In the World of Ripley’s Believe It or Not, Truth can be Stranger Than Fiction:
Believe It or Not, sometimes truth can be stranger than fiction, especially in the world of Ripley’s Believe It or Not. Ripley’s in London has 700 weird and wonderful and unbelievable exhibits that will tease, entertain, astonish and astound visitors.
Spread over five floors of the London Pavilion at Piccadilly Circus, some of the bizarre and amazing exhibits include three shrunken human heads from Ecuador, a two-headed calf, a four-metre long model of the Tower Bridge made of matchsticks, a mirror maze, an upside-dow tea party to the world’s tallest man, a portrait of Princess Diana made out of laundry lint from a clothes dryer and a Mini-Cooper encrusted with 1,000,000 Swarovski crystals – this has to be seen to be believed!
Ripley’s Believe It or Not appeals to anyone with a sense of curiosity and an enjoyment of all things bizarre. This museum of oddities is a London family attraction, although the ticket prices are not cheap.
