Ripley鈥檚 Believe It or Not!, Blackpool

Located on Blackpool鈥檚 Golden Mile, Ripley鈥檚 Believe It or Not! is a two-floor museum dedicated to the weird, the wonderful, and the outright unbelievable. Part of the global Ripley鈥檚 franchise鈥攆ounded by cartoonist and explorer Robert Ripley鈥攖he Blackpool Odditorium invites visitors into a world where fact outpaces fiction and strangeness is the main attraction.

Across eight themed galleries, you鈥檒l find hundreds of artifacts and curiosities that blur the line between natural oddity and human eccentricity. Highlights include a two-headed calf, ceremonial figures from Papua New Guinea, and the legendary African fertility statues, which have reportedly sparked over 1,000 pregnancies while on display. There鈥檚 also a life-sized figure of Robert Wadlow, the tallest man in recorded history at 8 feet 11 inches, alongside countless other anomalies.

Ripley鈥檚 collection has roots in the 1933 Chicago World鈥檚 Fair, where the original "Odditorium" drew over 2 million visitors. Today, the Blackpool site continues this legacy with interactive displays, rare items, and storytelling that challenges your sense of what鈥檚 possible. Whether you're into biology, anthropology, or just love the bizarre, Ripley鈥檚 is where 鈥淏elieve It or Not鈥� isn鈥檛 just a slogan鈥攊t鈥檚 a dare.
