The collection extends even further, featuring signature canes, jewelry helmets, wardrobe pieces, motorcycles, cars and countless additional artifacts. Additional elements include access to other rare materials from Evel Knievel’s life, immersive storytelling through archival footage and more.

Whether guests are trying a 4D virtual jump, testing their own stunt-planning skills or standing face-to-face with the motorcycles that made history, there’s something around every corner that makes visitors stop and say ‘Wow.’”
