Goonies never say...... Some movies are classics. I will forever love watching the Goonies. It has always been one of my favorites. The fact it was made in my home state of Oregon just makes it a little bit more awesome. Being in Astoria on vacation made this house a bucket list item. We didn't need to look through the windows at what the new owners had done. Or take items. There is a donation box. Please help pay for the constant vandalism. There was a time a previous owner had stopped access for obvious reasons. Let's try and respect the current owner and not keep the true fans from enjoying a bit of Oregon movie history. Just being in front of this actual lived in house from the Goonies movie is amazing. I really enjoyed thinking about all the movie scenes and how cool it would have been to be on set for filming. So much history. I know we've seen it already but I can't wait to see it up close again. read more

I've probably seen The Goonies movie about 50 times in my life. While in Astoria, we decided to come by to check out the house. It was pretty easy to research and map out how to get here. It's in a neighborhood on a private driveway. Be sure to not park in their driveway or the neighbor's spot. You can park in the neighborhood somewhere and walk up. There's a sign at the bottom of the driveway too, the owners know people will come by to take photos etc, so they aren't bothered by it. Just be respectful and you'll be fine. For any inconvenience, they put out a donation bin if you want to drop a few dollars for coming by. Cool to see the house that I admired as a little kid. Glad to have come by to snap a few photos and see it in person. We walked the neighborhood too, we were out of there in like 20 mins. Childhood memory fulfilled. read more

Some new folks bought The Goonies house a few years ago & embrace the pop-culture significance of their property, so it's time to up them back to 5-Stars. Yay! My original review stands now with the home under its latest ownership, so please refer to my very first review of this place for more info. read more

Goonies house did not disappoint! We were excited and thrilled that we got up early and made it to the house before a bunch of people were around and as not to bother the homeowner. Be respectful get your photo and move along and the mystery neighbor that gets after people won't even bother you. read more

The Goonies House is meh at best. I definitely wouldn't take the trip all the way to Astoria to just look at it. The owners wanted $500 just to take a picture standing on the porch. Overall, it's just not worth it. read more

I thought it was cool to see this home! The movie is a classic and I've read quite a few reviews about how the owner/s are mean or angry. I found the opposite. There was plenty of parking on the streets nearby. A short walk up the driveway and you'll come to a fence with a great view of the house and of Astoria. The owner was outside doing yard work and said hi to us. If you're a fan of the movie, come take a quick look. read more

ASTORIA MUSEUMS - The Goonies House! (Astoria, OR) - Museums Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

The house must have changed hands within the last few months based on our visit today. 1. The signs at the bottom of the driveway near the mailboxes about trespassing and calling the police are gone. The only sign next to the mailboxes says "YES." 2. We exchanged pleasantries with both the owner (or whoever was in the house at the time) and a neighbor to the right (if you're looking at the house). Both women gave big smiles and said hi. 3. The house was in great shape. I assume the tarps mentioned by other visitors were for renovations by the new owner. We left $20 in the donation box and parked in the boat launch lot next to the Comfort Suites. Don't park or pull over in the neighborhood nearby the house. Parking at the boat launch is $10 for the day and we left our parking ticket in the machine for the next person. Good spot to access the Riverwalk too. You can park for free at Safeway, which is a little further from the house. Being respectful of the neighbors and neighborhood will ensure future visitors are able to enjoy access too. read more

absolutely amazing time, recommend if you are a goonies nerd! definitely healed the inner child of my father and brother.

