Ripley's Believe It or Not! - Grand Prairie, Texas

Nok K.

I had no idea this place existed in Grand Prairie, Texas! All five attractions are under one roof: the Odditorium, Wax Museum, 7D Theater, Mirror Maze, and more! It’s surprisingly big; we spent over two hours exploring. It’s definitely worth the money for indoor fun! The hand waxing was also fun.

A special thanks to the staff, who were super friendly! Kay, thank you for the hand waxing for my girl! It was a great experience!.👍🏼👍🏼

I have never been, and have always wanted to go since I was a little girl. Is it worth the $200 for all five of us? No, but did we have fun? Yes. We laughed and enjoyed it. We did everything. It is clean. The employees are friendly. It's a nice place to hang out when the weather is meh. It wasn't busy at all. The perfume they use is a lot on the senses, but otherwise everything is well cared for. We spent almost two hours doing everything. I recommend going at least once.

Fun experience. The game didn’t work, but the wax museum and mirror maze were a blast. The 3d werewolf game was fun. We made our hands which was fun!

Such a cool place to go visit! We did the 3-pack and saw the wax museum, the Ripley’s Museum and the 7D Theater. All such good choices as adults with no kids. Go check it out! Super cool place!

I grew up here in DFW. My family and I have been driving past the Ripley's in Grand Prairie on the way to Six Flags for decades, always kicking ourselves and planning to add it to the next trip. Glad to have finally paid a visit to this local gem. We bought our tickets online in advance and scanned QR codes to access the attractions. (purchasing onsite and physical tickets are an option if that's your preference). Light concessions available - including booze. Numerous souvenir stations and a gift shop if you want to come away with something more tangible than memories.

The fun starts outside with the Taj Mahal inspired motif and several installations adjacent to the building; photo ops and factoids abound inside and out. The site is clean and pretty well maintained. The 5 attractions offer something of interest for almost anyone. You can save a few bucks if you know you'd rather pass on a couple. Overall, definitely worth a visit. We showed up around 1015 and left around 1330.

The attractions in my order of preference: Mirror Maze, Odditorium, Wax Museum, 7D Theater Ride, Power Up.

Mirror Maze. Self explanatory. As mirror mazes go, I was pleasantly surprised with how well this one is executed. The mirrors were very clean (grab the provided gloves at the entrance and pay it forward). It is easy to lose track of others and yourself.

Ripley's Odditorium. An eclectic mix of interesting facts, artifacts and activities. There is sure to be *something* for everyone. Videos, displays, Illusions, Perot Museum style activities, history, pop culture, and somethings that are just, well, odd.

Wax Museum. A fun mix of figures that also runs the gamut. History, entertainment, comics, politics, the Bible, and horror. Part museum, part haunted house (don't miss the claustrophobia room!). Love 'em or hate 'em, the wax figures are something to see, and the displays set the scene and provide tons of information.

7D Moving Theater: Interactive 3D movie (robots or werewolves) where your seats move with the on screen action, and you blast on screen characters for points and bragging rights versus other participants. A fun, somewhat brief chance to get off your feet for a few minutes.

Power Up: Not bad per se, but this is a stand-and-shoot feature with interactive images projected on three walls. Think more 'shooting gallery' than 'laser tag.' The website shows it pretty well, not bad - but understand what you are getting here.

All in all, a pretty good time. Would recommend and may return with out-of-town visitors.

This place is terrific! I had such a blast here, it’s not everyday you get to see shrunken heads and learn a lot of random facts. The wax museum is super cool, you get to see all the presidents and bible people. Great clean place for family. Come visit! You won’t regret it. I bought my tickets online and used honey, I saved over $12 per ticket for 5 attractions.

My son and I had a great time here. They have added a few cool things and really stepped it up since the last time I went years ago. Their interactive game wasn't functioning properly (my son wasn't happy about that at all). You can even make a wax hand with molding clay now (additional cost of course). If go back for sure. This is a great place to take your kids... very family oriented/friendly.
