Sure, the Alamo gets all the glory—but if you’re looking for something truly unexpected, head across the street to Ripley’s Believe It or Not! San Antonio, where reality gets a little... stranger.
Here’s why Ripley’s Attractions in San Antonio should be your go-to for out-of-the-box fun:
1. Step Into the Strange at Ripley’s Believe It or Not!
Where else can you see shrunken heads, a two-trunked elephant, a vampire-killing kit, and a portrait made entirely of dog hair—all in the same building?
Inside Ripley's Believe It or Not! San Antonio, you’ll explore hundreds of exhibits that celebrate the wonderfully weird, from ancient rituals to modern-day marvels.
Tip: Don’t miss the spinning vortex tunnel, and see if you can make it through without holding on to the railing!
2. Say "Cheese" with Celebs at Louis Tussaud’s Waxworks
Step into the spotlight and strike a pose with incredibly lifelike wax figures of the world’s most iconic faces!
Snap a selfie with Beyoncé, size up next to The Rock, and stand shoulder to shoulder with superheroes, horror icons, and historical legends. Explore powerful scenes from Texas history, where legendary figures come to life, and take a moment to honor America’s veterans through moving, patriotic tributes that celebrate their bravery and sacrifice.
From Drake to Harry Potter, Marvel heroes to movie villains, this is your all-access pass to fame—no VIP ticket required.
Tip: Look for hidden props to level up your selfies—lightsabers, cowboy hats, and more!
3. Ride the Action at Ripley’s 4D Moving Theater
This isn’t your standard movie; it’s a high-octane, four-dimensional thrill ride! Buckle up and feel every twist, drop, and splash as motion seats, surround sound, wind, and water effects pull you into the action.
With a rotating lineup of high-impact films, it’s never the same ride twice.
