Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum |
 |
Believe it or not, this is one of the most exciting stops in Branson! The museum features a collection of absurd yet true oddities that enthrall and
engage visitors. More than 400 displays can be found within the rather "shaky" building, which was designed to look as if it were almost felled
by the 1812 Missouri earthquake (8.0 on the Richter scale). In fact, the building is reported to be one of the most photographed spots in the city!
Don't miss your chance for the perfect pose. |
