Amazing

Jessica_W, Dec 2025

This is an insightful trip that is independent which I loved and there is so much to learn and enjoy

Don't waste your time or money

anniem75, Mar 2025

Poor. Displays were very poor. Interactive parts didn't work. Staff at reception not friendly, issues with tickets online. Wouldn't accept. Only for tickets and tours girl who got us in. Wouldn't recommend

Ripleys experience

Jacqueline_M, Mar 2025

Great experience from Start to finish. Could spend all day in there if you wanted to! Pleasant staff also.

Very small and short for...

Becky_S, Mar 2025

Very small and short for the money you pay for the tour, wouldn’t go again. Expected it to be longer

Believe it or not

Matthew_L, Jan 2025

Definitely would recommend going here, loads to see and do, some really interesting and weird/random stuff.

An absolute must

Dolores_C, Dec 2024

I booked this because I saw lots of reviews and people reccomend it and my boyfriend and I were not disappointed. The museum was really interesting, educating and covered lots of different topics. It took a while to go around and wasn’t too expensive either. I will be going back there!

Not for all ages

savannahkysolomon, Sep 2024

found this experience to be a waste of time. It’s only suitable for families with children up to 10 years old. I was disappointed and felt it was a waste of money.

Great time for all ages

Jennifer_D, Sep 2024

Much larger than what I had first imagined. Alot of interesting and fun facts - portions are interactive. The exhibits are of good quality and keeps you engaged. There are many floors with various areas of interest, but something for everyone.

Ripleys

Sarah_B, Aug 2024

Great place and plenty to see. Lots of different things and plenty to read along the way. Would recommend

Meh

Miriam_Z, Aug 2024

Seemed expensive for what it is and filled with upcharges for additional experiences inside. There is a room that can register your scream in decibels which….if you’re traveling with a family….can come in quite handy. Was a good break from the rain for our family of 4 but, overall, would not recommend unless you’re really in need of a filler. Note: it was quite warm on all of the floors until you get to the cafe at the top.

Mixed bag

Katherine_M, Aug 2024

Ripleys is a mixed bag.really. The things you see are great and really informative. The venue is very easy to find. Only down side is they let to many people in and so as it’s busy you can’t always get to see everything ,

Fabulous if you love the weird and strange

Heidi_D, Jul 2024

Thought this was excellent, full of interesting facts and oddities, loved the fact that it’s on various floors of the building and keeps you wondering what’s around the next corner. Would definitely recommend a visit here.

See Something Different

Helen_C, Jul 2024

Very enjoyable, some interesting items, well set out, seemed to go on and on. A change from the normal tourist destinations, had a laugh and sometimes a scare. Staff seemed to enjoy their work and were very helpful.

Ok but not sure it’s worth the money.

Ann_W, May 2024

Some good exhibits. Some interactive things weren’t working. We liked the option of scary route or alternative route.

Quirky place with quirky stuff

Sheri_M, May 2024

Really great place to visit staff are friendly and there’s a lot of exhibits to see suitable for all ages.

Good way to spend a couple of hours

nanniesflower, Apr 2024

Very good attraction with plenty of interaction to keep everyone involved. Excellent thing to do on a rainy day.

Great fun

Karen_M, Dec 2023

What a great time. Loved everything about it. Read, saw and experienced so many amazing things. Absolutely well worth the money.

Loved it

Millie_M, Nov 2023

Really interesting, loved the interactive sections like the tunnel or the “selfie spots”. Also loved the “scary” section and the statues to actually show how tall things are.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Dear Millie, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are thrilled to hear that you loved your visit to Ripley's Amsterdam. The tunnel is indeed the highlight of the experience. We can't wait to welcome you back soon. Best regards, Ripley's Believe It or Not! Amsterdam

Don’t bother going!!!

Peter_L, Sep 2023

Pre purchased ticket, wasn’t accepted when I arrived, bought another ticket only to be incredibly disappointed by the offering. Whilst I was not expecting a five star Cirque de Soleil, I was expecting more than a 19th century cabinet of curiosities, extremely disappointed, first for their mess up not allowing me to utilise my first paid ticket, then the terrible displays once I paid a second time. Don’t bother going!!!

Great fun

Jake_R, Aug 2023

A very fun way to spend a couple of hours. There is a lot to see and read with a lot of unexpected attractions.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Dear Jake, Thank you for your 5-star rating. We sure do believe that you had a good time at Ripley's! What was your favourite part of the museum? You are always welcome to visit us in the future. Kind regards, Ripley's Believe It or Not!

Great

Eve_P, Aug 2023

Had a great time, took an hour to get round, really interesting. Little cafe also in the museum which sold snacks and drinks

Pretty good x

Louise_B, Mar 2023

Very good a d informative. Lots of Interactive things to do. There were a few displays where the interactive part was not working though.

Great place to visit

Stacey_M, Feb 2023

Great place to visit if you haven't been before, lots of things to do and try while there also, definitely worth the money.

Great selfies

Emily_D, Jan 2023

Brilliant museum with such interesting facts. Great for all ages and brilliant photos opportunities.

Interesting couple off hours

John_M, Nov 2022

Wooden car, interactive stuff and some good photo opportunities. We have been twice to Ripleys on international drive twice, what can I say😉

Good time

Dan_V, Oct 2022

Large and intersting collection. We had a good time. Self paced experience. Would definitely recommend.

Interesting

Jan_M, Sep 2022

Tons of interesting facts which will really amaze you. Could spend at least an hour to explore the whole museum if you’re that guy that reads everything.

An amazing adventure!

Dejan_S, Apr 2022

A must-do in Amsterdam, never seen so much curiosity in 2 hours in my life. A lot interesting things to learn and much fun. Every pice is a story for itself, Ripley was really an adventurer. Our full recommendation!!
