The San Antonio landmark plays a key role in the film chronicling Pee-wee Herman’s search for his stolen bicycle when a devious fortuneteller tells him the bike is located in the Alamo’s basement. Pee-wee, played by the late Paul Reubens, learns the Alamo doesn’t have a basement, but hasn’t stopped tourists from tongue-in-cheek inquiries.

The Alamo has acquired the screen-used bike from the 1985 Tim Burton film, Pee-wee's Big Adventure. But instead of in a basement under the Alamo Church, the bike will be on display in the new visitor center and museum when it opens in 2027. Before that, fans of the movie will have a shot at seeing the iconic set of wheels a bit sooner - here's how.

The original screen-used stunt bike from the classic 1985 film “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure” was acquired by the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas. The item played a big role in the movie as Pee-wee Herman, played by Paul Reubens, went to the Alamo in search of his stolen bike.
