Mandel Community Days at Cleveland Museum of Natural History

The Cleveland Museum of Natural History opens its doors for free admission to local residents through the Mandel Community Days program. Families from Cleveland, East Cleveland, Brooklyn, Euclid, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, and Warrensville Heights can enjoy full general admission access to all museum exhibits and activities without paying an entrance fee. To take advantage of this opportunity, you'll need to reserve your tickets online ahead of time and bring proof of residency when you arrive at the Welcome Desk. Acceptable proof of residency includes documents like your Ohio driver's license, a utility bill, bank statement, medical insurance card, lease or mortgage paperwork, or a recent paystub. This program has been running successfully since early 2022 and now extends free admission to both weekend days, making it easier to plan your museum visit. It's a wonderful way to explore natural history exhibits with your family without worrying about ticket costs.
