For the first time in the Middle East and coinciding with the celebration of their 100th anniversary, this world-renowned attraction is coming to WAFI from North America in the form of a travelling show.
The world-renowned Ripley’s Believe It or Not! welcomes all visitors to WAFI and guess what, its FREE! Witness a variety of weird and wonderful exhibits covering themes including transportation, recycling, a five-legged cow and Hobby Art, featuring a huge ‘Van Gogh’ made with post cards – all in the middle East for the first time!
You will find over 75 ‘Believe It or Not!’ exhibits across WAFI. These will be displayed until November and feature interactive elements in some locations too; come ready to contort your body into a tiny box!
The American franchise, founded by Robert Ripley, deals in bizarre events and items so strange and unusual that readers might question the claims. Originally a newspaper panel, the Believe It or Not! feature proved popular and was later adapted into a wide variety of formats, including radio, television, comic books, a chain of museums and a book series. The Ripley collection includes 20,000 photographs, 30,000 artifacts and more than 100,000 cartoon panels. With 80-plus attractions, the Orlando-based Ripley Entertainment, Inc., a division of the Jim Pattison Group, is a global company with an annual attendance of more than 12 million guests. Ripley Entertainment's publishing and broadcast divisions oversee numerous projects, including the syndicated TV series, the newspaper cartoon panel, books, posters, and games.
