Niña 🌺August 15, 2012Try to beat the arm wrestling machine just like Queen Clarisse Renaldi from Princess Diaries. I think this is the same spot :P
RemyMarch 26, 2012Lots of old-timey peeping booths and moving puppets! (if you're into that sort of thing....)
Kelly 🍰February 26, 2012Free admission and most games are a quarter. The laughing doll machines laugh too long and are creepy
Aari LudvigsenAugust 5, 2013It's a history museum your kids will think you're a god for taking them to.

- S PlisskenMay 23, 2010Go to the area with foosball tables but skip those and try out a few rounds of slot hockey!
Check out the awesome antique mechanical games at Musee Mechanique. Also, killer vintage arcade games: Spy Hunter, Moon Patrol, Star Wars & Addams Family pinball rule.
