Bike from ‘Pee-wee’s Big Adventure’ goes on display at The Alamo this weekend

SAN ANTONIO – In celebration of the 40th anniversary of “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure,” the Alamo will unveil the original, screen-used stunt bicycle from the 1985 film.

The bike will be on public display beginning Saturday, Aug. 9, featured for a limited time inside the Alamo’s Ralston Family Collection Center, located directly behind the historic Alamo Church.

This iconic bike, made famous by Pee-wee Herman’s memorable journey, which included a stop at the Alamo, was acquired earlier this summer.

It will serve as a centerpiece in the Long Term Legacy Gallery presented by the Mays Family, inside the future Alamo Visitor Center and Museum, scheduled to open in 2027.

This temporary exhibit offers fans a first look at the bike up close before it takes its place in the new museum’s gallery, which explores the Alamo’s lasting cultural impact.
