Tips
on Touring Capitol Hill
House and Senate Galleries
Passes to the House and Senate galleries to observe debate
on the floor of Congress can be obtained from my Washington
office in 2204 Rayburn House Office Building. Children must
be at least six years of age to be admitted to the Senate
gallery. In the House, children under 10 are allowed in
the gallery if accompanied by an adult. Gallery passes are
only honored when Congress is in session. Please also note
that Gallery passes may not be mailed to you in advance
of your arrival due to security restrictions and must therefore
be picked up from my Washington office.
Meals
Cafeterias are located in the Dirksen Senate Building directly north of the Capitol,
the Rayburn and Longworth House Office Building directly south of the Capitol,
and the James Madison Memorial Annex to the Library of Congress. The Madison Cafeteria
is open to the public during all hours of business, while the other cafeterias
are open to the public from 8:00 AM to 11:45 AM and from 1:15 to 2:30 PM
Transportation
Parking is very limited in Washington, DC. Taxis, buses, and the Metrorail subway
are available every day for transportation to and from Capitol Hill. Visitors
are encouraged to use the Metrorail system. For additional information, please
contact Metro information at 202-637-7000 or visit www.wmata.com.
If you
need any additional information or assistance, please do
not hesitate to ask.
Have
a safe and enjoyable trip to Washington.
