Ripley's - Reviews and experiences

Ripley's Believe It or Not! is a company primarily known for its franchise of museums and attractions that exhibit a collection of odd, unusual, and often macabre artifacts from around the world. Founded by Robert Ripley, an American cartoonist, explorer, and collector of curiosities, the company's origins trace back to 1918 with the debut of Ripley's newspaper panel series, which featured bizarre and extraordinary factual stories from across the globe. This series gained immense popularity, leading Ripley to expand his venture into radio and television shows, books, and eventually a series of odditoriums and attractions located in several countries, including Canada. These attractions serve as interactive extensions of Ripley's quest to showcase the world's most remarkable, strange, and incredible items, from genuine shrunken heads to rare animal oddities, historic artifacts, and interactive exhibits designed to educate, entertain, and engage visitors of all ages.
