Planning for an upcoming family vacation requires planning in order to utilize your time and maximize your travel dollar. Our family visited Branson, Missouri last week and visited several Branson attraction your family is sure to enjoy.
My family and I left for our nearly 600 mile journey at 7p.m with the intention of arriving first thing in the morning. I know what you’re thinking! Driving through the night is not ideal. But for us, it was. We manage to maximize our travel time by arriving 1st thing Thursday morning. After a quick breakfast, our family visited Ripley’s Believe It or Not in Branson, Missouri. Ripley’s is one of our favorite attractions because if offers something for every member of our family.
Having school aged children I’m always looking for ways to incorporate education when traveling. Ripley’s offers a variety of exhibits that will boggle your mind and have your children thinking while on vacation. From shrunken heads, spinning vortex tunnel to one of a kind artworks, your family will enjoy this interactive attraction and while questioning the unbelievable, intriguing exhibits they just experienced.
My nearly 14 and 10 year old are the perfect age for Ripley’s. In fact, my 24 year old sister visited Branson with us and enjoyed the museum as well. My children & I (including my younger sister) have visited several Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! Odditorium in the past. Although a few of the smaller displays or posters look very vaguely familiar, there were several exhibits that were new to us. This made our zany experience unique and enjoyable.
Are you going to pass up a picture with The Incredible Hulk? I don’t think so, especially when he is made using metal scrap parts! My son loved taking his picture with The Hulk. This picture was taken at the beginning of the 12,000 sq ft Odditorium. Visiting Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Odditorium woke my sleepy traveling family and pumped their excitement to a whole new level.
If you are planning an upcoming family vacation to Branson, be sure to visit Ripley’s Belive It Or Not Odditorium. The popular Branson attraction is easy to spot by the cracked building facade and the 22 ft tall Transformer sculpture made of scrap car parts located directly in front of the Odditorium. Do not leave Branson without visiting the incredible sculpture.

My daughter went to ripleys for a school field trip and is already begging to go back. I just wish the prices were a bit cheaper.
Fun!! I have been to the one in Niagara Falls and the one in NYC and loved them both. Definitely a day of fun!
We have one over here but have not had the chance to go yet.I hope to go one day.
My husband and I have been to the Ripley’s in Myrtle Beach and Niagara Falls and they were SO much fun. We can’t wait for our son to be a bit older so he’d enjoy one of the museums!
All these times I’ve been to Branson and I’ve never been there. I MUST go!!
This is one place I ahve always wanted to visit. I ahve the Ripley’s books but I want to see in person.

This looks like such a fun place to visit – my kids would have a blast!
I’d love to go to the one in FL. It seems like a good time.
I didn’t get to go see this Ripley’s in Branson when I was there. I did see the Titanic museum & the wax museum 😛
That looks like so much fun. This definitely looks like an attraction for kids.
We’ve been to several different Ripley’s and my girls loved them. I really like the sign for this one!
that is one big toilet paper roll!
yes, you can’t miss this museum anywhere with the funky signage. In orlando you get the upside down house which stops traffic 365 days a year
How fun! I’ll definitely have to keep this in mind for when my kids get older. Though I think my 5 year old wold be all over that hulk too!
Looks like you all had a great time. I haven’t been there in so long.
When I lived in Toronto I would often travel to Niagara falls and would go to the Ripley s museum.
I think this would be a fascinating place to visit for adults as much as kids. I have never been but would love to go. It looks like your family had a great time.
I definitely agree. Kids love these u I questions things more than say a picnic.
We always love going to the Ripley’s Aquarium when on vacation. We have also been to the Ripley’s Believe It or Not a few times. We weren’t very impressed with the one at Myrtle Beach, but the one you went to looks a lot cooler!
That looks like a lot of fun! I have been to the one in san antonio before and that was fun!
We visited the Ripley’s in Times Square here in New York City and we loved it. Our boys had a great time too.
This looks like a great place to take a trip to. There is always something new to see.
We Love Ripley’s Believe it not places they are so cool.
That is a big roll of toilet paper! Looks like a fun place to visit with the family.
I can picture myself saying wow and cool a lot in there. There’s some pretty fascinating things to see!
Ive never been to one before. The stuff looks so cool in it.
How cool! I love museums, but getting to see fun and quirky things in an exhibit makes it better!
I have never been to one. They have a one in NYC. We may plan a trip there later in this year.
