    I also have a piece of coal from the Titanic, bought from the exhibition back in the early nineties. It's one of my most prized possessions.

    I was here several years ago. In the evening, we went on the Ghost Tour that started & ended here. One of the Ghost, kept saying my daughter’s name. That’s not at all scary 😱. Thanks for the video Jacob. We were just in St Augustine last Sunday.

    Tried to import picture. My son, along with many others, has done the human flag with arms out straight just holding by hands. To be fair, I am a woman and as a young woman I did it and held it for several minutes in the pose he used. Congrats to him at advanced age for holding it for a long time.

    It really is a fun Ripley's. We love how the museum fits around the preexisting building. And it is funny how you said it closes promptly at 5. We did not know that and were taking our time. We were like a 1/3 way through the museum and workers came and told us they closed in 20 minutes and we had to rush the rest of the way through.

    Hey Jacob! If you have time, I hope you could make it down to Stuart, Florida. Its about two hours south of Orlando. There's some cool stuff you can check out there. Like the Elliott Museum (There's an exhibit on Pharoh Tutemkamun atm), the Oceanigraphic Center (you can pet and feed stingrays), and there's also a small heritage center as well. Plus the county fair just started too! Love your videos!

  • @jeannineh9080
    @jeannineh9080 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Unless it’s recently changed, the reason that one closes early is it does ghost tours in the evenings. I can’t remember if it’s part of the ghost train tour, or if it’s a separate ticket. I think it’s separate, as they provide ghost hunting equipment

When is this over censoring going to end!? ....probably when another video platform is created to rival CZcams. I keep asking, why censor youtube so heavily "for kids" when there is LITERALLY AN CZcams KIDS APP!? *sigh*... Thank you everyone for joining me on my rant today. P.S. Love you Jacob!
