Only go to this attraction on either a 2for 1 (with train travel offer) OR I see Tesco clubcard now include this place in their Clubcard magazine for £5. At the start of the walk around, I thought it was going to be a disappointment, with lots of pictures or copies of items on walls, or behind glass (not non-reflective, so hard to see). However, further on there were more actual real exhibits, some unpleasant, some fascinating. There is a torture chamber you might want to guide children through quickly, and they can press a button to electrocute a man, but I saw that this was the most popular exhibit! On the whole, plenty to look at-DO take time to read the labels and watch videos, but don't go expecting to learn much other than the fact that Ripley's has a prime money-making spot in Piccadilly.
