Evel Knievel Museum

Permanently closed (moved to Las Vegas)

The Evel Knievel Museum took you through the thrills and spills of the stuntman’s career. It was a place where daredevil dreams ran wild. The collection was packed with information about the many bold endeavors (and failures) that shot the stuntman to fame.

Throughout the 1960s and ‘70s, Knievel captivated American audiences with his wild antics. He tried to complete jump after jump, soaring over enormous obstacles and often wrecking in the process. The motorcyclist miraculously survived all these fate-testing attempts, though he constantly broke bones and wound up in the hospital.

Visitors could discover the wide variety of things Knievel jumped—from trucks to tanks of sharks to Snake River Canyon—and learn more about the extensive injuries he suffered in the process.

Several of the daredevil’s motorcycles were on display. His iconic red, white, and blue rocket cycle was proudly exhibited for all to admire. Battered helmets sat within glass cases like little testaments to his daring feats. And if that weren’t enough, you could try a virtual jump for yourself.

The museum was on the grounds of Topeka’s Historic Harley Davidson dealership, which also houses a small motorcycle museum.

The collection reopened in June 2026 as the Evel Knievel Experience, at 1001 S 1st Street in the Downtown Las Vegas Arts District.
