This is silly, crazy, huge and it works! Gotta love finding these things on Google Places. Its like things I see that I dont think other people see or at least appreciate enough to notice, do! I love walking and seeing this magical totally odd treasure. Thank you once again SF! And who doesnt love waling up and down Point Lobos to get there! Great great walk. Tourists, make it a destination!

I went here on March 23, 2015. I was there during business hours, and it was CLOSED. This was my 3rd attempt to see this tourist attraction, and every time, it was closed! Is it ever open anymore? I called the phone number and it went to a recording that I could hear inside the building. It was a waste of time and fuel.

Es una construcción con que si se la mira con amor tiene forma de cámara fotográfica retro! Lo que salva el lugar es la excelente vista del océano

An amazing display of holographic projection. Sadly it was rather foggy on the day of my visit, but it was still worth it. I hope they can keep this quirky site going for many more years - go visit and see how cool cleverly placed mirrors and a dark room really can be!

Luogo spettacolare scogliera a picco sul mare...che ospita una riproduzione di una camera ottica gigante!!

This is magical...the beauty of the oceans shimmering---unparalleled. I love this place! Every visitor I have goes here with me...and they are all entranced. And the history behind it---I just love Camera Obscura!!

nice views, go there before sunset for great photos. generally pretty cold. but thats SF. if your out at the beach, grab a drink at cliff house, and walk over here for views.

Well worth a brief visit on your way to or from the Cliff House. The camera obscura is stunningly clear and a fascinating piece of early optical technology.

Fun place to discover when youre walking the beach. I wouldnt make a destination of it, but it certainly adds character to the coastline.

Unfortunately it was closed when I went there today because of the weather. Make sure to check if itll be foggy before showing up!

The view is stunning, especially at the end of the day. The remains of the Sutro baths are fun to hike around. Love this place!

The image in the dish is more beautiful than any film, digital or analogue, that you will ever see. This is art at its best.

3 dollars is a bargain when you get to watch a completely analog panoramic view of the entire Cliff House/Sutro coastline.

This is a classic tourist spot - inside of the camera is a big dish that has the ocean outside projected onto it. Magical!

Very small, but beautiful. The image projection of the waves and surrounding scenery is clear and intense.

Loved the picture - infinite resolution and frame rate, no recorded projection can match this.

Its a tiny dank room with very little explainations on what anything is.
