Where else can you take a picture with John Cena, give dap to President Obama, see a shrunken head and get your kids some play time? I know if I'm looking for a family friendly tourist spot, I'd want all of these! Locals and tourists can find it right here at Ripley's in San Antonio, TX.
We had some fun seeing all the celebrities, but also enjoyed seeing the historical figures that allowed us to have a little learning conversation at the same time! Next was Ripley's 4D Moving Theatre. We usually only get to experience these at tourist attractions, so it's always memorable. :)
Our final attraction is the Odditorium, Mr. Ripley traveled 201 countries and collected some of the strangest things! His nickname was the "Modern Marco Polo".
Oddities such as the history of Mexico on painted butterflies and bats.
 And a whole floor of hands on puzzles and learning activities that keep the kids very busy.
Towards the end is a mind bending tunnel to walk through and interactive dance wall that leave you feeling all the fun vibes!
Tourist or not, Ripley's was a great adventure for us! As we travel and our kids have gotten older (almost 10 years old) we are always looking for an attraction besides a children's museum. At Ripley's we found some never seen or even talked about artifacts, some play so the kids don't get antsy, celebrities they love and even a short movie!
