    Ripleys Believe it or Not is so much fun for all ages! We took our 2 year old and he enjoyed it as much as his 41 year old dad. There is a mirror maze, moving theater, wax museum, Haunted Ripleys, Believe it or Not Museum, gift shop, food court and so much more! This was the perfect ending to our weekend getaway.

    I’ve been here maybe 3-4 times in all my life…if we’re being honest it’s a fun experience the first time you go and kinda boring afterwards. I do however recommend the mirror maze and ‘4d moving movie’!! Very fun!!

    Okay, I’ve been to the Niagara Falls one and it was awesome. I took my husband here in Texas hoping it would kind of be the same. It was not. There were much less items spaced far apart to try to take up space. Also I thought it was odd the Jesus part of the wax museum was the biggest part. Not to mention it wasn’t even accurate when displaying the diversity of the Apostles. 😂 just a really random thing to have in a wax museum. The museum of fear was the coolest part by far.

    Ripley's Believe it or not in Grand Prairie, Texas was such an awesome experience. With all the different amazing artifacts and exhibits that they have in the main part of the museum is just mind blowing. When you have arrive, you can choose from a couple of different experiences to take part in. I did the main museum and the wax museum, I was pleasantly surprised and satisfied with my experience. The main museum has so many different types of exhibits too. One of my favorites, especially if you are a horror movie fan, is the horror area where you can see all your favorite movie characters. Highly recommend.

    What a unique, fun experience!! The building Ripley’s may be a little outdated but the inside holds really unique pieces and an unforgettable experience for both adults and children. There are several ticket combinations you can choose from include the wax museum, believe it or not exhibit, 7D movie theater, mirror maze… the staff were al very sweet and patient explaining the differences in experiences for us. We did the 2 experience combo and in total took about ~2 hours+. Really recommend this experience for everyone of all ages. Fascinating facts, illusions, and pop culture art - and even the Christian gospel had a whole exhibit here which was surprisingly and amazing to see!!

    Love this place my 9 year old and 5 year old was so excited and talked about the experience for 2 days. We decided to go here for spring break this week. We got stuck in the mirror maze and had to take the emergency door that lead outside and went back around to front to get back in because we couldn't figure out how to get out of there. They laughed and we had fun. Lol 😆 loved it

    My cousin and I took some of the kids in our family to see this, and it ended up being a lot of fun! There are a lot of celebrities, political figures, and super heroes. The whole Christ exhibit was a bit weird, and a little more mature than we were expecting. The kids rushed out of this area pretty quickly. The haunted house was by far my favorite. You can opt to skip it but I had a great time watching even the older kids in the group getting spooked. Some of the wax figures don't look quite right; almost dusty and old. It could use a revamp, but all in all a fun family experience.

    5 Way Super Combo is the best value and totally worth it! Carve out about 1.5 - 2 hours. I think my favorite was the wax museum because it had so much variety. It went from pop stars to American history, fairytales, super hero’s, royalty current work leaders, the life of Jesus and even a small haunted house like area! Lots of laughs and screams! I went with family visiting for the holidays.

    We spent my son's birthday here and we had a great time. 5 different attractions to choose from clean bathrooms and a large parking lot so enough room for everyone. Our favorite parts *The mirror maze *The wax hands *Ripleys 7D movie theater *palace of wax

    Great place! I would pass by this place for years and not stop by. Finally when my gf and I went, we had a blast! I had no idea they had a celebrity wax exhibit and a haunted house type of experience! Also the shooting game in the theater were the seats move was pretty fun too.

