The Children’s Museum of Cleveland’s Dads Count Program provides Cuyahoga County fathers and father figures a venue to interact with their children in activities based around the topics in which fathers are especially effective role models. Some events/classes have interactive themes that promote educational achievement through activities involving math, science, literacy, and problem solving. Other events/classes have interactive themes that promote physical activity, health, and safety.
Eligible families can visit the Museum for FREE through the Dads Count program any time within the monthly date range. To access free admission, visit the Museum with a male caregiver on a Dads Count date and mention Dads Count at check-in. Proof of Cuyahoga County residency must be provided.
Updates on the monthly Dads Count dates will be announced via the museum’s newsletter.
