Dinosaurs Weekend at Playland

Step way back in time and hunt for all the dinosaurs hidden throughout the Museum of Fun. Learn about the wide range of animals that once roamed the earth, answer questions and win more prizes. Exciting and educational!  As an added treat, internationally renowned author Jim Smith will be at Playland-Not-at-the-Beach both days to sign his new book "San Francisco's Playland at the Beach: The Early Years".  The special events of "Dinosaurs Weekend" are in addition to all of Playland's regular attractions. Playland-Not-at-the-Beach is a nonprofit Museum of Fun. Designed and built entirely by volunteers, the 20+ interactive exhibits celebrate the magic and history of America's bygone amusements -- circuses, carnivals, magic, side shows, penny arcades, amusement devices, pinball arcades, haunted houses, and beautiful art everywhere. Our goal is to educate newer generations about the bygone days and allow those who remember Whitney's Playland and the Sutro Baths the opportunity to recapture the glorious sights and sounds of that marvelous era.
Guests pay one low price to enter and can play all day: $10 for children and seniors, and $15 for general admission. Open 10:00am-5:00pm.
