The only legitimate excuse anyone can have for not visiting the Musée Mécanique is simply not knowing it exists.This is the perfect destination for kids, families, dates, tourists and anyone with an interest in history and culture. Entrance is free and most games/exhibits are extremely cheap. Marvel at turn-of-the-century carnival games that are as morbid as they are sordid. Now I know why people were afraid of circuses.But most of the exhibits are quite lovely. A historical guide gives you some background on how this all came about. Finish that up with skee ball and a view of the San Francisco Bay and you've got yourself a well-spent afternoon.
