Created in partnership with the Pacific Pinball Museum in Alameda, this exhibit of rare pinball machines will delight people of all ages.  On display are vintage San Francisco themed games, including a one-of-a-kind pinball machine featuring an aerial view of the 1939-1940 Golden Gate International Exhibition.  An accompanying video, courtesy of the Prelinger Archive, shows rare footage from the GGIE.  
Two of the pinball machines on display can be played at no cost, providing free, playable fun for the whole family. Don’t miss this blast from the past!
