Pee-wee’s bike goes on display at the Alamo on 40th anniversary of film debut

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — After 40 years, Pee-wee Herman’s bike can finally be found at the Alamo.

Starting Saturday, the original, screen-used stunt bicycle seen in the 1985 cult classic Pee-wee’s Big Adventure will be on display at the Alamo in celebration of the film’s 40th anniversary.

The bike will be featured in the Alamo’s Ralston Family Collection Center, located directly behind the historic Alamo building, for a limited time.

The Alamo says that the bike from the film was acquired earlier this summer, and will serve as a centerpiece in the Long Term Legacy Gallery inside the future Alamo Visitor Center and Museum, which is scheduled to open in 2027.

The bike will be on display during regular operating hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Ralston Family Collection Center, “no basement detour required,” according to the Alamo.
