About AstroWorld Theme Park Museum
Our Mission
At the AstroWorld Theme Park Museum, we seek to honor and preserve the work of the dreamers, artisans and team members who made Houston's AstroWorld a generational place of wonder and happiness. We accomplish this by collecting and exhibiting souvenirs, memorabilia, and historical items from the park's history and showcasing those items to the public in various settings.
Those We Honor
The most celebrated names in connection with AstroWorld's history include (but are not limited to): Judge Roy Hofheinz, Ed Henderson, Rolly Crump, Micki McClelland, Randall Duell, Harper Goff, Winn Morton, Bill Crandall and Chuck Hendrix.
Traveling Museum Exhibit
Currently, the AstroWorld Traveling Museum consists of over 400 unique items including souvenirs, candid photos, wardrobe pieces, signage, and other pieces of memorabilia from throughout the park's 37-year history. The collection is privately-owned. As curator of the collection, Donald Hayes maintains an ongoing effort to source, vet and purchase all forms of AstroWorld materials.
The Future of the AstroWorld Museum
Our long-term vision is to create a permanent place to preserve the memory of AstroWorld and what it meant to the millions of people it entertained. We can accomplish this through cooperation with other organizations, nonprofits and like-minded preservationists. To contribute to our effort, please click below.
