| About: | Ripley's operates 27 oddity museums worldwide, and the experience of visiting one is a bit like devouring a pint of ice cream; you know it's not really good for you, but boy is it fun. The Orlando collection is housed in a Bavarian-style building, deliberately disproportioned to look like part of it has disappeared into one of Florida's infamous sinkholes. Inside, you'll find such oddities as a statue of a 1,069-pound man, torture devices from the Spanish Inquisition and a replica of a 1907 Rolls Royce built from more than a million matchsticks. |

Just the design of this place alone...: ...will offset yo because it looks as if though an earthquake hit it...it's like an old school, hacienda-looking building sticking halfway out of the ground. When driving down International Drive, this tourist spot grabs you the most because it is so original in it's design.
Awesome: Ripley's is a cool place to visit if you like to look at weird and strange things. They have a two-headed cow and a really big snake skin. I liked the giant's chair. It made me feel like I was a midget. They had a cool set up. The Ripley's in TN is also not only a littlel different from the one in Orlando but also bigger. They also have a haunted house which is freaky in Tn too. It was a good experience and it isn't too expensive to go see the Ripley's.
