Ripley’s Believe It or Not! is a fascinating interactive entertainment centre that presents boundless opportunities for family fun. Discover bizarre artifacts from around the world that will shock and amaze. Travel through a maze of optical illusions and innovative animations. See lifelike models of world-famous celebrities and watch a film in a moving cinema. Ripley’s Believe It or Not! is part of an international franchise established by cartoonist Robert Ripley to showcase quirky and extraordinary feats.
One of the major highlights is a walk-through museum home to 10 themed galleries and around 350 astonishing exhibits. Find out what your weight would be on the moon and stand next to a model of the world’s tallest man. See a mask made using human skin, a replica of a two-headed cow and a copy of the infamous Titanic, made out of over one million matchsticks.
Go to the Haunted Adventure, where live actors appear from hidden doorways, trapdoors and coffins set in an abandoned warehouse. Immerse yourself in the optical illusions and spectacular sound and light effects of the Infinity Maze. Watch a 3-D movie in the cinema simulator, complete with vibrating seats and surround sound.
Come face-to-face with celebrity figures in the realistic waxwork museum. Look for Brad Pitt, Mahatma Gandhi and the Dalai Lama, among 60-plus waxworks. Challenge yourself in the laser maze and try to avoid crisscrossing light beams. Take a ride on a giant helium balloon to enjoy panoramic views of Pattaya and its beaches.
Located in the Royal Garden Plaza shopping mall, Ripley’s Believe It or Not! is in the heart of Pattaya. Public buses and songthaews (shared taxis) stop close to the mall’s entrance. It’s also just a short walk from the resort’s other major attractions, including Pattaya Beach Road.
