What is it?
Our odditorium is a collection of over 500 unusual artifacts from all over the world, representing the places, people and oddities that fascinated Robert Ripley during his extensive travels.
Would you recommend the odditorium for children?
Our bizarre collection of the unbelievable and odd intrigues guests of all ages. The artifacts and exhibits are presented in a way that is fun, fascinating and awe-inspiring for everyone.
All children must be accompanied by an adult.
Do you offer guided tours?
Of course! Our talented staff includes guides who help bring the astonishing story of Robert Ripley to life. Our guides are specifically chosen to be both interactive and informative. To schedule a guided tour, call our helpful sales coordinators Mon-Fri between 9am and 5pm at 212-398-3133. Or you may fill out our info request and one of our team members will contact you.
How much time should I plan to spend at the odditorium?
Most guests will spend between an hour and a half to two hours exploring the strange, bizarre and unique items in our collection. As with any attraction, your personal tastes will determine how long it takes. If you plan to investigate every item and read every caption, you'll be here a bit longer; if you plan to just see the sights and only examine a few items, you will find that an hour and a half is sufficient.
Is photography allowed?
We love when our guests take photos of themselves while visiting us. To make sure that each guest has the same wonderful experience, we ask that you bring no tripods or additional lighting equipment.
Is the odditorium wheelchair accessible?
Ripley's Times Square is handicapped accessible. Wheelchairs are available upon request at the admission desk on a first-come, first-served basis.
Do you allow strollers into the odditorium?
Yes.
Is food and drink allowed in the odditorium?
A number of our exhibits are priceless and simply cannot be replaced if damaged. Therefore, to be sure that we preserve the collection for future visitors, we do not allow any outside food, bubble gum or beverages.
Does the odditorium have a gift store?
Yes. Our magnificent store features items that range from the bizarre to the unbelievable and everything in between. The Ripley’s Believe It or Not! shop is the perfect place to find something for everyone – comfortable t-shirts, bizarre collectibles, unique jewelry, crazy candy and toys that will engage the imagination. Our products change regularly and we invite you to visit often. The gift store may be accessed by the public as well as those who’ve visited our odditorium.
Is this the same as all the other Ripley's?
Ripley's personal treasures can be seen in Believe It or Not! Odditorium around the world. Each odditorium is unique in its collection of oddities and in their presentation. No Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditorium would be complete without the "old favorites" however - the incredible people whose stories Ripley gathered on his journeys around the globe. These strange people are brought back to life in detailed wax figures.
How do I submit my own Believe It or Not?
Our management team would be happy to assist you in submitting your unbelievable fact or information on an unusual item.