We parked at Safeway and walked up to view the house. We fully planned on viewing from afar as to respect the fact that this is someone's home. Just because it was a part of a film doesn't mean it isn't private property now :) We arrived at the driveway and there were two signs that said walk up only and yes with foot prints! We walked up to the house and took photos. We were greeted by the home owner and had a nice chat with her about her purchase and remodel of the home (hence the tarps in previous reviews). She was very sweet about our visit and asked us about our plans for the day! I feel if you come during daylight, walk from a public parking area and act respectfully you will have no issues There is a donation box in front of the home to contribute to the remodel expenses of a home that was once a foreclosure :) donate for the preservation of the goonies home! read more

This was almost too surreal to see- I watched this movie as a kid and was completely captivated by it- so I ran off to Astoria on a whim recently and I wasn't disappointed. PARK BY THE SCHOOL on the side street -its also known as the Kindergarden Cop filming area- or they will ticket you in that town- you'll be a few blocks from the goonies house at this point. Walk politely your in a residential area the people are nice and sweet and kind some a bit eccenrtric and a blast like the lawn art lady I passed- when you get to the Goodies house area - BE QUIET walk up quietly- if there is a sign that says no- dont do it. It's private property. If it says yes- do it. Make sure you leave the home owner a tip there is a box outside- he doesn't have to let people on her property but she does and she's fantastic for doing so! It's amaze balls. The whole town is amazing. I love it! read more

Firstly yes please respect that it's someone's home and don't drive up the drive way blocking residents in. We visited Astoria mainly to see locations from the Goonies and we swung by one morning to see the Goon Docks. It's nice to see it in real life and worth it if you live the movie. It is just a house though so don't expect a mini museum or anything. Go get your photos and then enjoy the rest of your day. read more

Contrary to popular opinion, the owners of this house are NOT A-holes, and I can say this first hand. In fact, they are actually quite nice. The consensus of most people is "if they didn't want people coming by to look at it, they shouldn't have bought it." What people don't know is that 1,000 plus people per day weren't going by to look at it when they bought it back in the early 2000's. A few jerks had to ruin it for everyone by being rude and leaving cigarette butts and other trash around the house and loitering around. I've seen some other people posting (on other sites than Yelp) that they should turn it into a museum. It's not that simple - what about the neighbors? You can't put a museum in the middle of a neighborhood - where would everyone park? I agree that this is somewhat of an iconic house. Be respectful and view the house from Duane street. Adios amigos. read more

Listen I kind of understand why the homeowner doesn't want any visitors but come on you bought the Goonie house and expect people not to be curious themselves. I'm a Goonie and this adventure is not complete without seeing the house. My daughter and I walked to the house the morning of thanksgiving 2018. We stayed Hampton Inn and had no idea it was across the street. It was quiet morning bit of rain. We saw the sign to not enter but since the street was still part of public street I walked up and took some pictures. Sad that the house was tarped. No one was around except for a neighbor talking on the phone on the porch but no one said anything. It was still great to see it and admire the view. On another note I really enjoyed the city where Mikey's dad worked and the jailhouse. A MUST to take drive to Cannon Beach and the view of Haystack Rock from Ecola State Park. Don't let the house disappoint as the town is charming to explore. Overall all I had a great and memorable experience and got to share it with my oldest daughter. Goonies Never Say Die read more

We have visited on two occasions over the last year. The House is located in a quiet and well kept neighborhood. On both occasions, we encountered other visitors. There is a box in which visitors can tip/donate. As a fan of the movie, I strongly leaving a contribution to ensure this remains accessible for other fans. Please be considerate of the neighborhood, which is quite charming. read more

Park a couple of blocks down. Do not park close to the house. Nice walk up to the drive. Out of respect please know that the owners at this time do not mind the visits. It would be nice if people came around 9 am and stopped at 5 pm to give the owners privacy. We we were able to walk up and get some photos and take a good look at one of my favorite movies spots. I didn't see the owners but I did wave and said out loud, Thank You. What a wonderful day to hit the jail and the museum from the movie too. *on a side note, the elementary school down the street is where they filmed Kindergarten Cop! read more

ASTORIA MUSEUMS - The Walsh house from The Goonies. - Museums Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

