Reviews of Great Lakes Science Center (Museum)

MsPsyli

The cafe has excellent food even if the prices are higher, they are fair for the area. It is next door to the rock and roll hall of fame. The science center had a free day and there were a lot of exhibits to check out. My daughter are teens and they really enjoyed it.

Evan Danielson

Despite a few dated exhibits, it is a well put together and maintained museum. Their space exhibits are particularly interesting, due to their partnership with the NASA Glenn Research Center.

Tiredof Allthis

Place is great. So much to do here. Can get pretty crowded and wild with all the day camp kids though.

Brian Celidonia

A really neat place to take the kids!

Dflex of OHIO

It's a fun place to go on a date. I took my girlfriend out there and we had a good time. Only problem was that I got a headache from the blast of nostalgia of being there as a kid. Not to much changed...

Joe Volpe

It's fun but sometimes some of the activities are broken. The live exhibits are great though.

Lance Polston

Unfortunately the corporation that runs greyhound doesn't think it's a good idea to staff the various greyhound bus terminals. This always seems to be a shortage of personnel be it baggage handlers people behind a counter or of I just wanna ask a question they're not there. It just doesn't work today I guess their motto is cut back is the way to go. It sad , because I hear , Greyhound drive complaining about there equipment. AKA there buses. They look bad. And Greyhound, used to be a great Company.

Great interactive science center. Good choice to visit with children!

Tarah Hoffman

Everything was GREAT!!! My kids loved the car exhibit. The only thing is that there is no nursing area or family restroom for nursing mothers to sit and relax. I went to the restroom with my 2 year old to change his diaper and there was a woman breastfeeding her baby in a stall! I felt so bad for her!!! An establishment that caters to families should have those types of areas. Also, I believe an adult changing area would be nice as well!!

Carl Dolvin

Wonderful mixture of exhibits and it's reasonably priced. The IMAX movies are the most fun in my opinion but there's always something for young and old alike! Personally I think it's perfect for ages 3 to 13!

B Gross

A science center for all ages. They have multiple floors, spanning scientific disciplines and target ages. Standout areas include the space exhibits and the physics floor. The physics floor is a huge selection of hands-on experiments that demonstrate aspects of physics, such as optics, magnetism, sound, electricity, kinematics, etc. Kids of all ages would enjoy, but the best target audience might be middle and high school ages (as well as adults). There is also an area for a temporary exhibit, so be sure to check what that is. We typically spend 4-6 hours here, and make the trip about once a year (as we're from out-of-town).

Mohammed Ibrahim

Awesome attractions. The area has several places you can visit like the Rock and roll hall of fame, the NASA museum and the science museum. You can also visit the water front area and take pictures. Brown's stadium and ball park are not too far either.

michael terrano

My 4 year old loves this place and so do I, it teaches her great science

Jeff Robertson

Kids loved it, didn't even realize they were learning in the midst of all the fun.

M Moore

Great for Space Nuts and for people with young children older children will not have as much to do

Gerald Hallsten

Unbelievable and inconceivable wood and ivory carvings. Railway locomotives - trains and pliers - his favorates. However, many other carvings that you did not think were possible. Inspirational. Encouragement for kids too - (a value to show dedication and hard work.

Eric Watz

Lots of fun science center with many interactive exhibits. Around Halloween you can see a pumpkin explosion which is always cool

Steven Harrah

Make extra time with your kids or grandchildren and you go back to being a kid with them. Fun potential is unlimited if you let it happen.

Felisa Alvarez

We visited here and the whole family enjoyed this experience

Mohammad Mahmoud

An amazing and fantastic place to get your kids and enjoy the science there...very informative place about the US scientific history and many applications too help people better understand theories and basics of science. It takes 1:30 to 2:30 hours to tour the place. There is a playing area for kids below 7 years, there is a cafeteria and a shop to buy souvenirs. Tickets: buy them online to save money. PARKING: There is a parking for 8$ and i do recommend to park there not to the limited one in the street (where you will be fined). As a summary this place is really recommended to visit with kids.

Kevin Myers

Attended wedding at the center. Great time

Kassie Hobbs

My husband and I, grown adults, thoroughly enjoyed our time at the museum. It truly is enjoyable for people of all ages. We highly recommend!

