Where can I find a full-fledged Whac-A-Mole arcade game in the Bay Area? Near San Francisco, on the Peninsula, or near Oakland would be ideal.

Check with the Musee Mecanique at Fisherman's Wharf.

Thanks, but I was at the Musee recently and didn't see one. (I did drop a lot of quarters on The Addams Family.)

This place claims to have Whack-a-mole.

Whoops, sorry! Wrong location.

You could try Chuck E. Cheese. There's one in San Bruno. I've never been to that one, but the Chuck E. Cheese I've been to in Maryland had a Whac-a-Mole.

I saw one a few years ago at the miniature golf place in Livermore. Kind of out of your range, but you might call.

Cowbell, that was a great idea, but I called and they don't have a Whac-A-Mole. Thanks anyway.

You could try Malibu Grand Prix in Redwood City, or Safari Run in San Mateo.

There are Whac-a-Mole machines on the Santa Cruz beach Boardwalk.

Toxic, thanks. I actually knew about that one (and should have mentioned it) but was hoping to find one closer.

Playland-not-at-the-beach on San Pablo in El Cerrito probably has it, and they're BART-able. Contact info here.

The arcade at Pier 39 has one.
