The new museum features historic artefacts, including Knievel’s red, white and blue jumpsuits, and the motorcycles that launched him into the air.
Also on view are the Snake River Canyon Skycycle X-2, the Caesars Palace jump helmet, and the fully restored 'Big Red' Mack truck and trailer.
As for immersive experiences, guests can enjoy a 4D virtual reality jump, plan their own daring jump, and explore Knievel’s most famous crashes and injuries.
"The collection is extraordinary on its own, but what makes this experience different is the opportunity to step directly inside Evel Knievel’s story," said Mike Patterson, co-founder and CEO of the Evel Knievel Experience.
