You really have to see it to believe it! Orlando's Ripley's Believe it or not Odditorium is housed in a mansion that appears to be sinking into a famous everglade sinkhole! But don't worry – once inside, you can safely explore what Ripley has to offer. Each Ripley's offers a collection 90% different than any other, so you're assured of a great time no matter how many other odditoriums you may have visited. One of the unique Orlando Odditorium's features is a massive portrait of Van Gogh – created by a collage of over 3,000 smaller Van Gogh postcards! Or, for those who can stomach it, check out the South American shrunken head! This head was sent to Ripley by a South American fan with the note: "Please take good care of this. I think it is one of my relatives!"
Another star attraction is the Matchstick "Silver Ghost" Rolls Royce. This car was built entirely out of glue and matchsticks – 1,016,711 of them! And it even has moving parts, wheels that turn, and working headlights!
The average odditorium visit lasts about two hours, and is a self-guided experience. The museum is located at 8201 International Drive, Orlando, Florida. Believe it or not, you're note going to want to leave this zany world of oddities!
From Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditorium - Orlando, Florida:
The Orlando Odditorium appears to be sinking into one of Florida's infamous sinkholes. For over 40 years, Robert Ripley-- the modern Marco Polo and the real-life Indiana Jones-- traveled the world collecting the unbelievable, the inexplicable, the one-of-a-kind. All of it amazing and much of it extremely amusing.
