"So fun!"

Reviewed June 25, 2024

We had never been to a Ripleys and this was a lot of fun! Ocean City boardwalk did not really appeal to us, so we visited Ripleys there and easily spent 1.5 hours looking at the exhibits, and could've been there for even 2 or 2.5 hours if we looked at them more carefully. We went on a Saturday morning and it was pretty empty so we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. It was clean, interesting, and kept two kids, middle school and high school age interested. We will definitely find another one of these soon!

"Better things to do"

Reviewed July 30, 2023

Very small attraction that needs updating, extremely expensive!!!! $50 something for just two adults. Couldn't purchase our photos, as the card reader was declining everyone's cards. Later received a fraud alert on my card for the same amount the photo should have been. Fraud alert from Argentina. Honestly wish we wouldn't have wasted the money.

"Over-priced garbage! Stay away!"

Reviewed July 30, 2023

$100 for a family of 4 to view the worst exhibit I’ve ever seen! Such a small place with generic garbage, you’d have more enjoyment googling oddities.

It was interesting. We enjoyed our visit. Pretty simple but cool. The interactive part was ok. It was informative and we all learned something new

"Curiosities Galore: Exploring Ripley's Oddities, with a Few Caveats"

Reviewed July 15, 2023

Ripleys is definitely a unique and fun experience! There are so many odd relics to marvel at, which adds to the overall charm of the place. It’s like stepping into a time capsule and exploring a world of curiosities. 🕰️🔮 However, I must note that Ripley’s might be more of a one-time visit kind of deal. Price of admission is way too steep in my opinion. I have a hard time recommending it based on the price. It’s a pretty small place. Also unfortunately, not much has changed since they first opened their doors. So, if you’ve been once, you’ve pretty much seen it all. It would be great if they added some new exhibits or updated their displays to keep things fresh and exciting. 🔄💡 Now, a word of caution: be wary of the photo selling gimmick. Halfway through the tour, they might hassle you to purchase a photo. It’s a bit of a buzzkill and can feel like an unnecessary upsell. Just a heads-up to save yourself the hassle and politely decline if it’s not your thing. 📸❌
