World's Largest Van De Graff Generator

We have been here so many times that we got a membership. Aside from the World's Largest Van De Graff Generator, the museum has much more to see, and they are always changing things. They have great movies -- also on the largest screen -- it looks like you are in the movie.

There is a large parking garage.

World's Largest Van De Graff Generator

The world's largest van De Graff Generator is housed at the Museum of Science in Boston. They put on an awesome electricity theater production talking about lightning and such. The lightning comes from the generator and comes over the audience. Bring ear plugs because it does get loud.
