Leaving the Cleveland Museum of Art front the main entrance, turn left and continue around Wade Oval to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. Alternately, you can wait at the entrance for the University Circle shuttle which comes by every 15 minutes.

The Cleveland Museum of Natural History is a treasure trove of everything to do with Northeast Ohio's plants, animals, stars, and early inhabitants. There are dinosaur bones, Native American archeological finds, fossils, and information on the area's flora and fauna.

The museum's Planetarium hosts several fascinating shows daily, featuring the stars in the current Cleveland sky as well as a talk on a astrological topic. It's fun for the whole family. The museum has a cafe, "Steggie's," which serves light snacks and beverages.
