ACCESSIBILITY

The Economy Museum is dedicated to making the experience accessible to all audiences. Please see our measures and recommendations below to ensure you have an excellent time. We recommend calling in advance for any additional accommodations.

Parking

• The museum does not have visitor parking on the property. Please see the “Parking and Mass Transit” section above for other options.
• To drop off individuals with mobility restrictions, we recommend parking temporarily on Fourth Street or Broadway. From either street you can access the main entrance at One Federal Reserve Bank Plaza or the St. Charles Street group entrance.

Accessible Entrances

• Walk-Ins: A single-person, wheelchair-accessible elevator is available upon arrival at the plaza main entrance. When you arrive, please use the intercom button to request access. For groups with multiple wheelchair users, please call 48 hours in advance so we may arrange for you to enter from the St. Charles Street group entrance.
• Groups: All prescheduled groups larger than 15 will enter at the accessible St. Charles Street entrance and will be escorted from there to the museum. Use of this entrance must be booked in advance.
