  The Cleveland Museum of Natural History is an excellent museum. Highly educational and interactive, folks of all ages can learn about the past in a fun way. The museum has an outdoor area that is comparable to a small zoo. It's set up quite nicely and full of various animals and plants. There are multiple sections to this museum, so there's an area for everyone. Animal lovers, space enthusiasts, and amateur geologists will have a great time.

  I love this museum and it's hard to explain exactly why. The whole thing is amazingly done. The outdoor area with the rescued animals is absolutely amazing. The basement is drastically underrated. Everything is great about it. The shows are suggested as well.
