will entertain any age and, really, any type of person. I personally liked the anthropological artifacts from tribal societies... The Burmese tattoo tools, the Maori warcrafts, and so many more. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoyed the place and Im a difficult person to impress. Will, the manager, was particularly helpful.

Absolutely amazing and fun. My sons obsessed with ripleys!! We had a blast Everyone should go at least once.

Okay, so you should go into this knowing its a bit of a tourist trap. Its slightly overpriced for what you get, but it is still a fun way to kill an hour. If I could give 3.5 stars I would. The 4D movie was probably the highlight (costs extra, is about 15 minutes) along with some of the final exhibits in the museum. Staff was fine, a bit grumpy, but it was Memorial day so they probably did not want to be there anyway.

Interesting. Kids had a lot of fun.

Fun place to take the family

I had lots of fun with my family here. Its pretty cool.

Its a great place to take the family

Find a coupon before you go. It is very similar to the others. Some parts may be scary for the younger crowd.

It was very fun. I went with my two teenage boys, one 15 and one 17 and we had a blast! There are Bunches of little games to play as you go through and tons of interesting albeit strange artifacts. Watch out for the tunnel at the end if you have any kind of vertigo, you can avoid going through it if you want though its not necessary to leave. My favorite thing there had to be the extra large sized playable operation game. That was fun. We saw the 4d showing of happy family and it was fantastic, I look wish it was longer, took about 20 minutes in all, but I had a wonderful time and would totally recommend to anyone looking for some family fun or just something different.

It was the same as most. Which was fine. Wanted candy afterwards but could not get because no one was tending the shop said open but door was locked. We were told the person who runs the theatre also does candy. Waited for 40 minutes no one came out

Very interesting museum. Probably better with kids, especially the 4D shows which are neat, but great for kids. The exhibits are very interesting and the various games distributed throughout are quite fun.

Staff was really nice.

Ahh so much fun

Fun for the family u will love it... Its also great for a first date

Very nice and interesting quirky things to see. The Laserace is lots of fun for kids of all ages. They have this light tunnel that makes you feel a little drunk which was A LOT fun.

Amzing

Ripleys Believe it or not was ok. First off when you get there, there is guy outside sitting at a little information area right outside. He tells you about how there is this resort called Westgate that has been renovated recently and how all the rooms are named after dead presidents and how nice the place is etc. Then he continues with they also have timeshares there. He says If you go they pay you to go and then you have to go there for an hour where they show you the resort and then they will ask you if you want to continue. Anyways that was awkward. Not expecting that at Ripleys Believe it or not. The museum was ok. Do not think it is worth $17.00. With the 4d shows its 25. The museum had some cool things in there but most stuff in there were ok. Not mind-blowing. The 4d show was nice. Just wish it was a little longer but it was nice. The water scent, and seat effects were nice. Overall it was ok.

Pretty cool place. Not alot for young kids to do, but all in all a great time. The laser game was so much fun, though I do wish you could play more than once.

Had fun with family. A lot of interesting things to see, read, and learn about. Enjoyed the 4D movie and the interactive things that they had.

Great place.

A very neat place! Perfect stop for the whole family!

This is the 5th Ripleys I have been to and I have loved every one of them.

Very neat and very interesting. There were 5 of us ranging in age from 34 to 66 and we all enjoyed it. I saw younger children in their teens and younger that were enjoying it. There was quite a bit of hands on stuff to do, also. Only negative was that ot was kind of dated.
