Anyone ever gone here? Thinking of taking my 4 year old son here tomorrow. Looks like an interesting place.

It was fun. My son really had fun too. One note there is so much JAMED into that place it's hard to get to some of the machines and even walk around but really interesting to see. We'll do it again.

Ive actually had a full interview with marvin via facebook {not easy to pull off} But have never been. Great guy though and i have researched his work and place extensively. It is more impressive that the photos show, just youtube marvins marvelous mechanical museum. Also check out the musee mechanique if you really want to see some old timey coin operated items and some that the owner dan zalensky {might be spelling the last name wrong there} created.

True restoration is an art form. Like any good artist you have to know what your doing. Painting a single line on a canvas and calling it a masterpiece does not fly in restoring a arcade machine. Do it right
