Fun For Families At The Great Lakes Science Center
When visiting
Cleveland with your family you'll find plenty of attractions to explore
during your visit. One of our favorite attractions is the Great Lakes
Science Center, located next door to the Rock n' Roll Hall Of Fame. Of all
the children's museums we've visited, the Great Lakes Science Center is one
of the most interesting we've visited. Every floor is filled with hands-on
activities to explore. Who knew Science could be so exciting?
We
learned about the weather, and got an inside glimpse at how the world around
us works. And as we all try to be more environmentally conscious, the Great
Lakes Science Center is leading the way with a 300 foot solar array canopy
at its entrance. The solar panels represent the Great Lakes Science Center's
second advanced energy initiative; the first was the museum's iconic wind
turbine. This is a great example of how we all can make a difference and
raise awareness regarding renewable energy. For families, it is a great
opportunity to discuss the benefits of alternative energy, and learn more
about what each of us can to at home.
Of course, then there's more
fun stuff like the new summer schedule at the Great Lakes Science Center’s
Cleveland Clinic OMNIMAX® Theater. Among the thrilling films presented at
the OMNIMAX® Theater are Superman Returns and Dinosaurs Alive!, which is a
fascinating adventure of science and discovery that offers a unique look at
dinosaurs. Watching a movie at the OMNIMAX® Theater becomes an adventure its
self because you feel like you're part of the action.
