This is a neat planetarium to learn about astrology. They have booklets with the constellation and a history of each one (what Native Americans believed them to symbolize) so you can point them out in the observatory and learn about each one. Their movie about stars was too scientific and a bit too boring for me, so I recommend skipping that portion. Otherwise, this is a great alternative to seeing the stars, since Columbus tends too have too many lights to see the real ones.

If you enjoy looking at vintage cars and walking through a mansion from yesterday in Cleveland, then the Western Reserve Historical Society is a must see.
This last year the WRHS was free during the summer months. They asked only for a donation! The admission fee is quite reasonable.
Cleveland Indians fans will enjoy the large neon Chief image in the gallery to the right as you enter. If you are into vintage architecture and furniture, then you must take the guided tours of a mansion that makes up part of the museum. You cannot go alone, so check the tour times before you check out the other parts of the museum.
The car exhibits include vintage Cleveland cars and examples of rare and usual cars made in Detroit and Indiana. They even have vintage French cars in one of the halls. Airplanes and commercial vehicles are part of the display.
There is so much in this grouping of halls, it is impossible to review all of it.
The museum also has an excellent gift store that you can shop at, even if you don't have time to view the exhibits.
Excellent use of your time! Bring your kids!

We are so fortunate to have the Cleveland Museum of Art in our city. It has on display some of the most amazing artworks from various famous artists. Although part of the building is now closed due to renovation and expansion, it is worth a trip to enjoy the rest of the space. The atmosphere is calm; there is plenty of parking (free on certain days) and the location is perfect.

The winters in cleveland are so long, that we have loved going to the Childrens museum. It gives me a place to get out of the house and allows the children to interact wtih other children, learn, have fun, and use up that extra energy. Make sure you buy a season pass...individual visits are quite pricey

The Historical Society is a fantastic place to step inside and take in all of the history they have there. I've spent many a day there culling the manuscripts, books, microfiche, genealogy films and more. The staff there will help you get started tracing your family and get you on your way. It's much easier to buy the membership so you can go as often as you'd like - and believe me, you'll like to go once you've been there.

This is really interesting to learn about prominent African Americans who changed our society, such as scientists and inventors, and the culture of Africa from the past to present. They featured masks and instruments in traditional celebrations. I loved learning about the inventions, too, from the gas mask to lightbulb filaments to electronic devices used in IBM Computers and the pacemaker.

This space is phenomenal for contemporary art and installments. They always have very cutting edge exhibits that tend to hit you in the gut first and make you think later. I saw an installment there YEARS ago that I still don't know why I was so drawn to. It's that sort of interesting and memorable work that makes SPACES work so well as a contemporary gallery space.

The Mather is docked downtown and we thought we'd take the children down to go inside.
Once inside you find that some of the stairs are not very wide but it's quite fascinating to see how and where they slept, and moved on the ship. You can also go up and 'steer' the ship if you'd like.
Doesn't take long to walk thru it and it's something your children will remember.

It's interesting to see how far cars and airplanes have progressed. They have the single-sized airplanes in bright colors that were designed decades ago - some looking very fragile. It was difficult to imagine a plane that size fighting winds or rains, or traveling over a long distance, and it makes you appreciate how far aircrafts have come along, and where they'll be going in the next 50 years!
