As we move into spring and summer, the Capitol Visitor Center is experiencing increased numbers of visitors. To help expedite entry into the Visitor Center, we are recommending that visitors thoroughly review the prohibited items list before you arrive. We are also suggesting that visitors arrive at least 45 minutes in advance of scheduled tour times. For more information, visit the “Know Before You Go” page.
We appreciate your help and look forward to welcoming you to the Capitol.