Teri Klinger

Fun, educational place for kids! My grandkids ages 17 mos..3...and 4.5 love it! Ball pit and other indoor fun, plus fun outside with water tables and slide for warm weather. Small cafeteria with over priced food...but it is tasty. Could use more indoor sitting for when it's crowded. The temporary exhibits such as duct tape slides and cars have been well received by my grandkids. My adult son with autism also loves going there. Definitely recommend!

Sunkist Mehta

Great for Kids! However, if you're an adult and have been to a few other good science museums in the country, you may find this one disappointing. The Vroom Car Adventure exhibit is quite interesting and car lovers both young and old would love to interact with the exhibits here.

Hossein Karagah

Great place for kids as well as adults to spare few hours and learn scientific concepts, parking was included in the ticket. You can also consider visiting Rock&Roll museum because it is in walking distance. They also have rooms to be reserved for birthday parties.

Stacie Hawkins

Soooooooo much fun!!! Plan on a full day here!! There is so much to do and most of it is interactive.

Julius Jenkins III

The great lakes science center is THE place for young people and people in general to learn about the exciting advances and phenomena that science unearths in its various discoveries. It also happens to be the place where most science fairs happen. It's legitimately a fun place to be if you have the time. Well worth it!

Robin MommyofTwo

Very informative and interesting especially for young children. My nephew loved it.

Adam Brooks

This is definitely something I would recommend for schools to make field trips for that has Hands-On exhibits and it is educational.

Sara Hinkle

We had such a great time with so much to do. We spent over 5 hours here and could have spent more time but they were closing. We enjoyed it better then the imagination station. More things to do and touch for children of all ages.

Michelle L. Sams

A lot to do for every age. Great young children areas that you can let your children have hands on expierences.

sockeye bob

Toured the Mather. Very cool. Friendly and informative docents

Karissa Clark

Lots of fun stuff to do, we have a 7 month old and a 2 year old. There were even fun things for them to try, and a giant ball pit area. Lots of fun.

Jas Arianna

Kids had a great time at the Marker Faire

Mahmoud Rabah

I had a good time visiting. It has multiple floors and loads of exhibits.

Billy Robinette

Third floor is fun for kids. Second floor exhibits lacked appeal and something did not work.

Melinda Guinn

Really interesting activities for kids of all ages. Loved to see a moon rock. The kids enjoyed the moon landing simulation game. The race car exhibit was lots of fun with interesting matchbox car tracks and a build your own mini race car station. Lots of interesting science activity stations to explore science concepts from color optics to motion, oscillation and pulleys.

MOSHINDEIRU

Super fun if you like learning and science. Together or only one it doesn't matter you'll still have fun.

Subodh Kotkar

Good for toddler and young kids... Let them understand science...

I.p Freely

Nice place for little kids (under 10) but nothing ever changes same stuff I seen 3 years ago

Kelsey East

This was a great experience for the whole family! The military discount was greatly appreciated. There were so many things to experiment with and learn from. My eight year old brother has sever adhd and some sensory issue but this layout provided him with the ability to go at his own pace! We paid about 7 dollars for parking about a quarter mile down the road so the walk wasn't bad.

Brian P

By far my favorite museum out here in Cleveland. So many hands on activities for all ages, you’ll lose track of time while your there, so plan accordingly. There’s food options on-site which is sometimes an issue with little ones, so don’t fret if you’ve forgotten some snacks. There’s an dome theatre with excellent educational and fun movies to entertain. And once your done with the museum, you still have the lakefront to go explore.

Mike

Great for elementary school kids. Not a very big exhibit area. The IMAX theater was the best part.

b.

Great for anyone who enjoys learning! A wonderful place to spend the day. Make sure you give yourself enough time to really experience the wonders this place has to show you.

Night Carrin

Very educational, mainly based for children. A little over priced. Still fun if your older.

Michael Hartman

A bit pricy for what it is, but I don't have kids. If you've been to one science center I think you've seen them all (3 to count, CLE, COSI, and Carnegie in PA). But don't let that fryer you if there is a special event going on. Great place for wedding photos (the harbor behind the science center is great too). As far as the wedding photos go, parking can be a logistical nightmare for vendors because parking out front is really limited, even for quick photos.

