Discovery Starts Here




Congratulations to the Museum's Education team for being
named one of CILC's 2022-2023 Pinnacle Award Winners!

 

The Cleveland Museum of Natural History invites educators and their students to explore science, nature, and human health up close and in person. Our engaging and hands-on STEM programs are unparalleled in academic excellence. Our programs serve all students, of all grade levels and abilities.

A cornerstone of the Museum’s mission is science education. The discoveries we make every day enrich and enhance our educational programs for learners of all ages. Our excellent team of educators forge connections between curious minds and science and nature. We offer fun and engaging programs at the Museum, through outreach into schools and the community and around the globe through our virtual field trips and learning experiences.

Whether you are seeking engaging, educational experiences for your toddler, curriculum-based programs for your class, or engaging educational experiences for yourself—we are your resource for education in the natural sciences.

Connect your classroom with the natural sciences! We deliver dynamic, curriculum-based School Programs in three ways: at the museum, at your school, and via virtual programming. 


 

Inspire is a partnership between the Museum and the Cleveland Metropolitan School District that brings every second-grade student to the Museum for a full day of science education.  

 
 

Plan a trip to the largest coastal wetland in Northeast Ohio, Mentor Marsh. Explorations offered year-round.



 

Our summer camps are the perfect place for your child to discover something new or to continue exploring their passion for science and nature. Check back for information about our 2025 summer experiences!
