Glen Echo Park brings arts programs and cultural activity into the buildings and grounds of a former amusement park.
Studios, performances and the historic carousel give the site a distinct character, with different parts of the park offering different reasons to visit.
Check the current calendar and visiting guidance before planning around a performance, class or carousel ride. These activities have their own schedules and tickets even when the grounds are available. The photograph shows the illuminated historic entrance sign, rather than a promise of evening access or amusement rides operating every day.
