The Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! museum said Thursday that it will close on Dec. 31 after more than 26 years of existence along the Boardwalk in Atlantic City..
“We’re grateful for the support of our fans and guests, whose curiosity, open-mindedness, and enthusiasm have contributed to our success for over 26 years,” Chris Connelly, the museum’s manager, said in a statement.
“We’re thankful to have offered a unique form of entertainment and education at the Jersey Shore, and we hope we have helped create wonderful memories for those who have come to visit.”
Connelly said the museum is closing because its local franchisee is reaching the end of its agreement with Ripley’s.
“They’re going to reimagine the space and come up with something new and fresh for the future,” he said.
