About Great Lakes Science Center

The Great Lakes Science Center is one of the nation's leading science and technology centers, and offers a TON of hands-on fun for those curious, experimental and inquisitive kids! All of the exhibits feature something unique and different for the kids to learn, each aiding in their development too!

The Cleveland Creates Zone introduces kids to the design and engineering process through STEM. It's DIY with a twist!

Then you have the Biomedtech zone, allowing kids to enter the fascinating world of biomedical technology and engineering! Through interactive exhibits, videos and educational displays kids can learn all about stem cells, genomics and even prosthetics!

Or perhaps it's the Out Of The Ordinary exhibit that excites kids! Kids can uncover how a wind turbine works, and even what happens to Lake Erie during an algal bloom. 

For those little ones there is even an exhibit JUST for those under 7 years old, so they can enjoy age appropriate science experiments away from the bigger kids. 

The Great Lakes Science Center is also home to NASA Glenn Visitor Center where kids can have an awesome space experience complete with galleries, interactive exhibits, amazing NASA media and fascinating artifacts!

Don't miss a visit to the seasonally open Steamship William G. Mather. 

A fascinating and science-tastic experience in Cleveland where learning IS fun!
