Ripley's Fertility Statues at Ripley's Believe it or Not! in San Antonio
April 02 to April 28Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Odditorium in San Antonio will host the return of the world-famous Ripley’s Fertility Statues for public viewing from April 2 to April 28. More than 2,000 women have reported that they became pregnant shortly after touching the wooden statues. Many of them had been told by doctors they would never be able to conceive. Some are very serious about touching the statues, believing in their powers to help them conceive. Others want to avoid touching the statues – for the very same reason! The five-foot tall wooden statues were acquired from the Ivory Coast of West Africa in 1993 and were placed in the lobby of Ripley Entertainment’s corporate headquarters in Orlando. Within months, 13 women, including staffers and office visitors were pregnant. The statues will be on display in the lobby of Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Odditorium in San Antonio from April 2 through April 28. Would-be parents are invited to come in and touch them for FREE during regular business hours. Museum hours and location: Sunday – Thursday: 10 a.m. – 8 p.m. Friday – Saturday: 10 a.m. – 10 p.m. 307 Alamo Plaza (210) 224-9299
