Mandel Community Days at Cleveland Museum of Natural History

The Cleveland Museum of Natural History opens its doors to families from several neighboring 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 entire museum. Just reserve your tickets online ahead of time and bring proof of residency—a current driver's license, utility bill, insurance statement, lease agreement, or paystub all work—to show at the Welcome Desk when you arrive. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore everything the museum has to offer without worrying about ticket costs. Kids can dive into exhibits, learn about natural history, and spend hours discovering something new. The program has been running since early 2022 and continues to welcome thousands of local families each year. Plan your visit during the museum's daytime hours and make a full day of it exploring at your own pace.
