    About

    The Great Lakes Science Center is a hands-on science museum on the Cleveland lakefront. Its general admission covers all exhibits and demonstrations and the NASA Glenn Visitor Center, so there is no separate entry for NASA. Sunday mornings are set aside as sensory-friendly hours, and extra-cost add-ons include a dome theater, a Titanic artifact exhibition and the Steamship William G. Mather, which is closed for the season from November.
