Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum
Took my wifey and kids here for spring break. Lots of fun stuff to see here. Didnt care much about the ancient artifact stuff but the brain teaser artwork was really cool. Tickets are a decent price at $12.99. One of those places you have to go at least once.
Heres a tip. Dont make any funny faces in the mirror.

Cool place for all ages. Clean, not to long, and a great variety of interesting items to look at.

This place is actually pretty damn cool.
I have never been to a Ripleys' Museum and I have always loved the Ripleys' books and magazines. This place has some awesome exhibits and trivia. I especially enjoyed the 16th-17th century German torture devices and the Niagara Falls trivia displays. It's funny to see some of the freakshow stuff in here.
The tickets here, yea a bit expensive. The thing is, you could spend that same amount of money anywhere else on this street on less impressive stuff.

Purely based on kids' veiwpoint: They luved it.
Interactive, picture spots, hands-on exhibits, good, clean fun.
Tickets purchased directly from their site are a good discount, i think $5 off adult, $3 off child. They also have other specials listed.

Similar to all the other Ripley's Museums I have visited however there is still a TON of interesting stuff to look at. The museum is located on Clifton Hill in Niagara Falls, it is easy to access, a little pricey but worth it, and a great place to visit with the kids (especially when its raining!!)
Word of advice, if you can...stop and read all the little signs and trivia plaques on the wall, it'll make the experience all the more worth it.

I'm assuming that if you're going to Ripley's museum in Niagara Falls you have some idea of what to expect - complete and utter kitsch. My mom used to take my brother and I here when we were young (about 20 years ago) and as far as I can tell the museum is almost entirely unchanged. There is a collection of somewhat sketchy artifacts and kind of awful wax statues, all accompanied with an interesting fact or witty anecdote. The only information that I found to be sorely absent was how Mr. Ripley acquired the artifacts in question. To be honest the whole thing is pretty fun in a goofy sort of way, but it's not a MUST if you're at the falls.

Hubby's co-worker suggested we check this out while we were visiting. After a few drinks on our first night in Niagara, we popped in. It was priced alright, with options to go to the ride across the street & one of the wax museums -- but we opted just for the museum itself.
There were all sorts of oddities to be seen - shrunken heads, artwork on rice, world's tallest man's shoes & a ton of other things. In fact, there were so many items in this collection that I hardly believe that we saw everything that was in there. Definitely just a random collection of items, but if you're at all interested in oddities, I suggest checking it out.

It's tough to ignore the garish side of Niagara Falls. Clifton Hill is
what happens when there are no restrictions placed on what goes beside a
world landmark, but now that it's there, there isn't a whole lot you can
do about it so you might as well enjoy it. I went to Ripley's Believe
It or Not with some trepidation. It just didn't look like the kind of
place I'd like and not just because it cost $12 to get in. I was pleasantly surprised because it really is place worth visiting. This cabinet of curiosities is how museums would look
if the circus ran them and not PHDs. You can see a two headed goat or a
model of the Empire State building made completely out of toothpicks and
hundreds of other oddities that you wouldn't imagine existed but are
glad that they do. When you go to Niagara Falls and find yourself
tired of the rushing water I would recommend going to Ripley's, the
price is a bit steep but you definitely get your moneys' worth and it
will enrich your experience at the falls.

I have frequented a few of these museums in the US and have to say, this one is the best one and best placed location than I ever have seen aside form Orlando. This location is on busy Clifton Hill in Niagara Falls filled with honky tonk heaven wax museums and arcades and IMAX theatres etc. If you visit here in the summer, forget it, since this area is probably jammed packed. In the winter it was a treat, and it sits in the middle of the hill. The outside is a turned over building of the empire state building with King Kong climbing up it. Upstairs from the place is the famous Rumors nightclub. The inside of this place is a twisting maze of facts and dispalys and exhibits and even some related to Niagara Falls with stunts and movies. It is really awesome stuff and something to see for the whole family. There is a lot to read so leave yourself extra time. Bring a camera because there are spots to take pictures as well. This is a must visit well in this touristy area!!
