A tour request must be submitted up to three months in advance. They must be a minimum of 21 days in advance and no more than 90 days. Officially it\u2019s on a first come, first serve basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is the kicker: even though you submit a request for a tour of the White House, you may not get in. Even if you do everything right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And they only confirm your tour tickets a couple of weeks before you arrive. So you\u2019ll have to be flexible in planning your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to increase your chances of getting a White House Tour?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To increase your chances, request tickets as early as possible.<\/strong> Yes, three months in advance. Most state representatives have a formal process on their website to get your tickets. An intern will be the one taking care of everything for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the White House gets your request, they will reach out to you to complete an extra screening process. You\u2019ll provide basic background check information for you and everyone in your party. Guest 13 years and older do not need to provide an SSN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are not a US citizen, you can still visit. You need to give your passport details as your ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I recommend submitting this as soon as possible. My notice told me I needed to finalize registration by 6 weeks before the tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After submitting your request, sit tight. Start planning like you will get in. You will hear back approximately 2-3 weeks prior to the requested tour dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One mistake I made was being too flexible in the request. I requested a tour of both the White House and the US Capitol, giving a window of two days. When I got approval for the White House Tour, it was at the same time as my US Capitol Tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was able to reach out to the intern and get my tours rearranged. I can\u2019t say requesting the tours on two separate days would have improved or hurt my chances, but remember this could be a possibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The White House has some serious rules and regulations around what is allowed inside the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To sum it up, plan on leaving everything at the hotel. Bags, purses, fanny packs, and just about everything you normally carry with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On their website, they have an official list. If you have medical-related things, it\u2019s fine\u2026 but otherwise, don\u2019t bring them. Wallets and phones are still fine, just not the purse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can bring in a compact camera<\/a>, as long as it doesn\u2019t interfere with the other people on the tour. There is no storage available at the White House to store stuff. That\u2019s why they suggest leaving your belongings in your room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your hotel is out of the way, there are lockers at the Smithsonian<\/a>\u2019s and the Metro Stations<\/a>. I also heard that nearby hotels like the JW Marriot<\/a> will store items for you for a fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No small action cameras like a GoPro. No DSLR Cameras with removable lenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can bring in a traditional style pocket camera, like a Canon Power Shot<\/a>. The lenses cannot extend past 3 inches. Security has a good idea of what\u2019s allowed and what isn\u2019t just by looking at it. They didn\u2019t even question mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are concerned about what you have, swing by the White House a day or two early and ask some of the secret services offers hanging out around people. You can use your cellphone too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Actually, they encourage it. I\u2019ll get to that part later. But the camera can only be used for photos, not videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Secret Service has the right to confiscate anything you may bring. So if you get caught misusing it\u2026 beware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was super paranoid about picture quality. My Canon Power Shot<\/a> took great pictures and is pocket friendly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Your confirmation email provides you with an official map of where to get in line. The tour line starts in the back of the Treasury Department. A group of National Park Service personnel will greet you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s recommended to line up about 15 minutes before your starting time. Talking with people in line, they did not hold you to that time. It took me about 30 minutes to get through security, so officially I was 15 minutes late for my timed entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One copy of the ticket will work for everyone in your group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Everyone 18 and older will need to present a valid government-issued photo ID upon entering the White House complex. Kids will not need a government-issued photo ID, like adults need. They just need to know their Date of Birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We quizzed the kids before to make sure they knew their dates. They both did great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure to have your ID out until you cross through the second Secret Service personal. They ask for you to present a valid ID multiple times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PRO TIP: Keep your ID in hand. They ask for it several times.