**** The Goonies!**** The Goonies is not just a movie but an institution. The Goonies embodies childhood, real friendships, adventue, and embracing changes in life. There are few movie structures that are universally recognized, but The Goonies house is one of them. The house got so dilapidated that it was going to be demolished at one time. The new owners restored the home. Some changes were made and there are two giant flags displayed in the front. However, nostalgia set in as I walked in front of it. It was like I was in the movie or that the movie was real life. In fact, as far as I am concerned...The Goonies is real life. Parking is down the street and is easy. The neighborhood is used to the steady stream of visitors from around the world that show up on the daily basis. The neighborhood makes this visit fun! Step into reality and visit this internationally recognized destination. Goonies Never Say Die and any adventure, like my own, should start here! We are all Goonies at heart. Recognizing this is the first step in reaching happiness! I love this town and I love this house! read more

Heyyyy you guyyyys.... it's tarped up. Sucks that (s)he wants to live in a house covered up. Park near genos pizza and then walk up to see it. Or just drive around it. Neighbors do have signs that say "do not block driveway" "no sitting, no standing, no ____" read more

"It's a boy thing." That may explain why I've never been on the Goonies bandwagon. I love movies and all things Oregon, but watching the movie with my boys as an adult was painful. Still, I thought my boys would get a kick out of seeing the house in Astoria. Not really much to do but honor the owner's request and leave your car down the hill and approach by foot to take a couple photos. The views of the city and the bridge are lovely from here. If you want another quick stop with a little more entertainment value, just a few blocks away you can see the sea lions at the East Mooring Basin boat ramp at 36th Street. http://www.yelp.com/biz/east-mooring-basin-boat-ramp---sea-lions-astoria read more

Came all the way to Astoria from Brooklyn with a Goonies cohort of fifteen people. Showed up at the Goonies House at 10:00 pm and had to pound on the door for ten minutes before anyone opened up. Who closes anything before midnight? What is this, 1859? The owner/guide was very, very rude and told us to go away. I explained that we came all the way from Brooklyn just to see the Goonies House and they didn't even care! Told us we had to leave or they'd call the cops! So we sat down and wouldn't budge until they gave us a tour. The owner called the police! Can you believe it? And they didn't even take us to the cool Goonies Jail (which is apparently now a museum), but took us to some lameass regular jail. They took our fingerprints and told us to get out of town. Never coming back here again. So rude! read more

Very sorry to hear this owner turned out to be as bitter and douche as he isn't covering it a blue tarp You shouldn't have bought it he knew that it was a tourist attraction and he had a donation box outside of the house he did not offer tours I don't know why he wanted donations I've given him $40 to tour the inside of this house easy That would've made my child so happy I'm going to comes to my child I bear no expense. read more

It was a fun pit stop to make on our trip down the oregon coast. I understand why they don't want cars on the driveway.

Growing up on the east coast, visiting the west coast was always a dream of mine. Seeing the Goonie house was on my to-do list. Unfortunately​ when we visited the house was tarped over and seemed to be lacking basic maintenance​. ​Why buy a historical, well-known​ house and not take care of it? We made sure to keep a good distance from the house out of respect of the owners and neighbours​. There are plenty of viewpoints to see the house from around the neighbourhood​. Besides the visitors​ for the house coming and going, it's a fairly quiet street. The school that Kindergarten​ Cop was filmed at is just a few blocks down. We enjoyed our day walking around town and seeing the different things Astoria has to offer. ​Over 10 movies have been filmed there making it a great place for movie-geeks! read more

