Ripleys Believe It Or Not Museum Gatlinburg Tennessee
“The Worlds Most Unusual Museum”
Ripleys Believe It Or Not Museum Gatlinburg Tennessee is advertised as the “The Worlds Most Unusual Museum”. If you love the weird and unusual, this might be the place for you to visit. There are a lot of really bizarre and unusual items here, and plenty of interesting pictures. Plus, you can take your own photos to take home with you. The museum opens at ten am, and takes 1-2 hours to go through.
Don't expect live exhibits - this is more of a museum type atmosphere. You'll see a lot of history, real and imagined, and the attraction is great for people who like to see plenty of interesting things. The attraction is larger than you might expect, and arranged in separate areas by theme. Interactive features are present, as well as the text information on each
exhibit, so don't think it's all dull and dusty. We enjoyed the wax hand souvenir option - you can get your hand dipped in wax, then take the wax hand home. Some of the exhibits that got a lot of attention from out family included the four legged chicken, the two headed calf, the shrunken heads, and the dunking stool.
For those that are not aware, an actual person named Robert Ripley is the inspiration for this attraction. He traveled all over world and visited over 200 countries in his lifetime to personally witness amazing people and things. Wherever he went, he searched for the strange and unusual, documenting the customs and beliefs of ancient and exotic peoples.
Whenever possible he brought back artifacts, which today form part of the best collection of oddities available for display. We found the museum to be well laid out and clean, and all the employees to be friendly and pleasant to deal with. Consider getting a combo ticket to the Ripleys Believe It Or Not Museum Gatlinburg Tennessee along with ones to the Aquarium or Haunted House, to get the best deal. You can also find discounts in coupon books found around Gatlinburg for a lower price on admission. Kids between the ages of three and eleven get a discount and kids under two are free.
