Musée Mécanique

Private collection of 300+ antique coin-operated arcade machines at Pier 45, including Laffing Sal, the automaton that originally laughed inside the funhouse at Playland at the Beach (1928-1972). Ed Zelinsky started collecting as a kid; his son Dan runs it now. Free entry; machines run $0.25 to $1.00. Bring quarters.

Fisherman’s WharfMuseums

Palace of Fine Arts

The grounds are free and open daily, which is why it draws so many picnickers and wedding photographers around the lagoon; check the Theatre calendar for what's on.
