I can't say enough good things about this place, and feel very fortunate to have this museum where I live. Very interesting exhibits and possibly the best overall antique electronics exhibit anywhere. If you have any interest at all in electronics and history, this is a great place to go for the morning or afternoon. Or both. More

The museum has actually changed its name to Spark Museum of Electrical Invention but it is still downtown Bellingham taking up most of a city block. When I arrived in Bellingham 17 years ago, the museum was a little hole in the wall. With grant funding and healthy community membership support, it has expanded greatly. Everything from old phonographs, radios,... More

During our trip through the northwest of the USA we went to this museum (now called SPARK). Especially my boyfriend is very interested in electricity and when we read about this museum, we decided to go there. We're glad we did. They were in the middle of reconstructing the museum, but still we could see I think most of the... More

We loved this place and the volunteers were amazingly knowledgeable so ensure you ask questions and have them walk you through the exhibits. See the Tesla coil demonstration! I was anxious to go shopping and had planned on staying maybe an hour but it was so fascinating, we ended up there for the afternoon. Now we just have to bring... More

This is a jewel in Bellingham. Great exhibition with Smithsonian-quality displays. More

Newly remodeled, this place gives the visitor a glimpse into what it must have been like to be charting a course into electricity back when virtually all the equipment was constructed by hand. Allow extra time since those early inventions are linked up to more modern applications of the same principles discovered long ago. Dan H. More

This interesting museum is packed with displays and radio-related equipment that helps to explain to visitors how electricity and radio was developed, and the impact that both have had on our lives. But it's not self- explanatory. We have been several times, with and without out-of-town guests. We have found that, unless you have docent, many times you really don't... More

Really fine hands on experience of experiments, inventors, actual equipment used, how the understanding grew and had the real original light bulbs from edison, original radios and lamps and lots of visual exhibits that kept my kids and partner well entertained. I throughly enjoyed it. More

This museum is not to be missed. You might expect the subject to be dry and boring, but you are guaranteed to come away with a new understanding of how the properties of electricity were discovered and developed over the centuries. The displays are interactive, educational and interesting to all ages and levels. It covers centuries-old experiments and modern-day developments.... More
