Pros: interesting and fun for the whole family
Cons: In a town like Gatlinburg there are more exciting things to do
Summary: This was a very fun stop in a very fun town. Always something to do that's interesting and Ripley's is no exception. Some of the things in this museum were unbelievable even though I saw them with my own two eyes. It's definately a nice place to go if ... read more
