The Capitol Visitor Center was designed to provide constituents the ability to tour the building with knowledgeable staff. The Capitol Visitor Center is open to visitors from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday except for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day and on Inauguration Day. However, they do require reservations, which we are pleased to request tours for Maryland residents. Additionally, Maryland school groups can now book tours of up to 50 people that will be led by the Capitol Visitor Center.

Tours do not include passes for the Senate Gallery. If you want to visit the gallery, you can stop by my office at 730 Hart Senate Office Building to pick up gallery passes. Passes are required to enter either gallery at any time. For information on whether the Senate gallery is open, please call (202) 224-0057.

The FBI Experience is a self-guided tour at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C. Open to the public, the tour features interactive multimedia exhibits, content, and artifacts—including a number of items from notable cases on display for the very first time—that help illustrate the importance of the Bureau’s work to protect the nation.

Operating hours are Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., excluding federal holidays. You can schedule a visit to The FBI Experience up to five months in advance but no later than four weeks prior to the desired visit date.
