Unbelievable...I turned into an 8 year old the entire 2 house there. Brought back wonderful memories. As a second grader two of my friends bought me the EK action motorcycle jumper. I bought another one from the gift shop. Kevin was great. Will stop by again if I have the opportunity. I'm from Ohio and remember his jump at Kings Island.
What a fabulous display. Folks were friendly and informative. Only issue was the temperature in the museum, very hot. Not sure if a-c was having issue. Highly recommend if you're in town. Give yourself at least 2 hours.
Great collection of Evel’s memorabilia. The folks running were very friendly. It’s really cool how they not only showed videos of his jumps but also showed all the bones he broke and concussions he had! Highly recommend if you are passing by Topeka.

This was a good experience. It wasn't to expensive and it had a lot of memorabilia. It had his motorcycles and his truck that have been refurbished. It started when he was a child and went through his death. It is all cataloged and talks about what he did and there was even videos of his jumps and wrecks. I liked how it really focused on him and not the rest of his family. It had some things from my childhood as in toys and even a Wheaties box. :-) It was also a beautiful buliding that it was in.
Awesome brought back a lot of memories. Highly recommend going to see this collection. The virtual jump is great as well. Plan on spending a couple of hours. Staff is amazing.
