Mandel Community Days at Cleveland Museum of Natural History

The Cleveland Museum of Natural History opens its doors for free admission to families from several nearby communities on select weekends through the Mandel Community Days program. Residents of Cleveland, East Cleveland, Brooklyn, Euclid, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, and Warrensville Heights can enjoy full general admission access to all museum exhibits and attractions at no cost. You'll need to reserve your tickets online ahead of time and bring proof of residency—such as a driver's license, utility bill, lease, or pay stub showing your address—to present at the Welcome Desk when you arrive. This is a wonderful opportunity to explore the museum's collections without worrying about admission fees. Whether your kids are interested in natural history, fossils, animals, or interactive exhibits, a day here gives the whole family plenty to discover. The program runs on both Saturdays and Sundays, making it easier to fit a visit into your weekend plans. Just remember to complete your online reservation and have your residency documentation ready to go.
