Description

Ripley's Believe It or Not is perfect for those who love everything wacky and weird. The popular franchise has a location in Williamsburg and is a fun diversion from the more formal history lessons learned in the many attractions in Colonial Williamsburg. As with all of the other Ripley's Believe It or Not! museums, they focus on the oddities in the "odditorium tradition" with each museum exhibiting the strange, the shocking, and the beautiful. Here you'll encounter life size replicas of extraordinary people, an illusion of Robert Ripley's Ghost, bizarre wonders of nature such as a two-headed bird, and many more strange things to keep you scratching your head and left wondering how it's all real. Beyond the gallery of exhibits, this Ripley's features a 4-D theater with adventurous films that are fun for the family.
