The activities were fun and engaging. We arrived at 3 pm on a Friday and had plenty of room to explore. My 2 yr. old son was able to toich, climb and expierment along side school age children. After 2 hours we had to leave but still had not seen everything. Definayely a fun family activity to do.
I was considering getting a membership before visiting but after going realized how little there was to see. It's fun for the kids but definitely not somewhere to go multiple times
Great place to bring the kids. Lots of hands on activities. Well worth the price of admission.
Awesome experience for all of our kids. Very hands-on, open areas to explore, lots of cool stuff. Parking is expensive, but entry was a deal with group rate. Take the lead and get a membership, only a little more, overall.
Had a great time with the family. Many different and fun displays. The hands on projects were enjoyable for children and adults both.
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!
It s a amazing beautiful lakeside place for local people and the tourists.
This place is awesome. Learned a lot here. Always keep coming back.
Very cool place to explore and learn about various aspects of modern science.
The Science Center, and the NASA center. and Omnimax are good to see with lots of interactive exhibits as well as places to eat with great views outside!
The Steamship William G. Mather is a separate admission but is well worth the extra dollars on a combined ticket.
Great place to take the kids kids love to come here. As a kid I love coming two science Fairs and Exhibits
Is it the rock and roll Hall of fame at least once in their lifetime.
Great spaces for ages 2-100. Interactive exhibits with great explanations.
Great place for kids to learn a little science and get them to like it.
Awesome place! I ve been to the Great Lakes science center many times and I can say for sure it s great.
Pros:
-exhibits are very cool
-great place for family and relatively cheap
-lots to do, makes for more than one day
Cons:
-food there is expensive so pack a lunch
-Too much fun
Their programs are great. They kept my grandchilds interest and us adults too!
We went for the Star Spangled program .
Best value for the money.
Will go again next year.
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.
Loved this museum and exhibits. Interactive offerings for kids and adults. Must spend more time here on our next visit.
Awesome experience everytime. Check out the IMAX theater. Also a beautiful view of the lake.
Great for young children. Many interactive exhibits.
Walk back in time threw an ore boat. See a 45 minute movie $5. At the Omni-Theater. Movie changes. Wonderful gift shop. Buy a space suit. Most highly recommended for young children. Next to Rock & Roll Museum.
Fun for the children just wish it offered more a book or something for them to take home all kids can't afford things just a reminder they had fun and was there
Love this place not only is it educational but it's fun for the entire family. They also offer some great educational programs which my son attended. He learned a lot and he enjoyed their science academy program over the years.
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.
I loved it. There's so much to learn in here and its fun. The mini cinema is cool too.
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.
I went here with my son and daughter in law and my 3 grandchildren, ages 8, 5 and 3. There was something for everyone. We saw the film The National Parks in the Dome Theater, we saw the exhibits on the third floor, and we saw Grossology on the first floor. We were there for three and a half hours and there was still a lot we didn't get to see. We also got to make rockets and try them out and make shoes out of duct tape. All in all, it was a fun experience and since I bought a membership 4 my son's family, they will be able to enjoy it many times this year.
One of Cleveland's treasured places for family fun. Lots of hands on exhibits to play with.
Great science. Great movies. But still need to clean the headrests. Yuck!
The Great Lakes Science Center is a unique venue you can enjoy the day with interactive exhibits that engage both young and old, the historic Steamship William G. Mather (open during Spring/Summer), and the John Glenn NASA visitor center . And make sure to stop at the DOME Theater and watch an amazing documentary on the new three laser projection system that brings you right into the film.
The Great Lakes Science center is an amazing experience for people from all walks of life. A definite must-see if you're visiting Cleveland.
Love the park, great place to walk and spend time with the family, plus you're on the water.
What a great place. Our grandchildren were fascinated. We had a hard time rounding them t o eat lunch. This is a place you can take them multiple times.
This was a swell time. The inside is very neat and there's lots to do, and the view outside is gorgeous.
Great place to take kids. Lots of activities. Must watch a movie at the dome theatre it's an amazing experience.
We got a membership this year and it's been great for a family of 4 . The parking garage being attached is awesome the membership with unlimited movies is great too . Only negative from our visit is the doors do not open by button so it wasn't as easy taking the stroller in and out of the bathroom etc with two kids but it was still doable just cramped and a bit of a hassle.
Our kids loved it, especially the duct tape exhibit.
Lots to choose from and lots to do. Fun for everyone.
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!
What a fabulous place!! So many interesting and interactive things to see and do. Great for children and adults. I wish they made science this interesting way back, when I went to school.
This place used to be great but after the first one or two visits it get a kind of boring. They never seem to update much of anything. The exact same everything that was there when I was kid. Not a huge fan of the park I g structure. The kids area is nice but there have been times we have had to wait an hour or more to get into it. Has the tendency to become very over crowded. Decent area to eat if you bring your own food which I recommend. Their food is underwhelming and expensive. They need to section things off a little better. We once got turned around and lost and ended up in the school part of the building. As a mother that made me nervous. I would not be happy knowing strangers could just wander in and out of the same area students are. No one even noticed or said anything. Does not seem very safe or secure.
Fun place with a ton of hands on things for kids to engage in.
A lot of interactive exhibits that appeal to both young and older!
Very very unorganized. Nothing told you what was there. Waste of time. Gift shop was way overpriced. Some of the stuff didn't even work. Terrible experience. Lesson learned: never go to a science museum in Ohio.
The new tapescape exhibit is super fun for kids, along with the tried and true polymer room (which has recently had a bit of a facelift).
Bit dirty, old technology and equipment, children's area had a lot of non-functional games, food was overpriced and not great. Pay parking
Perfect for young and old. The moonstone was fascinated. The best thing to do was measuring the speed of the baseball
Brought my granddaughter. Very fun and educational. Lots of exhibits with appropriate level explanations. Great place to spend a few hours in the afternoon
Good place for kids. Lots of hands on learning experience. Not as much for adults.
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.
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!
