Mandel Community Days at Cleveland Museum of Natural History

The Cleveland Museum of Natural History opens its doors for free admission to families living in several nearby communities, including Cleveland, East Cleveland, Brooklyn, Euclid, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, and Warrensville Heights. This long-running program, which began in 2022, now welcomes visitors on both Saturdays and Sundays throughout the year. With free admission, your family gets full access to all the exhibits and experiences included with a regular ticket—a great opportunity to explore dinosaurs, natural history displays, and interactive galleries without the admission cost. To take advantage of this offer, reserve your tickets online ahead of time and bring proof of residency when you visit. Acceptable documents include an Ohio driver's license, utility bill, bank statement, lease agreement, mortgage statement, pay stub, or insurance card showing your address. Just present these materials at the Welcome Desk when you arrive, and you're all set to spend the day exploring. It's a wonderful way for local families to enjoy the museum together on weekends.
