Field Trips

Field Trips are our chance to get out and see how things work. We visit plants, museums, factories, and local landmarks around the Bay Area, and we usually get a guided tour from someone who knows the place inside out.

Most trips are a couple of hours on a weekday morning. Each trip lists when and where to meet, the cost if there is one, and how much walking to expect. Tours have limited group sizes, so please register ahead of time.



Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness. Mark Twain

Pinball Museum Long before video games, back when “gaming” meant quarters, bumpers, and bells; we had PINBALL. Here’s a chance to play it again. Rediscover the machines that kept us out of trouble — and sometimes in trouble! Tilt! Bump! Score! Your youth is calling!

Thursday, Oct. 22, · $15 · Pacific Pinball Museum · 1510 Webster Street, Alameda CA
