Edison Park

Edison Park is located in historic Fort Myers in Florida, a higher priced attraction that is well worth the effort to visit. Its club area is free to visitors, providing a vast museum and garden to play in.

The park has memberships that afford varied privileges. However, even paying guests can enjoy touring its museum laboratory, devoted to the intellect and creativity of Thomas Edison, after which the park was named.

The park has numerous houses that were used by Edison during his invention years. Visitors can take a peek through their windows and see how Edison was able to apply his energy and enthusiasm towards practical science. Varied displays and exhibits show the stages through which Edison went to create his inventions, as well as background information that few museums provide.

The museum also has a brilliant, outdoor cafe, a kiosk of sorts that has snacks and drinks for visitors. The gardens are filled with varied and local fauna and flora, as well as comfortable park benches where visitors can enjoy their food in a peaceful and picturesque environment.

Edison Park is very historic in its own right. Although visitors will find the kiosk's inability to accept credit cards to be a minor set-back; the park more than makes up for this with friendly staff and quick service, providing ample exhibits and information to provide a very educational and inspiring outing.
