Visiting the White House
White House Tours
Public tours of the White House are available for groups of 10 or more people. Requests must be submitted through one’s Member of Congress and are accepted up to six months in advance. These self - guided tours are available from 7: 30 a. m. to 12: 30 p. m. Tuesday through Saturday, and are scheduled on a first come, first served basis approximately one month in advance of the requested date. We encourage you to submit your request as early as possible since a limited number of tours are available. All White House tours are free of charge. For the most current tour information, please call the 24-hour line at 202 -456 -7041. Please note that White House tours may be subject to last minute cancellation.
White House Visitor Center
All tours are significantly enhanced if visitors stop by the White House Visitor Center located at the southeast corner of 15th and E Streets, before or after their tour. The Center is open seven days a week from 7: 30 a. m. until 4: 00 p. m. and features many aspects of the White House, including its architecture, furnishings, first families, social events, and relations with the press and world leaders, as well as a thirty-minute video. Allow between 20 minutes to one hour to explore the exhibits. The White House Historical Association also sponsors a sales area. Please note that restrooms are available, but food service is not.
Mobility-Impaired/Using a Wheelchair
Guests requiring the loan of a wheelchair should notify the officer at the Visitors Entrance Building upon arrival.
Wheelchairs loans are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations are not possible.
Visitors in wheelchairs, or with other mobility disabilities, on the Congressional guided or self-guided tours, between 8:00 a. m. and 12 noon, use the same Visitor entrance and, with up to four members of their party, are admitted without waiting in line and without tickets.
Visitors in wheelchairs are escorted by ramp from the entrance level to the ground floor, and by elevator from the ground to the state floor. Guests generally wait in line with their family or group.
Hearing-Impaired
Tours for hearing-impaired groups may be arranged in advance by writing to the Visitors Office, White House, Washington, DC 20502. Tours are usually scheduled at 9: 30 a. m. , between the Congressional and public tour times. Participants enter at the East Appointment gate. A U. S. Secret Service/Uniformed Division Tour Officer conducts the tour in sign language. Signed tours are available to groups of 8 to 20. Groups are also encouraged to bring their own interpreters.
Signing interpretation is also available for individual visitors with advance notice. A Congressional office first issues guided tour tickets to a guest who is hearing-impaired and then contacts the Visitors Office at least 2 weeks in advance to request interpreter service.
The Visitors Office TDD (Telephone Device for the Deaf) is 202 -456 -2121. Messages may be left outside normal business hours.
Visually-Impaired
Tours for visually-impaired groups may be arranged in advance by writing to the Visitors
Office, White House, Washington, DC 20502. The tours are usually scheduled at 9:30 a. m. , between the Congressional and public tour times. Participants enter at the East Appointment gate. A U. S. Secret Service/Uniformed Division Tour Officer permits visitors to touch specific objects in the House. Touch tours are currently available only to groups of 8 to 20, not to individual visitors. Guide animals are permitted in the White House.
