Edison Museum

The museum was a little hard to find behind the big building. The lady who works here was very helpful and told us a lot. I'm still wondering why the museum tells people that Edison was the inventor of the light bulb, which technically isn't true. Edison made many inventions, and this museum exhibits most of them.

Small museum, easy to navigate throughout quickly, basically you’re on your own. You just need to sign in on a visit list. Admission is free. Original artifacts. Educational.

Our visit to the Edison Plaza Museum was an exciting and educational experience for our K–3 migrant students. The museum staff was incredibly welcoming and created a fun, hands-on learning environment. Students learned about Thomas Edison and how his inventions—especially the light bulb—changed everyday life. They explored how electricity works, viewed early electrical appliances, and enjoyed interactive exhibits that made science come alive. The tour sparked curiosity and helped students connect history, science, and innovation in a meaningful way. We’re thankful to the Edison Plaza Museum team for such a memorable and inspiring experience.

This was a really informative experience, well labelled exhibits which are kept up to date, and take visitors through the remarkable inventions Edison. probably a little difficult for young visitors to access, but those of us who have witnessed the transition to the digital and virtual age will enjoy exploring the earlier technological transition from candle to electric light bulb, morse to radio and theatre to movie. There's lots of information about the Titanic too. Allow yourself a couple of hours - there are 2 floors!

I really wanted to see this museum. Not easy to find but we got there during the advertised opening hours to find it locked. Tried phoning, no information just an answer phone. Person in the next building said to us the opening hours are very random and sometimes there is a notice outside saying when they will next be open and sometimes there isn’t. No information on the day we got there and disappointed not to be able to see what sounds like a good museum. Dear Edison Museum, please put up-to-date information on your website and phone line to avoid wasted journeys, and enable interested people to arrive on a day you are actually open.
