Though Ripley’s isn’t unique to Panama City Beach, it is a favorite rainy day activity among families with young kids. Inside, you’ll find oddities like shrunken heads, one-of-a-kind artwork and other interesting artifacts synonymous with the Ripley name. Along with the hands-on displays, this outpost is also home to a 7-D moving theater, the LaserRace Challenge and a mirror maze, if you’re willing to pay extra.
Reviews were a bit mixed on this PCB location. Some said it was a fun way to spend an hour or two if you need a break from the beach, while others said the museum had a tired feel and was expensive compared to the area’s other attractions. If you’re not traveling with kids, this may not be worth your time and money, according to recent travelers.
You’ll find Ripley’s Believe It or Not! within walking distance of the downtown area. Single tickets, which do not include the site’s other attractions like the mirror maze, the 7-D moving theater or the LaseRace Challenge, cost $17.99 for adults and $12.99 for children.
