Lake Erie Nature & Science Center (LENSC) was established in 1945 in Bay Village, Ohio and has inspired the community to appreciate and be responsible for our natural world. A unique combination of resources can be found only at LENSC:

  • Live animal exhibits
  • Wildlife rehabilitation services
  • A public-access planetarium
  • Nature-based preschool and animal program for all ages

LENSC is one of the region’s most affordable and accessible destinations to learn about the environment. It offers free general admission and free wildlife rehabilitation services to more than 10,000 visitors annually. LENSC is committed to providing accessible nature education for people of all ages and help for native wildlife.

“We look forward to completing our Wildlife Gardens Education and Renovation Project in 2025, which will transform the outdoor Wildlife Gardens to give visitors better visibility of the Center’s resident animals and wildlife rehabilitation efforts. At $1,900,000, it will be the largest capital investment in our free offerings for the public,” said Morgan Haines, marketing and development coordinator for LENSC.

Yardi’s generous support is instrumental in helping LENSC provide free general admission to indoor and outdoor exhibits, nature-based programs for all ages, and wildlife rehabilitation services at no charge to the public seven days a week.

Thousands of visitors

Both humans and animals love and benefit from Lake Erie Nature & Science Center. In 2023, LENSC served more than 100,000 visitors through free general admission and admitted more than 1,800 animals into its rehabilitation facility.

“Our enduring mission goals are to educate and inspire people of all ages about our Earth, our relationship to it, and how that relationship is shaping our quality of life and future,” explained Haines.
