After reserving your room at The Embarcadero Resort & Marina, it’s time to turn your attention to researching what you want to do and see. One of the best things about Newport is the variety of activities and attractions. Whether searching for agates or visiting the aquarium, there’s no shortage of fun to be had. For an outing you’ll be talking about long after your vacation is over, check out Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Newport.
What to Know about the Newport Attraction
Ripley’s Believe It or Not World of Adventure in Newport is only a 15-minute walk from our hotel. This attraction is unlike any other in town. This is a go-to place to discover hundreds of unusual and rare artifacts.
Back in 1918, Robert Ripley began traveling the world to collect oddities. He took this unique collection to the Chicago World Fair in 1933, and Ripley’s Believe It or Not was created. Today, there are locations all over the world, including right here in Newport, that showcase bizarre sights.
The Newport attraction is broken into different sections. Each has a unique theme and artifacts, including a shrunken head, pop-culture memorabilia, and plenty of hands-on interactives, like a laser maze. You can explore the exhibits at your own pace, so you can spend as much time as you’d like in each area.
When purchasing tickets for your visit, we recommend purchasing the bundle package, which includes a ticket for Louis Tussaud’s WaxWorks. Found next door, this spot is filled with lifelike wax figures of celebrities, film and TV characters, and more.
