This attraction is just a little add on in the corner. My 6 year old was really looking forward to this, but it wasn't worth the money. More

Not worth a visit. It was empty and quiet. Nothing worth seeing. From the outside it looks like a convenience store merged with a small tourist attraction. There are beer signs in the window but they didn't have any when we went in. More

This place, a small, sad looking convenience store houses a great informal and thus awesome, museum of the daredevil stunts that have taken place. They have two actual capsules that survived the falls, a jet ski from a guy who died going over, and amazing stories and photographs of the living and dead legends. Check out the story of the...

Nobody I asked knew where this place was at. It's more like a convienance store with a bunch of dare devil stuff in the back. It was pretty cool. I wish it was bigger but then it would cost a bunch of money to get in. I recommend going there but dont expect a big musuem. More

As a museum discovery trip we found many collections that were not hugh but were historic. Not only are there daredevil vessels but also a corner with a mafia collection! Great find for these children who also received a nickel from the owner as a souvenir. It was listed as tops for the 4 museums the girls discovered this summer... More

While the Daredevil Museum only has a few exhibits and a wall of articles, there is more to it if you look closer. There are also brochures for other local attractions and affordable souvenirs. It was very close to our hotel so we stopped in a few times. We also bought a daredevils book there. It is worth taking a... More

We knew from reading about the museum that it was small and in a convenience store that also doubles as a Trailways bus stop. It's also one of the few things in the area that is absolutely free with even a small amount of free parking. Admittedly it's not a giant museum but they do have several contraptions that people...
