Fun for the whole family

This may sound like a cheesy tourist trap but it is really a very fun way to spend a few hours, especially with children. There are many unique, interesting and fun things to see and do inside. We've visited here many times and always enjoy it.

Kids had a great time seeing the wax figures and believe it or not stuff. They were very interesting.

Not Enough for the Money

It's older and a bit dated now. Expensive to see all that is offered and doesn't take long to go through. Reading is a huge deal here and some displays cheesy. Kids might find it fun but the older adult may think it's a waste of money.

Classic Ripley's

Ripley's Newport is a wonderfully classic Ripley's attraction. If you are a fan, you know what you are getting. If you are not, you will get a variety of interactive exhibits, strange art, unusual animals, local lore, and historic oddities. This one has a more classic feel - like something you'd find at Ripley's museums in the 90s. It does not have as many flashy displays as you would see in big cities. That is completely ok with me as it is fun to see the variation across attractions. You should definitely add the quirky wax museum on as a small upcharge to your ticket. It will take you a couple of hours to work through both attractions. As a lover of roadside attractions, it is great to see a Ripley's on the Oregon Coast, which is fairly sparse on classic roadside attractions.

Fun Place to Splurge on.

I grudgingly went here with my 13 year old son thinking it was just another tourist trap. However, I have to say it was a fun time. It took about 45 minutes to get through and it was modern and well renovated. It costs about $20 a person and you can add the wax museum for another $5. The wax museum was equally as impressive. I had a $5 discount so it cost about $65 for myself, wife and son to do the two sections. Not to bad for and hour and a half of fun.
