The White House only schedules tours through Congressional Offices. Our office strongly suggests submitting your request three months, or 90 days, prior to the desired tour dates. Submitting your request three months in advance allows our office to process requests at the earliest possible time. Please note that the White House does not accept requests made less than one month, or 21 days, prior to the requested tour dates. Getting approval for White House tour requests is often difficult because the White House is only available for tours 12-15 hours per week and receives tens of thousands of requests for tours each week. Submitting a request less than three months in advance greatly decreases the chance for your request to be approved. The White House currently offers tours Tuesday to Saturday, 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM.

This state-of-the-art facility offers a wonderful introduction to the U.S. Capitol and the Legislative Branch. Tours of the Capitol are available Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

*Note: The Supreme Court remains CLOSED to public tours.
The Supreme Court building is majestic in size and rich in ornamentation. It serves as both home to the Court and the symbol of its importance as a coequal, independent branch of our government. Tours of the Supreme Court introduce visitors of all ages to the judicial process, the history of the Building, and the architecture of the court.
