Summary
Features: For a unique NYC attraction that will dazzle your mind and make you cringe all at once, visit Ripleys Believe It or Not! New York. Inspired by the circus sideshows of yesteryear, Ripleys Museum NYC is a popular Times Square attraction that celebrates all that is weird.
Why We Go: Ripleys Believe It or Not! caters to the impulse in all of us to see something unique and bizarre. Check out the surprisingly large collection of shrunken heads at Ripleys Museum NYC, as well as their torture exhibit and the famous "Black Hole" at the exit.
- Curiosity: The "Odditorium" at Ripleys Believe It or Not understands that people enjoy discovering something odd . . . especially while visiting New York City.
- Sword Eating: Before you even walk into the entrance of Ripleys in NY, you'll be entertained by their collection of sword-eating performers, including the famous - and fully-tattooed - "Lizardman" and "Enigma."
Inside Knowledge: As of today, the Ripley collection boasts more than 20,000 photographs, 30,000 artifacts, and over 100,000 cartoon panels - all of them strange, exotic, and interesting.
Do's and Don'ts:
- Do Bring Your Camera: There are plenty of photo opportunities at Ripley's Museum NY, especially in the Ripley "Torture Chamber," which features a huge selection of medieval torture devices.
- Do See the Show Before You Go: For a better idea of what the famous Ripleys Believe It Or Not NYC "Odditorium" is, check out the popular cable show before you go.
- Don't Get Sucked into the Black Hole: The freakiest part of Ripleys Museum NYC might be at the end, where visitors must scale the famous "Black Hole." While it won't actually suck you in, it will certainly make you feel like it.
- Don't Bring the Littlest Ones: Ripleys Believe It or Not is OK for most kids, but some of the exhibits might be too scary for the youngest ones.

The tour was:Adventurous
Really Interesting
The interactive exhibits - like the Laser Race and Blackhole were winners with the kids. It took us a couple hours from start to finish. Imagine it could take less but we spent the time to read the info on most of the artifacts. Ripley's reminded us of how amazing and awe-inspiring the world really is. We recommend it because it manages to be both fun and educational. Needless to say, it was the kids favorite museum in New York.
