The Mechanical Museum or Musée Mécanique located at Pier 45 in San Francisco is a truly magical place. Admission is free and the museum is home to “one of the world’s largest privately owned collections of mechanically operated musical instruments and antique arcade machines.”

Way back before I had kids, the collection used to be located in the lower level of the Cliff House over by Sutro Baths, but then renovations happened and in 2002 the Musée Mécanique moved to it’s current location in Fisherman’s Wharf. Being a local I don’t get out to Fisherman’s Wharf very often because TOURISTS EVERYWHERE, but now that I have kids it’s totally worth it to head on over with a bag full of quarters. I love this place and now my girls love it too.

I showed you mine, now show me yours.
Share your city/town/suburb/you name it! Think of this as a photography carnival or photography meme (with or without words) that not only lets you share your part of the world, but lets you visit other parts of the world virtually. If you link up, please link back or post the Sundays In My City button either in your post or sidebar to let people know that other bloggers are sharing their communities too. Happy trails!
Let’s travel the world together!

Looks very cool! The puppets kind of freak me out though… 😛

Just added your link. Sorry I forgot to put the linky in until reminded.
That would be a fun place to visit. I bet the girls enjoyed it!
Sorry no image today, but I saw the first pic in my wordpress Reader – I definitely have to visit the piers one time I’m in San Francisco!
That is so cool!
It is beautiful. I can imagine how excited the girls must have been! <3 When I visit San Francisco, I think I'll just settle down and look at all your Sundays in my City posts! Isn't it fabulous to be able to do that? Have a happy week!
