Ripley's used to be a great time. However, over the years, the price has become astronomical and you're easily looking at a $100+ spend for 2 adults and 1 child. Now, once you get past the sticker shock. Let's get into the displays inside Ripley's. Two very important pieces of information. Some brainiac at Ripley's decided to remove two of the better displays in the museum. First off, the Tornado alley display - GONE. The mermaid hologram display GONE. You might assume that some awesome display was put into their play - right? WRONG. What, now, sits in the place of these displays are a pay-to-play arcade shooting gallery. Are you kidding me? What ODDITY is being displayed or represented by a freaking arcade shooting gallery? Also, something you will now notice is (I lost count) at LEAST 20 vending machines located at every TURN while going through the museums. There are so many machines it gets to the point of distraction. Shame on this place. The cost continues to rise but there is no new value added to the additional cost and then they insult your intelligence by placing shameful vending machines at every turn. Be prepared to start paying for parking at this place too.
