What) Since Robert Ripley’s first cartoon strip in 1918, Ripley’s has been collecting oddities from around the world, featured in books, fairs and Ripley’s famous Odditoriums. You can experience all the wonder of the world’s most bizarre sights right here in Newport, from the “live” stage show to shrunken heads to the magic harp. And be careful not to step over the edge of the universe in the deep-space hall of mirrors. Step right up and prepare to be amazed.  You’ve never seen anything like it! (1)

    Why) This is the third Ripley's I have been to but it was Pam's first one.  So, when it turned out to be a poor quality museum, it made it much less likely that Pam would agree to another one.  Would you believe that we will be driving past eight Ripleys museums on our Florida trip?  I wonder how many I will end up visiting?
