Touring the White House

As a congressional office, we are happy to facilitate your request, however, it is ultimately up to the White House which parties receive a tour. White House tours are offered Friday and Saturday at 8 AM.

Tours are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis, and the White House requires at least two months advance notice to be considered. Requests submitted greater than three months in advance will be responded to when tour submission becomes possible (three months prior to the requested dates).

Upon your request, you will receive an email from the White House Visitor’s Center asking you to submit additional personal information such as name, birth date, place of birth, and social security number for security purposes.

The White House also requires tour participants to have valid, federal photo identification in hand prior to taking a tour. Beginning October 1, 2020, Minnesotans are required to have REAL ID-compliant identification to tour the White House. For more information about the REAL ID Act, or approved secondary forms of identification, please visit the Minnesota Department of Public Safety’s website, here.

The White House does not guarantee tour acceptance and reserves the right to cancel or modify approved tours at any time.

Touring the Library of Congress

The Library of Congress is free and open to the public. You are able to participate in a guided tour, gallery talk, or take a self-guided tour of the building and the exhibitions.

Public tours of the Thomas Jefferson Building are available on a first-come, first-served basis with a timed-entrance pass available here. Individuals and families with 10 members or less may join a public tour. Tours are offered on the half-hour from 10:30 AM to 3:30 PM with a limited schedule on Saturdays.  Inquire at the Jefferson Building, Ground Floor Information Desk for availability at least 30 minutes prior to your tour time.

On days with especially high visitation, the Library may offer a "build your own tour" experience with docents located throughout the building instead of a guided walking tour.
