Mexico: New Ripley’s Belive It or Not! Location Opened in Cancun

In the Mexican tourist hotspot Cancun, the latest Ripley‘s Belive It or Not! Odditorium location has opened located in the La Isla mall, where Ripley Entertainment already operates two other visitor attractions with Ripley‘s Marvelous Mirror Maze and Ripley‘s LaseRace. The franchisee for the new cabinet of curiosities, is industry veteran and former IAAPA Chair Rene Aziz. The Odditorium offers visitors no less than eleven galleries with around 400 different exhibits and special features. These include various optical illusions all equipped with a photo point, curious works of art and also a replica of the tallest person in medical history to date – Robert Wadlow (*1918 †1940) was an incredible 2.72 metres tall.

“Amidst the challenge of designing and constructing an attraction during a pandemic, the Cancun franchise team has been hard at work, overcoming obstacles for two years to see this amazing attraction come together. We are proud of what the team has accomplished and are excited to have a strong presence in Mexico’s top tourist destination,” commented Phyllis Calloway, Ripley’s VP of Franchise Services. The opening of the Cancun location marks the 28th Ripley’s Belive It or Not! Odditorium location worldwide. (eap)
