Mandel Community Days at Cleveland Museum of Natural History

The Cleveland Museum of Natural History opens its doors to families from nearby communities on designated 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, lease agreement, paystub, or similar document showing your address—when you arrive at the Welcome Desk. With free admission, you'll have access to all the exhibits and experiences included with a regular ticket, making this a great opportunity to explore the museum's collections without worrying about admission costs. It's worth planning your visit in advance by booking online, which also helps you skip lines at entry. This program makes it easy for families in the area to enjoy a full day of learning and discovery together.