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You will spend a good part of your time in line outside, without shelter. There are some sections that have a tent cover, to give you a break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They recommend that you\u2019re hydrated before getting there because you cannot bring water in with you. While I agree, don\u2019t overdo it because there are no restrooms available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wear sunscreen<\/a>, coat and take any other precautions you normally would. And dress for the weather. DC heat is relentless in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The White House tour is all self-guided. This one took me by surprise too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before going, download the official app- The White House Historical Association<\/a>. It walks you step by step through each room on the tour. It also has information about some of the artifacts and key pieces in their collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are also Secret Service agents positioned around the rooms to help answer any additional questions you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This took a little bit of time to get used to. In my mind, these people are on duty to protect and serve. Outside the White House during the security process, it was intense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you were not where you should be, they are quick to let you know and to keep the line moving. Don\u2019t leave gaps while you take pictures. You didn\u2019t mess around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But inside, the Secret Service is very friendly. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019m sure we were being watched at all times. But they welcomed questions and were even quizzing each other on the history of the rooms. It was very light-hearted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pro Tip: Review the White House App before going. Soak in as much information as possible, so you can use can be in the moment while you are there.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are also plaques in each room in case you didn’t have your phone or want to follow along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You’ll enter the house through the East Wing door. It’s not flashy, but it does the job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They call it a lobby, but it was a hallway into the White House. Make sure to check out the photos on the wall. They have historical shots of the presidents through the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Family Theater was created by Franklin D. Roosevelt for viewing wartime newsreels. Since then, First Families have used it as a theater room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is also used as a coatroom during large events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Garden Room looks out onto the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden. When Trump was in office, the soccer net was outside. They have since added a lot more flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More of just a hallway, the first floor corridor is where you can peek your head into other rooms. But more notably it holds the Baltimore Sheraton Breakfront Bookcase housing some China and other pieces from past presidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll also find Michelle Obama, Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton\u2019s Portraits there. Half of the hallways are blocked off as it is access to the West Wing of the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You’ll also find a gift shop. These items are exclusive to the White House and proceeds go to help supporting the building’s preservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Library was built in 1935 and houses more than 2,800 different books representing the best of American history and literature. According to the Secret Service member on site, this is President Bidens favorite room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Vermeil Room was originally a lady’s sitting room. But after the White House acquired a collection of gold-plated silver or vermeil, it now is the home of those pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The China Room hosts different China from each president and their wives. Like with all of the rooms on this floor, you cannot enter it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The only way to see some of the pieces is to visit the Smithsonian American History Museum<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After seeing these rooms, you’ll head upstairs.<\/p>\n\n\n By far the most intimidating of all the rooms for a few reasons. First, it\u2019s the largest and used for ceremonial events, portrait unavailing, and metal of honor awards. It\u2019s used for presidential funerals and bill signings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It also includes the portrait of George Washington that Frist Lady Dolley Madison had servants save as they fled the White House when the British invaded in 1814.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While in this room, turn around and take a look at the long hallway. A lot of press conferences are held here. Include the one where President Obama announced the death of Osama Bin Ladin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before entering the Green Room, you’ll have the option to go down either side of the rooms. The center is less congested, but you won’t get to see the view outside the windows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s one of my favorite’s views in historic properties, so I recommend doing the second entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Green Room is used as a sitting room for teas, interviews, and small parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Blue Room is directly across from the front entrance of the White House. It has an Oval Shape, and is used as the official White House Christmas tree in it every year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When the British burned the White House down in 1817, the furnishing all needed to be replaced. When James Monroe moved in, he brought in the 53-piece suite of furniture made in Paris by Pierre-Antoine Bellange for the Oval Room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most of the pieces were sold over the years. Before Jacqueline Kennedy’s restoration project, presidents were responsible for furnishing the house themselves. Thankfully some of these pieces were donated back to the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Red Room is where smaller gatherings and dinner parties are held. