Garroway was very interested in astronomy, and during a tour of Russian telescopes he met his third wife, astronomer Sarah Lee Lippincott.
In his final years, he attended astronomy symposia at Swarthmore College and spent time at Sproul Observatory.

Garroway was also an automobile enthusiast, and one of his hobbies was collecting and restoring vintage luxury and sports cars.
He was especially fond of his 1938 SS Jaguar 100, which he also raced in his spare time.
Garroway was featured in several automobile commercials, including the first Chevrolet Corvette in 1953, and the Ford Falcon in 1964.

Garroway, a music lover and amateur drummer, lent his name to a series of recordings of jazz, classical, and pop music released in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Among them were Wide, Wide World of Jazz, 1957's Some of My Favorites and 1958's Dave Garroway's Orchestra: An Adventure in Hi-Fi Music.