Melody Keegan

This place is so much fun! We checked out all of the exhibits, but the kids (and us)liked the third floor best! It's in a beautiful location right downtown on the lake. They have a cafeteria there, but the food prices were high. Prepare to pay up to $20 for parking, unless it's a game day, then it could be more. It's right next to First Energy Stadium.

Tina Marbury

Great place for all ages 1 to 101. It was wonderful watching the kids explore and learn. The staff is super special. they make the kids feel excited about learning

Ann Marie Jusek

My grandson and I had great fun.

Stephanie Ricketts

All the exhibits encourage all ages to get involved! Loved it

Edward kapsa

Beautiful hands on science center, with awesome views of lake Erie. Give yourself a good 2 hrs, maybe more with young children.

ashley gaines

So much fun! Plan for a full day. It takes that long to see it all. I'd bring your own lunch. Food is overpriced. Not very good. And takes more than 20 minutes to prepare chicken tenders.

Marty Zwifka

Very cool things to do here

Kacie Rae

This place was fun, the prices are reasonable and their gift shop is, for the most part, cheap

Jing Chen

Many fun interactive experiments to help kiddos and adults understand science principles. The NASA space program exhibit was very informative - didn’t know Ohio produced dozens of astronauts. Had a chance to play with Curious, the Mars Rover, too. Overall round and open design of the place makes it quite loud during busy hours. Would love to go back when less kids are around.

Rob Belin

Our son had an absolute blast here. I highly recommend it for anyone who has little ones interested in space or science. The only downside was getting him to leave after 3+ hours.

Terry Ferrier

The Great Lakes Science Center has something for everyone. Good for families because they have a lot of interactive activities that are great for kids. Good for adults who want to stimulate their mind also. And of course it's it's in a beautiful location.

Dragon Gaming

This place was awesome! They even had a group of reptiles there for display on the day i went, so they probably do things like this all the time!

karen wise

Children loved it. Hands on is great

Michael Jeffries

Lost the unique touch from when it first opened. The crowds now is another issue.

Ashley Painter

What a great way to introduce young children to science! I brought my 16 month old and he loved the polymer funhouse, heck, I had fun!

Patsy Estep

Rock n roll forever!

marco m

Cool place to experience hands on learning by visiting the many exhibits. Love the Omnimax dome.

Ryan Kleman

My family and I had a great time here with all the interactive exhibits. I will be returning in the future for sure.

Jerry Jacobs

The only interesting exhibit was the automobile play section.

PAUL THORNTON JR

Is it the rock and roll Hall of fame at least once in their lifetime.

Suzi Noble

This is a great museum. We went with family that had children ages 2 yrs- 10 yrs. Those ages are perfect for that center. We also toured the ship on site for a combo price of 21.95. Parking was 10.00 though so be prepared for that. We all thoroughly enjoyed our day. Hope you do too! If you have time also try visiting the rock & roll Hall of Fame next door. It's awesome as well. Especially for teenagers and adults.

Kathy Chen

this place made my kids love science (and me too)

Doug Holmes

What a great museum, full of fun and educational exhibits. Staff and volunteers even walk around and help with demonstrations and explain the science behind the exhibit.

Kasey Goodyear

So cool. I'm at a loss for words. Check it out!

Michelle Martin

Went there with my fiance and 2 young boys (4 and 20mo), and we had a blast! So much to do for the entire family, though there wasn't a lot for my 20mo to do. But we will definitely be back once he's a little older! Bummed the cafe wasn't open (at all on a friday) but we didn't let that ruin our day. We didn't go there for the food haha! Our favorite things were the shadow room, car racing, and the car you can work on! Such a blast

Jessica Ward

It was very clean and nice inside. The workers were friendly. The exhibits very fun, for little kids to adults. Although it is very pricey there for food or drink. So bring something. The theater is also very nice. I would suggest sitting in some of the highest seats in the back.

jack bowman

Had a great time with my niece (5 yrs old). Well worth a visit. Make sure to plan for at least a few hours.

joseph TITENOK

I had a blast at the Great Lakes Science Center! It was a fun and inspiring filled day— so much so I am actually going back to school to become an engineer. Wish me luck! Take your family there!

