Lake Erie Nature & Science Center - Park in Bay Village - 28728 Wolf Rd, USA

This center is one of the best I've ever been to in NE Ohio. It's a great place for kids of all ages. There are many different animals inside plus a number of awesome animals (mostly birds) outside. Staff is helpful & friendly. The entire center is clean & well designed. It's a must see if you're near Huntington reservation. Also be sure to check out the trail behind the center & keep your eyes peeled for some animals in the woods. There are lots of them to spot!

Wonderful experience at a toddler birthday party. Clean, modern facility with puzzles, birds, fish, snakes. Both indoors and out. The planetarium show was both entertaining and on-point for toddlers. We had a great morning exploring!

I visit this location very often. I love how they rehabilitate the animals and keep those who may never be released back to the wild. Very educational and lots to learn. Description cards with valuable information is everywhere. They hold a lot of events that will educate you and your children. Love the small trails. The bunny loop trail is my favorite, they hold outdoor activities on the platform. You can also donate while you are there, or you could stop at the gift shop to remember your day. Great place to take photos and create memories. Very safe as well, police and fire station is right next door.

I took my granddaughters to the Wonders of Wild Life Program. The instructor (Anna) was wonderful. She was so good and patient with all the children (and it was a large group). The program was very interactive and she really kept the children’s interest.

My three kids and I absolutely love this place! Not only are there awesome birds, sweet amphibians and reptiles, an operational beehive, cool fish, classes offered, but on top of all of that they have a planetarium! Plus, kids (and maybe adults) can take classes there and if you find an injured animal you can bring it there and they will help rehabilitate it!! This place is so awesome!!

This place is really cool for a free destination. They have a nice selection of local animals in and around Ohio, as well as fish that call Lake Erie home. It's a great place to teach kids about the Great Lakes. While visiting we were lucky enough to have volunteers out with the snakes, allowing visitors the opportunity to interact with them and ask questions. I am big for facilities that have engagement from employees and volunteers, it makes for a more enjoyable experience. In short if you live in North East Ohio check it out. It is not a whole day designation, but a few hours.

Love it here! The animals ate so sweet, it's great free option of something to do with kids. We also did the Toddler planetarium show and my little guy loved it! The girl who runs it knows exactly what to do to make sure the kids don't get scared and stay entertained. And it's only $4

Fun facility with lots to see and even occasional events. Dozens of animals that are cool for kids and adults alike, and lots of little facts and exhibits along the walls. I brought a group of 5 - 7 year olds for their Easter egg hunt and it was a great taste of what the museum has to offer. My favorite parts are the outdoor animals and walking trails. It's small and once you've gone about 5 times you've seen it all, but it's a super easy and fun way to entertain a family for a day!
