The Musee Mecanique is a free-admission museum that showcases more than 300 fun and unique penny arcade games and arcade artifacts from the 20th century, held as part of the private collections of original museum owner Ed Zelinsky. The museum, which is located at San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf, was opened as an exhibit at the city's Playland beachside amusement park throughout the mid-2oth century and was incorporated into the Gold Gate National Recreation Area in the 1970s. Today, it attracts more than 100,000 annual visitors, with all games available for play for an additional coin fee. Amusement artifacts are also showcased, including a Laffing Sal automaton and the world's only steam-powered motorcycle.
