Ripley's Believe it or not!

I've heard of this place, even walked past it before, but have never been in it.

Is it suitable for kids (girls) of age 6 and 4?

    We took our youngest two when they were 8 and 10 and they LOVED it, I thought it was well worth the entry fee, there's lots to do, and my children are sponges for knowledge, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
  • You can use Tesco vouchers (convert online). I wouldn't pay full price.

    I took DS last friday for his birthday. Paid £22 for 2 tickets on wowcher.

    Wouldnt pay full price and was glad we went when it was quiet it would have been horrid if it was packed.

    it may be too late; the website says:
    "NOTE: The attraction will be closed from 7.30pm on Thursday 29th January 2015 (last admission 6.00pm)"

    or perhaps they mean at ?

    Thanks everyone. I think I'll leave it for now. I saw an offer on here about paying full price for an adult and then a child getting in for £1 and it made me think about it.

    I could also persuade my 4 year old to pretend she's 3 as under 4s are free. She's quite small and clever and will keep quiet for a Kinder Egg!

    I would say it's a bit too grown up for them anyway, most of the exhibits have notes explaining about them so would require stopping, reading and explaining all the time, and some might be scary. But definitely go on an offer it's way overpriced,


    Happy moneysaving all.
