Power Outage Affects Center

For the second day in a row, the power outage affecting so many of our neighbors in Northeast Ohio continues to impact Lake Erie Nature & Science Center. We are at half power, with limited lighting, etc. that allows us to care for our animals. However, our phone system is down and so is the sewage system that would allow us to operate toilets, etc. For that reason, we were forced to close the Center and to cancel classes on Monday and Tuesday ... just as you and your little ones were looking forward to starting a new year of preschool classes!
Because our phones are down and we were not yet registered with the television stations for the upcoming winter cancellation season, our website is the key tool we have left to keep you updated on our power status. We are able to access our Website using a laptop and WiFi Internet connection at our Bay Village neighbor, Mojo's. Please know that the Center is committed to reopening as soon as full power is restored. We are making separate decisions to cancel classes in the a.m. and p.m., so even if morning classes are canceled, check the orange Homepage Alert Box at midday if you are an afternoon student.
We thank you for your patience, we hope you and your family are safe and we look forward to welcoming you back to the Center soon!
