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. If you live in Cleveland, East Cleveland, Brooklyn, Euclid, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, or Warrensville Heights, you and your family can enjoy full general admission access without paying an entrance fee. Just reserve your tickets online beforehand and bring proof of your residency—a current driver's license, utility bill, insurance statement, lease, or pay stub all work—to show at the Welcome Desk when you arrive. This is a great opportunity to explore the museum's full range of exhibits and attractions at no cost. The free admission includes everything covered by a regular ticket, so your family can spend the whole day discovering dinosaurs, natural wonders, and interactive displays. Since the program began in 2022, thousands of local families have taken advantage of these community days. Plan ahead by securing your spot online, and you'll be all set for a budget-friendly outing that keeps everyone entertained.
