"Waste of money"

Reviewed March 27, 2025

Complete crap. Not worth $50+ for 3 people. Lots of photos and a thing else was ridiculous. Please see a movie, play mini golf, read a book anything instead. Donate your money to a good cause.

This place is not like the other Ripleys we have been too. It was so expensive and has turned into a mini arcade. Around every other corner is a game and even a change machine ! The 4d theatre is permanently closed I was pretty disappointed overall with the price and what you get.

"Overall good experience"

Reviewed October 21, 2023

Overall, very good experience. Not for people or kids who don’t like to read, although there is a lot of stuff that the kids will like and read. There is lots of fun mini games to play through the museum. All the workers we encountered were very nice and polite. All you had to do to buy tickets is enter the building and go to the museum.

It was exactly as you would expect. Lots of oddities and strange stuff. I especially like the tall man.

"Not for non-reading kids"

Reviewed May 30, 2023

This is an okay experience for older children - many small artifacts under glass with placards to read. There are interspersed to pay for games in the museum. My 6 year old child only liked the games, the laser maze (also a paid for experience but we paid for it with the Combo ticket), and the 4-D movie at the end. My 9 year old did enjoy looking at the extremely varied artifacts and reading the information provided. We felt that the experience was not worth the money but if done again we would wait until both kids are old enough to appreciate it.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ripley's Believe It or Not! Williamsburg

What goes on in the 4D Theater?
We have two different shows running in our theater. They alternate every half hour starting one hour after we open. The shows are similar to an amusement park ride, only the chairs do not move so no one gets tossed around. Each show is about 15 minutes long. You watch them with 3D glasses while we spray you with air and water, tickle your legs and several other surprises. The shows themselves are appropriate for all ages, although sometimes small children are scared of the dinosaurs.

Are your exhibits different from other Ripley’s?
Yes! Everything is real and unique. Some of the Odditoriums may have a few of the same wax figures, but the artifacts are all unique to each show.

Are the attractions wheelchair accessible?
We are ADA compliant and we have 4 available spaces in our 4D Theater specially designed for guests in wheelchairs.

Where can I park?
We have ample and free parking at the Odditorium.

Do you have a snack bar?
We do not allow food or beverages in the attractions, but there are approximately 20 restaurants within a 1-mile radius of our location.

Can I take pictures?
Yes. You may take as many pictures as you’d like.
