SAN ANTONIO – The Alamo announced that it has acquired the red bike from “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure.”
In a social post on Friday, The Alamo said the original stunt bike used in “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure,” starring Paul Reubens, will be permanently displayed in the future Alamo Visitor Center and Museum.
The museum is expected to open in the fall of 2027.
Later this year, fans will be able to see it inside the Ralston Family Collection Center for a limited time, according to the social post.
The Alamo also announced it will host a free public screening of the film in the newly reopened Plaza de Valero. Details have not been released.
“Until then, don’t worry… the bike will be stored for safekeeping. Maybe in the basement,” the post read.
The bike was acquired in honor of the movie’s 40th anniversary. The film follows Pee-wee Hermann on his quest to find his stolen red bike.