Bethany Sigworth

We received a yearly membership this past Christmas. What a fantastic gift. It's great to take my family and not feel obligated to see everything at one. We focus on one floor or set of activities each time we go.

xo Tatiana

As a homeschooling family, Great LAKES science center was one of our favorite resources! With new exhibits all the time and awesome science shows, the kids were hooked and I was equally as excited to go! There are floors and floors of fun cool, hands on exhibits and activities. To to me toon its located just s few blocks from the heart of downtown, and next to the Rock &Roll hall of fame.

K Fizzle

The science Center has always been awesome. I've been going since it opened. I've done an over night lock in while in school many years ago. I was just recently there for an after hours event. They always have interesting new things to do. It is more centered around children but you can have fun as an adult too.

Daniel Allen

Really fun spot and a must visit if in the Cleveland area. Mostly for kids but still plenty to keep adults entertained especially the barge and the John Glenn area and the large theater. Really enjoyed this stop on our visit to Cleveland

Alyson Cole

This was a spur of the moment trip. Drove 2 hours to get here. Overall we were satisfied with our visit. There's a lot of hands on activities which is always nice for children!

Talia Gerstein

My grandson loved the experience here. There are so many hands on experiments for kids! Fun for the parents and grandparents as well!

Carrie Rowland

GLSC is always a superb time! We take our school kiddos every year for field trip and they staff, exhibits and facility never fail to impress!

Doug York

It was a fantastic day with my son and his class. So much to see and do. Lots of hands on learning.

Robert Vano

Amazing museum with plenty of activities for all ages. NASA exhibit is always exciting and the shows at the theater plus the tour of the Mather freighter are always a nice bonus!

Anne MacDonald

Awesome Science center!!! Have a great time every time we go.Really clean and well maintained.

The emarled minecart tem

Very cool place to bring curious minds had a lot of fun food was pretty pricey but well worth it wasn't more happy with our trip here

Sam Marcum

We absolutely loved our visit and the kids did too. So many fun activities and exhibits for young and old. You could easily spend all day there and not get bored. It's also a great spot for a wedding reception or corporate event as the lobby overlooks the Lake Erie harbor.

Hassan Chavez

Awesome Science center!!! Exhibits are always in good repair. Great Science Academy has a great STEM program. Love the location and layout.Highly recommended

John3:16 Pitbull

7 year old, 36 year old mom, and a grandma all went together and all 3 generations had a really fun time. We all liked the interesting interactive exhibits, the place is loaded with a huge variety of them. The Lego room was a favorite with the 7 year old. But so many neat things to try, like clock your baseball pitch speed! There's something for everyone! Worth the money. It's close to other Downtown Cleveland attractions. And the views of Lake Erie are an added bonus!

Simone Clevelander

Wonderful time with the kids!! So educational and to offer free admission is a blessing to the community!!

Steelworker216

The expos they have are almost always really cool. Not a place for really young kids though (I would suggest at least age 5). Always take my kids at least once a year.

M. B. Vaisman

The science center here is Cleveland is wonderful. Very interactive and offers lots for all ages. As an adult, I really enjoyed the information birds next to each exhibit. The kids loved every floor. I never heard the children complain about being bored. The staff was friendly and kept the museum tidy. If you’re coming from a city that has a science centre, make sure you have membership from there (like Toronto). You can use it with this centre and save a lot.

Rachael Fuller

Fun for the whole family! We love the science center. The grossology exhibit was hilarious, informative, and well, gross! They also allow you to put your ticket purchase towards a membership, which we did. I can’t wait to make more regular visits!

Gower Haus

Extremely costly, extra $ to see a movie or tour the ship. But AWESOME for kids, could spend a couple days in there. Definitely geared towards elementary aged children, but there's plenty to keep the attention of older kids and adults. Touring the cargo ship was worth the extra money and probably the highlight of our trip. Check the hours before paying, its not open very late.

Amanda Scott

This place is great for kids and that's about it. My husband and I went not knowing it was for children. Only had access to the main floor. Very disappointing for the price we paid. Was a waste of money. Food cost was outrageous. Very misleading. Should be renamed "Children Center".

Justin Mills

The kids had a great time. Pretty unique experience for the area.

