Basic information on several Washington attractions is provided on the links below. Because tour and security information can change frequently and without notice, we recommend you contact each attraction or visit each website for the most up-to-date information. At locations where it is required, we are pleased to submit requests on behalf of our Florida constituents.

Please keep in mind that all tour requests are awarded by the locations on a first-come, first-served basis, and are subject to availability. In order to best accommodate your request, please submit tour requests as soon as possible. Families and groups of 10 people or less should submit requests at least two months in advance of a visit, and large organized groups should submit requests at least six months before a planned visit. Please note that tours fill up very quickly during holiday times and in the spring and summer months. Therefore submitting a request before the aforementioned deadlines does not necessarily guarantee a requests acceptance.
