I visited the Baltimore Harbor this summer. It has sightseeing boats, restaurants, shops, and the Ripley's Believe or Not Odditorium, and much more.
I have always been curious about what oddities that you would find at these Ripley places that are in different locations around the world. So, my sisters and I decided to take a chance and explore.
We saw many different things: one of the world's smallest cars, a mummy of a falcon, an exhibit of toothpick replicas of the Manhattan skyline and other famous places, a mirror maze, a 4D ride, a replica of some of the biggest people in the world in height and size, replicas of people with physical variations, like a 3-legged man, female Siamese twins, and many other curiosities.
The 4-D movie ride was fun and interesting. You watch and become a part of cartoons that are shown. The seats move and shake so that you are having the same experience as the characters on the screen. In one movie, you are part of a high speed car race and in the other, you are part of the Roadrunner and Coyote cartoon. I think there is or was a similar ride in the Empire State Building, except the ESB used real footage instead of cartoons. We then went to have some scrumptious frozen custard at a place that had huge lines around it. The wait was worth it!
We would have taken a ride on the boats, but we went to brunch for a few hours, so we ran out of time. We will have to go to the aquarium and cruise on some of the tour boats at another time.
It was a great day! So, if you want to have a low key day with lots of fun and/or funky stuff to do, then......TRY IT!!!!