The Lord's child

Great place for kids get there early lot's to see and do

Mathieu Dugré

Really nice place to visit. I would recommend for various are range; you can has much fun as an adult as your kids will have.

James Brindley

Excellent, informative, and inexpensive. Loved all of the hands on exhibits.

Robert Eaglen Jr

Has something for all ages. My toddlers, 11 year old, my wife and I all had a good time. The kids play room was nice to let the kids loose to play and run around. Lots of fun science stuff to learn about. Things get changed around with new stuff every so often to entice locals to return.

Coby Johnson

The whole building is full of displays and movies. But if you have children the second floor is wonderful. There are many, many hands-on displays. My grandchildren have visited numerous times and still try all the hands-on. For the younger crowd, 6 and under, there is their own special area including the ball pit (see photo) with buckets they can fill with balls that travel up a line to dump into a larger container. When full the container dumps the balls fall back down on the kids. There is a suction pipe that blows the balls up to the container. The outside water tables add to the fun.

Oltjon Mema

Got a year membership for the kids and they both loved it. Plenty of stuff to do and see. Fun for both my wife and I, as well as the kiddos. Definitely recommend.

CS B

Fun for the whole family!! Check out the William Mather as well! Really cool. Lots of hands on things for kiddos at the science center

Dena Williams

This is a very interactive science center. Children, teens, adults and grandparents can all benefit by the visit. Starting on the second floor with the polymer room, an interactive exhibit of plastic balls that children can dump, shoot (they have a fixed air cannon aiming to a large dumpable basket above), dump into climbing pails, etc to water exhibit outside is something for almost any age. My grandkids are 5 but we could have made a day when they were 4 or even 3. From there the second floor is filled with learning opportunities to challange your four of five senses (taste not included). From watching lights in prism or waves on strings, to squeezing a ball for scents to clocking your fastball in pitching.

Lee Smoll

Great place for adults and kids. Well designed.

Carl Shivers

Fun for kids and adults. Some of the big displays were broken. So 3 stars.

Dan Jones

So many interactive exhibits, our grandson had us there o 3 and a half hours. Very science related displays that are interesting for adults, also. Definitely wort your time spent, children or not!

Evan Points At Him

Great place to bring the kids. Lots of hands on activities. Well worth the price of admission.

Lynnelle Mays

I love science museums. We visited here at weekend tourist. The Theater is great. The cars exhibit has lots to build and read about the future of cars. I am 100% team honeycomb tire!

Jolene Nickel

I guess I expected an experience the whole family (including adults) could enjoy. This museum should be renamed children's science and discovery center. My nephews enjoyed visiting exhibits as there were plenty of buttons to push, levers to push, and hands-on. Description, however, was lacking. The documentary movies featured in the theater were the only bonus for the adult visitor - for an additional $5.00 to the $16.00 entry fee!

Adam Moore

A fantastic science center. The Dome Theater was amazing. I remember going to a similar theater as a kid and it always stuck with me. Very awesome to see these are still around! I loved all the hands on exhibits. We bundled our tickets with the Rock Hall which has made for a great weekend.

Ziia !!!

I loved it. There's so much to learn in here and its fun. The mini cinema is cool too.

Sofia

The Great Lakes Science Center is a great place for younger kids. I expected activities that the entire family would enjoy. Although the science activities weren't meant for older kids the staff was very friendly!! The cafe had good food!

Samantha Alba

Really, really loved this place. Parking was fairly easy to find and you can pay when you buy your admission or with a kiosk at the end, but you need to pay before you leave the parking area. We mainly wanted to go for the NASA exhibit and Vroom. NASA was fun and had lots of activities both me and my 5 year old thoroughly enjoyed it. We did the Vroom last and it was a smaller area, but I assumed this exhibit is temporary. The car the kids could work on was freaking adorable and had activities for really little kids up through like 12-13. That is probably max the age range for that exhibit that would enjoy it. Young young kids would definitely dig it. Here is the thing that makes me want to come back: the demo floor. I didn't even see anything about it on the site and o could have spent like 3 more hours in there. My 5 year old loved it, I loved it, my 65 year old Mom loved it. Highly recommend and I will be coming back as well.

