Go ‘out of this world’ to celebrate International space day on Friday 3 May and delve into cosmic mysteries at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! London.
Get up close and personal with a fragment of Zagami Meteorite, one of only 34 pieces of meteorite identified as coming from Mars, and witness a snack bar that would have been a staple to astronauts on the Apollo XV moon landing mission. Pay homage to the men that have truly been where few have gone before with autographs from celebrated astronauts including Buzz Aldrin and browse through photos of the Apollo 16 mission to the moon.
Delve deep into the mysteries of cosmos as you test the power of gravity in the penny black hole. Or trick your friends with a photo of you disappearing into your very own black hole, in Ripley’s Believe It or Not spinning tunnel.
For those who like to keep their feet firmly on the ground, Ripley’s Believe It or Not! London is packed full of more than 700 amazing exhibits such as a model of Tower Bridge made entirely from matchsticks and a collection of genuine Amazonian Shrunken heads as well as the fun agility test in London’s largest LaseRace.
