Matías GagliardoneFebruary 26, 2019Super cool museum. I’ve been wanting to visit it for a while, I’m glad I did so in St. Augustine. Full of cool facts, tricks and incredible but real information. It’s really worth the visit.
JuniorNovember 10, 2014Tons of random factoids to keep you entertained. Wish there was more guidance or engaging exhibits but overall a great venue to visit and explore. You will love the Vortex!
Grace SurielAugust 18, 2011Really fun, certain exhibits might be a bit much for kids under 7-8, overall though really good for families. We got our tickets on St. George street for $3 off each.
Aliette ValienteJuly 20, 2014the kids enjoyed it, but this is one of those museums in which all you need is 1 1.5 hours. So save yourself some money by purchasing your tickets online because they are more expensive at the door.
Kayla HowellApril 4, 2016Ghost tour was pretty cool. Enjoyed it with my wife but I thought it was bogus on how much we paid only to stop two places plus the castle itself.
Greysn RileyJuly 12, 2016You could get trolley tickets right at the front desk, and the entire museum was very entertaining. Also great A/C ✌🏼️
Justeen KellerNovember 10, 2013Was a neat place to check out. A lot of interactive things for you to try. Yes, it is a tad spendy in my opinion.
Ripley's Believe It or Not!September 13, 2012All educators and school personnel employed in the state of Florida are FREE between September 4th - October 14th with a current pay stub and a photo ID. All guests of teachers receive 50% off!
I don't even find the exhibits worth it for the *local* ticket price, but the building is gorgeous, historic, and worth seeing.
Chris SilkJuly 4, 2013A nice attraction, but not a "must-do." The museum is extremely loud; many exhibits auto-play very loud sounds in a small space. Also, be prepared for some stomach-churning sights, like shrunken heads
Ted TrentlerJuly 6, 2015Not much different than the one in Orlando but if you've never been worth a trip
Liz A.July 24, 2010An absolute MUST see if in St Augustine! Plan to spend 3+ hours in there! Also, DO NOT eat before going, there are quite a few exhibits that might induce vomiting in the weak stomached.
Steve BowenMay 2, 2014Do NOT take the ghost tour. It is terrible, boring, and way short. They walk thru the pamphlet you can read about only it's less entertaining. Most of the tour is spent enduring crappy jokes. 👎
Katt L.March 15, 2013The ORIGINAL Ripley's where Robert Ripley intended his collection to be housed.
Denna BeenaNovember 10, 2011Bring 5 cans of can food in and get $5 ticket through the month of November (11/11)

"Really cool place to hang out at night when the inside is closed. You get a great night time view of the old town."

"There is a fair amount to see and do here. Wasn't sure what to expect but it was a great way to spend a few hours as a family. Blacksmith demonstration was very interesting."
