Ripley’s Believe It or Not!

If you’re looking for something quirky, weird and downright mind-bending during your Branson visit, then “Ripley’s Believe It or Not!” is for you. This museum/odditorium is nestled on the bustling “76” strip, and it greets you with a facade that looks like a building cracked and tilted by an earthquake.

As you step inside, you’ll wander through gallery after gallery of oddities: from shrunken heads to optical illusions, massive artifacts to interactive wonders. It’s fun for all ages because you’ll find yourself laughing, scratching your head, taking goofy photos, and learning something you didn’t know you’d learn.

The vibe here is playful and curious — part museum, part fun house. Walk through and explore at your own pace. One minute you’re reading about the world’s largest ball of twine, the next you’re stepping into a spinning vortex tunnel that throws your senses off a bit.

Things to Do

• Explore the themed galleries full of global oddities: weird artifacts, strange art, astonishing facts.
• Step through the vortex tunnel and take fun photos in the interactive illusion zones.
• Check out unique items like shrunken heads, vampire-killing kits, or giant scrap-metal sculptures.
• Take plenty of pictures — many of the exhibits beg for a selfie or two.
• Grab a souvenir in the gift shop at the end to memorialize your visit to the weird side.
