AWESOME! AMAZING! I cant say enough about this museum and the collection of Evel Knievel memorabilia! I have been a huge fan since I was a kid and use to watch him on Wide World of Sports. This place took me back to when I was young and it was a happier time for all of us! If you are within 500 miles of this place it will be well worth your time to come here I promise! Even my wife liked the museum and she doesnt even remember Evel as a kid.

Awesome! I loved seeing the actual bikes while watching the video of his jump on that same bike, if that makes sense. I loved seeing all of his personally owned stuff. The museum had me pumped to spend some cash on merchandise, but very disappointed in gift shop, very little to choose from. But, very friendly staff and worth the price of admission. Highly recommend.

This museum was so cool. Kerry was friendly and greated us like old friends. Took a nice family photo for us and then lead us to the start of the tour. There is so much cool memorabilia to look at and read through. This is a must see in Topeka. The Harley Store is amazing too and the young lady who helped us is awesome.

The Evel Knievel Museum is awesome! My husband and son had the best time exploring the museum. The staff was very kind and accomodating. The displays were full of cool and interesting stuff. Visiting the museum was an experience of a life time for them. Thank you

Lots to see the motorcycles are cool ,but Big Red steals the show. Worth the stop even if it ends in a Harley dealership. Little pricey for admission in my opinion . I should have taken more pics.

Didnt know what to expect, was pleasantly surprised at all the memorabila, all the history of this American icon. Downstairs from the dealership (that is closed on Sundays) it is a self guided tour until you get to the 4d jump experience, spend the extra $5, its fun and a good photo op. Kids from 5 up beyond 50 can do it, a great time and money well spent.

Great detail lots of good contributions from Robbys life and experiences. The Topeka Harley shop and restoration team did an amazing job. The mack is worth seeing and I appreciated seeing the hand painted work on truck and trailer. You donxt see hand painted vehicle work much any more. Amazing! Check out the simulator.

Awesome time line of everything. From him as a kid, to what he accomplished, to his death. Had most of his motorcycles, and his trailer(home away from home) very interesting.

Being a fan I had to stop and see this.museum. it has a lot of artifacts and plenty of video clips of Evel doing his famous and not as famous jumps. The added bonus and almost worth the trip itself was the 4D jump experience. What a rush. So realistic and fun I was smiling ear to ear after and my wife was giggling like when we first met. The 4D jump is only five dollars extra and the gentleman running it couldnt have been nicer or more fun to talk to. What a kick the whole experience was, enjoyable and fun.

Tons of stuff to look at. Youre gonna want to give yourself some time. They have a whole section dedicated to the Snake River jump, which was cool.The gift shop could stand to add some more merchandise. Didnt seem like a lot of choices or variety here.

This place was amazing. I always enjoy finding the awesome little spots in my home state of Kansas. Finding the connection between Evel Knievel and Topeka, Kansas was absolutely fascinating. I had no idea he had played the Kansas State Fair. It was interesting to find out he got into a brawl with the Hells Angels motorcycle gang. This gentleman suffered a ton of injuries. They had them listed per crash and a video of two that were blood curdling to watch. His commitment to his craft was awe-inspiring. There is also a virtual reality jump that puts you in a stunt. So real.

Excellent museum! Everything was as advertised with outstanding pieces and exhibits. I highly recommend the $5 for the virtual reality jump.There was another review that dogged the museum’s prices, which I disagree with. They do offer a veteran discount and the total for my wife and I was well worth it!!!

If you were born this century then you have heard of Evel Knievel. You might not know he has his own museum. Go there if you can. It was one of the best museums I have ever been to. They had tons of videos to go along with there displays, so you can read about his jumps and then see them. They had some of his bikes there, his custom Cadillac, and his semi truck. You can pay a little extra and do a simulated jump. I highly suggest it. There was a man that was walking around greeting everyone named Joe. Make sure you talk to him, he is full of fun info that is not written on the walls. Joe is the man. Afterwards, make sure you get something from the gift shop.

Much bigger than it looks. Had tons of memorabilia. We ate at a restaurant in the building and had a great time. There are also ride experiences you can purchase separately, and a skeleton showing all locations of his injuries and when. Very educational. An awesome tribute to a fantastic entertainer.

