When you think of Blackpool Pleasure Beach, the first things that probably spring to mind are roller coasters, candyfloss, and a buzzing seaside atmosphere. But tucked away inside the park is something some visitors don’t realise exists – a Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Odditorium.
Yes, that’s right! Among all the thrills and rides, you can step into a world of the weird and wonderful. From bizarre artefacts to mind-bending illusions, Ripley’s is filled with themed galleries showcasing hundreds of exhibits.
Expect shrunken heads, optical tricks, unusual works of art, and quirky curiosities from all over the world.
It’s a perfect way to break up your day at the park, especially if you want a change of pace from the adrenaline of rides like The Big One or ICON. Families, in particular, will find it fascinating – kids love the mix of strange facts and interactive displays.
So, next time you’re at Pleasure Beach, don’t just head straight for the roller coasters. Take a detour into the world of the unusual – and prepare to leave saying, “I can’t believe it!”
