Thomas Edison National Historical Park | Where Genius Got Messy 💡🔬

Step into Edison’s 1887 lab—where light bulbs were born, phonographs screeched, and invention chaos reigned. Here’s why this NJ time capsule is science nerd heaven: 🧪 Must-Try Experiments 🎤 Wax Cylinder Recording = scream "Mary Had a Little Lamb" like it’s 1877. 🎥 Early Film Studio = shoot silent movies (emoji acting encouraged). ⚡ Battery Lab = touch prehistoric Duracells. Hot Take: That "I’m dumber than a 19th-century intern" feeling? Universal. 🎟️ Logistics ⏰ Hours: Tue-Sun 10 AM-5 PM (house tours 3 PM). 💰 $15 adults = worth every penny (kids free = parent win). 🚗 Drive from NYC: 1 hour (free parking on-site). Pro Tip: Weekday visits = zero school groups. 🌟 Extended Play • MoMA Pitstop = compare Edison to modern tech-art. • Liberty Science Center = kid-friendly physics fun.