DAVID BRYANT

We particularly liked the NASA portion of the museum, with excellent exhibits including an actual space capsule. The exhibit seems to benefit from the connection of John Glenn, who is from Ohio. We also enjoyed being able to tour The Great Lakes commodity carrying ship, tied up at a pier outside the museum. That was unique!

Danny Gomez

My son really enjoyed the experience... He's 2... We had a blast... Thx you...

Sandra Ferguson

Beware of Summer camps payment policies. No matter what the reason, you are unable to get a refund if you have to cancel a child's enrollment. They will keep your money and offer you classes in the 'future'. I would stay away from camps with these policies since life is not always predictable and things happen. This place will keep your money and add more stress to your life if anything should happen.

Jeff Markel

Our family visited here during a recent trip to the area. This is a nice facility. The NASA Glenn displays were interesting and informative. The top floor had a wide variety of hands on science displays that are fun for all ages. There is a parking garage attached to the Center. I highly recommend visiting here.

Michael Wagner

Wish it was more free stuff to do I'm not cheap and I knw science isn't cheap wen u dig deep into it I'm just say ......over all tho it's a wonderful experience

Amber Davis

Exhibits are always is good repair. Best to visit early in the day to beat the crowds and chaos. Great Science Academy has a great STEM program which my daughter attends during the school year and it has kept her ahead in Science class at school.

Peggy Giammarco

Awesome place. Took granddaughter 10, So many things to do. If one place is busy, you can return in minutes as you do another test of some sort. Ages are covered, so, all can be amused.

MistyJadeYT

The exhibits are really cool and interesting and it really makes science come alive. I also love how interactive it is. I will definitely be coming back again.

Ciesta Key

More than enough for anyone interested in science and then some... Wonderful exhibits and plenty of hands on displays for children and adults alike.

Carrie Decker

Fun for the whole family, kids from 3 to 15! Lots of hands on experiments

Lina Ross

Great for kids and tourists. The theatre is a super fun experience. Big variety of stuff to do and look at. Good learning experience for everyone too.

John-Michael Tuosto

me and my partner had a great time, and the staff was very nice ★ it's been a while since i went to a science center, i always enjoy them.

Blanquita Soto

The place needs cleaned bad, like all the exhibits. Half the exhibits weren't functioning during our visit. But i love this place and learn so much!

Tammi Atkins

Not enough for adults and older children to do and the food is way over priced

Sharon Lisy

Will definitely return here, so much to see and do, wonderful day with my family making memories for my grandchildren

Ezra The Derpy Derp Melon

Amazing and captivating! There's not much else to say. The regular exhibits are great, the Makers pace activities are wondrous, and the temporary exhibits are astounding! Great place to bring kids, students, or anyone really! The Cafe is the cherry on top with its robotic version of froyo. This place never gets old.

David Pitrone

Always fun for the whole family. I truly enjoy watching the look on kids faces when they see something truly spectacular! Like the after image effect room. Or any of 100 different exhibits. I truly love their NASA exhibit, As it has models of the old apollo mission capsules! I couldn't recommend this place enough!

Esther Goodwin

It's a great experience especially for the kids to learn something and have fun

Bobbie Canton

I just felt there wasn't much there. The movies are good so I would recommend the dome theatre, but just felt like the center itself was just meh.

Dianney Lobo

Very informative and interesting especially for young children with a lot of interactive facilities for experiential learning

Cathie Mortimer

I love this place. Have a great time every time we go. Went with my grand daughter Kylee, Son Jesse, and daughter in law Kristy. It's a educational opportunity for you and your family. A lot of interesting and interactive things to do. It's truly fascinating.

Leaf Fael

Fantastic science center! Lots of hands-on activities teaching a wide range of concepts. Appreciate the opportunity to read instructions, observe and then read for further understanding (avoid misconceptions). Large portion of building dedicated to space exploration. Section for those 7 and younger. Automotive theme section. Small cafe. Unimpressive gift shop. Recommend looking into NARM or ASTC reciprocal option for free or reduced entry. Take hand sanitizer to curb germs!

whit J

This place is worth the stop they really have some cool things I highly recommend taking the time to visit.

Chaya Gross

The science center is a fun and informative trip for all ages to enjoy! The imax is also a blast every time! Highly recommend this place!

