Great Lakes Science Center Reviews

One of the most beautiful science museums I went with my son and we all benefited from it is very fun for space science

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.

The Science center staff were wonderful with our 3 and 4 year old students...very age appropriate, flexible, and child centered.

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!

The science center was OK. It could use some improvements. The food court food was terrible and over priced. I may visit the science center again but will definitely not buy food from the food court again.

Do much fun.

Omnimax!!?!!

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.

Lots of hands on activities! Loved it. The food at the cafe is high priced and not that good. My fries were soggy. Aside from that it was awesome

One of our favorite places! My kids want to come back constantly. The staff is very nice and we love to go out on the Mather (the old cargo ship). The Mather has a museum teaching all about the Great Lakes which is very informative and interactive. The science center itself has tons of interactive and fun stuff for the kids to make and do. The Nasa sections are great, they teach so much about space exploration and life in the international space station, timelines of space exploration and more. It is worth it to buy a membership for the year. It pays for itself after two visits and is a great rainy day activity! Since we joined a month ago my kids have already met an Olympic Gold medalist, and an astronaut at special events for members.

Very interactive for various ages. I enjoyed it as an adult and so did my 50yo mom! Of course my 6 and 4 yo had a good time too.

Always fun and a lot of and
Interacting gadgets and gizmos to keep the whole family busy.

Really great experience. They always have a new features exhibit. The science shows are wonderful. My son really enjoys it

Had a wonderful time with my son and his classmates #fieldtrip

My kids love it here, they recently added an area where the kids can make their own projects. Duck tape shoes, mini parachutes, paper airplanes, etc. that is our favorite part. We also love the educational movies in the dome. Yearly membership is a deal

Not only is it fun for kids it is even fun for adults. Had a great day here

Very nice place a little pricey but is worth it please check it out!

Great science museum. Many attractions and exhibits for kids and adults. I enjoyed the space exhibit as well as the Legoland exhibits.

Love this place. Always been exhibits and Omnimax is always great

Very enjoyable. There is plenty to do, especially if you have children with you. The range of scientific topics is also pretty good.

Very cool place to learn about things and how they work!

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

Always a blast, the kids ask to come here without any prompting from me or my wife

Heard it was really great but we never actually got to go because their hours were wrong online. Their hours are actually just terrible.

Went with a group of adults, had a great time. If parents provided more oversight, the kids would learn more and more activity sights/opportunities would be working.

Had fun, the hands on exhibits are neat. definitely experience the IMAX theatre.

Really neat experience. Tons of hands on things to try.

About a quarter of the interactive experiments are broken.

This is a wonderful place for children everything is very hands on and clean.

I took my class on a field trip today. The scholars were coding. They had an Awesome time. This program is truly one of the better ones offered at the center.

I was disappointed that they now charge for everything

This is a hands-on museum. There are lots ofsmall physic's experiments that you can conduct by yourself. All of it is very entertaining. Especially if you are with kids, they are going to love it.

My kiddos loved the Science center. They didn't want to leave.

One of the gems of Cleveland. I take my son at least once s month. It's very educational plus some hands on opportunities to keep the young ones interested.

Great place to take the kids and then go next door and rock out

Super cool museum to check out. Likely aimed more at a younger audience -- those with kids. The IMAX dome theater is particularly mesmerizing. Watching a movie up there is a fully immersive experience. Walking out of the theater, one must readjust to walking in their own body.

Fun for all ages! For a limited time they have Tapescape!!! A huge playscape made all from duct tape. You will love it! You have to keep kids close by because it is huge! But there is a lot of hands on things! Like make your own rocket, fly a space ship, and control a space bot!

Cool for kids! As for adults, we enjoyed riding the scooters downtown Cleveland that we found out back of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next door.

Such a fun place for Adults as well as kids. I wish I had more time to look around. I spent 3 hours and could have stayed a few more.

Awesome awesome place with tons of hands on exhibits for kids of all ages to enjoy. Be prepared, the food is expensive but it was GOOD. This was our first visit and won't be our last!

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.

It's the perfect place to go with the kids. They will learn while they are playing with the stuff.

The combination of the museum, ship, and Imax movie were awesome! All of the employees were knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time!

Place have change since theast time I was here! More things to look at!

Always a great place. You see more every time you go. The kids can't get enough.

A great place to explore and learn..either alone or as a family.

We took our schoolchildren here today, grades K through 10 and they loved it.

It was a fun day with the family but they need to change some things. Its been the same for several years. The movie are awesome tho!

Very interactive very informative. Definitely a destination for the whole family.

I think a great idea would to have, hand sanitizer posted all around. It has to be a breeding ground for germs.

What a wonderful place to visit! My son had a blast and learned a few things! A large diversity of exhibits, so there was plenty for everyone. Sadly, several of the displays were not functioning, which left us wanting...

Wonderful place for families! Educational! Food court has a great selection of healthy food also and not really expensive! Impressive that the Handicap parking was right outside the front doors!

It's worth checking out. Kids enjoy it too. DON'T EAT AT THEIR CAFETERIA!

Always an absolute blast, my @ year old has loved it her entire life. Tons of hands on activities

Terrific spot to take a date or your children. Good selection of IMAX shows.

We absolutely love it here. We recently purchased a membership and we have gone twice within 4 days! My children have learned so much in just the 2 times that we have been here so far. They get to play with everything! We cannot wait for warmer weather to enjoy the outdoor play area and the ship.

great place to take your family and explore all possibilities.

Parking has a fee but there's a lot of space by the docks. Definitely touring here next summer!

Great for family. Adventure, play, educational. Got kids very busy

Great time for the kids, & plenty of reading spots for the grandparents. Overall a great family outing choice.

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.

Staff was very nice
This place is wonderful
