"They don’t close at seven they close at 6 PM"

We were in San Antonio for the solar eclipse. We arrived on Friday before and we’re leaving on Wednesday. Saturday we had purchased the four pack ticket to Ripley’s to see all of their experiences and were breaking it up into two days. We arrived just before six on Monday expecting to have an hour to complete another experience and were surprised to find out that they closed at 6 pm… they advertise on Google and even TripAdvisor that they close at 7pm. there are five of us and that is a big huge waste of money and I hope they give us a refund but I doubt they will

This museum has a diverse collection of ancient artifacts and quirky curiosities that can appeal to both children and adults. You can easily spend an hour immersed in the fascinating and one-of-a-kind exhibits, making it a perfect indoor activity for a rainy day in San Antonio. The museum is centrally located near the Riverwalk and is close to many of the Downtown hotels.

"Enjoyable"
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 21, 2024
We paid to visit all four attractions. Pricing wasn’t too expensive. It was the Ripley’s Museum, Wax Museum, Fun House and a 3-D ride. We enjoyed all of them with the exception of the ride, it was underwhelming. The staff was ver friendly and we enjoyed seeing everything. Fun for families with kids or even a rainy day activity.

"A nice surprise"
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5
Reviewed August 09, 2023
While in San Antonio my grandkids were moderately interested in history, marginally interested in the Riverwalk, and it was very hot. We decided to go to Ripley's Believe it or Not. I did not expect much but it was full of fascinating displays and special effects. It was a bit expensive but two plus hours in the air conditioning and fun for the kids was worth it. The oldest was 12 years old and she loved it. It was not boring for any of us.

"Fun for the family!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed March 16, 2023
A fun way to spend time with the family! Three generations of our family went and everyone enjoyed it! The 4D movie was a first for me and I found it fun. The grandchildren found the wax museum interesting as they'd never seen such. I suggest you take your time when visiting, as there are hidden treasures, but you have to look close to find them!
