Great Lakes Science Center, Cleveland

SO happy to have this as a local resource. My family spends many happy hours here. Also a favorite icky-weather hang-out with our friends thanks to being Family MAX members. The staff are always wonderful & welcoming. Everyone at every level is also very responsive to any disability issues I point out & do their best to remedy the situation promptly. Speaking of accessibility, there are handicap parking spaces in the underground lot but getting around the pillars in a wheelchair is very difficult. As a wheelchair user I always park in one of the 3 marked handicap spaces in the driveway in front of the building instead. When all of those have been taken already, management has granted permission to park in the other marked spaces there that are for other purposes. They are aware of the wheelchair challenges in the underground lot. Underground lot is great for those using canes & walkers though so you don't get rained on & the underground lot is not expensive, take your parking stub in to the membership desk to be validated as a museum visitor for a discount.

Great interactive exhibits, delightful docents. My sole negative is related to rowdy guests, not the museum itself. The "Science of Rock and Roll" exhibit was really cool. I enjoyed watching children explore the instruments. A great day visit, and within an easy walk from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
