## About

Located inside the beautifully restored historic Stager-Beckwith mansion in MidTown Cleveland, the Children's Museum of Cleveland is custom-designed for purposeful, imaginative play for young children during the Thanksgiving break. The multi-story museum features interactive exhibits including Adventure City, a two-story climbing structure with a pretend grocery market, construction zone, and mechanic shop. Toddlers can safely explore Meadow, a tranquil sensory landscape featuring soft climbing mounds, peek-a-boo mirrors, and gentle light elements. In Wonder Lab, children experiment with bubbling water vortexes and pneumatic air tubes, while the Maker Space invites families to craft holiday greeting cards and Thanksgiving gratitude collages using recycled materials.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Elevators serve all three mansion floors; dedicated indoor stroller parking corrals are available inside the main entrance.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Private, comfortable nursing alcoves equipped with gliders, changing stations, and family-dedicated individual restrooms on each level.
• Age Suitability: Best suited for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and early elementary children up to age 8, alongside their adult caregivers.
• Sensory Tips: Meadow provides a quiet oasis for sensory-sensitive toddlers; museum exhibits feature soft carpeting and natural sunlight through bay windows.
