Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Odditorium

One fine day in Los Angeles, we decided to drive to Hollywood and check out Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Odditorium. This is my nth time in the US but it’s the first time I’m visiting Ripley’s.

Ripleys Believe It Or Not HollywoodI was impressed by what greeted us at the entrance — a moving figure of the world’s tallest man, R. Wadlow who stands at 8’11”. He is seated at first but when you stand beside him he gets up to show you his actual height. I’m only 5’2″ lol.

I think you can finish the entire Odditorium in 2 hours tops… maybe an hour if you’re not going to read through the materials too much. I thought it was just okay, not really a must-see but if you’re bored and have been to most of the other tourist-y places then go check it out. Admission costs US$14.99 per adult and US$8.99 per child (12 years and below).
