Interesting little park with lots of history and nature trail which I did not get to do on my first visit. Museum on site was closed when I arrived but enjoyed just taking pictures and reading the information. They have benches around the monument and picnic tables st the start of the trail. Great little spot for lunch or for sunset to see it light up (which I did not stay for this time around).

Good small informative area. A nice small trail in the woods.

It is a nice place. It puts you in the era of great Invention by Edison and colleagues.

Nice road not to much traffic so we got home on time

Beautiful trail for a short walk. Parking is not enough though.

The tower is cool

Enjoyed an interesting par with some historical trails

Beautiful historical spot of interest, low grade easy trails

Edison lived there. This park is not large but different.

Great trail and walk. Tons of history in a beautiful setting for such an illustrious man.

Small place but good tour

It’s a historic connection with electricity

Visit this museum when Chuck the tour guide is working on Saturdays.Out of all the tours Ive visited, this was by far the most engaging and interesting ever.I knew little about this person but what they had was brilliant.

Memorable place, big park

I walked the woods with - marked trails, spotted some deer and squirrels. All I care about, so..great!

Nice little place to get some insight into Edison and the town

If you dont know anything about Thomas Edison this is a great place to learn. They have original artifacts & a very informative tour guide. I think the entry fee was $5. But the monument is free to see.

Interesting but lacking history and meaning.

Place with lot of interesting history. Also there is one well maintained trail. Good for kids.

I love this park coming to this park when I was going to middlesex county college which is next door to it and has a walking path between both of them. There is a running track which is new, I love to walk on the tar path with kids where its easy for them to ride bikes. They do have mile markers so you know how much you have walked on the path. Two bathrooms first one is near the track and the other one is near field number 4 and next to baseball field.

Best and nice........

Cute park, with nature trail.

Nice, simple memorial for Edison.

What a wonderful place to visit in the fall, the trail is such a peaceful place.

Great museum. Small in size but rich in history. Park might do with some more cleaning(depends on volunteers) but still good.

Not for late fall. Spooky Halloween festival

Worth the $5 per person for the guided tour. My 11 year old loved learning about Edison and his inventions.

It is a memorial to Thomas Edison build in 1938 on his 91st birthday. There is also a park near the memorial. One can witness the first bulb lit here.

They have a very nice nature trail here for hiking.

Lovely place

Small museum but so much to learn.

Small local park in memory of Edison.

Good place to learn about some history

Small museum, but guides gives nice info.

Nice park. Museum was closed.

I loved this park. The tower is beautiful and the museum was small, but informative. There is a walking trail through the woods behind the museum. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.

It is the best little known secret of the township of Edison. Behind the tower, there is a party which has picnic tables and a nice little trail. A great place to spend a summer day.

One of my favorite spots in NJ ..one mile away

Great day out with the family, my daughter wants to learn Morse code now. Take the tour the volunteers were informative and fun. Look forward to returning when its warmer.

Great learning experience for kids and adults.

Its a nice Small park n mesuem. They offer a tour n explain history. Good spot to spend an hour.

Very nice. Relaxing . walking paths

A beautiful park!

What an awesome place crawling with history

Cool piece of history! I also took a nice walk on the nature trail that leads into the woods. It was a well maintained trail.

Nice park loved it.

Good place for 1-2 hours visit

Nice place for all.

No, it’s not that fascinating in terms of a trail. It needs maintence and it’s extremely short and confusing. The museum is extremely small, somewhat informative.

Great place

Had a great tour through the small museum. Chuck gave the tour. Very entertaining and knowledgeable.

Nice local place to Visit

Very nice place. Ive learned a lot about life and work of Thomas Edison

Chillax Spot Stones Throw Way away from Menlo Park Mall...

Small park near the site of the Edison Menlo Park lab. Close to the memorial and small museum. Not a great park. Lacking formal parking.

A beautiful park and a great museum too. A wonderful place to visit for the whole family and learn about Thomas Edisons great inventions

Nice park. They keep it clean and tidy. Always parking here.

It is the place to learn how Google, Facebook and Microsoft were born. Edison laid the foundation for modern communication system. Edisons wire communication evolved into wireless communication. They must pay tribute to this place.

Very nice historic museum. Learned alot - guides were terrific!

Great place to learn about the hx of edison

Absolutely Amazing!!!!

I had fun visiting the lightbulb and the park.

It was ok not much to do or see

The scenery was beautiful and the tour was very informative about Thomas Edison.

The museum is good, but other than that there isnt much to see

Nice little trail and informative on when Thomas Edison used to live in this street

The Edison State Park is located in the Menlo Park section of Edison, New Jersey. Very near to the Metropark train station. The park commemorates the site where the famous inventor Thomas Alva Edison had his Menlo Park laboratory. Tour costs 5$ and is totally worth it.Touch and fell Edisons great invention and learn his story.A must visit for all especially for Kids.

Nice place to see Thomas A Edison lab and his invention

If you happen to be in the area, its a cute place to stop. Not much to see. There is an imposing monument with a light bulb atop. A small, I mean small, building with historical facts inside. There was a local class trip, so we didnt go in. The monument had plaques around it stating historical facts. The factual item missed, Tesla used AC current to light the word. Edison made the bulb. His stanch desire for DC current in homes started to cause his demise. His electrocution of an elephant, to show AC powers dangers, was the start of his downfall. Not much to see. Dont know whats inside that tiny building. The monument has a bulb inside with a plaque. The photo someone too.. well thats all fokes.

Very dissapointing compared to the pictures on their website, but theres a long path around the monument where you can enjoy a nice walk

There is nothing here apart from a pointless monument in the middle of a residential area. Waste of tax payers money.

Nice place for some time

This is the location of Edisons original research facility. This is where the electric light bulb and phonograph were invented (plus many other things). Human speech was first recorded and played back on this very spot! Edison was actually a celebrity of his time... people came just to watch him walk between the buildings.

Good place to sit.

Good..but a scary trek..noticed a snake and poison ivy everywhere...mind your step....

Science at its best...

Interesting monument. But nothing else.

Wonderful museum, informative tour guide

Menlo Park awesome place for science lovers

Has a nice walking trail around the park

Everybody needs to check this out!

Good place

Always feels peaceful to visit this place.
