Mandel Community Days at Cleveland Museum of Natural History

The Cleveland Museum of Natural History opens its doors for free admission through the Mandel Community Days program, welcoming families from surrounding communities to explore everything the museum has to offer. If you live in Cleveland, East Cleveland, Brooklyn, Euclid, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, or Warrensville Heights, you and your family can enjoy a full day of discovery without paying admission. Just reserve your tickets online ahead of time and bring proof that you live in one of these areas—a driver's license, utility bill, lease agreement, or paystub all work. Your free admission includes complete access to all general museum exhibits and attractions, so you can spend as much time as you'd like wandering through displays. Simply present your residency documentation at the Welcome Desk when you arrive. This program has been running successfully since 2022 and continues to give thousands of local families an affordable way to visit one of the region's premier cultural institutions. It's a great opportunity to spend a weekend day learning and having fun together without worrying about ticket costs.
