Marvelous Marvin’s Mechanical Museum was opened by Marvin Yagoda a little over 60 years ago in Farmington Hills, Michigan. Marvin passed away in 2017, but the museum is carried on by his son, Jeremy. Marvelous Marvin’s has 5,000 square feet of interactive decorations and endless coin-operated
attractions.
