If you're in Orlando, theme parks likely get all the buzz, but if you're looking for something truly mind-blowing, Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Orlando is your ticket to the wonderfully weird and totally unforgettable.

Here’s why Ripley's Attractions in Orlando should be at the top of your must-visit list:

1. Explore the Odd in the Heart of I-Drive

Where else can you see a spinning vortex tunnel, Orlando’s oldest alligator, a vampire-killing kit, and medieval torture devices all under one tilted roof?

Inside Ripley's Believe It or Not! Orlando, you’ll find strange-but-true exhibits, rare artifacts, and art that has to be seen to be believed.

Create your own souvenir at the Wax Hands station! dip, mold, and color your hands into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
