Mandel Community Days at Cleveland Museum of Natural History

The Cleveland Museum of Natural History opens its doors to families from several nearby communities on select weekends through the Mandel Community Days program. If you live in Cleveland, East Cleveland, Brooklyn, Euclid, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, or Warrensville Heights, your family can enjoy free admission to the museum on Saturdays and Sundays. You'll have access to all the exhibits and experiences included with a regular ticket, which means a full day of exploration without the usual entry fee. Getting in is straightforward: reserve your tickets online ahead of time, then bring a valid proof of residency when you arrive. Acceptable documents include an Ohio driver's license, utility bill, bank statement, insurance card, lease or mortgage paperwork, or a paystub. This program has been welcoming local families since 2022, giving thousands of residents the chance to experience the museum's natural history collections and interactive spaces at no cost.
