We loved it, and were sorry to leave at closing time. Fortunately I live in the area. It has lots of scary-creepy sideshow monsters and freaks of nature, and a terrific &#8216;Slayland at the Beach&#8217; model diorama, of about 8 windows, with lights and moving parts. Even better if clowns scare you. Regular admission is $15.00 but you can play pinball and many carnival games for free. There were many games I never heard of, although I&#8217;ve been to San Francisco&#8217;s Musee Mechanique. One 3-D pinball room is dark, and you appear to float on a many layered floor. There are spider-women and other creepy images, and a mummy in a case. This place has a lot of association with Anton LaVey, as he lived near and loved Playland and the Sutro Baths, as well as working at carnivals that have featured exhibits, such as Sells-Floto. Don&#8217;t forget your camera &#8211; there are no restrictions on photos.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Playland Not-At-The-Beach (El Cerrito, California) Recommended by Riley: &#8220;If you&#8217;re in the Bay Area, don&#8217;t miss this new nonprofit attraction.
