Adults may get the bigger charge out of the wax stars -- Dustin Hoffman and Dallas Cowboy coach Tom Landry are among those in an impressive array -- and some of the oddities collected by the globe-trotting Mr. Ripley, but there's plenty for kids to enjoy at this twofer attraction. The walk-through wax Theater of Horrors, although low on gore compared to Friday the 13th-type adventures, usually elicits some shudders. At Believe It or Not, there are three floors of "unbelievable" stuff. Half of the second floor has to do with the Titanic. Youngsters generally get a kick out of learning about people around the world whose habits -- such as sticking nails through their noses -- are even weirder than their own. There are also a few interactive displays.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