Recent articles and posts from visitors may say otherwise, but we (the Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce and Oregon Film Museum) wish to reiterate our continued request for Goonies fans visiting this area. The home from The Goonies remains a private residence - it is not a museum or otherwise maintained attraction for public admittance. Accessed by a narrow dead-end street and even narrower driveway, crowds of visitors can make things uncomfortable for not only this homeowner, but for the residents of dozens of homes in the blocks surrounding it. When visitation was becoming an overwhelming presence to most in the area ~10 years ago, we came together with those residents and asked that film fans view the home from viewpoints nearby. We continue to encourage fans to refrain from driving into the neighborhood to seek out the house. While the owner of this location from The Goonies is a fan of the movie and enjoys chatting with visitors making the trek to Astoria to see the film locations, as you can imagine, it gets hard having hundreds of people crowding into your personal space every single day. Please consider visiting the Oregon Film Museum, itself an iconic location from the movie. The museum offers a public-facing experience to learn more about the heritage of movie making in Astoria. Then, get your photo of the "Walsh House" as seen in The Goonies from Columbia Baseball Field, the East Mooring Basin, or from the sidewalk to the east of Astor Elementary School, both located just a few blocks from the home. We thank you all for your help in mitigating the impacts of visitation in this residential area! https://www.thegoondocks.org/visit-the-goondocks read more

As soon as I walked up the drive i knew which house I was looking for. I call my brother and send him a pic via text of the house. What does he say? "I never saw that movie. Why are you there?" hahahaha.... oh brother. If you were born in the late 70s or early 80s, you KNOW The Goonies. (Unless you're my brother.) Currently (Aug, 2010) the house is for sale. And for CHEAP! The owners must be sick of the constant visitors. They seem friendly enough but I'm sure after years and years of people on their driveway, looking through their windows, and taking pictures, that routine gets pretty old. In less than 10 mins about 12 people rolled up. Everyone was polite, no one bothered the owners or their neighbors, and it was fun to hang out a bit and ask how far people came from. One girl came all the way from Buffalo, NY! (The friends I took along with me came from NYC). The house looks pretty much the same as it did in the movie and it was really easy to find. I don't have a reason to visit it again but I can definitely check this off my, "MUST DO LIST!" Goonies. Never. Say. Die. read more

I guess I'm the only one who has never seen the movie Goonies! I checked in to yelp when we got to Astoria and it suggested this place. Since I haven't since it I was intrigued. Went to this place, beware you have to park far away from the house. You need to walk to the house and not disturb the people who live there. I have to say it must be so annoying to have people gawking at your house all the time. Lol but I guess that's what you get for buying a landmark. We just took pictures. I guess it's fun to be part of history! But now I really need to go watch this movie since it's such an iconic movie! Yes its true they do have a donation box but I wasn't interested in donating. read more

My wife and got to experience seeing this house in person. It had been a long time dream for me to see this house in person. And out of respect, we didn't take any pictures or disturb anything. But while we were there. We could hear sea lions barking in the distance. Which we just had to find out where they were! read more

HEY YOUUUU GUYYYYYS!! I'm an eighties child that grew up watching The Goonies....a lot, so it was a no-brainier to stop here as we were going through Astoria last year. The directions were a bit odd, as far as parking goes. Due to it being a major tourist attraction, the neighborhood has put up designated areas on where you should park (several blocks away). Unfortunately, many do not abide, and they'll park in front of their homes, so be kind, don't be a selfish jerk and park in the designated areas. As for the house, it's great to see where Chunk did the Truffle Shuffle and all the memories that came along with that, and that's why I rated it so high. Normally, this would be 3 stars. I would dock it for parking, surly neighbors and all the "rules" to abide if you wish to walk up the drive (which I completely understand why all these are needed), but it's The Goonie House and GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE! read more

Having grown up watching this movie hundreds of times, it would've been blasphemous of me to skip out on making a pilgrimage to this Goonies holy spot during my Oregon visit. The house is situated on top of a hill that has a beautiful view of the town and the bay. Park your car in an open spot across from the street, and head up the gravel driveway by foot. My friend and I parked ours on the street the Fratellis drove up while on the run from the cops. For the most part, the house still looks as it did in the movie. Now, I can finally cross this off from my list of places that I've always wanted to visit. "See guys, wishes do come true." read more

Goonies fans are welcome on Foot. This is a private drive so be courteous to the owners because they are so wonderful by allowing fans to come up to the house and take pictures. Park down the street and walk up. This is just a chance to take some photos and see the outside of the house but first you must do the Truffle Shuffle! read more
