Melissa DavisDecember 17, 2009This is always on my "to-do" list for anyone visiting San Francisco....antique "arcade" games and carnival games...love it!
RemyMarch 26, 2012Lots of old-timey peeping booths and moving puppets! (if you're into that sort of thing....)
AmandaNovember 15, 2010Some of the fortune telling machines also double as Musee Mechanique souvenirs with the name printed on the cards.
Kelly 🍰February 26, 2012Free admission and most games are a quarter. The laughing doll machines laugh too long and are creepy
Aari LudvigsenAugust 5, 2013It's a history museum your kids will think you're a god for taking them to.
Check out the awesome antique mechanical games at Musee Mechanique. Also, killer vintage arcade games: Spy Hunter, Moon Patrol, Star Wars & Addams Family pinball rule.
