A must visit but hard to find attraction along Fishermans Wharf is Musée Mécanique, a collection of over 200 antique penny arcade games, nickelodeons, music boxes, fortune tellers, and vintage pinball. My favorite is Laffing Sal, a six foot somewhat creepy animated figure who delighted or scared children at Playland on the Beach from 1940 to 1972. The free museum is located at Pier 45, Shed A.
