Science and Nature

The first stop on your trip opens at 10 a.m. Try to set off in time to get there about 10 minutes before opening.

The father of modern electricity, Thomas Edison, lived and worked here for many years. Almost all modern inventions and achievements of civilization today exist thanks to this great man. And the electric car you drove here can be considered part of his legacy.
After the death of Thomas Edison in 1931, his family kept his home intact so that coming generations could see the place where the future was created. Even the clock in the house shows the time when its owner died.
The museum collection includes about 300,000 exhibits that tell the story of Thomas Edison’s life. One of the most interesting is the recreated Black Mary. This is the very first place in history where movies were filmed. Yes, cinema originated here as well!
The museum is open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Masks are required for everyone, regardless of vaccination status, in all NPS buildings, crowded outdoor spaces, and all forms of enclosed public transportation.

Hiking clothes and Nordic walking poles will come in handy here. The hiking trails in this park have a lot of surprises for you.
Here you'll find amazing natural formations and huge stones set in whimsical compositions, and it looks as if they were made by a giant's hands. As you walk through the park, you will come across various natural rarities like Whale Head Rock, Bear Rock, Tripod Rock, and the stunning Lucy's Overlook.
The visitor center offers several routes, and the most interesting will take you about 2.5 hours and covers 4 miles.

After a long walk in the park and plenty of clean air, you're likely to be hungry. You should stop for lunch at this popular pizzeria.

This museum contains the largest collection of fluorescent stones in the world. You'll see real magic when the electric lights are shut off and the walls, which a minute ago were just gray and uninteresting, shine with thousands of lights. It's impossible to see such an amazing sight and not be impressed!
You can only join an excursion to the mine as part of an organized group, but there are lots of people who want to visit this museum, so be sure to call +19732097212 at least two weeks before the trip to book a tour.

This gingerbread fairytale castle is now closed to visitors for restoration. However it's on the route and can be seen from the car, and it shouldn't take you more than 10 minutes to get some cool photos.

In this park, you'll find several unusual sculptures that the artist Frederic Frank created throughout his life. The artist dedicated his creations to man's striving for peace. “Peace on Earth” is the name of the park, translated from Latin. This is the peace that humanity has lacked so much throughout its entire existence. And it's still missing. So enjoy moments of complete peace and tranquility in a park dedicated to these key issues.
You should try to visit the park from mid-spring to mid-fall when it's still light enough to enjoy the artwork.

It's dinner time. Relax after a full day of touring at this lovely restaurant where a varied gourmet cuisine awaits.
