Believe It or Not Curiosity Cabinet receives mixed reviews, with many visitors comparing it to a smaller, more cramped version of Ripley’s museums. While some guests appreciate the variety of live reptiles and unusual specimens, others express concern over the small size of the animal enclosures and the general cleanliness of the environment. A common point of criticism is the ticket price, which several reviewers feel is too high for the limited amount of content provided. The exhibit is described by some as cluttered, though it remains a point of interest for those seeking extraordinary or macabre items. Its location near the Tamsui fisherman village and old street makes it an easy stop for tourists already in the area. Overall, it is seen as a niche attraction that may not appeal to everyone due to its specific focus and compact nature.
