Tips
- Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Baltimore does not have a parking facility on site, however there are dozens of parking garages and lots within easy walking distance to the Inner Harbor and Ripley’s. http://en.parkopedia.com/parking/301_light_street_baltimore_md_21202/
- Ripley’s Moving Theater and Ripley’s Marvelous Mirror Maze are located just above and to the right of the main museum entrance.
- Just a caveat- like all museums, Ripley's contains some art that may be immodest and some of the 4D films portray immodestly clad avatars
- Buy 2-way or 3-way Combo Tickets and save money
- It's a bit loud in the museum and not greatly conducive to deep conversation
- If you plan on just doing the Marvelous Mirror Maze, don't plan on it taking more then 20 minutes max. Do one of the other things with it.
