In the center room there is a crashed plane with a jungle feel to it, a lot like Indiana Jones. There are exhibits around the plane and rooms around it as well. You can see the rope bridge we crossed in the top right corner of this picture.
Another view of the plane. In the top left of this picture you can see a wax figure of "The most horrific of the medieval torturers" Vlad Tepes, the real Count Dracul. There is no evidence that Vlad the Impaler, as he was nicknamed, ever actually drank anyone's blood, but it is safe to say he was an extremely bloodthirsty ruler. In the room behind him they had many exhibits about VAMPIRES.
Always lots of icky weird things to look at.
Various mouse traps on display.
Robert Ripley called genetically mutated animals "Pranks of Nature" and relished displaying some of the most unusual animals ever seen by man.
No Ripley's museum is complete without a gallery of one-of-a-kind bizarre "pets".
A gallery of headstones. This one caught my eye, Here lies an Atheist all dressed up and no place to go. I couldn't find a picture of the one that had a scope in it so you could see down into the coffin without lifting it open. They had one with a breathing tube just in case you were buried alive.
Another that made me laugh.
