Mandel Community Days at Cleveland Museum of Natural History

The Cleveland Museum of Natural History opens its doors for free to families living in several nearby communities, including Cleveland, East Cleveland, Brooklyn, Euclid, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, and Warrensville Heights. This program, which started in 2022, now runs on both Saturdays and Sundays, giving local residents regular opportunities to explore the museum without admission costs. To take advantage of this offer, you'll need to reserve your tickets online ahead of time and bring proof of residency when you arrive. Acceptable proof includes a current driver's license, utility bill, bank statement, medical insurance card, lease or mortgage paperwork, or a recent paystub. Your free admission gives you full access to everything the museum offers—no skipping lines or limited exhibits. It's a wonderful way to spend a weekend with your kids exploring natural history exhibits and collections.