Jay Schexnider

Science center was great! Just fyi. This place is more for children than adults. I visited with the belief otherwise. Awkward. It is still a great place for the curious young mind!

Brian Stewart

We love this place! Great for kids of any age - there is literally something for everybody. Very engaging staff. This place is for curious minds! Get the season pass - totally worth it!

John Conway

My daughter loves it, so this review would go differently if she wrote it. The science center is an at, or below average experience. Is it worth going to? In my opinion it is, but once. I could not see attempting to go repeatedly. We had expierienced everything to offer and I was ready to leave well before the 3 hour mark. Do not let this dissuade you, you absolutely should try it out and see for yourself. Just because it is not my cup of tea does not mean you and yours will not love it.

Joe Davault

Kids loved the hands on exhibits.... obviously. Kids range from 11 to 2 and they all had a blast. Food is expensive there so I suggest eating before or after. Located right on the lake so we took the kids for a walk on the pier. Overall experience was great! Wish they had a planetarium.

Jaime Sheldon

Price is a little steep for the size but the staff is very friendly and the kids had fun.

Melanie James

The kids had a blast at the science center playing with all fun displays! The IMAX movie about the Great Barrier Reef was a good time too. The space exhibit was very interesting and lots to do for the kids! I'm several decades beyond the target age but still enjoyed my visit. Teens and younger would no doubt get more benefit from the interactive learning aids.

Adam Kniffen

Awesome kids area and experiments, our daughter had a great time running around. The exhibit space wasn't very large, but everything worked and taught something meaningful. Cafe was a let down, I'd recommend bringing your own lunch/snacks.

T D W

Attended here for free since we are members at another science museum. Great Lakes is a part of the ASTC Travel Passport Program which offers discounts for members of other science museum to visit museums nationwide. Smaller for sure compared to other science museum I have been to. However it is thoughtfully laid out with great interactive exhibits for all ages. Our daughter enjoyed the kids play area and climbing into the space capsule. I enjoyed the baseball fast pitch exhibit and the glider.

Warnik Odinson

Very fun for the kids and adults while teaching both the kids and adults as well. Really clean and well maintained, and the parking garage is well worth the money.

Barry Long

Fun and informative as always. My grandson amazes me through the exhibits as he learns even though his normal rule is no learning on the weekends.

Lutfar Rahman Lipon

It’s a amazing beautiful lakeside place for local people and the tourists.

Nichole Rolon

I haven't been here in years. I still learned new things while visiting. My kids had fun and learned some new things as well. Keep up the good work.

Megan Smiles

Spend your money at the children's museum. Run down and dirty exhibits on the third floor. Kids play area smelled of pee and a kid vomited in the ball pit. The area looks like it's never been cleaned! Many other parents complaining and staff was notified. A disappointing trip as I have fond memories of going here as a child. For what they charge, things need updated.

Kayla Remark

It looks like they are in the process of revamping. I'll be excited to see the process. All ton of exhibits on the top floor have been there since the early 2000s.

Adam Kindred

My five year old had a blast at this interactive museum. 3 hours wasn’t long enough for us to get through everything he wanted to do though, so check hours and plan accordingly.

Amber Valentine

Very hands on for people of all ages. Really enjoyed our visit.

Diana Hysek

Great place for children to have hands-on experience and learn while having fun. The new car exhibit so engaging. You can spend hours there.

LaCea Stewart-Roman

Beautiful science center. We took my 8 year old and he had a blast and learned so much here. We particularly loved the music and audio section. It was nice to experience hands on activities that kept my son engaged the whole day. I will definitely visit again if ever back in Cleveland.

Anthony Petrenko

Fantastic Place right on the lake with tons of stuff for kids to explore, learn, and of course play. Love the location and layout. Some exhibits could use some updating but overall good value. Highly recommended

Nice employees and well kept building along with great space stuff.

Nice place to spend the afternoon with the kids when it's too hot or cold outside or just as something to break the summer monotony. While it attempts to be educational, the exhibits feel more and more dated and it ends up feeling like a race to each station. See it before the kids get bored with it. I would love to see them rotate in some newer exhibits and get rid of the old and non-functional ones. Hoping for some improvements over the next year or so.
