The White House will reopen for public tours starting Tuesday, February 25, 2025, as announced by First Lady Melania Trump. This reopening offers visitors a chance to explore the history and legacy of the American Presidency.
"The President and I are excited to reopen the White House to those interested in the extraordinary story of this iconic and beautiful landmark. There is much to learn about the American Presidency, the First Families who have lived here, and our Nation’s rich history from a firsthand experience at the White House. This opportunity is unique among nations around the globe—a tradition we are honored to continue for the hundreds of thousands of visitors who come each year," said First Lady Melania Trump.
Public tours must be arranged through Members of Congress, with requests accepted up to three months in advance. Tours operate on a first-come-first-served basis.
These self-guided tours typically last 45 minutes and are generally available from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., Tuesday through Thursday, and from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Friday through Saturday, excluding Federal holidays or unless otherwise noted. Tour hours may be extended when possible based on the official White House schedule. For more details about accessing the White House campus, visitors can refer to www.WhiteHouse.gov/Visit.
