Admissions & Ticketing
Timed ticketing is not required to visit ECHO. We are open 10 am – 5 pm, seven days a week. You are welcome to continue to purchase tickets online, but you can also do so when arriving at ECHO.
Effective Friday, March 25, masks are optional and are no longer required inside the museum. We support those guests who prefer to wear masks for extra protection.
Photo Policy
ECHO staff often take photographs of visitors to use for marketing or promotional purposes. If you do not wish to have your picture taken, please inform our front desk staff or the staff photographer at that time.
ECHO encourages all visitors to take casual photographs of the museum for personal use unless otherwise noted by staff or signage. Please tag us on social media. All commercial photography and videography is prohibited unless arranged in advance with the Development and Communications Department. Thank you.