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt held women-only press conferences in this room as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The State Dining Room was Thomas Jeffersons\u2019 office. During Theodore Roosevelt\u2019s time, in 1902 the room was enlarged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is the primary place for formal dinners to honor heads of state and other dignitaries. Kings and Queens have dinner here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The hallways connect the State Dining Room and the East Room. In the hallway, you\u2019ll notice a lot of portraits including John F. Kennedy and Ronald Regan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a favorite place to get your photo in the White House. Take it under the presidential seal located above the entrance of the Blue Room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Entrance Hall is a place where the President and First Lady have always used to greet guests. A couple of fun things to watch out for are the Steinway Piano and the pictures of George W. Bush and Obama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is also a plaque embedded on the floor that most people miss, marking the dates of the construction, and major renovation years the White House underwent. The stars represent the number of states present when the stone was first installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The North Portico, or the main entrance to the White House, is the most ionic. This is probably the only place you\u2019ll be able to get a shot of the White House without the fence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Interesting change from my 2019 visit in 2023 the second barricade was removed, and you can now walk right up to the White House fence again. This was a great surprise allowing people to get an undisturbed picture of the Whiteh House between the fence poles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A good chunk of the rooms are blocked off, with the exception of a few that you can walk through a designated path. They don\u2019t want you getting too close to touch anything for obvious reasons. Think of it as a walk through a museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Around 1pm, the tours stop and the executive family takes full control of the White House again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the family wants to use the room during tour hours, the staff has the ability to close particular rooms or even shut down the tours altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is part of the reason why they don\u2019t let you know if you\u2019ve been approved until a couple of weeks before your visit.<\/p>\n\n\n If you get the rejection letter, don\u2019t worry. Chances are they had too many requests. Try again on your next visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stop by the White House Visitor Center and see a lot of the historical pieces and learn more about the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Download the WH Experience virtual tour and walk through each of the rooms on your smart phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take a walk around the White House. It\u2019s an experience all on its\u2019 own. Around 7 am during the week, you will have an unobstructed view of the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will have to stay a block away from the White House on each side and in the back. You can walk on Pennsylvania Ave in front. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As it gets later in the day, you\u2019ll be dealing with tour groups, protesters, and preachers broadcasting in front. It can get intense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Consider taking a walking tour of the great architecture around Washington DC. There is a great Federal Triangle Architecture Tour<\/a>, led by a local guide. You\u2019ll start in front of the White House neighborhood and then move down Pennsylvania Avenue, learning about the history of the town.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you go, I recommend brushing up on your White House Facts. There is no shortage of great books on the topic from all different points of view. Politics aside, here are my favorite recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n White House Tours should be reserved three months in advance and as late as three weeks beforehand. The earlier you book, the better chance you’ll get in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n White House Tour Tickets are easy to get, as long as you do some advanced planning. You can request tickets from a member of congress, at least three weeks in advance. Both U.S. Nationals and Foreign visitors can visit the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The White House has one type of tour available to the public. It’s a self-guided tour of the first and second floors of the building. It includes all the formal reception rooms. Private facilities and the executive wings are not included.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The White House tour is worth it, if you enjoy American history. You’ll enter rooms and stand where kings and queens have stood. You’ll be walking through history. From the architecture and artwork, you’ll be amazed. The White House is a historic and iconic symbol of the United States and is a must-see tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Entering the White House was one of the coolest experiences I’ve had. I’d definitely do it again. I got the opportunity to visit during two different presidencies. One thing that’s nice to see, is much of the house stays the same. But it’s nice to see how the current president makes minor changes to give it their own feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n White House tours are free. The public with a house tour has a limited number of spaces are available. Tours fill up quickly so you’ll need to request your tickets as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most coveted tour in Washington DC is always the White House. It has been the home to 44…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23080,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"MSN_Categories":"Uncategorized","MSN_Publish_Option":false,"MSN_Is_Local_News":false,"MSN_Is_AIAC_Included":"Empty","MSN_Location":"[]","MSN_Add_Feature_Img_On_Top_Of_Post":false,"MSN_Has_Custom_Author":false,"MSN_Custom_Author":"","MSN_Has_Custom_Canonical_Url":false,"MSN_Custom_Canonical_Url":"","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[939],"tags":[944,208,946,945],"apple_news_notices":[],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":939,"label":"Washington DC"}],"post_tag":[{"value":944,"label":"DC"},{"value":208,"label":"Free"},{"value":946,"label":"Indoors"},{"value":945,"label":"Museum"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/daytripper28.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Portico-of-the-White-House-1024x768.jpg",1024,768,true],"author_info":{"display_name":"Jenn S","author_link":"https:\/\/daytripper28.com\/author\/admin\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":939,"name":"Washington DC","slug":"washington-dc","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":939,"taxonomy":"category","description":"From the White House to the Smithsonian, Washington DC is full of history and culture.
