Through more than 100 interactive exhibits; 70 species of fish, reptiles, and amphibians; major changing exhibits; a 2,500-square foot early learning interactive space; ECHO encourages visitors to view the natural environment as part of their neighborhood and to explore, learn about, and consider opportunities for stewardship. This work is delivered by a dedicated team of 27 staff, 175 volunteers and interns who serve more than 16,000 volunteer hours per year, and more than 45 community partners. ECHO is home to a consortium of organizations working for public and academic engagement in science: the Lake Champlain Basin Program; the University of Vermont's Rubenstein Ecosystem Science Laboratory and research vessel; US Sea Grant Watershed Alliance; and the Lake Champlain Navy Memorial located in Hoehl Park.

ECHO is available for rent for special corporate or private parties, large and small. Open every day, except Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Established in 2003. ECHO is an acronym for Ecology, Culture, History and Opportunity for stewardship of the Lake Champlain Basin. ECHO was formed from the original Lake Champlain Basin Science Center. There was a concerted to reconnect people to the value of caring about Lake Champlain in the 1990. The vision of several local people and political leaders combined their energy and effort to pull several partners together to create ECHO, Leahy Center for Lake Champlain. The Leahy Center campus is home to ECHO, the Lake Champlain Basin Resource Room, the University of Vermont Rubenstein Laboratory and the Naval Memorial, "The Lone Sailor".
