"Better than expected "

Reviewed February 14, 2023
Our children of 5 and 9 really enjoyed this museum. My wife and I also enjoyed it but it was mostly for them. There were more exhibits to see than I thought there would be and we spent about an hour here. The mirror maze got scary. My wife didn't want to do it so I went in with the kids and we went arond in circles for about 10 minutes before I just wanted to get out! We found the entrance where we walked in and exited there. I wouldn't recommend the mirror maze unless you have a lot of time and don't let little kids go off by themselves in there! The worst part about the whole thing museum is the girl at the front desk who couldn't be bothered to look up from her phone when taking the tickets. Great experience other than that.

"Worst ripleys by far"
TripAdvisor user rating 1 out of 5
Reviewed October 22, 2022
Worst Ripleys hands down! It is expensive, it is old, it is crusty, and they have not updated their technology since the start of the century. What a disappointment. I’ve been to a lot of ripleys, there was nothing special about this at all. And so expensive!
