Great Lakes Science Center Reviews

Cool exhibits and fun for the kids! they have an old steamboat you can go on. Great place to spend the afternoon.

We visited here and the whole family enjoyed this experience

Great Lakes Science Center always fascinating & educational & love the hands on exhibits! The NASA space exhibits are out of this world!

Kids had so much fun getting involved into many interactive activities, they didn't want to leave.

Visited here with my boyfriend and even though we're both 20, it was still fun. Definitely a more family/kid oriented place, but you can definitely still learn and experience a lot here.

2018 balloons dropping for 2018! Awesome celebration!

Exceptional staff, plenty of activities to captivate the attention of the young ones

We had a great family day! Lot's to keep the kid's amused and going.

I used to like great lakes science center as a kid, unfortunately visiting COSI in Columbus kind of made me realize how small ours was in Cleveland. It can be fun on a slow day, I went in the fall and had fun but my most recent visit we left in 10 min because it was so crowded. It hasn't really changed much in the past 15-20 years

Interesting place to spend some hours with kids. Some of the toys and devices need maintenance. Otherwise 5 star!

I love this place is so interesting. We saw the body exhibit. Very cool.

We loved exploring the science center, but we had a hard time telling our son it was time to go. He loved it so much. Three floors of exploring and discovering was more than my son could ever ask for. He had to try everything and especially loved the musical instruments including the harp. We love seeing our son get excited about science and the Great Lakes Science Center is an ideal place for him to expand his curiosity, desire and knowledge of science. We can't wait to go back.

Compared to the expectations of the guide and the web it was disappointing in my opinion for an adult ... suitable for children and teenagers given the many interactive scientific games ...

Insanely disappointing. This is hardly a museum. Try again, Cleveland.

Very fun! The food in the cafe was delicious, and the exhibits were interactive and entertaining for the kids and adults! We watched one of their "Stange Science" shows, and was very funny and educational. I especially enjoyed the music part of the exhibits.

It was a neat place. Not all of the exhibits worked though. Mostly kid friendly. The coolest part is the NASA Glenn exhibit.

Beautiful view of lake Erie and lots of great historical information!

The staff was extremely courteous very helpful and knowledgeable always willing to help in any way they could, but as far as the entrance price was simply just overpriced. There was a few exhibits that weren't even working and none of the employees really had a good reason why they weren't.

Lots of fun and got to make ice cream and there is also a movie theater.

So much fun! My grandkids love this place and never tire of going there. There is so much to do and I'm sure that us adults like it almost as much as the kids.

Worth the 2 1/2 hour drive to see Skylab 3's command module.

How about some interactive exhibits for a little older age group? Science isn't just for kids.

Extremely entertaining and educative!!! Needs a whole day to see the whole place. The demo was very lively and fun too!

Packed with good knowledge. Easily a great place to learn.

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

If you want to get away and spend the day doing something pretty cool and you love science this is the place to go

Always a fun time. I was there with my daughter and her 3 young boys. All 3 were intrigued by everything! They especially liked the hands-on stuff tht even the littlest of the guys could participate in.

There was lots of places to explore, and is a very popular tourist spot. Highly recommended

It was nice to see the lake from the building. Expensive if you want to see the exhibits. We do not live in the area. We were just visiting Cleveland.

Great place for the kids. Went for the body worlds exhibit

Great experience for kids 4 years and older to spend some time out during winter specially .

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

We were unimpressed with it. It was fine, but compared to others we have been to in other cities, it really was just so-so.

Fantastic place for kids and adults. Cafeteria does not have much choices so plan ahead.

So much fun! Will definitely go again. Too many activities to list everything!

Really great place But for the price it needs more exhibits

Nice museum with many interactive displays for kids to learn. However parts of the museum we're under renovation

A wonderful place to visit - you're never too old for science!

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.

Would recommend taking your kids here. If you're thinking of going yourself (as an adult), it's not really catered for adults

Great place to visit. GROSOLOGY was fun, kids loved floor skating.

Rude staff:
The maintenance guy and the cleaning crew were very rude.

Run down:
Maintenance guy was around, which isn't a good sign. Lots of the exhibits were not working or just plain broken.

Money making?:
If they aren't fixing anything, are they just banking on the revenues?

Not worth the money. They could be better if they worked on it). Go somewhere else. I have seen much better science museums.
