We can accommodate Capitol tour requests for a staff-led guided tour of the Capitol complex from Monday through Friday. (Please Note: There is a 15 person limit per Capitol Tour. If we can accommodate large groups, they will have to divide into smaller groups). Capitol Tours are not guaranteed. Staff-led tours of the United States Capitol must be requested at least 30 days prior to the desired day. Please call 202-224-6542 to make a reservation for a staff led tour of the Capitol. When at the Capitol, feel free to stop by room 313 of the Hart Senate Office Building to see Senator Schumer’s office and to ask for passes to the Senate Gallery to watch the Senate at work.

Capitol Tours can also be scheduled through the new Capitol Visitor’s Center and include timed tickets and an orientation film. Click here to book your own Capitol Tour.

The Senate and House Galleries are open to visitors whenever either body is in session. In addition, the House Gallery is open 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., Monday – Friday, when the House is not in session. Passes are required to enter either gallery at any time. Visitors may obtain gallery passes from our office, located in suite 313 in the Hart building. If you plan on taking a tour of the Capitol, please pick up gallery passes prior to your tour.

My staff has also put together a helpful virtual tour of the Capitol Building. Click here to read more about the nations Capitol.

I hope your visit to your capital city is educational and enjoyable. Please feel free to contact my office anytime by calling 202-224-6542 if you have any questions or concerns.
