Lake Erie Nature and Science Center Spring Break Events

Lake Erie Nature and Science Center, in Bay Village, offers a special schedule of planetarium activities next week to coincide with Spring Break.  I’m thinking of taking the toddler to one of the Twinkle Tots star shows, the show is being offered daily next week at 11am.  I’ve been wanting to take him, but the usual weekly one [...]

My options are:
