Visited here with my younger brother on a weekend. They have many different pinball machines and a few interesting dioramas with various themes. They did a fun comedy magic show and also have a some classic carnival games.

Fun museum of memorabilia Americana. So much of old San Francisco's history. A decent collection of good pinball machines.

Playland is a great time. The games are fun, a nostalgic "back t the basics" pinball and skeeball experience. My six year old lobes it!

Almost unknown home of dozens of coin operated machines and no coins needed. Allow at least 90 minutes. Terrific fun for any age and especially for kids.
