Ripley’s Believe It or Not! will close its Fisherman’s Wharf location in San Francisco on Dec. 1 after 60 years.
The attraction opened on Feb. 2, 1967. Notable visitors included Michael Jackson, Joe DiMaggio and former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown.
“We’ve had nearly 60 unbelievable years at Fisherman’s Wharf, and we want these final weeks to be a celebration,” said Jim Pattison Jr., president of Ripley’s Believe It or Not! World Entertainment. “Whether you visited us as a kid, brought your own kids years later, or have somehow never made it through our doors, we hope you’ll come see us one more time.”
To mark the end of its run, every Thursday leading up to the final day guests can experience Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for $19.67. Admission on closing day will return to original 1967 attraction prices at just $1.50 for adults and 75 cents for kids.
Some of its strangest treasures are also going up for auction. Guests can bid on items such as Joe DiMaggio’s crutches, a chicken-wire portrait of Janis Joplin and toothpick replicas of the Golden Gate Bridge.
