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 this Mandel Community Days event. 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 collection at no cost. Just reserve your tickets online ahead of time and bring proof of residency—an Ohio driver's license, utility bill, bank statement, medical insurance statement, lease agreement, mortgage statement, paystub, or W2—to show at the Welcome Desk when you arrive. This program, which began in 2022, has grown to offer free community access on both Saturdays and Sundays. With your free admission, you'll have access to everything included with a regular ticket, so your kids can discover dinosaurs, animals, and natural wonders throughout the museum. It's a wonderful way to spend a day learning together without worrying about admission costs.
