Ripley's Believe it or not
Ripley's is located inside Royal Garden Plaza on beach road. I think it is on the top most floor, 3rd floor. If you can find your way to Royal Garden Plaza, you can never miss Ripley's. Here there are more than 300 of extraordinary items from all over the world that is sure to leave you amazed. You may also want to try Ripley's motion master theater, this is a high tech movie system that will make your senses believe you are in the movie with all sound affects and specially created movie. Recently they've just started Ripley's haunted adventure. This is not just a normal haunted house, my personally advice is that this is not a place for soft hearted ladies and kids. Go with your girlfriend :D. Ripley's laser trek, another adventure by Ripley's. The objective is to use laser gun shooting at each other, even the arena will shoot back at you. Its fun but I recommend you to go in as a group of 5 or more up to 26 people. They only allow 26 people. You can go in alone too, but its not going to be fun.
