With over 300 machines, Musée Mécanique offers a nostalgic journey through time, showcasing everything from antique arcade games to mechanical musical instruments.
The Musée Mécanique is home to the iconic Laughing Sal, a 6-foot-tall animatronic figure that has been delighting visitors with her infectious laughter since the 1930s.
Founded by Edward Galland Zelinsky, the museum is now managed by his son, Dan, who continues to share their passion for vintage amusements with the world.
Musée Mécanique's Laughing Sal has a twin sister located at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, both originally designed to attract visitors to funhouses.
Before moving to Fisherman's Wharf, the museum was a beloved fixture at the historic Cliff House, offering panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean.
At Musée Mécanique, you can try your hand at vintage games like the 1906 'Baseball' or the 1928 'Love Tester,' offering a unique glimpse into the past.
Visitors can explore the museum without an entry fee, only paying to play the machines, making it an affordable and fun stop in San Francisco.
