Mandel Community Days at Cleveland Museum of Natural History

The Cleveland Museum of Natural History opens its doors to area families through the Mandel Community Days program, offering free admission to residents of several nearby communities. If you live in Cleveland, East Cleveland, Brooklyn, Euclid, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, or Warrensville Heights, you and your family can explore the entire museum at no cost. Just reserve your tickets online ahead of time and bring proof of residency—a driver's license, utility bill, insurance card, lease, or pay stub all work—to show at the Welcome Desk when you arrive. With free admission, you get full access to everything included in a regular museum ticket, so your kids can enjoy all the exhibits and activities the natural history museum has to offer. This is a great opportunity to spend a full day discovering fossils, animals, and interactive displays without worrying about ticket costs. The program runs on weekends, making it easy to plan a meaningful outing during your family's free time.
