This is part of a series of family-oriented day trip outings around the San Francisco Bay Area I look forward to enjoying with my kids once social distancing and shelter in place isn’t the norm any longer.

Cliff House Stroll — A Bonus Adventure

A visit to the Cliff House is a step back in time. As a kid, the Musée Mécanique was located in the basement of the Cliff House, the entrance across from the Camera Obscura. During its last renovations, the Musée Mécanique had to relocate to Pier 45. But visiting it at the Cliff House gave added effect to stepping back in time playing with all the classic arcade games. I’m glad to see the Cliff House looking so good, but I miss visiting the Cliff House of my youth.
