Regular admission to the Children's Museum of Cleveland is $7 per person for adults and children. Infants 11 months and younger are always free. Parking is also free. The museum features several permanent exhibits for children, and a featured exhibit.
The current featured exhibit is SANDasaurus. In this exhibit children are transformed into miniature paleontologists with a backpack and digging tools to search for fossils and clues of dinosaur life at the Dig Site, which features 60 tons of sand. Other features of this exhibit include:
-The Paleo Lab, which teaches children about the different tools that paleontologists use.
-The Dino Dress Up station, where children can put on a dinosaur costume and play with their friends.
-The Base Camp, a campsite where children can experience a day in the life of a paleontologist.
SANDasaurus also features a Dino playground, and a sand sculpture created by one of the top sand artists in the United States.
