All the reviews regarding the IMAX are referring to the WRONG daredevil museum. This museum is officially closed. We were there Tuesday June 11th, 2013. There is a for sale sign on the building and we were told by a local business owner that it officially closed the week before. There is however a daredevil museum on the canadian side... More

This museum is located alongside the Imax movie. Those movies make me ill so we skipped that and just visited the museum. The stories combined with seeing these actual devices that people used to go over the falls was really cool! The gift shop inside the building is a National Geographic one and it awesome - had better prices than... More

The Daredevils Museum looked mostly like a newspaperkiosk from outside. I was at Niagara Falls for two days. The first day I tried to get in at 12 oclock, the next at ten oclock. Both days it was closed, though not announced closede.

The Imax was awesome and this area was an added bonus, It gives you a great overview of all the stunts that people tried on the falls trying to be famous

I'm glad we stopped by here. It's free, it's educational, and it's fascinating. What have you got to lose? I spent 7 bucks on a souvenir Steve Trotter tshirt from the 80's, and it's my favourite souvenir from the whole trip.

Stop in this free museum and learn about people who went over the Falls and lived to tell about it. You can buy a souvenir or just enjoy the history of daredevils. It's small, but fun and interesting. You can take a few minutes to read and listen as you wish.

It's free but it's mainly a store with snacks and souvenirs. The barrels are interesting to look at but if you're short on time, I would skip it.

The Daredevil Museum of Niagara is free for a reason...it's a glorified souvenir stand. I did like reading about people going over the falls in barrels and even a Waverunner (which unfortunately failed), but the people that run the place seem to get antsy if you don't make your way over to the Niagara souvenir section. God forbid you take... More
