1. Ripley’s Believe It or Not Odditorium
I grew up watching Ripley’s Believe It Or Not on TV. Perhaps because of that early influence, I have been fascinated by odd facts of the world – knowledge that is of no use in life, maybe just help me answer one or two questions in game shows.

You can imagine how delighted I was to discover that Ripley’s Believe It Or Not has a gallery at SkyAvenue, Resorts World Genting. Called Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Odditorium, there are some 400 exhibits to entertain visitors.

7. J.T. Saylors – The Girner
I would suggest spending at least half a day at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Odditorium if you are also into oddities, curiosities and all things extraordinary. Take time to read information on the exhibits, in both English and Mandarin. Shocking as they are, these are true facts.
8. Johnny Eck – the World’s Most Amazing Man
9. The Girl With The Pearl Earring
10. Paduang Tribal Neck Coils
Take as many photos as you wish, pose with the bizarre Vampire Woman, J. T. Saylors, Johnny Eck, and many other displays, like the commemoration of the World Trade Centre made entirely from matchsticks.

If you are in search of prosperity, the lucky room at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Odditorium is the right place to be. There are collections of lucky charms from tribes around the world, such as Ho Tei: The Good Luck Buddha. Have you wish granted by rubbing his enormous belly.

15. Pumpkin Carriage
16. Toy Dog (L) & Junk Art Figures
Although I have included many photographs in this post, this is just a preview! Trust me, there are many more to see and to marvel at. A spectacular time is guaranteed if you are someone like me who likes weird stuff and odd facts.

I highly recommend Ripley’s Believe It or Not Odditorium – it is also suitable for children. There’s so much to learn here, things that we do not ordinarily come across.
