Seriously, the Spark Museum is the best place we've been to in years. The docents available to demonstrate are beyond amazing, knowledgeable and engaging!

You have to watch the theater show. The curator was continually looking for lost props and dragging around extension cords. Best quote: "If Edison didn't invent the electric light someone would have a week later, he had a great publicist, not that we shouldn't respect his genius."
