If looking at unusual and things of oddity is your thing, including Ripley’s Believe It or Not Odditorium in your Orlando attraction planning is a must.

This amazing adventure is affordable to all families. For just twenty dollars per person at the entrance or discount tickets sold online, a different experience can be made.
An up-front warning: Some rooms are not suitable for younger children so planning should account for this. Two rooms which young children should not view are the animals’ room and the medieval collection. Some items in these rooms are classified as being morbidly grotesque. Other than that, other rooms will hold assorted items ranging from the comically whacked-out to plain odd.
Astounding collections of oddities that meet you while walking through the different rooms include candy art, miniature terracotta soldiers, lint art, and wax figures of strange animals and human deformities.
Besides having items of unique weirdness to view, this Orlando attraction has rooms that will mess with your sense of vision and balance. Slanting floors and walls lined with interactive optical illusions await your senses. The end of the tour consists of a tunnel which is available to walk through. This tunnel will make a person feel like they are actually walking sideways. A word of caution: If you have balance issues, vertigo or motion sickness, this tunnel should be avoided.
So, let’s review a few oddities one can experience while walking through this Orlando attraction.
The Ripley’s Believe It or Not Legendary African Fertility statue is positioned at the main entrance. It is believed that the person touching this statue becomes fertile and will conceive. It is said over 2500 women claim it has actually helped them become pregnant.
The two-headed shark can be added to its line of “pranks of nature” list. Ripley’s has always dared to present the unbelievable yet the two-headed bull shark tops the list. Legend is told a fisherman caught a shark off the Florida Keys, when opening the shark up the two-headed fetus was inside. Odd or weird, it is available for you to believe it or not.
Interestingly is the area for scientific interaction. With the world performing “organ” transplants to save lives, Ripley’s is now allowing visitors to see scientists’ blog and present results after doing a “fecal” transplant. At this Orlando attraction visitors are able to see how scientists are using donor fecal matter and transplanting it into needed recipients to help cure diseases such as Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and other metabolic and/or gut diseases.
