The Evel Knievel Experience in the Arts District is a must-visit. It is an amazing dive into American pop culture, loaded with legendary leather jumpsuits, original stunt bikes, and a multitude of genuine artifacts.
A highlight was meeting the co-founder, Mike Patterson. He was hanging out on the floor and was genuinely interested in what we thought of our visit, taking time to chat and share some insights into the collection and the restoration of Big Red. Between the 4D virtual reality motorcycle jump and Mike's friendly, welcoming vibe, this place is high-energy fun. Don't skip it!
We visited on the 1st of September this year after seeing American pickers taking the Evel Knievel sign to the museum. What an amazing attraction to visit we loved all the different attractions also just being able to do the tour on your own have lovely staff around if you had any questions and give us extra information about such a hands on experience. We were helped by a lovely young lady in the parking lot we come from Scotland and had no idea how to set the app up she took time to help us and it turned she was Evel Knievel granddaughter which we found out from one of the staff when we started the tour. A lovely young lady a credit to the museum. We are thinking of visiting again next year. Well done everyone wish all success.
This museum far exceeded our expectations. Excellent synopsis of Evel’s whole life and gave us a new appreciation of him and his sport. We especially enjoyed the “what else was happening that year” displays as those events helped put Evel’s stunts in the context of our lives. Being born in the late 60’s we enjoyed the memorabilia (lunch boxes, electric toothbrush, stunt cycle). There was a nice flow - start out with a short movie - then move through the exhibit chronologically. Very clean state of the art building and a perfect addition to the growing arts district of Las Vegas. Even if you don’t consider yourself a fan, there is so much to enjoy.

This was a great experience. Very nostalgic. I grew up with Evel Knievel and love that this museum is available. There was so much info about his childhood to when he passed. There is a lot of fun videos, photos, equipment that he used and much more. I highly recommend this. Bonus- his granddaughter works there and hosts part of the tour!!

All I can say is what a great Museum the Evel knievel Museum Experience is...
Right from the get go we were graciously greeted by Steve and the rest of the crew as soon as we walked in the door. We talked for a while as we were checking in. Just before we were about to start the tour Steve said would you like to take a drink with you ( heck ya ) there's a Bar just to the right as you come in the door. It was actually nice to walk and see the Museum while having a drink in your hand...
I'm drawing a brain fart and forgot the Gentlemans name who took us up to the first part of the Museum to where the first little intro video is. ( Played CFL Football 🏈 for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, big paws 🐾 on him as well when you shook his hand lol )
After the short introduction video then you head out the back door into the rest of the Museum. This is where the fun really begins.
I don't want to give much of the Museum away, as there's so much to see and read along the way. It basically starts from the beginning of Evels Career to the end, with a lot of Kiosks with photos and videos and a lot to read along the way.
We even noticed in the one Kiosk of where we live in Vancouver Canada, When Evel knievel came to Vancouver in 1970 at the Pacific Coliseum. We definitely didn't see that one coming.
There's definitely a lot of his Bikes and riding gear and so much more, I didn't want to post to many photos, I didn't want to take away from everyone's experience. We were in the Museum for 2 1/2 Hours taking our time going through it all ( I'm definitely sure we could have stayed even longer, but had to be at another engagement at a certain time )
At the end there's a virtual Jump that you can add to your Experience ( I highly highly recommend that everyone do this ) it's pretty cool I must say.
Also just so everyone knows at the end of the Building towards the back and behind Big Red to the left of the Cadillac and the Wheely Bike there's a 18 minute video on the restoration of Big Red and where they found it and so on. Hi highly recommend that everyone watch the video, as it really shows the dedication of how much time and effort everyone put into the restoration of Big Red...
This is a fantastic Museum and very well put together, and I'm sure everyone will enjoy it just as much as we did. For the record I will definitely be back to see it again. Even though we took 2 1/2 Hours we still definitely missed a bit of it reading wise. Definitely take your time and read everything, there's definitely a lot that people probably didn't even know about...
Also Steve wanted me to mention, that there's plenty of parking and easy Uber drop off ( we took an Uber ) right out front of the Museum/Building. Don't let the road and construction in the area fool you.
And Steve if you can mention the Gentlemans name who took us up to the beginning of the Tour of the Museum ( played in the CFL in Saskatchewan ) ( and big paws on him lol ) can you put it in the comments when you probably reply back to me later on. ( So everyone will know who I'm talking about 😃👍👍 )
Cheers to everyone who had something to do with putting this fabulous Museum together, and bringing back so many wonderful memories of days gone by....
Cheers from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦🍁
