From dinosaurs and exotic cultures, to rare diamonds and distant planets, The Cleveland Museum of Natural History provides a fun and exciting environment for adults and children to explore the Earth and beyond.

Learn about space and astronomy in the state-of-the art Shafran Planetarium. Be dazzled by fabulous gems and jewels in the Wade Gallery. Meet "Lucy," one of humanity’s earliest ancestors; “Happy,” a 150-million-year-old plant-eating dinosaur; Triceratops, a 21-foot-long horned dinosaur; and a massive armored fish.

Try hands-on activities in the Smead Discovery Center.

And see native Ohio animals and plants in the 2.2-acre Perkins Wildlife Center & Woods Garden.
