History

Ripley’s Believe It or Not was founded by American cartoonist and explorer Robert Ripley in the early twentieth century. His fascination with unusual facts and human achievements led him to travel across continents collecting stories and artifacts that challenged belief.

What began as a newspaper cartoon evolved into museums that celebrated curiosity rather than skepticism. The Niagara Falls location became one of the most popular Ripley’s attractions, drawing visitors with its blend of education, entertainment, and imagination.

Today, Ripley’s continues to inspire wonder by reminding visitors that truth can be stranger than fiction.
