Mandel Community Days at Cleveland Museum of Natural History

The Cleveland Museum of Natural History opens its doors to local families through the Mandel Community Days program, offering free admission to residents of several nearby communities. If you live in Cleveland, East Cleveland, Brooklyn, Euclid, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, or Warrensville Heights, you and your family can explore the museum's full general admission offerings at no cost. Just reserve your tickets online ahead of time and bring proof of your residency—a current driver's license, utility bill, bank statement, medical insurance card, lease, mortgage statement, or paystub will all work. This expanded program runs on both Saturdays and Sundays, giving families flexible options for a museum visit. When you arrive, show your residency documentation at the Welcome Desk, and you're all set to enjoy everything the museum has to offer. It's a wonderful opportunity to spend a full day (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.) exploring natural history exhibits with your kids without worrying about admission fees.
