I would definitely recommend this museum for teenagers who get easily bored at museums that aren't interactive.

Ripley’s Believe It or Not!

Purveyors of the jaw-dropping, mind-boggling, and eye-opening since 1939.

This is a cool place to come with kids and show them some cool world records...there's always something new.
