Bay Area attractions

About

NOTE: This page is a daughter page of: Travel

I moved to Mountain View (part of the "Bay Area") late 2012 and started this page to help me work out what place I want to visit. Much of this list is thanks to Richard Woodworth.

I have a more proper San Francisco attractions page.. this is just a list of some places to check out.

Some Tourist Spots

• http://www.mysteryspot.com/ - The Mystery Spot is a tourist attraction which claims to have abnormal gravity and physics properties. Illusion experienced by visitors result from the oddly tilted environment and tilted floor. Inside the tilted room of the Mystery Spot, misperceptions of the height and orientation of objects occur. Heard it's pretty fun though. Appears recommend that you buy advanced tickets online.
