Overview

Ripley’s Believe It or Not! is full of the strange and fascinating. The building itself purposefully has large cracks down its façade in memory of the famous Missouri earthquake of 1812. Nearly an 8.0 on the Richter Scale, it caused the Mississippi River to run backward for three days. Inside the odditorium, you’ll face similarly bizarre facts, art and artifacts. Check out an aircraft carrier made of 48,000 matchsticks, a two-headed calf and a real Vampire Killing Kit from 1850.
