A Visit to Cleveland's Great Lakes Science Center

By Sandy Mitchell, About.com Guide

Adjacent to the Great Lakes Science Center is the Cleveland Clinic OMNIMAX Theater. This state-of-the-art OMNIMAX theater lets visitors explore the Serengeti in Africa, take a spin on a NASCAR track, or see the wonders of Ancient Greece, among other things, without ever leaving the theater. The surround sound, multi-screen facility engrosses the viewer as it teaches about geography, the environment, and even the human body. The screen is 79-foot high and the theater seats 320 persons.

The OMNIMAX theater carries a separate admission fee. Packages are available that include both the Great Lakes Science Center and the OMNIMAX theater.
