Ripley's collection of curiosities never fails to intrigue and amuse. From modified bodies and tribal relics to artefacts made from bizarre items, there's something here to appeal to people of all ages. It's a great place to visit during Blackpool's frequent rainy days. I first went to the Blackpool branch back in 1976 and I visited the San Francisco outlet... More

I went with My Hubby, Daughter and Son. I will admit I had quite a bit of difficulty as I'm in a wheelchair and there are quite a few stairs. Luckily my Hubby and Son were able to get my chair up and down them. Other than that, we found it good fun and very interesting, my "kids" are 25... More

Some interesting exhibits, learned quite a lot from browsing some of the things. Quite interesting to read about the man himself and see photographs of his travels around the world. Not sure about taking small children in though.

Whilst there are lots of different exhibits and lots of different facts I got bored. The best bit was the revolving tunnel near the end and the rest was quickly looked at. If it had been raining I would have spent longer but only to keep out of the rain. I would not go back but some may enjoy it... More

What a shame. Me and the missus and the kids were the only visitors on what should have been a packed but sadly that is blackpool at present. I visited ripples about 15 years ago and it was fun, sadly they have changed nothing and it feels tired. My missus asked if there was a loo for the kids o... More

We were in Blackpool on a freezing cold spring day, so didn't fancy the pleasure beach, but found this place.......Never heard of it before, but had some really interesting stuff to look at, and learn about. Some of it could be a bit scary, (wouldn't recommend small children), but overall an unusual way to spend an hour in Blackpool, (... More