    My family had a great time at Ripley’s! We arrived right at opening and were able to do mostly everything without a bunch of people around. Parking was plenty and there are kiosks to purchase your tickets. We all purchased the 5 Way Combo, meaning we could visit all the attractions for $39.99. It was a good deal in my opinion. The wax museum was strange because none of the wax people looked liked the actual people. We enjoyed taking pictures with them though lol. The moving theater was fun! It’s advertised as 7D, but I would disagree. There’s a hunted house type of thing at the end of the Odditorium. It scared us initially, but after a few jumps and screams, we were able to anticipate what was next. It was put together nicely, so I highly recommend doing it. The mirror maze was also fun. I suggest doing it first so others won’t interfere with your group. We let the kids do the wax hands. I wanted one, but didn’t like the fact that’s everybody’s hands are dipped in the same wax. They request that you wash your hands, but I still didn’t feel comfortable with it. Overall, we spent about 2.5 hours here. We finished off in the gift shop and got a good deal on some matching t-shirts. This was a great start to our vacation.

    Great place to visit with family or friends. The wax museum and 3D cinema is great. Outside it doesn’t look like there is much to do but once you go inside this place will amuse you. Prices are also not bad as compared to activities they offer you.

    Fun place to visit. Definitely something for all to see. Always wanted to visit. Did not disappoint. absolutely love all the Jesus and the sculptures they have of the dinosaurs. There’s so many different cool things I have a replace the hand moldings that you can make a really cool and you can make one holding hands or just simply whatever you want to create if you’re looking for a place just to go see all the things you really can’t believe it’s definitely Ripleys believe it or not.

    Very interesting since I last visited many years ago. The museum is very interesting. We visited the the main exhibit areas, including the wax museum. I loved the horror part of the wax exhibit, but it frightened my 7 year old. I only took a few pictures of some of the models.

    My queen Revonna and I were venturing out for some activities to celebrate our 1 year anniversary of dating. We remembered that we still had some turns on the activities at Ripley's Believe it or not. Our tickets' scan codes were not easily visible so the representative made us a fresher ticket. We went to the mirror maze and the museum. The photos shared are mostly of the museum. We enjoyed ourselves!

  • 5/5 Antonia L. 10 months ago on Google
    I loved this place! In my opinion it was absolutely worth the $$$$! So I paid for my tickets online ,& ended up almost $90 for 2 people for the whole experience..I was hesitant at first ,because for the price I wasn't sure it'd be worth it ,but we ended up having such a wonderful time ! I booked our tickets(which read they are good up to one year!) and showed up within 30 mins..well when we got there there was about 4 buses of kids taking field trips,& I was worried it'd be too full to get through especially since I hate big crowds so I called to ask about what time they might be done ,& was told they couldn't tell me anything I just had to go whenever.. I decided to find something to do so we left for about an hour ,& decided to go back around 2ish ,& it worked out just perfectly,because it was almost empty when we got there ! We had so much fun with all of it ,& I can't wait to take my kids to see how much they enjoy it as well!! Only suggestions to anyone who wants to go would be eat before you go ,& definitely plan ahead ,because you don't want to be in a hurry to leave as you can be there anywhere from 2 hours and up if you want to do it all!

    It is great for kids 13 and under. In addition to the Ripley's tour, kids can enjoy a mirrors maze, wax tour, laser room.

    Absolutely loved this place! It looks small at the entrance but it is massive i spent 4-5 hours going through it all. I particularly loved the #Tussaud wax museum, fear museum and mirror maze. The 10D movie was fun as well.

    I tried all five amusements! It was fun and worth the pay, then at the end we got wax hand molds! The mirror maze was hard! The 3D movie was pretty cool to play! I didn't too much like the Lazer room, kind of a disappointment, but the wax museum and the Ripleys believe it or not museum was the best! They even had a fear area that scared the mess out of us lol!

    Went out and had a blast with my son. Lots of activities with various picture opportunities. I suggest getting a waxed hand and avoid the Fear section of the wax museum ( Its a bit scary for the little ones).

    My husband and I had so much fun here! We can't wait to take the kids. It took us 3 hours to do everything. So, with kids, expect 4 to 5 hours of fun.

  • 5/5 Special Ops Apparel Promotional's and D. 1 year ago on Google
    Hands down get the 5 in 1 bundle ticket this was so Much fun for us and the kids really any age would enjoy from the mirror maze wax museum to the simulation theater it was a blast ! We also got their hands dipped in wax So pretty cool souvenir / keepsake .

