Orlando
The 1933 World's Fair in Chicago introduced Ripley's collection of 'oddities and unusual people' to the public. It may offend 21st-century politically correct sensibilities, this 'odditorium' offering Ripley's vision with no holds barred. Twenty-first-century additions tend to focus on the creation of odd, such as a dog sculpture made out of clothes pins, rather than the finding of odd.
It's all rather tired and, if in doubt, there are better things out there.
