The ARTECHOUSE Experience

TICKETS

All visitors ages 4 and up need a ticket to enter the space. 

We strongly recommend purchasing tickets online ahead of time, as this is the only way to guarantee entry for your desired day and time, as well as to have a contactless check-in. 

A limited number of full-price tickets may be available at the door but they are dependent on capacity fluctuations and cannot be guaranteed.

We offer special pricing for students, seniors, military and first responders and sometimes offer special pricing for local residents. Please bring your ID or other documentation to confirm your status as a member of one of these groups at check-in.

All ticket sales are final and non-refundable. Tickets are non-transferable, non-exchangeable and absolutely cannot be resold. If you are gifting the ticket or purchasing for someone else, please use our new “Gift a Visit” option at checkout or email the Box Office at nyc@artechouse.com with details of the change. Changes of this nature can only be made by the cardholder.

Groups of 10 or more save! Click here for more information. 

ENTRY & LATE ARRIVALS

Please arrive a few minutes prior to the start of the session for which you purchased ticket(s). Note that your ticket is only valid for the date and time purchased. If you are running late for your session, please email nyc@artechouse.com. For group sales reservations arriving late, please contact lategroup@artechouse.com.

One member of your party must have a valid photo ID that matches the name on the tickets being used by your party and the name on the credit card used to purchase them. You cannot bring another person’s photo ID or photocopy. Please make any name changes in advance with the Box Office directly by emailing nyc@artechouse.com.

Tickets are purchased for individual hour-long sessions. When space allows, visitors are welcome to remain with us past their hour-long session. ARTECHOUSE reserves the right to enforce the one-hour timeframe when necessary, in situations including but not limited to at-capacity sessions, transition sessions and private sessions.

To protect our technology on-site, we do not allow any outside food or beverages, including gum, inside the art space. Please dispose of any prior to your visit. Bottled water is permitted only in non-exhibit areas. When our XR Bar is operating, please remain in the bar area, no beverages are permitted on the main exhibit floor.

SMOKING POLICY

ARTECHOUSE is a smoke-free art space, including e-cigarettes and vaporizers. Smoking is prohibited on the premises, while inside the confines of the building or within 25 feet of the entrance.

PERSONAL CONDUCT

Offensive, abusive or threatening behavior or conduct, whether written, verbal or physical, will not be tolerated. Behavior towards guests or staff that creates an intimidating, hostile, or unsafe environment is strictly prohibited. No visitor shall carry firearms, other dangerous or deadly weapons, or explosives, either openly or concealed on the premises. The prohibition on firearms applies to all visitors, including those with firearm permits. We are committed to providing an exceptional experience for all our visitors. Please observe our guidelines and refrain from disruptive or unruly behavior. Visitors not observing guidelines will be asked to leave the premises immediately.​

No running, no poking and no touching of the walls and hardware. We are excited to welcome kids of all ages to experience ARTECHOUSE; however, we request higher and very hands-on supervision from parents/adults accompanying their children. Though most of our installations are very interactive, not all installations are meant to be touched, but rather moved and interacted with from a distance. They can be more fragile than they seem.​