  • 5/5 izzy S. 5 months ago on Google
    Fun and neat place the maze was our favorite part my 5yr old really enjoyed it and there's a neat light up area in the middle of it. We did ened up back at the entrance like 4 time lol and eventually made it to the exit. Wax was cool our son didn't enjoy it too much until we got to the superheroes and we skipped the scary part but my husband went through. Staff was nice and helpful.

    Had a blast with my kids ages 4 to 17. They all enjoyed themselves as well. The 7D roller coaster video game was a blast and the maze was hilarious.

  • 5/5 Bre M. 9 months ago on Google
    So much fun!! Loved it we did the museum of wax and ripleys gotta go back to do the other stuff they have! The wax museum has a small haunted house !

  • 4/5 Jade T. 9 months ago on Google
    I had a great time with my family. The exhibits were so fun! 4 stars for the aesthetic and layout but never the less fun for all ages. Some good scares for the easily startled.

  • 5/5 Josh B. 11 months ago on Google
    I had the rare chance to visit this location with a lifetime member Guinness World Record holder, so I can't comment on the cost or wait times, but I can say I was thoroughly impressed with this location. The exhibits are all so well done and thoughtfully placed. The flow is nice, and it's roomy enough to not feel crowded in. We were able to take advantage of the wax museum, and a few other attractions. Not everything, but I'll definitely be back to see the rest ASAP.

  • 5/5 Brad B. 10 months ago on Google
    This place was Amazing like always and it was the first time I've been there in almost 10 years. So naturally there was remodeling, but it was still like a dream factory and very inspirational. Plus it got Me into the Wizard of Oz mood after going through that particular exhibit. My most favorite though was the Horror exhibit since I am into Schlock, Splatter, Thrillers and etc.. I am definitely coming back to Ripley's again.

  • 5/5 L C. 9 months ago on Google
    I took my 6 year old niece and we had fun. There was no wait for any of the attractions. We enjoyed walking thru the mirror maze and taking selfies with the wax statues. There was very few people in the building so it was quiet and cool. We spent less than $100 for about 2 - 2.5 hours of silly fun.

  • 5/5 Elice M. 9 months ago on Google
    Took our kids here for their 11th birthday and overall we loved it! We hit up all the attractions there. The laser maze was nothing we would recommend at all. Some lasers were barely visible, it wasn't as difficult as you hoped it would be and it was ridiculously short. Our kids were done in less than a minute. The 7D theatre is only about 5 minutes long but it's awesome! Would highly recommend it. The mirror maze was great. Took us longer than expected to find our way thru it. The Ripleys section was good. But the highlight of it all was the wax museum...especially the horror section. Just awesome.

  • 5/5 Michelle A. 1 year ago on Google
    Super nice! We weren't really thrilled at first but once inside we had so much fun! Looking fwd for our next trip and visit again.

  • 5/5 Agelessorca 1 year ago on Google
    This place was really cool! The wax museum was wonderful, and the regular museum spent much of my time. We went early, so there wasn't anyone but us there. That made the experience quite enjoyable.

  • 5/5 Amber T. 2 years ago on Google
    Ripley’s can be enjoyed for hours! Laser challenge, blast the bad guys game, mirror maze, wax museum, and soooo much more. Save room for sugar too!

  • 5/5 Muthuragavan S. 2 years ago on Google
    We had less expectations but enjoyed a lot with friends.. We loved the experience at Ripley's Believe it or not.. Mirror maze and 7d theater are the ones where we had more fun .. Dont miss these 2 if you are here..

  • 5/5 Lola C. 2 years ago on Google
    We enjoyed our first time visiting Ripley's Believe It or Not! Got to see Louis Tussaud's Waxworks, best I've seen! Took lots of fun pictures:) We're coming back to see the other attractions.

  • 5/5 Susan R. 2 years ago on Google
    My daughter and I had a great time checking out the wax and the believe it or not exhibits. The moving movie was a nice up to date bonus to the venue.
