Ripley's Believe It or Not
Robert Ripley was captivated by the Castle Warden which was built in 1887 and thought of it as the perfect place to house his extensive collection of oddities. He got his wish and in 1950 opened the first permanent Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum right here in St Augustine Florida. It is filled with bizarre and unusual artifacts many from Ripley’s personal collection. The over 800 exhibits from around the world will keep you amazed and wondering. Prehistoric jaws, the tallest man, an Egyptian mummified cat, shrunken heads, and a tiny talking leprechaun. I don’t want to give away the fun but beware of mirrors, they may not be what they seem! You can board the Ripley's Sightseeing Trains or Ripley's Ghost Train Adventure at the Museum. They also offer a “combo” ticket that includes both the Sightseeing Train and admission to Ripley’s. As with most attractions, Ripley’s has a gift shop you can peruse after the museum. Hours: 9:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. Sunday – Thursday Admission: Adults – $14.99 19 San Marco Ave St Augustine FL 32080 Map and Directions NOTE: Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the attraction.
