I highly recommend visiting the Museum of Science in Boston and attending a lightning show. https://www.mos.org/live-presentations/lightning

The lightning show (with Tesla coils) is absolutely wonderful.

I haven't been to the Boston science museum is probably 20 years. It's nice to hear they're still running that exhibit.

A fun tidbit about the giant Van de Graaff generators they have was that they were built by Robert Van De Graaff himself as part of early linear particle accelerator experiments.
