Ripley's Believe It or Not

Fodor's Review:

"Odditorium" is a good name for it—while the ticket price may be a bit steep for these slighted faded relics of the bizarre and sometimes creepy— where else can you see a bikini made of human hair, a sculpture of Marilyn Monroe made of shredded money, a "killing kit" from 1850, and animal freaks of nature? You're asked to "believe it or not," and many of the curiosities may fail a strict authenticity test, but it still offers some goofy fun.
