Acrobatics, Knife Juggling And Taking A Nap On A Bed Of Nails - Half Term At Ripley's Believe It Or Not! London

Ripley

With expert street performers sporting a range of unusual skills from escapology to sword swallowing, Ripley’s Believe It or Not! London has got half term entertainment covered.

 

Live performances from Pete Dobbing, the man who juggles with knives at the top of a free standing ladder and Spikey Will who lies in between two beds of nails and asks a member of the audience to stand on top on him for 10 seconds are just a handful of live performances taking place throughout half term at Ripley's Believe It or Not! London.

 

Home to the unusual, the wonderful and the plain bizarre, Ripley’s Believe It or Not! London is the only place in the UK where guests can check out a life-sized knitted Ferrari, take a peek at 75 million year old dinosaur eggs, come face-to-face with an albino alligator and marvel at the original ‘Toot Sweet’ machine featured in the film, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Kids will also love the portrait of the attraction’s founder, famous explorer Robert Ripley, which is made entirely out of colourful bubble gum balls.

 

Ripley's Believe It or Not! London is open seven days a week, 365 days a year from 10am until midnight. Visit www.ripleyslondon.com for further information.

 

The Ripley’s Believe It or Not! London street performers will offer free performances between 2pm and 8pm, Friday 24 May – Friday 31 May 2013.
