You can easily forget all that Edison invented or improved 100 years ago that still make our daily lives easier today. Definitely worth the trip if you are nearby and have a few hours to spare...

This museum is a hidden gem. Well worth the time. Get the audio tour. Make a reservation to go to Edison's home as well- The Glenmore Estate - which is just down the road. My only criticism is...

This was an interesting experience! Walking through the various labs makes you appreciate the trial and error involved with invention.. street is great with great stories. Don't forget to check out the house too

This place is great! All three floors were open to walk around in. The rangers are all super helpful and I feel like I learned a lot about Edison. Although you can’t go in the house, you can walk around the outside. Edison’s grave is there as well as some deer. The whole place is awesome and a nice change from the abysmal New Jersey turnpike. I would love to return once the park fixes the machinery inside. (The ranger said it works, just needs a bit of refurbishment).
