Ripley's Believe it or Not! Announces Closure of San Francisco Location

Ripley's Believe it or Not! announced that its attraction on Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco would close before the end of the year. Company president Jim Pattison Jr. stated the decision was made after careful consideration. The museum, which opened in 1967, offered that a select group of exhibits with ties to the city would be available for purchase before the closure. A specific closing date has not been finalized.

The closure affects a long-time tourist fixture in San Francisco. The company stated that while the location was closing, they were not necessarily saying goodbye to San Francisco overall. The company also mentioned it would offer support to employees during the transition.
