The Musée Mécanique is a collection of penny arcade games and related artifacts. The museum contains one of the world’s largest privately owned collections of mechanically operated musical instruments and antique arcade machines. Many exhibits are over 100 years old. It is presently located at Pier 45 in the Fisherman’s Wharf visitor area. Prior to 2002 it was housed in the lower level of the Cliff House.

Several well-known attractions include Laffing Sal (who greets visitors as they enter), Susie the Can-Can Dancer, and the fascinating Carnival. The collection was created by Edward Galland Zelinsky, whose family maintains the collection. The museum also includes a small video game arcade with games of more recent vintage. Entrance is free, and most exhibits cost 25 or 50 cents to operate.
