Owls & Howls

Join us Saturday, October 25 & Sunday, October 26 for a howling good time at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History!

All activities are included with general admission. Children in costume ages 12 and under receive free admission during Owls & Howls. To redeem this offer, please purchase your tickets in person at the Museum. Children dressed in costume will also receive a special trick-or-treat item.
