Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! Odditorium

Fantastic way to spend a rainy day in OC. If you’re lucky enough to have great weather throughout your trip Ripleys is still worth a visit. Lots of really interesting stuff in the museum — our favorite exhibit was a collection of art made from unusual materials such as gum wrappers, dryer lint and even toast! The mirror maze is really incredible-​dont miss it and get the combo ticket that includes both. You can go back in as many times as you want in one day-​my girlfriend and I kept challenging each other and racing through it.

Good time! I have walked past it hundreds of time but this was our first visit. In February we were the only people in the museum. Staff were really nice and the building itself was well cared for. I spoke with one of the employees and she seemed to really like her job– all smiles!

Pretty solid Ripley’s Museum. Compared to the other two I’ve been to in resent years, it is superior to the one in Atlantic City, NJ, but far short of the one in Baltimore, MD. It was a lot bigger than I was expecting, and packed with the stuff of Ripley’s legend, but also contained a lot of redundancy with the one in Baltimore. In all, it’s priced pretty well, as a rule, I’d say take the amount of time you thing you’re going to spend in there and double it.

Had a great time. Saw many amazing things. Worth the price.

This place rocks! In one place I met Bumbblebee, saw Elvis, Marilyn, and a money car and lots of awesome things! My daughter loved the animal sculptures, my mom and I loved the Mummy room! It took some coaxing but once I got my daughter through the rocker rolling walk she loved it too! way to go Mr. ripely!

The perfect rainy day activity! Many cool things to see here, hubby and I enjoyed our visit very much. The mirror maze is worth doing as well!

Very fan family adventure!
Lots of fun things to look at here! I’ve been to three of Ripleys museums and this one gets the cake, the best part is that all of the museums are different! Always new things to learn and see! Also some of the same things. The black hole is a lot of fun it really makes it feel like the room is spinning. I would come back again! When the museum is empty it’s the best because you don’t have to wait for slow readers to finish looking at parts of exhibits that you want to see.

Fun tourist attraction, but all museums have the same stuff in every location… just a FYI for future reference..

Come in at Ripley’s Believe or not you will love it it has a lot of amazing stuff so if you are planing a trip to ocean city maryland this year and come see ripley’s you will love it it’s great for the hole family you can’t mis the place it has a large shark in the side of the building so bring your camera you can take photo in side

My fiancé and I went here today because neither of us had been to one. We did the odditatorium and mirror maze which came to about 40 dollars. There was some really interesting facts and cool pieces to look at. We took our time and enjoyed the optical allusions. The mirror maze was fun and while we didnt do the laser challenge we heard some kids who sounded like they were having a great time.
This is something unique and fun to do once. It is a great thing to do on a day where it might rain at the beach.

Not Much Has Changed Over The Years But Its Nice For The Kids Wish They Would Give It A 2014 Upgrade If You’ve Been There In The Last 5 Years Don’t Bother Going Again It Has Not Changed.

It was our first time going, so we were excited. We got the entire package: museum, mirrored walls and laser maze.
The first part of the museum was SO hot! Within minutes I was sweating and rushing to get through to the next phase. It seemed to be the only area without air conditioning. Everything after that was pretty cool. My 15 and 14 y/​os seemed to really like it.
The mirrored wall was pretty awesome. I must admit, I got a little scared lol. The laser maze was .not worth it. We didn’t see the point and definitely would not be doing again. Overall, it was an ok experience; worth doing at least one time in your life.

It’s the best attraction on Ocean city, this was my first experience at Ripleys. Worth the price it’s a perfect place for kids, I went with my son and he was amaze. We love it, there are a lot of weird staff, looks like a crazy place but my son love it. He was a little bit scary but he love it at the end because he learn new interesting thing. I will go back for sure :)

It’s cool but once you’ve seen one of them you’ve seen them all. It’s more little interesting facts than Unbeleivable things. I would recommend at least going to one of them once though just because it’s interesting.

This was my first ever experience at a ripleys. I’m not sure if I believe ½ the things here but it was quite entertaining! Worth the price for sure! The best part is the ending! Wish I had known that mirror was double sided! Sheeeesh!
We got the 2 deal package which included the mirrored maze (confusing as hell) and this James Bond timed lazer maze that is really cool.

Pros:
–Random cool unique and (un)believable stories!
–A good mix of artifacts and movies and different forms of media
–the line to get tickets moves at a snails pace. I think this inherently makes the museum less crowded.
Cons:
–there are no workers in the museum. Thus annoying parents that allow their kids to run around are not moderated
–The laser maze is like a tiny closet that takes 30 seconds. Only one person can go at a time
Tips
*use a $ 1 coupon, need one per person!
*THE LASER MAZE IS NOT WORTH IT

We loved it, my husband got a little freaked out but it was all good :-)
Its something to do when you’re perusing the boardwalk. The best part was the mystery window at the end.
We also did the mirror maze, why not right?!

One of the three best attractions on Ocean City — the other two being Viking Golf and The Crab Bag. DO NOT MISS THIS.

Neither my boyfriend nor I was really that impressed with Ripley’s. We’re interested in facts and «news of the weird», definitely, but… for some reason, this place just wasn’t all that. I didn’t really see any exhibits that shocked or even surprised me much, and what WAS there, it didn’t seem as if it was «the real thing». For example, they had a supposed exhibit of two-​headed (or three-​legged or four-​brained, you substitute the number and the body part) animals; most of them were located behind a roped-​off area, but a large (supposedly three-​legged) sheep was standing in front of me. I noticed strange «holes» in its hide, and took a closer look — and honestly, I think that’s a blanket simply covering wire and filler. It may serve as «an example» of what Ripley supposedly found, but the point is that I don’t think it’s real. I didn’t dare touch the thing to find out for sure, but I’m highly doubtful.
I have no doubt that the STORIES are true, but the exhibits are suspect.
I think we expected a lot more interactivity and «hands-​on» experiments, and this just didn’t fill the bill for us. Also, from the information that we received, they make it sound as if Robert Ripley walked on water — I guess that’s to be expected considering the type of museum that it is, but I didn’t come away from there feeling as if I’d learned anything about the man other than that he was 1. eccentric, which we could already tell, duh and 2. was filthy stinking rich, which was obvious by the fact that he collected such oddball stuff.
It was nice to visit, but we most likely won’t go again, and we probably wouldn’t recommend it much to anyone either. Kids might get a kick out of it, but if they don’t read the accompanying plaques (and most won’t), they’ll probably think it boring as well.
Save your money. Better things to do in O.C. than this.

I visited Ripley’s Ocean City during a vacation with my sister and her family. At first I wasn’t sure I was going to like it. I mean, it just seemed like the exhibits would be full of fluff and basically, well, unbelievable. To boot, the prices seemed a little high. But my nephew, niece and her boyfriend (all teens) insisted that we go. So, being the cool aunt that I am, I gave in.
I was determined to find a coupon for this spot, though. I’m one of those «totally against paying full price for anything (not if I can help it)» kinda folks. I found a GREAT deal in the Sunny Day Guide. If you’re heading out to Ocean City, MD, pick up one of those puppies from any hotel/​motel or the visitors center. It’ll save you a few bucks and even give u some ideas on how to keep the young ones busy.
Sooo, how did I like Ripley’s, you ask? I completely enjoyed it. So many exhibits, so much to see and do, VERY interactive, and most of all, not a waste of time or money. Ok, ok, they were a few «fluffy» exhibits, but not nearly enough to make me say you shouldn’t check it out. The young ones loved it and the Impossible Laser Race. So cool!
