1 / 2Ripley's Believe It or Not!
📍 Hollywood, CA
Interactive oddities museum featuring hundreds of rare artifacts, hands-on exhibits, and themed sections including Marilyn Monroe memorabilia and movie props. Best for school-age children who enjoy unusual discoveries.
This place exceeded my expectations. We visited this place with families and 3 kids. All of us had a great time here - adults and children alike. They have a lot of fun and interactive displays and areas where kids can play and be themselves. The tallest man and the tribal area were the highlights. The whole museum was enjoyable. Recommended.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with school-age children who enjoy quirky exhibits and interactive experiences. Plan to spend about an hour exploring the displays and expect a smaller venue than other Ripley's locations. Consider pairing with nearby Madame Tussauds for better value, but be prepared for extra costs on some interactive elements.

“A really cool museum that offers some unique perspectives on the world and creativity. Place was smaller than when I was last here 15 years ago but I probably still had my kid glasses on back then. Definitely a good option to pair with Madame Tussaud’s to save some money on entry”
