Why We love Ripley's Believe It Or Not!

This is not your ordinary museum.

Make your way through the museum at your own pace and you'll soon find yourself gawking at the strangest items you've ever seen.

The genuine shrunken head exhibit is one of the most memorable, but other oddities include a replica of the Santa Maria crafted from more than 27,000 match sticks, a roulette table made of jelly beans and a life mask of Abraham Lincoln's face.

A variety of optical illusions will have your head swimming and the interactive exhibits are fun for the kids.
