I would like to invite you to join my family on our first Homeschool Field Trip. Right after we decided to Homeschool Charlie David and I were going to Arlington to take Charlie to lunch. We passed Ripley’s Believe It or Not!
David asked if we wanted to go inside Ripley’s Believe It or Not! and let Charlie look around. I was both surprised and happy David asked because I hadn’t been inside Ripley’s Believe It or Not! I was a child.
As we got out of the car Charlie saw a King Kong out front. Charlie let me know this was his favorite part and we hadn’t even gone inside yet. For me I figured King Kong would be Charlie’s favorite and the reason we stopped. Be Charlie loves King Kong the movie.
Not only that David purchased a PS3 game that has King Kong in the Game. The first night Charlie had the Game he stayed up all night to play and he beat the Game.
Since then Charlie has been obsessed with King Kong. Anytime I find anything with King Kong on it I try and purchase it for Charlie because I know he will like what I get him.
Ripley’s Believe It or Not! has changed so much since I was a child. I am not sure they had as much stuff as they did when I were a child. Or even when Suzzane was smaller.
For our family visiting Ripley’s Believe It or Not! was a lot of fun. David and I will bring Charlie back not only for fun but also as a Homeschool Field Trip.
I would like to let you know there are 3 different parts to Ripley’s Believe It or Not!. Unlike when I was a child there was only one huge part. Breaking the attractions down into 3 parts is nice because we can choose to visit all of Ripley’s Believe It or Not! in one day or break it down into different days and be able to go on more Field Trips without Charlie becoming tired or bored.
Let’s pack a lunch and head back out to Ripley’s Believe It or Not! as I am sure there are things Charlie, David and I missed seeing when we went. Although before you join us I have one tip for you make sure you bring good walking shoes because you will need them. Along with some spending money for a Snack or Gift in the Gift Shop.
Experience our unique attractions including Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Odditorium, a state-of-the-art 7D Moving Theater, our mind-bending Mirror Maze, our challenging Laser Race, our sweet Candy Factory, and meet the stars at Louis Tussauds Palace of Wax
