Orlando, FL (July 7, 2020) – Weird True Facts by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! and IFLScience is a collaboration of two amazing brands to create one unbelievable book!

Weird True Facts goes on sale on July 14, 2020. With the science behind the stories and the stories behind the science, there is something for both IFLScience and Ripley fans.

Science frequently teeters on the edge of the unbelievable, often leaving people—even scientists—thinking, “What the. . . ?”

From historical oddities to cutting‑edge technology and cosmic conundrums, the book’s 192 pages are filled with the strangest stories Ripley’s and IFL’s editors could find, like how:

• Pink isn’t a real color
• Hip-hop music makes cheese taste better
• Stars do not actually “twinkle”
• Mount Everest is not the tallest mountain on Earth
• The Great Wall of China is still standing thanks to sticky rice

Featuring a chimpanzee astronaut, NASA superstitions, a spacecraft graveyard, and the possibility of growing food on Mars, Weird True Facts is also filled with unbelievable facts about our universe, space flight, and our neighboring planets—out-of-this-world stories that really stand out to a young adult with an out-of-this-world dream…

Weird True Facts  spokesperson is 19-year-old astrobiology student Alyssa Carson. Her mission is to be among the first to walk on Mars, and it’s not that far-fetched—she is the youngest person to graduate the Advanced Space Academy.

“I am an avid believer in citizen science and there are plenty of WTFs to be solved in our universe—I hope to discover some myself in the near future. This collaboration between Ripley’s Believe It or Not! and IFLScience is a great way to get young adults thinking about a deeper approach to science. With fascinating facts and scientific theories, Weird True Facts sets your imagination free to think about the impossible actually becoming possible,” said Carson.

Weird True Facts will be available at major retailers and on Amazon.com on July 14^th. Pre-orders are now available. Review copies and further information available on request.

African Penguins Arrive as Part of the Largest Expansion in Ripley’s Aquarium of Myrtle Beach’s 20-year History!

Myrtle Beach, SC (March 10, 2020) – Ripley’s Aquarium of Myrtle Beach is excited to announce Ripley’s Penguin Playhouse is now open!

The 5,500-square-foot expansion is the largest in Ripley’s Aquarium of Myrtle Beach’s 20-year history. The African penguin habitat has floor-to-ceiling viewing glass and a 360-degree crawl tunnel for guests to waddle through. This addition also includes a brand-new Ocean Wonders gallery housing fascinating species of fish from all over the world.

Sporting their black-and-white plumage, the African penguin is the only species of penguin found on the African continent, preferring warmer water temperatures unlike their Antarctic counterparts. Their unique black stripes and spots serve as their identification, similar to a human fingerprint.

The African penguin is one of the most endangered penguins in the world—numbers have declined by 60 percent in the last 28 years. Welcoming Ripley’s new colony in 2020 is just the beginning of the Aquarium’s conservation efforts, as an on-site penguin nursery will house and care for baby penguins, helping Ripley’s Aquarium foster a growing flock.

Ripley’s expansion features two new state-of-the-art classrooms for educational programs, school groups, and unique experiences that will allow guests to get up close and personal with these extraordinary birds.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCES

Penguin Encounters – Interact—and even pet—Ripley’s most adorable creatures beak-to-beak while learning about this species from Aquarium staff experts.

Paint with the Penguins – Pal up with a penguin to create—and take home—a one-of-a-kind piece of footprint art!

“We are beyond excited to welcome African Black Footed penguins to Ripley’s Aquarium of Myrtle Beach. This brand-new and completely immersive penguin habitat will not only captivate and entertain our guests but also provide an educational experience for our visitors. We know this new penguin addition will support our educational and conservation missions while offering family-friendly entertainment for visitors of all ages,” said Pablo Chavez, General Manager, Ripley’s Aquarium of Myrtle Beach.

SAVAGE SEAS!

Tales of adventure, myth, and ruin, this temporary, pop-up exhibit is officially open just in time for guests to enjoy alongside the all-new Penguin Playhouse.

Savage Seas is an all-new exhibit, where guests learn life at sea isn’t for everyone! Find out what it takes to survive on the open waters when you explore this interactive exhibit.

Learn about daily pirate life, sea monsters from myth and lore, and the very true stories of shipwrecks filled with treasure and secrets of the past.

Ripley’s Aquarium is located at 110 Celebrity Circle at Broadway at the Beach and is open 365 days a year.
