Tuck then made the decision to turn the building into a museum dedicated to fun. After eight years of design work and construction, Playland-Not-At-The-Beach opened on May 31, 2008. Playland-Not-At-The-Beach was featured on the local San Francisco television show Eye on the Bay on November 23, 2009. [4]