Just fantastic! You almost need to go twice (I do): once to “see” the exhibit, and again to read all the articles and facts and statistics on all the walls! While you are there, visit the dealership as well, they have a museum themselves, including some Harley prototypes.

Review №63

It was actually a really cool Museum. Its not a huge Museum, but if you stop and read all the exhibits and watch the movies itll probably take you about two hours to go through. When you get to the second floor theres two or three interactive computer screens on the wall, they have some really cool information that you can explore. Make sure you keep some of your mind at attention when you get up there. And ride the 3D cycle Adventure. There was cool

Review №65

Wonderful place. Think you know Evel? You dont! See all his bikes, his travel truck and everything in between. Not an Evel fan? You will be. More there than I can possibly do justice for. Add to it, theres a Harley shop there and it is to die for. All the old stuff, old timers and repairs you could want to meet. Make this place a must see. An hour of your time is all they ask. Youll gladly spend more. Open Monday thru Saturday.

Review №73

Best part of going to Topeka!!! The museum was absolutely enthralling. Not your average museum and its attached to Historic H-D which also has its own tiny museum of vintage motorcycles and Harley memorabilia. The Evel Knieval section has several of his original motorcycles, his cane, jump suits, jewelry, and way more. It spans over his entire life and career. Spent no less than three hours here and could have stayed much longer. The VR experience was another gem, spend the extra money and try it out. Especially if youre a fellow rider. Plan to make an entire day of the trip there!

We were looking forward to coming here and this museum doesnt disappoint. Free pictures when we first came in and we loved the virtual reality motorcycle jump. Well worth the extra 5 dollars. It was cool. They did an amazing job putting everything together. I highly recommend seeing this museum. All of us were impressed.

Evel Knievel Museum is a must see for all ages. Interactive displays, movie theater, virtual reality motorcycle jump experience, motorcycles, memorabilia and videos of all of his jumps and crashes. I took my niece and nephew and they loved it.

The museum is well worth a visit, tons of memorabilia and so many videos to enjoy. The staff and volunteers were wonderful and we really enjoyed listening to them. It brought back many memories for my husband and I as we grew up in a time when Evel Knievel seemed to be everywhere!

I was amazing how cool this place was when I walked in the door. So much to see and take in. I was a trip back to my childhood and watching Evil Knievel on TV. Totally worth the drive to go check it out.

Review №85

Great place. I enjoyed it from the moment I walked in and was greeted by the friendly lady at the front desk. The exhibits are like taking a trip down memory lane. Lots of great memories of the various jumps that are documented there. It was also fun to see the collection of vintage Evel Knievel merchandise; I quickly spotted the wind-up stunt cycle and lunch box that I had in grade school. There are a handful of employees along the tour route that are eager to answer questions and point out features of the interactive displays. This museum is an asset to the city of Topeka. If you were a fan of Evel Knievel when you were young you owe it to yourself to pay this place a visit.

I had a great time visiting the Even Knievel museum. It was way better than I would have ever imagined. I knew about the museum from my parents who visited last year and loved it and from a presentation the directors of the museum gave when they accepted an industry award. I only planned to stay for about an hour but ended up staying much longer. The museum is well paced with lots of interesting facts, videos and memorabilia. The VR jump experience is really fun as well. Definitely recommend including that in your ticket purchase. The staff could not have been nicer. They were welcoming and provided great information!

$15 bucks adult admission.We didnt know much about Evel going in, but experienced an entertaining couple of hours at this museum. Excellent collection of memorabilia, including original bikes and jumpsuits.The 4-D experience, for an additional $5, is highly recommended.

Review №99

For fans of Evel, this place is a lot of fun. From lunchboxes to his personal bikes, his rig and everything in between, the guys here have managed to accumulate more of Evels gear than he himself probably owned at once. Not just accumulate though... they have meticulously restored it all with care. My dad, brother, nephew and I all had a great time. The Harley shop connected to the museum is definitely worth visiting too.

I wasnt a big fan but the museum was very interesting and entertaining. Pay the 5 extra bucks to do the virtual jump at the end.
