If you haven\u2019t already guessed, its Ripley\u2019s Believe It or Not! In line with DTCM\u2019s \u2018Back to School\u2019, WAFI will open doors to this one-of-a-kind exhibition that will spread across the whole destination.<\/p>\n<p>Visitors will be able to enjoy a variety of weird and wonderful exhibits of all sizes and a number of interactive elements until November.<\/p>\n<p>Ripley\u2019s Traveling Shows are interactive, portable, one-of-a-kind experiences. Based on 100 years of history, artifacts, intellectual property and media, Ripley\u2019s creates experiences on science, art &amp; sculpture, American history, human and animal oddities, superstition, education and kids adventures &amp; exploration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very excited to bring Ripley\u2019s to the region for the first time and believe it is a great opportunity to partner with the popular brand especially since it is their 100<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary this year. We were looking to have a unique activation for \u2018Back to School\u2019 that was fun for both adults and children. Ripley\u2019s is more than entertainment; it is a remarkable and inspiring form of education too. This activation will be unusual, intriguing and an overall surprise, which parents and their children can enjoy together. It promotes the art of fun and education in today\u2019s digital age and we can really see Ripley\u2019s bringing a family together at WAFI\u201d said Katherine Revett, Head of Central Marketing, WAFI.<\/p>\n<p>Ripley\u2019s will also have a winning element for curious visitors, who can get a passport to collect stamps as they pass by each exhibit location. Those who collect all the stamps can drop their passport into a raffle barrel for the chance to win prizes every week as well as the grand prize at the end of the exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>Ripley\u2019s Believe It or Not! will be open for viewing from September and visitors will be able to view the exhibition for free during mall trading hours. Visit WAFI to explore the unbelievable for the first time in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13224\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.dubaicityguide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/G-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"120\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-13225\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.dubaicityguide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/G1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"120\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All things strange and bizarre are coming to WAFI this September.
