San Francisco, California - Wave Organ It's on a little tiny peninsula (peninsuletta?!) just east of the Golden Gate Yacht Club on Bay Street in the Marina District -- a water organ built out of pieces from an old graveyard. Go at high tide and listen to the various rumblings through the pipes. The Wave Organ is free and approachable on foot 24 hours a day. Also, it's near the Exploratorium, an awesome interactive science museum. [Erin Merritt, 02/25/1998][RA: Update, June 2002 - Tipster Cheryl Roberts sent a few photos and reported: "The customer relations fella at the St. Francis Yacht Club said that he understood that the ruins that form the Wave Organ were from some type of carnival attraction, not of a graveyard. But he didn't sound too sure of himself.
He said that all of the pipes in the organ are now clogged and never make
any noise. It truly is a shame.... But it's definitely still cool to view."]
