BALTIMORE, MD, USA — It was literally a mini start to a mega attraction as the newest Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Odditorium in the world welcomed media to a sneak peek at its new location in the Light Street Pavilion on Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.
The final exhibit was delivered this morning – a Mini Cooper car covered with one million Swarovski crystals. As the car drove up and stopped in front of the attraction, out popped the driver, Mini Gene Simmons of the popular Mini Kiss band, to the crowd’s delight! The two-story, 10,000 square feet Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Baltimore Odditorium features an eye-popping collection of unbelievable exhibits, unusual artwork and amazing artifacts from around the world.

Ripley’s Marvelous Mirror Maze features nearly 2,000 square feet of mirrored paths, surprising corners, dead ends and continuous circles!
