Why you should go…
Tucked into Fisherman's Wharf, this outpost of the Believe It or Not! franchise fills several floors with oddities, illusions, and strange-but-true artifacts collected from around the world. Interactive exhibits and a mirror maze make it a popular rainy-day stop for families visiting the wharf. It's part of the long-running chain built on Robert Ripley's newspaper cartoons of the bizarre.
