Great Lakes Science Center

Description:

• More than 400 hands-on exhibits let kids and adults build their brain power. Daily live demonstrations are offered at the museum, which includes a 3,000-square-foot interactive Great Lakes Environment and new exhibits on solar energy. The six-story Cleveland Clinic OMNIMAX Theater shows larger-than-life features. The 1925 freight steamship William G. Mather, which was previously a separate tourist attraction, is now under the GLSC umbrella. It's a fully restored former iron-carrying cargo ship and floating maritime museum on Lake Erie.
